hello fear.

Kirk Franklin's album is amazing, very inspirational and heartfelt like always. I've been listening to it ever since I downloaded it. lol but the 2nd track is him saying this poem. Its called the story of fear.


I can't sing but I'm gonna work hard for you to like me

Didn't dream 'cuz if I fail then I might be

What they said I was could I ever say I did it

Tell yay now that I'm second to admit it

Insecure I can't understand the application

If I applied myself I guess there'd be no situation

But who teaches who when everyday's a substitute

I tried to plant love but it never took root

My soul's got weeds and the roots are too deep

The roots don't sail 'cuz the roots are too deep

Wait

ADDC my roots too deep

A kid too afraid to close his eyes and sleep

Can't you hear me studder everytime I speak

Fear said hello when she left me weak

Love me and left me with abandonment issues

Pains a secret but it illuminates in you then it creates a menu

But sin on your plate you don't know until later how much ever you ate

Now I'm watching my weight

Will this album be my best one?

But if it's not y'all on to the next one

So hello fear it's about time we speak

It may take a while cause our roots run deep
