Lyrics Someone I Would Be Afraid of - Akira the Don, Joe Rogan

Someone I Would Be Afraid of

: We’re gonna go back to Boston
Okay
: Okay.
So you said that’s really where things started for you.
So you moved
there when you were 13. First of all, like what kind of kid were you in school?
If ADD is real, I certainly had it
And I was very, very interested in what I was interested in
I was very uninterested in people telling me what to do
Essentially couldn’t wait to get out of school
But I would excel at things that I had interest in
Initially, it was art.
I wanted to be a comic book illustrator, until I really
got into martial arts
Then martial arts became the focus of my life
Around 14, 15 years old, that’s when I really became massively obsessed
And it was really the first thing that I ever did where I really didn’t feel
like a loser
Like I really felt like, «Oh, I actually have some talent.
I actually can be
exceptional.»
It’s like something
Because you know I grew up constantly moving, didn’t really have a lot of
friends, I would be new in this town, I’d get picked on, I wasn’t a big kid
And there was a lot of issues with that psychologically
I didn’t like being afraid of other kids.
I didn’t like not knowing what to do
if I ran into a kid, and they were gonna bully me and pick on me
You know, martial arts changed that 180 degrees
And then I became someone
Who I would be afraid of
You know, I became the opposite of what I was
And then I became someone
Who I would be afraid of
You know, I became the opposite of what I was
