Not Afraid

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I'm not afraid to take a stand

Everybody come take my hand

We'll walk this road together, through the storm

Whatever weather, cold or warm

Just let me know that you're not alone

Holla, if you feel that you've been down the same road

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'mma let you stop me from causing mayhem

When I say I'mma 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'mma be what I set out to be, without a doubt, undoubtably

And all those who look down on me, I'm tearing 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 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

I'm not afraid to take a stand

Everybody come take my hand

We'll walk this road together, through the storm

Whatever weather, cold or warm

Just let me know that, you're not alone

Holla, if you feel like you've been down the same road

Ok, 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 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 ehh

Perhaps I ran them accents into the ground

Relax, I ain't going back to that now

All I'm tryna say is get back, click-clack

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 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

I'm not afraid to take a stand

Everybody come take my hand

We'll walk this road together, through the storm

Whatever weather, cold or warm

Just let me know that, you're not alone

Holla, if you feel that 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'mma face my demons

I'm manning up, I'mma hold my ground

I've had enough, now I'm so fed up

Time to put my life back together right 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 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 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 shoot for the moon

But I'm too busy gazing at stars, I feel amazing and I'm not

I'm not afraid to take a stand

Everybody come take my hand

We'll walk this road together, through the storm

Whatever weather, cold or warm

Just let me know that, you're not alone

Holla, if you feel that you've been down the same road
