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 drink the sting out these words before I say 'em
Coz 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 and 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 on me, I'm tearing down your balcony
And all we fans are busting trying to ask him why or how can he
From infinite down to the last Relapse album he's still shitting
And whether it's on salary, paid hourly
Until he bows out or 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 take my hand)
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever the weather, cold or warm
Just let me know that you're not alone
Holler if you feel like you've been down the same road

Okay, quit playing with your feelings, 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
But that fucked 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
And perhaps I ran 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, pow
Coz I ain't playing around, there's a game called sucker
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 (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 the weather, cold or warm
Just let me 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 man enough, 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 realise what you did, 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 a king of
My world, haters can make like bees with no stingers
And drop dead, no more beef flingers
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 the
Truth like my daughters and raise it
You couldn't lift a single shingle on it
Coz the way I feel, I'm strong enough to go to the club
Put a corner bar and lift the whole liquor counter up
Coz I'm raising the bar, I'd shoot for the moon
But I'm too busy gazing at stars, I feel amazing and I'm not afraid

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 the weather, cold or warm
Just let me know that you're not alone
Holler if you feel like you've been down the same road
