Afraid

What they say, what they say, what they say
What they say, what they say, what they say

You speak out, all you feel is defiance
All you need is some self reliance
‘Cause this world is gonna always try us
And all you wanted was to run for cover
And who’s looking for yourself and no other
We’re all searching for special something
And we keep on runnin

We all have the choice to take the lead or follow
I want to feel the light shine on me

So afraid of what people might say
But that’s all ok ‘cause you’re only human
So afraid of what people might say
But that’s all ok you soon get strong enough
So afraid of what people might say
But that’s all ok ‘cause you’re only human
So afraid of what people might say
You’re going to break so please don’t do it

You wanna spread your wings but you’re not sure
Dont wanna leave your comfort just wanna find a cure
We afraid of who we see in the mirror
We wanna let go but it feels too pure
Who wants to be alone in this world
You look around and all you see is hurt
But the light it always finds us
If it moved with a little trust

We all have the choice to take the lead or follow
I want to feel the light shine on me

So afraid of what people might say
But that’s all ok ‘cause you’re only human
So afraid of what people might say
But that’s all ok you soon get strong enough
So afraid of what people might say
But that’s all ok ‘cause you’re only human
So afraid of what people might say
You’re going to break so please don’t do it

[Attitude]
And now I know to define what shine is
I don’t need a Rolex to what the time is
You got yours lemme find what mine is
I’m a survivor
Look how strong my mind is
I stand on my own
It’s all me
Regardless
So wherever they call me
I’m a leader, not a follower
And I’d rather be paid and popular
Grind homie, get your dollars on
We in the belly of the beast
That already swallowed us

[Nelly]
It’s the end of the world and we know it
It’s the end of the world.
And we know it

So afraid of what people might say
But that’s all ok ‘cause you’re only human
So afraid of what people might say
But that’s all ok you soon get strong enough
So afraid of what people might say
But that’s all ok ‘cause you’re only human
So afraid of what people might say
You’re going to break so please don’t do it

So afraid of what people might say

You’re going to break so please don’t do it
