[Eminem:]
|
Feels like a close, it's coming to
|
The fuck am I gonna do?
|
It's too late to start over,
|
This is the only thing I, thing I know
|
|
[Eminem:]
|
Sometimes I feel like all I ever do is
|
Find different ways to word the same, old song
|
Ever since I came along
|
From the day the song called "Hi! My Name Is" dropped
|
Started thinking my name was fall
|
Cause anytime things went wrong
|
I was the one who they would blame it on
|
The media made me the equivalent of a modern-day Genghis Kahn
|
Tried to argue it was only entertainment, dawg
|
Gangsta? Now, courageous balls
|
Had to change my style, they said I'm way too soft
|
And I sound like AZ and Nas, out came the claws
|
And the thing's been out since then
|
But up until the instant that I've been against it
|
It was ingrained in me that I wouldn't amount to a shit stain I thought
|
No wonder I had to unlearn everything that my brain was taught
|
Do I really belong in this game? I pondered
|
I just wanna play my part, should I make waves or not?
|
So back and forth in my brain the tug of war wages on
|
And I don't wanna seem ungrateful or disrespect the art form I was raised upon
|
But sometimes you gotta take a loss
|
And have people rub it in your face before you can get made pissed off
|
And keep pluggin', it's your only outlet
|
And your only outfit, so you know they gonna talk about it
|
Better find a way to counter it quick and make it, ah
|
Feel like I've already said this a kabillion eighty times
|
How many times can I say the same thing different ways that rhyme?
|
What I really wanna say is, is there anyone else who can relate to my story?
|
Bet you feel the same way I felt when I was in the same place you are, when I was afraid to¡¦
|
|
[Hook: Sia]
|
Afraid to make a single sound
|
Afraid I will never find a way out, out, out
|
Afraid I never before
|
I didn't wanna go another round
|
An angry mans power will shut you up
|
Trip wires in this house will cut our love
|
Run out of excuses with every word
|
So here I am & I will not run
|
GUTS OVER FEAR
|
(The time is here)
|
GUTS OVER FEAR
|
(I shall not tear)
|
For all the times I let you push me around,
|
and let you keep me down
|
GUTS OVER FEAR!
|
GUTS OVER FEAR!
|

[Verse 2: Eminem]
|
It's like I was there once, single parents
|
Hate your appearance; did you struggle to find your place in this world?
|
And the pain spawns all the anger on
|
But it wasn't until I put the pain in songs learned who to aim it on
|
That I made a spark, started to spit hard as shit
|
Learned how to harness it while the reins were off
|
And there was a lot of bizarre shit, but the crazy part
|
Was soon as I stopped saying "I gave a fuck"
|
Haters started to appreciate my art
|
And it just breaks my heart to look at all the pain I've caused
|
But what am I gonna do when the rage is gone?
|
The lights go out in the trailer park
|
And the window that was closing and there's nowhere else I can go with flows in
|
And I'm frozen cause there's no more emotion for me to pull from
|
Just a bunch of playful songs that I make for fun
|
So to the break of dawn here I go recycling the same old song
|
But I'd rather make "Not Afraid 2" than another make mothafuckin' "We Made You" uh
|
Now I don't wanna seem indulgent when I discuss my lows and my highs
|
My demise and my uprise, pray to God
|
I just opened enough eyes later on
|
Gave you the supplies and the tools to hopefully use it to make you strong
|
And enough to lift yourself up when you feel like I felt
|
'Cause I can't explain to y'all how dang exhausted my legs felt
|
Just having to balance my damn self
|
Those dang eggshells, I was made to walk
|
But thank you ma, 'cause that gave me the
|
Strength to cause Shady-mania, so many empty that stadium
|
At least I made it out of that house and a found a place in this world when the day was done
|
So this is for every kid who all's they ever did was dreamt that one day they would just get accepted
|
I represent him or her, or anyone similar,
|
You are the reason tha |
