Lamar - Afraid Lyrics

Once I was afraid of the dark
Now I'm just simply scared
I'm I not dark enough
Even though deep inside I have the deepest pride
In melanin skin
I am black I am men
I am afraid
I am afraid if they see me with the difference
The yin yang
When the dark meets light
When a man
A black man steps outside
Will he be crucified
Why should I
Especially when in it was hard for me
To sift through the maybes
And No's
You ain't ill enough for me
Where do you you expect me to go
All I want is love
All a man
A good man wants is love
But I'm afraid
Afraid of being broken in half
Telling me I'm not black enough
I look just like you
I can only when it's convenient for you
I'm afraid
That's why I've always said love whenever
You're ready
Because I don't want hate
