Royce Da 5'9" - Outside lyrics

[Robert Glasper] I was also gonna ask about your fear as an individual You know, it's plenty of people, feel a sense of security around you and kinda lean on you You ever feel like a certain amount of pressure from that? Do you ever get afraid? [Royce da 5'9"] Of course I do I mean everybody gets afraid sometimes [Robert Glasper] What possibly could make you afraid? What are you afraid of? (afraid of, afraid of) [Royce da 5'9"] (I'm afraid, I'm afraid) (Sometimes I'm even afraid to admit I'm afraid) I'm afraid of the weight of my problems Haters working overtime, 8 or 9 jobs worth All these wanted ski masks n***as Old basketball shorts under jean a** n***as needa know I'm a product of a dead poet riding(?) at it's low Equals Mia Angelo, my emphatic flow can rise the status quo Lying on the panic(?) floor(?) Addict at it's best Eradicated from the fabricated Afraid at the thought of releasing music that's indicative of where I'm at in life Will they like? Will they hate? The better question is if they hate it is you down to pay the price? I'll look you right in your eyes and say you mother f**in' right Don't bother me with adversity, I conquered more ground than King Kong could All I think about these days is Mom good 'Cause she diabetic My daddy just had a cancer scare And do he still work at the post office? The answer's yeah I'm introverted, knowing that it's not about Oz Bigger problems outside [Marsha Ambrosius] There's a war going on outside That no man is safe from You see you can smile but that won't change the color of your skin But I'm the sinner Yet you kick me, punch me, say don't trust me Shoot me down like I'm up to something f** with me and say I've deceived you But how's that legal? Am I ....... (?) Why do you hate me? [Royce da 5'9"] I'm afraid of you going to college and not acknowledging I'm your father 'cause you not proud enough But I fought hard to make sure you never see things I'm a product of It's easy to confuse being a father with being a provider But all we got is us and i'm afraid to lose you You the coolest kid I ever saw
