Etta James - I Am Not Afraid

I see them coming after my soul, wanted to take control
Wanna give me locks, wanna give me bling
Wanna give me all the material things
I hear dem talking bout what the world has to offer, girl what you doing dont you see
What they have done to Bed-ward & Marcus, Jesus and all of the Profits

But I am not afraid
No I am not afraid
No I am not afraid
If dem a come let them come
'Cause I'm protected by the most I one

They don't mind when you fall behind and cant pay your bills on time
Prostituting and standing in their government line no
And they dont mind when you waste your time coming up with some stupid line
Influencing the youth dem fi start a line or take a life
And they dont mind when you locked up in jail can't get no bail sentence fi life
You can't see you youth dem strive but they dont mind

But I am not afraid
No I am not afraid
No I am not afraid
If dem a come let them come
'Cause I am protected by the most one Hey A, don't be foolish
Thinking they dont know your name

I see them coming after my soul, wanted to take control
Wanna give me locks, wanna give me bling
Wanna give me all the material things
I hear dem talking bout what the world has to offer, girl what you doing dont you see
What they have done to Bed-ward and Marcus, Jesus and all of the Profits

But I am not afraid
No I am not afraid
No I am not afraid
If dem a come let them come
'Cause I am protected by the most one

They don't mind when you fall behind and cant pay your bills on time
Prostituting and standing in their government line no
And they dont mind when you waste your time coming up with some stupid line
Influencing the youth dem fi start a line or take a life
And they dont mind when you locked up in jail can't get no bail sentence fi life
You can't see you youth dem strive but they don't mind
