Not Afraid [Explicit] – Eminem - Lyrics

Release Date - April 29,2010

Album - Recovery

I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid (Yeah)

To take a stand, It's been a ride

Everybody, 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 tryin' 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'm a let you stop me from causin' mayhem

When I say I'm a 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'm a 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 if 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

I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid)

To take a stand (To take a stand)

Everybody (Everybody)

Come take my hand come (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

Okay quit playin' 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 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 eh

Perhaps I ran them accents into the ground

Relax, I ain't goin' back to that now

All I'm tryin' 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 tryin' to 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 exercise these demons

These muh'fuckers are doin' jumpin' jacks now

I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid)

To take a stand (To take a stand)

Everybody (Everybody)

Come take my hand come (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 living this way

So starting today,

I'm breaking out of this cage

I'm standing up, I'm a face my demons

I'm manning up, I'm a 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 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 bee flingers, 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 raising the bar

I'd shoot for the moon but I'm too busy gazin' at stars, I feel amazing and I'm not

I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid)

To take a stand (To take a stand)

Everybody (Everybody)

Come take my hand come (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
