Kaleem Ali - Terrified

Let me tell you a fairy tail when Corey started to sing
Knew that I fell in love, I saw your face in my dreams
Wrote you a couple words, but I never say the truth
Only Wish that I could tell you how I felt inside the booth

Time passed on I started rappin with a group
The flow got tighter some would say that I'm the truth
Then I had to leave the troop, they didn't believe
Now I'm on that squad shit, but I still fuck with the team

Out shows weren't sellin and our mixtapes floppin
And our grind got slower so I had to pick an option
Bills keep hittin just imagine the stress
Plus I left moms house tryna stack up the checks

Massive in debt, you didn't hear me rappin at all
So many different times I had my back to the wall
Never got to the point of havin crack in my drawls
But I been down still fighting for the plaques on the wall

Massive in debt, you didn't hear me rappin at all
So many different times I had my back to the wall
Never got to the point of havin crack in my drawls
But I been down still fighting for the plaques on the wall

Even if I gotta testify, let me set it straight clarify
Ima find my way to paradise, cause I been livin like I'm terrified
And I been down so many times, but I was told that this world mine
They could hate but I'll still shine
Done livin like I'm terrified

I'm doin everything I can
I fell a couple times but I learned and I understand
I barely see em around to put the blame on me
I Had to find my own way and teach myself to be a man

I was afraid thinking I needed a helping hand
But I put it all together from the power within
Can't nobody tell me nothin cause I made the mistakes
And the only difference now is that I fail and take

From it you want to leave? Ima give you the space
I'm shooting for the stars, they gettin out of my way
Back then they didn't believe now they Ridin the wave
I had to put myself first to sit right in my place

Fightin fear and doubt
All the blood sweat and tears that you hear about
Isn't anything like it seems cause you need the pain
It made me who I am now, and I beat the game

Even if I gotta testify, let me set it straight clarify
Ima find my way to paradise, cause I been livin like I'm terrified
And I been down so many times, but I was told that this world mine
They could hate but I'll still shine
Done livin like I'm terrified
