Jidenna – Pretty & Afraid lyrics

[Intro]
I don't wanna have no more regrets
This is as good as it's gonna get
I'm in a sunken place, I'm in a, in a hole
I need an X-box here or I'll be all alone

[Pre-Chorus]
Redneck paddy-whack men are off home
And they wanna shoot you on the next hot phone
Yeah you better pass that, smokin' alone
Actin' like a rapper, better watch your tone
Everybody wants a life to be like me
While I'm busy being anybody but me
Candyman, the candyman is so misunderstood
Running from the siren and he running from the hood
Who you pray for? Who you pray for? Yeah
Who you pray for? Who you pray for? Yeah
Hey, hey

[Chorus]
Yes, I will do, I will do, I will do whatever it takes
To avoid my ultimate fate
Pretty afraid
I'm pretty and afraid
Pretty afraid
I'll do whatever it takes
Yes, I will do
I don't wanna have no more regrets
This is as good as it's gonna get
Life is as hard as it comes to death
Oh baby mama, I hope you rest

[Pre-Chorus]
Redneck paddy-whack men are off home
And they wanna shoot you on the next hot phone
Kids are gettin' laughed at, damn, they're all alone
Actin' like a rapper, better watch your tone
Everybody wants a life to be like me
While I'm busy being anybody but me
Candyman, the candyman is so misunderstood
Runnin' in the wilderness and runnin' in the wood
Who you pray for? Who you pray for? Yeah
Who you pray for? Who you pray for? Yeah
Hey, hey

[Chorus]
Yes, I will do, I will do, I will do whatever it takes
To avoid my ultimate fate
Pretty afraid
I'm pretty and afraid
Pretty afraid
I'll do whatever it takes
Yes, I will do, I will do, I will do whatever it takes
To avoid my ultimate fate
Pretty afraid
I'm pretty and afraid
Pretty afraid

[Outro]
All I want is the way you look at others to be like the way you look at me
All I want is the way you look at others to be like the way you look at me
All I want, all
