-
Feels like a close, it's coming to
-
Fuck am I gonna do?
-
It's too late to start over
-
This is the only thing I, thing I know
-
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 fault
-
Cause any time things went wrong
-
I was the one who they would blame it on
-
The media made me the equivalent of a modern-day Genghis Khan
-
Tried to argue it was only entertainment, dawg
-
Gangsta? Naw, 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 fangs been out since then
-
But up until the instant that I've went against it
-
It was ingrained in me that I wouldn't amount to a shitstain I thought
-
No wonder I had to unlearn everything 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 artform I was raised upon
-
But sometimes you gotta take a loss
-
And have people rub it in your face before you 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 if there's anyone else that 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…
-
I was a...
-
Afraid to make a single sound
-
Afraid I will never find a way out
-
Afraid I'd never be found
-
I don't wanna go another round
-
An angry man's power will shut you up
-
Trip wires fill this house with tip-toed love
-
Run out of excuses for everyone
-
So here I am and I will not run
-
Guts over fear (the time is near)
-
Guts over fear (I shed a tear)
-
For all the times I let you push me around
-
And let you keep me down
-
Now I, got guts over fear, guts over fear
-
Feels like a close, it's coming to
-
Fuck am I gonna do?
-
It's too late to start over
-
This is the only thing I, thing I know
-
I know what 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?
-
And the lights go out in that trailer park?
-
And the window is closing and there's nowhere else that I can go with flows
-
And I'm frozen cause there's no more emotion for me to pull from
-
Just a bunch of playful songs that I made 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 make another motherfucking "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
-
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 dang self
-
When on eggshells I was made to walk
-
But thank you, ma, 'cause that gave me the
-
Strength to cause Shady-mania, So when they 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 of one day just getting accepted
-
I represent him or her, anyone similar, you are the reason that I made this song
-
And everything you're scared to say don't be afraid to say no more
-
From this day forward, just let them a-holes talk
-
Take it with a grain of salt and eat their fucking faces off
-
The legend of the angry blonde lives on through you when I'm gone
-
And to think I was... gone
-
I was a...
-
Afraid to make a single sound
-
Afraid I will never find a way o-o-out
-
Afraid I'd never be found
-
I don't wanna go another round
-
An angry man's power will shut you up
-
Trip wires fill this house with tip-toed love
-
Run out of excuses for everyone
-
So here I am and I will not run
-
Guts over fear (the time is near)
-
Guts over fear (I shed a tear)
-
For all the times I let you push me around
-
And let you keep me down
-
Now I got, guts over fear, guts over fear
