Not Afraid Lyrics - Eminem

 

[Chorus:]
I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid)
To take a stand (to take a stand)
Everybody (everybody)
Come take my hand (come take my hand)
We'll walk this road together , through the storm
Whatever weather , cold or warm
Just letting you know that you're not alone
Holler if you feel like you've been down the same road (same road)

[Intro (during Chorus):]
Yeah , it's been a ride
I guess I had to , go to that place , to get to this one
Now some of you , might still be in that place
If you're trying to get out , just follow me
I'll get you there

You can try and read my lyrics off of this paper before I lay 'em
But you won't take the sting out these words before I say 'em
Cause ain't no way I'ma let you stop me from causing mayhem
When I say I'ma do something I do it ,
I don't give a damn what you think ,
I'm doing this for me , so fuck the world
Feed it beans , it's gassed up , if it thinks it's stopping me
I'ma be what I set out to be , without a doubt undoubtedly
And all those who look down on me I'm tearing down your balcony
No ifs , ands or buts , don't try to ask him why or how can he
From "Infinite" down to the last "Relapse" album
He's still shitting , whether he's on salary paid hourly
Until he bows out or he shits his bowels out of him
Whichever comes first , for better or worse
He's married to the game , like a fuck you for Christmas
His gift is a curse , forget the Earth , he's got the urge
To pull his dick from the dirt , and fuck the whole universe

[Chorus]

Okay quit playing with the scissors and shit , and cut the crap
I shouldn't have to rhyme these words in the rhythm for you to know it's a rap
You said you was king , you lied through your teeth , for that
Fuck your fillings , instead of getting crowned you're getting capped
And to the fans , I'll never let you down again , I'm back
I promise to never go back on that promise , in fact
Let's be honest , that last "Relapse" CD was ehhh
Perhaps I ran them accents into the ground
Relax , I ain't going back to that now
All I'm trying to say is get back , click-clack , blow
Cause I ain't playing around
It's a game called circle and I don't know how , I'm way too up to back down
But I think I'm still trying to figure this crap out
Thought I had it mapped out but I guess I didn't , this fucking black cloud
Still follows me around but it's time to exorcise these demons
These motherfuckers are doing jumping jacks now!

[Chorus]

And I just can't keep living this way
So starting today , I'm breaking out of this cage
I'm standing up , I'ma face my demons
I'm manning up , I'ma hold my ground
I've had enough , now I'm so fed up
Time to put my life back together right now! (now)

It was my decision to get clean , I did it for me
Admittedly , I probably did it subliminally
For you , so I could come back a brand new me you helped see me through
And don't even realize what you did , 'cause believe me you
I been through the ringer , but they could do little to the middle finger
I think I got a tear in my eye , I feel like the king of
My world , haters can make like bees with no stingers
And drop dead , no more beef lingers
No more drama from now on , I promise
To focus solely on handling my responsibilities as a father
So I solemnly swear to always treat this roof , like my daughters
And raise it , you couldn't lift a single shingle on it!
Cause the way I feel , I'm strong enough to go to the club
Or the corner pub , and lift the whole liquor counter up
Cause I'm raising the bar
I'd shoot for the moon but I'm too busy gazing at stars
I feel amazing and I'm...

[Chorus].
