We Are Not Afraid (feat. Notorious BIG)

After realizin', to master enterprisin'

I ain't have ta be in school by ten, I was in

Began to encounter, wit my counter-parts

On how to burn the block apart, break it down into section

Drugs by the selection

Some use pipes, others use injections

Syringe sold seperately, Frank the deputy

Quick to grab my Smith & Wesson, like my dick was missin'

To protect my position, my corner, my layer

While we out here, say the hustlas prayer

If the game shakes me or breaks me

I hope it makes me a better man

Take a better stand

Put money in my moms hand

Get my daughter this college plan, so she don't need no man

Stay far from timid

Only make moves when your heart's in it

And live the phrase Sky's The Limit

Why do you keep

On whispering

Talking with your face turned away

You say that love

Don't come easy for you

What makes you think I'm not afraid?

Ever since I met ya I could peep the pressure

It's like your man don't understand, all he does is stress ya

I can see your state of misery from the introduction

Ain't 'bout no suckin' and touchin', just harmless discussion

Maybe we can see a better way, find a brighter day

Late night phone conversations – would that be OK?

I don't wanna take up all your time, be the next in line

Tell me your size, let me find you things with you in mind

I can see you're cautious and I'm careful not to scare you

The anticipation of love makin'

Got you shakin' when I'm standin' near you

News of precision will prepare ya

In case you get scared, just ask the man in the mirror

Now the picture's gettin' clearer

All he does is hit you hard

I tell you to leave him, and you tell me keep my faith in God

I don't understand, I just wanna bring ya home

I wonder should I leave you alone

And find a woman of my own

Why do you keep

On whispering

Talking with your face turned away

You say that love

Don't come easy for you

What makes you think I'm not afraid?

A nigga never been as broke as me, I like that

When I was young I had two pair of Lees, besides that

The pin stripes and the gray, the one I wore on Mondays and Wednesdays

While niggas flirt I'm sewing tigers on my shirts, and alligators

You want to see the inside, I see you later

Here comes the drama, oh

That's that nigga with the fake, blaow

Why you punch me in my face? Stay in your place

Play your position, here come my intuition

Go in this nigga pocket, rob him while his friends watchin'

And hoes clockin', here comes respect

His crew's your crew or they might be next

Look at their man eye, big man, they never try

So we rolled with them, stole with them

I mean loyalty, niggas bought me milks at lunch

The milks was chocolate, the cookies, butter crunch

Why do you keep

On whispering

Talking with your face turned away

You say that love

Don't come easy for you

What makes you think I'm not afraid?
