Afraid
Is it ok to be afraid?
The second you awake
everybody around you fuckin up your day
make no mistake
we livin in the fray
fuck em all and pray for a rainy day
wake and bake off the sticky herbal in the tray
until it all fades away
until in this room you stay
kitchen window peepin out the blinds intruders comin in?-no way
when im loadin up that 308
Is it ok to be afraid of bullets flying astray?
Resign to your fate
feel from those who really do love you that they must hate
that humanity is not humane
that we all insane
at any rate we runnin no one wins the human race
at the end of the day the sun goes west and as a civilization we give chase
as a society embraces fear and hate
Is it ok to be afraid?
From the day your born people put you in the grave
social security to social purity the american way
god bless us on the lettuce in god we trust before we go back to dust, higher ups put us in our place
but aint nobody higher than us thats a disgrace!
mcdonalds good taste, and police in your face
livin in disgrace, justice is blind getting sprayed with the mace
this the realist situation this really is the case,
set in our ways, trailer parks ghetto smarts and makeshift bar strewn caves
erased, swept away they left no trace but consumerist commercialism ways of waste
until the end of days we be left even asking “Is it ok to be afraid?”
