9th Wonder
Man Without Fear
[Intro]
Yeah, yeah
Ok wait, let me turn this up, yeah yeah
Ok, yo, we’re back already bro
Yo, I dropped a mixtape in 2020, ok
And then I dropped an EP in 2021, right
And now here we are with the end of the trilogy, let’s go
Yeah, ayy, yo we’re about to go crazy on this
So Long & Vibrations, Barry Pablo, 90210, Man Without Fear, Perseu
Uh, yeah, you know I’m boutta go crazy on this mixtape so just brace yourself, ok
Cause I cut checks like, like uh, what

[Verse 1]
I cut checks like emo wrists
Do shit where parents make all thеy kids visit therapists
I’m hella pissed likе full bladders
I’m climbing ladders like construction
My voice break up all of your functions now, uh
I discipline like Supernanny
The highest score, see my ass across the board
I rap a toad, hella tough, you fuckers froze
I rep like nold, bare knuckles deliver Schwartz
Smell of success is what the ladies like the best
I give the scent but never clutch to a Corvette
Cause I’m all but bread, I spread awareness, grab the toast
Aimed at you like roast
I feed you bullets, better not choke now
[Interlude 1]
Ayo man this year has been crazy so far, you know
Just like I mentioned before I changed my name, you know, it’s Barry Pablo because, uh, you know, Barry the Fla—
Actually you know what, we’ll get to that later, you’ll see that later, you’ll see that later but
You know when I was making this mixtape I was just trying to make some like West-Coast vibes, you know
Try to get into the groove of things, you know
E-40, Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, you know
I’m gonna see Ice Cube this month but
See you can’t touch me, you can’t touch me like, uh

[Verse 2]
You can’t touch me like artifacts on display
Grip the pen and construct like clay
Face of death, make you lose your breath like cardiac
Under arrest, I face a charge like dead phones
I feel home, watch me gloss like silver chrome
I stumble across the mic
And shout into it like reich
I see it as a birthright
How many of us are left? None, huh
So lemme revive like chest compressions
I feel depression when I don’t push the pen to paper
I smell the vapor, my hunger make me fly to it
All my peers are screwed, they stay mad like Hen Hewitt
I grab the gat and pew
Like picking seats up in the church now
I see the stars are bright but they don’t very last
So lemme position, travel lightyears, and sing my past
[Interlude 2]
Yeah, speaking of 2022, man
It’s my last year in high school, can you believe that?, 17 I’m making this right now
My last year in high school
I’m boutta say goodbye to all my friends, you know
It’s boutta be bittersweet but I gotta stay on that grind, you know, I gotta stay on that grind
Yeah, yeah, ok

[Verse 3]
The grind be keeping me moving on slow days
But knocking on wood like croquet
Keep me from getting jinxed cause I
Rather brag about the future that I want built
A little rapper’s fantasy while he’s fiending for milk
Cause all he wants is cheese
Writing then bleed is my creed
For centuries, he be reeling in keys to the house of hip hop
Voodoo spells they be thinking I’m casting cause I excel
But I’m at large, so I don’t fit in, please do not tell
My mission, man, is to retire fore I blow out
But first I got to start with this pen, so people look out
For now I can’t be compared to Cole, Kendrick or Drake
But I can be remembered as the kid who had faith
In his potential to fly
Boosting his mom and dad’s pride
You raised one hell of a god, huh
What can I say? A man without fear
Is something I dare to be, clear the fog please
I can’t see the next page of my life
[Outro]
Yeah
Man Without Fear
So Long & Vibrations
Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Barry Pablo
And see the possibilities of being a man without fear
