Afraid
by J. Moss

Album: Gotta Have Gospel! 7

(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

Verse 1
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 re-fi 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 dont fall
A brother ain't got time, too much on the grind, I'm gone let it go
Trust God; let Him know!

REPEAT Hook

Verse 2
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
Dont want to use the phone cause it
Might be (shh) somebody's listening

A lot of views got me all confused
And I really dont 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 gone 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!

Hook repeats 2x
