(Hook)
Not gonna be afraid no more; fear don't live here no more! Not gonna be afraid no more; pain just walked out the door. That Spirit ain't here with me; God didn't put that in me. But the spirit of power and love & of sound mind.
[v1]
Waking up everyday thinking what I'm gonna pay with the money I made. Thinking what I'm gonna say when the wife asks me "where's the money we saved?"
Using the loot for the gas bill to pay the rent; more loot from the light bill I spent. Don't want to get the phone cause it just keeps ringing & ringing.
A lot of things through the mail got me thinking I can make it if I use more debt. I hit a refi on the crib; but the loan man keeps saying "not yet."
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Rob Pete & make a deal with Paul; praying that pink slip don't fall. A brother ain't got time, too much on the grind, I'm gon' let it go; trust God; let Him know!
[REPEAT Hook]
[v2]
Seems like everyday something worse popping up on the news report (makes me think)
Should I keep the kids home from school or should I stay away from the airport?
Using fear as a weapon revoke hate, now everybody thinks the world ain't a safe place.
Don't want to use the phone cause it
Might be (shh) somebody's listening
A lot of views got me all confused and I really don't know what to think. We got conservatives, liberals, activists, spiritual hypocrites on the brink.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
One nations deadly call results in another nation's fall. People ain't got time too much on the grind; we gon' let it go, trust God; let Him know!
REPEAT Hook
[v3:]
Gas up through the roof and I just bought a Hummer and convertible coupe. Trying to keep a little juice in the boose in the trunk; but the loots in use.
[Bridge 1]
PAJAM's working overtime keeping hope alive.
Keeping Moss in the ministry in public eye; but hypothetically what happens if the phone stops ringing?
[BRIDGE 2]
Its my belief (not gonna be afraid no more)
Of poverty (not gonna be afraid no more)
Not losing sleep (not gonna be afraid no more)
Of running out of money (not gonna be afraid no more)
Racism (not gonna be afraid no more)
Terrorism (not gonna be afraid no more)
No brother ain't got time too much on the grind, I'm a let it go
Trust God; let Him know!
