Larry D. - No Fears Lyrics

Better draw close to the ones you hold dear
Cause I swear it's so real when you look and they ain't there

And when people look at you all they see is a blank stare
Cuz your eyes have run dry you can't cry no more tears
Oh the love that we could give if we could live with no fears in life
No fear of death, no fear is allowed to live here

Unless it's the fear of God, no fear is mine
I once thought about seeing a psychic
But what good is my story if the seer's gonna write it
Read my palms, shit, you might as well read my rights

Lock me behind bars and let that be my life
Thinking about my future wouldn't be as exciting
I'd plan my funeral knowing who's gonna be uninvited
Cause I had already attended theirs, I'd see my people dying

Before it was their time and I'd keep on reminding myself
Of the date of their departure, their fate I'd try to conquer
But let us not forget that Frankenstein was the doctor
So if I defeat death then that would make me the monster

I'd be dealing with the devil thinking maybe we could barter
A life for a life, but the price wouldn't be right
Won't give an eye for an eye at the plight of my sight
Because light is to night what life is to death

And I'd like to see what life could be while I got the time left
Man you better draw close to the ones you hold dear
Cause I swear it's so real when you look and they ain't there
And when people look at you all they see is a blank stare

Cause your eyes have run dry you can't cry no more tears
Oh the love that we could give if we could live with no fears
In life no fear of death, no fear is allowed to live here
Unless it's the fear of God, no fear is mine

I feel like grief may be the biggest thief of joy
I never met my grandpa and he's never seen my boy
Named him Larry D the fourth and he's the reason for it
We're only born to work the land and this world needs employees

I'm well seasoned for it, my hands and heart are calloused
Need you to understand that my plans are far from malice
If I start imagining something different than this life that y'all established
And go down a rabbit hole of wonders promise you won't call me Alice

I'm often challenged with what's fake and what's true
It's sometimes hard to balance the weight of the two
Hear this blessing of a message I'm relaying to you
Depending on the day it's okay if you choose

Joy over grief if you need to, vice versa
I've learned to not focus too much on one thing it might hurt ya
Wash your hands of the disease like you're trying to fight MRSA
There's a list of different options for you, clickin' the right cursor

Man you better draw close to the ones you hold dear
Cause I swear it's so real when you look and they ain't there
And when people look at you all they see is a blank stare
Cause your eyes have run dry you can't cry no more tears

Oh the love that we could give if we could live with no fears
No fear of death no fear is allowed to live here
Unless it's the fear of God no fear is mine
So what's fear is it something that we're here to feel

Big Sean said it's false evidence appearing real
Sean I hear ya don't think I could say it clearer
Cause sometimes I'm afraid of the man I see in the mirror
Who appears when I look there isn't always reflective of what the world sees

I've spent a lot of time second guessing every message I've portrayed
But for all the ones that come the standard I gotta set is what I want this for my son
When he's no longer too young to understand what it means
I think about my nieces and it really tears me to pieces

That I've been offensive to women and now I gotta play defense
I don't want no negativity in their lives to come from me
