Afraid

Afraid of what comes Afraid of facts Afraid of murderers to come sweep of my back Afraid of killers, afraid of psychics Afraid of stokers, to come stoke me behind my back Afraid of rappers, afraid of all these actions To take place, place in my torn into pieces life I stand by the security guard To help me ease my terror I lift the sleeves of my blouse Ready to fight them back I increase my speed Ready to kick their ass I do all this Just to prove Afraid is something only felt to God…
