Dear Fear - KOTA The Friend

[00:26.763] Toxic papi
[00:27.964] Turned profit probably
[00:29.236] Couldn’t find me
[00:30.085] I been with my sheikah out in Abu Dabi
[00:32.493] Heard you saw my ex girl chillin in the Oscars lobby
[00:35.656] Holdin 5 trophys. Crying and looking hella sloppy
[00:38.835] I been givin all of my energy to my real ones
[00:41.902] If you gon flip the script on your homie it’s **** a day one
[00:45.315] Resmaa told me why is you wallowing, pick your face up
[00:48.418] It’s life reps, all preparation for when yo day comes
[00:51.634]
[00:51.782] When people see you growing
[00:53.207] Surpassing what they imagined
[00:54.828] They quick to call you a fraud
[00:56.358] Attempting to steal your magic
[00:58.038] I told her I’m moving on
[00:59.561] Arguing every day, you don’t trust me and you ain’t wrong
[01:02.748] But baby the love
[01:03.709] Is gone
[01:04.701]
[01:04.867] Like we should start this book club
[01:06.358] Reading really been helping me
[01:07.979] I’m learning to communicate healthily
[01:09.738] This is wealth for me
[01:11.151] But you ain’t tryna hear it you hurting
[01:13.092] And yeah I get it
[01:14.038] But it’s time for me to get up and get to where I am headed
[01:17.042]
[01:17.185] I got
[01:18.483] free time
[01:19.704] I got so much free time
[01:22.990] I’m never gon rewind
[01:26.090] I left your ass behind
[01:29.346] I catch my cab
[01:31.313] I’m gone, I let my seat recline
[01:34.419] I’m on my way back home
[01:39.062] I’m throwing up peace signs
[01:43.871]
[01:44.565] I really gotta Thank you for protecting me
[01:46.880] For all these years
[01:47.919] But I had to grow up and tell you let me be
[01:50.065] Let me feel
[01:50.894] Let me know love
[01:52.012] My nigga let me heal
[01:53.411] Cus you been keeping from my best days
[01:55.866] I know that you mean good
[01:57.187] But this isn’t back then
[01:58.956] These demons are imaginary
[02:00.531] Bro that was back then
[02:02.081] It’s time to move on
[02:03.382] It’s time to start a new song
[02:04.984] You always putting out a fire
[02:06.869] But your water too strong
[02:08.394]
[02:08.552] Used to be a firefighter now I water my lawn
[02:11.399] And keep the grass cut
[02:12.539] Tossing every snake to the birds
[02:14.746] **** what you heard
[02:15.850] Every pot hole I swerve
[02:17.284] Actions follow my words
[02:19.014] All my people loyal so loyal what they deserve
[02:22.183] And I know that you here to make sure that I’m never hurt
[02:25.399] But pain is unavoidable, thats just something I learned
[02:28.736] If you never let in the pain, you never learn how to love, you don’t experience joy
[02:34.574] It’s like how long can I run
[02:35.918] It’s like how long can I live
[02:37.361] It sucks to hold on to my love when
[02:39.150] I got so much to give
[02:40.659] I always gave you the wheel
[02:42.190] But now its get out the whip
[02:43.873] Get yo ass in the back
[02:45.429] I’m lettin love run the ship
[02:47.112] So you can sit and relax
[02:48.716] And if I need you I’ll call
[02:50.368] At least I know where you at
[02:51.912] You got me all the way here
[02:53.510] I’m hella grateful for that
[02:55.310] We made it farther than most
[02:56.929] Got me through all of my lows
[02:58.381] But fear, it’s time that you rest
[03:00.010] Just know I love you to death
