Etana
I Am Not Afraid
[Verse 1]
I see them coming after my soul
Wanted to take control
Wanna give me locks
Wanna give me bling
Wanna give me all the material things

I hear dem talking 'bout
What the world has to offer
Girl what you doing?
Don't you see
What they have done to Bedward and Marcus, Jesus, and all of the prophets

[Chorus]
But I am not afraid
No, I am not afraid
No, I am not afraid

If dem a come let them come
'Cause I'm protected by the most I one

[Verse 2]
They don't mind
When you fall behind
And can't pay your bills on time
Prostituting and standing in their government line
No
And they don't mind
When you waste your time
Coming up with some stupid line
Influencing the youth dem fi start a line
Or take a life

And they don't mind
When you locked up in jail
Can't get no bail
Sentence fi life

You can't see you youth dem strive
But they dont mind

[Chorus]
But I am not afraid
No, I am not afraid
No, I am not afraid
No

If dem a come let them come
'Cause I'm protected by the most I one

Don't be foolish
Oh no
Thinkin' they don't know your name

[Verse 3]
I see them coming after my soul
Wanted to take control
Wanna give me locks
Wanna give me bling
Wanna give me all the material things

I hear dem talking 'bout
What the world has to offer
Girl what you doing?
Don't you see
What they have done to Bedward and Marcus, Jesus, and all of the prophets

[Chorus]
But I am not afraid
No
No, I am not afraid
No, I am not afraid
No

If dem a come let them come
'Cause I'm protected by the most I one

[Verse 4]
They don't mind
When you fall behind
And can't pay your bills on time
Prostituting and standing in their government line
No
And they don't mind
When you waste your time
Coming up with some stupid line
Influencing the youth dem fi start a line
Or take a life

And they don't mind
When you locked up in jail
Can't get no bail
Sentence fi life

You can't see you youth dem strive
But they dont mind

[Chorus]
But I am not afraid
No, I am not afraid
No, I am not afraid
No

If dem a come let them come
'Cause I'm protected by the most I one
