Not Afraid Lyrics – Eminem
[Chorus/Collision]
I’m not afraid (I’m not afraid)
Yeah
To take a stand (To take a stand)
It’s been a ride
Everybody (Everybody)
I guess I had to
Come take my hand (Come take my hand)
Go to that place to get to this one
We’ll walk this road together, through the storm
Now some of you
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Might still be in that place
Just lettin’ you know that you’re not alone
If you’re tryna get out
Holla if you feel like you’ve been down the same road
Just follow me, I’ll get you there
[Verse 1]
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 causin’ mayhem
When I say I’ma do somethin’, I do it, I don’t give a damn what you think
I’m doin’ this for me, so fuck the world
Feed it beans, it’s gassed up if it thinks it’s stoppin’ me
I’ma be what I set out to be, without a doubt, undoubtably
And all those who look down on me, I’m tearin’ 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 shittin’ 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]
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 lettin’ you know that you’re not alone
Holla if you feel like you’ve been down the same road
[Verse 2]
Okay, quit playin’ with the scissors and shit, and cut the crap
I shouldn’t have to rhyme these words in a rhythm for you to know it’s a wrap
You said you was king, you lied through your teeth
For that, fuck your feelings
Instead of gettin’ crowned, you’re gettin’ 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 “ehh”
Perhaps I ran them accents into the ground
Relax, I ain’t goin’ back to that now
All I’m tryna say is get back, click-clack-blaow!
‘Cause I ain’t playin’ around
There’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 tryna figure this crap out
Thought I had it mapped out
But I guess I didn’t, this fuckin’ black cloud still follows me around
But it’s time to exorcise these demons
These ma’fuckers are doin’ jumpin’ jacks now
[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 lettin’ you know that you’re not alone
Holla if you feel like you’ve been down the same road
[Bridge]
And I just can’t keep livin’ this way
So startin’ today
I’m breakin’ out of this cage
I’m standin’ up, I’ma face my demons
I’m mannin’ 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
[Verse 3]
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’ve been through the wringer
But they can 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 handlin’ 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 raisin’ the bar
I’d shoot for the moon, but I’m too busy gazin’ at stars
I feel amazin’, and I’m—
[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 lettin’ you know that you’re not alone
Holla if you feel like you’ve been down the same road
