Not Afraid

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'ma let you stop me from causing mayhem
When I say I'ma 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'ma be what I set out to be without a doubt, undoubtedly
And all those who look down at me, I'm tearing 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 shitting whether he's on salary, paid hourly
Until he bows out or these shits just 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 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
Holler if you feel like you've been down the same road

Okay, quit playing 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 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 eh, perhaps
I'll run 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, blaow
'Cause I ain't playing 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 ma'fuckers are doing jumping 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 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
Holler 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'ma face my demons
I'm manning 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

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 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'd shoot for the moon
But I'm too busy gazing at stars, I feel amazing enough

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
Holler if you feel like you've been down the same road
