No Time To Be Scared

[Verse 1] I came up where the stoop stain red Where the screen door slams and the rumors spread Old heads on the corner, young boys moved quick One wrong glance and the whole block twitch I seen fear make big talk fold Seen tough guys vanish when the night got cold My phone on silent, my jaw stay tight If you want smoke, better bring that light Fresh out the cut with the hood all eyes Got a mean little grin and a steel in my vibe No lucky charm, no saint, no prayer Just a hard-earned stare and a I-don’t-care [Pre-Chorus] Hands up, now don’t get brave One step close and the whole thing change I been through it, I been through pain Still walk like I own this lane [Chorus] No time to be scared No time to be scared If you blink, you get left right there No time to be scared No time to be scared I move like I already survived that air [Verse 2] Front porch sagging, summer heat thick Mama in the kitchen with the pan and the grit Little cousin outside with a pack of dreams Big mouth, fast feet, and a head full of schemes Cash in a sock and a key on a chain Same block stories with a different name I don’t do slick talk, I don’t do hype I do one move clean, then I cut the night Say my name wrong, you gon’ learn it loud I’m the one they watch when I come through the crowd My whole chest cold but my pulse stay on I been on that edge since the school bell gone [Pre-Chorus] Hands up, now don’t get brave One step close and the whole thing change I been through it, I been through pain Still walk like I own this lane [Chorus] No time to be scared No time to be scared If you blink, you get left right there No time to be scared No time to be scared I move like I already survived that air [Bridge] I seen panic turn kings to dust Seen loudmouth pride turn weak and crust So I keep that stare, keep that stride Keep my whole life sharp on the inside [Chorus] No time to be scared No time to be scared If you blink, you get left right there No time to be scared No time to be scared I move like I already survived that air
