This fool throws wet stones at me, insists on attempts to break my nerve  But I hate to respond to the anger and feed the fuel in those ugly words  They ask me why I say nothing at all, like I don't have any self-respect  I say "Gentleman, I'm like incense. The more you burn me, the more I'm fragrant"    Chorus: And I don't feel the need to act violently, and I don't feel desire to fan the fire  You can say what you want about me, but I lace the lines of these times  With generous peace    There's a thin line between virtue and fear, and it's funny how they appear  Both demanding restraint and control and it's enough that I know it's clear  That I'm not scared of you; I'm scared of me, and I live by controlling my fool  'Cause you're a fool enough for the both of us, but I still try to find the good in you    Chorus    I know it's hard to listen to the words you just can't stand  It's gonna more than a fist to enlighten an ignorant man  And don't you see how we fear the patient eyes of a lion?  And don't you how we fear those lions in their silence?    Chorus    these lyrics are submitted by Samir R.
