Eminem - Not Afraid

[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.
Holla if you feel like you've been down same road. (same road)

[Intro (during Chorus):]
Yea, 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

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 undoubtedly
and all those who look down on me, I'm tearin' down your balcony
No ifs, ands or buts 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:]
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.
Holla if you feel like you've been down same road.

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 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 eeh,
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 playin' 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 clouds.
Still follows me around but it's time to exorcise these demons
These motherfuckers are doing 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 letting you know that, you're not alone.
Holla if you feel like you've been down the same road.

And I just can't keep livin' this way.
So starting today, I'm breaking 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.
So I 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, 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, wanna 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 raisin' the bar,
I'd shoot for the moon but I'm too busy gazin' at stars.
I feel amazing 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 letting you know that, you're not alone.
Holla if you feel like you've been down the same road.
