[Chorus]

Not gonna be afraid no more

Fear don't live here no more

Not gonna be afraid no more

Pain just walked out that door

That spirit ain't here with me

God didn't put that in me

But the spirit of power and love

And of sound mind

Of sound mind


[Verse 1]

Waking up every day

Thinking what I'm gonna pay

With the money I made

Thinking what I'm gonna say

When the wife ask me

"Where the money we saved?"

Use the loot for the gas bill

To pay the rent

More loot from the light bill I spent

Don't wanna get the phone

Cause it just keeps ringin' (ringing)

Alot of things through the mail

Got me thinkin I can make it

If I use more debt

Get a refi on the crib

But the loan man keep sayin' not yet

I rob pete make a deal with paul

Prayin that pink slip don't fall

Brother ain't got time

Too much on the grind

I'm gonna let it go

Trust God let him know


[Chorus]

Not gonna be afraid no more

Fear don't live here no more

Not gonna be afraid no more

Pain just walked out that door

That spirit ain't here with me

God didn't put that in me

But the spirit of power and love

And of sound mind

Of sound mind


[Verse 2]

Seems like every day

Somethin' worse poppin' up

On the news report (Lemme think)

Should I keep the kids home from school?

Should I stay away from the airport?

Using fear as a weapon revoke hate

Everybody think the world ain't a safe place

Don't wanna use the phone cause it might be—

Shhh somebody's listening

Alot of views got me all confused

And I really dont know what to think

(we got)

Executives, liberals, activist, sprital, hypocrites

On the brink (no offense)

One nations deadly call

Results in another nation's fall

People ain't got time

Too much on the grind

We gone let it go

Trust God let him know


[Chorus]

Not gonna be afraid no more

Fear don't live here no more

Not gonna be afraid no more

Pain just walked out that door

That spirit ain't here with me

God didn't put that in me

But the spirit of power and love

And of sound mind

Of sound mind


[Verse 3]

Gas up through the roof

And I just bought a hummer and convertible coupe (What?)

Tryna keep a little juice in the boose

In my trunk

But the loots in use

PAJAMs working over time

Keeping hope alive

Keeping Moss in the ministry and public eye

But hypothetically what happens if the phone stops ringin'

It's my belief (not gonna be afraid no more)

Of poverty (not gonna be afraid no more)

Not losing sleep (not gonna be afraid no more)

Of running out of money (not gonna be afraid no more)

Racism (not gonna be afraid no more)

Terrorism (not gonna be afraid no more)

Brother ain't got time

Too much on the grind

Imma let it go

Trust God let him know


[Chorus]

Not gonna be afraid no more

Fear don't live here no more

Not gonna be afraid no more

Pain just walked out that door

That spirit ain't here with me

God didn't put that in me

But the spirit of power and love

And of sound mind

Of sound mind

Not gonna be afraid no more

Fear don't live here no more

Not gonna be afraid no more

Pain just walked out that door

That spirit ain't here with me

God didn't put that in me

But the spirit of power and love

And of sound mind

Of sound mind
