[00:00.21]Written by：Nathaniel Irvin III/Janelle Monáe Robinson
[00:00.42]All the kids run around playing free and fun
[00:03.42]While the dogs lap around the can
[00:05.79]
[00:07.76]Falling down climbing trees swimming in the river
[00:10.74]No life jacket on their backs
[00:13.78]
[00:15.26]Daughters sharpen their knives and they hunt for food
[00:18.29]Others watch their children grow
[00:20.94]
[00:22.83]Mothers going to work
[00:24.35]And they shake the hands of a corporate tycoon's ghost
[00:28.73]
[00:30.20]And I'm afraid
[00:31.38]
[00:33.80]Ah I'm so afraid
[00:38.05]
[00:39.74]Ah what if I lose
[00:43.69]
[00:45.21]Is what I think to myself
[00:48.20]I'm fine in my shell
[00:51.30]I'm afraid of it all afraid of loving you
[00:54.50]I'm a gift and a curse to the wilderness
[00:56.59]
[00:57.54]When the leaves only turn to brown
[00:59.93]
[01:02.15]The birds fly high and they wink at all of the grandmothers on the ground
[01:07.77]
[01:09.29]Rain pours down in the village dens
[01:12.29]My cousins fetch for lunch
[01:15.10]
[01:16.80]While I sit in my room writing letters to my church and things and such
[01:22.64]
[01:24.15]'Cause I'm afraid
[01:25.77]
[01:27.72]Ah I'm so afraid
[01:31.55]
[01:33.63]Ah what if I lose
[01:37.89]
[01:39.16]Is what I think to myself
[01:42.23]I'm fine in my shell
[01:45.29]I'm afraid of it all afraid of loving you
[01:49.23]
[02:03.85]Cousins all in the creek
[02:06.52]
[02:11.06]And the rain pours down the ghetto dancing yeah
[02:15.41]
