Im not afraid, Im not afraid (yeah)
To take a stand, its 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 youre tryin to get out
Just follow me
Ill get you there
You can try and read my lyrics off of this paper before I lay em
But you wont take the sting out these words before I say em
Cause aint no way Im a let you stop me from causin mayhem
When I say Im a do somethin I do it
I dont give a damn what you think
Im doin this for me, so fuck the world, feed it beans
Its gassed up, if it thinks its stoppin me
Imma be what I set out to be, without a doubt undoubtedly
And all those who look down on me, Im tearin down your balcony
No if, ands or buts, dont try to ask him why or how can he
From "Infinite" down to the last "Relapse" album hes still shittin
Whether hes on salary, paid hourly, until he bows out or he shits his bowels out of him
Whichever comes first, for better or worse
Hes married to the game, like a fuck you for Christmas
His gift is a curse, forget the Earth, hes got the urge to pull his dick from the dirt
And fuck the whole universe
Im not afraid (Im not afraid)
To take a stand (to take a stand)
Everybody (everybody)
Come take my hand come (come take my hand)
Well walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just letting you know that, youre not alone
Holla if you feel like youve been down the same road
Okay quit playin with the scissors and shit, and cut the crap
I shouldnt have to rhyme these words in the rhythm for you to know its a rap
You said you was king
You lied through your teeth, for that fuck your feelings
Instead of gettin crowned youre gettin capped, and to the fans
Ill never let you down again, Im back
I promise to never go back on that promise
In fact, lets be honest, that last "Relapse" CD was eh
Perhaps I ran them accents into the ground
Relax, I aint goin back to that now
All Im tryin to say is get back, click-clack, blow cause I aint playin around
Its a game called circle and I dont know how
Im way too up to back down
But I think Im still tryin to figure this crap out
Thought I had it mapped out but I guess I didnt, this fuckin black cloud
Still follows me around but its time to exercise these demons
These muhfuckers are doin jumpin jacks now
Im not afraid (Im not afraid)
To take a stand (to take a stand)
Everybody (everybody)
Come take my hand come (come take my hand)
Well walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just letting you know that, youre not alone
Holla if you feel like youve been down the same road
And I just cant keep living this way
So starting today
Im breaking out of this cage
Im standing up, Imma face my demons
Im manning up, Imma hold my ground
Ive had enough, now Im 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 dont 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 couldnt lift a single shingle on it, cause the way I feel
Im strong enough to go to the club or the corner pub
And lift the whole liquor counter up cause Im raising the bar
Id shoot for the moon but Im too busy gazin at stars, I feel amazing and Im not
Im not afraid (Im not afraid)
To take a stand (to take a stand)
Everybody (Everybody)
Come take my hand come (Come take my hand)
Well walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just letting you know that, youre not alone
Holla if you feel like youve been down the same road
