Kota the Friend - Dear Fear Lyrics

Yeah
Toxic papi
Turned profit probably
Couldn't find me
I been with my Sheikah out in Abu Dabi
Heard you saw my ex girl chillin' in the Oscars lobby
Holdin' five trophies
Cryin' and lookin' hella sloppy
I been givin' all of my energy to my real ones
If you gon' flip the script on your homie it's fuck a day one
Resmaa told me why is you wallowin', pick your face up
It's life reps, all preparation for when yo' day comes

When people see you growin'
Surpassin' what they imagined
They quick to call you a fraud
Attemptin' to steal your magic
I told her I'm movin' on
Arguin' every day, you don't trust me and you ain't wrong
But, baby, the love is gone

Like we should start this book club
Readin' really been helpin' me
I'm learnin' to communicate healthily
This is wealth for me
But you ain't tryna hear it you hurtin'
And, yeah, I get it
But it's time for me to get up
And get to where I am headed

I got
Free time
I got so much free time
I'm never gon' rewind
I left your ass behind
I catch my cab
I'm gone
I let my seat recline
I'm on my way back home
I'm throwin' up peace signs

I really gotta thank you for protectin' me
For all these years
But I had to grow up and tell you let me be
Let me feel
Let me know love
My nigga let me heal
'Cause you been keepin' from my best days
I know that you mean good
But this isn't back then
These demons are imaginary
Bro, that was back then
It's time to move on
It's time to start a new song
You always puttin' out some fire
But your water too strong

Used to be a firefighter now I water my lawn
And keep the grass cut
Tossin' every snake to the birds
Fuck what you heard
Every pothole I swerve
Actions follow my words
All my people loyal, so loyal what they deserve
And I know that you here to make sure that I'm never hurt
But pain is unavoidable, that's just somethin' I learned
And if you never let in that pain
You never learn how to love, you don't experience joy
It's like how long can I run
It's like how long can I live
It sucks to hold on to my love
When I got so much to give
I always gave you the wheel
But now it's get out the whip
Get yo' ass in the back
I'm lettin' love run the ship
So you can sit and relax
And if I need you I'll call
At least I know where you at
You got me all the way here
I'm hella grateful for that
We made it farther than most
Got me through all of my lows
But fear, it's time that you rest
Just know I love you to death
