Story Behind The Song

Lyrics
INTRO: Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh
VERSE 1: (Rap)
I?m afraid but why am I so afraid
Why can?t I just let go
Act on what destiny holds
She?s waiting, I hope patiently praying
I?ll not lose my control
I make dreams realities
I?d die if I stopped this
I?d never feel complete
I?d let myself down and
Destiny would weep her tears
?You let go, your dreams shattered and you were so close?
I?d hear her say that to me day after day for eternity
VERSE 2:
Is failure the only thing stopping me from living the dream
Letting myself get caught up in everyone?s elses fears
At least I have a dream
At least I have a goal
I know I?ll never be happy
And either will my soul
So how can I let a little word like failure hold me back
How can 7 little letters threaten me just like that
And all the little fears that play with my head
They try to attack me through all of my weaknesses
CHORUS: (Sung)
I fear all the jeering
Eyes at me peering
Screaming ?I told you? so?s
And ?This wasn?t meant to be?
I fear everyday
They sit down and they pray
I wake up one morning soon want to change for the slow lane (x2)
Break 4 bars
VERSE 3:
They try to attack me when I?m feeling too weak
So I can?t hit back, all I do is retract
I push three steps forward, you push me three back
Come on push me again
Harder, I ain?t feeling that
I think fear you should start watching your back
Cause I?ve been working out and building my strength and pre-attack
I?m making myself strong
My mind and soul work as one
My voice is my power as I slice through you do what I must
I feel the clock tick ticking
I feel my heart?s beat increasing
Only a matter of time,
Only a matter of time
Fear
I ain?t fearing you no more
CHORUS
MIDDLE 8:
Adlibs and break for 8 bars
