Not Afraid
Eminem Lyrics


I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid (yeah)
To take a stand, it's been a ride
Everybody, 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 tryin' 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'm a let you stop me from causin' mayhem
When I say I'm a do somethin' I do it
I don't give a damn what you think
I'm doin' this for me, so fuck the world, feed it beans
It's gassed up, if it thinks it's stoppin' me
I'mma be what I set out to be, without a doubt undoubtedly
And all those who look down on me, I'm tearin' 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 shittin'
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 (I'm not afraid)
To take a stand (to take a stand)
Everybody (everybody)
Come take my hand come (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
Holla if you feel like you've been down the same road

Okay 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 gettin' crowned you're gettin' 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 ran them accents into the ground
Relax, I ain't goin' back to that now
All I'm tryin' to say is get back, click-clack, blow 'cause I ain't playin' around
It'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 tryin' to figure this crap out
Thought I had it mapped out but I guess I didn't, this fuckin' black cloud
Still follows me around but it's time to exercise these demons
These muh'fuckers are doin' jumpin' 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 (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
Holla 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'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 (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 realize what you did, believe me you
I been through the ringer, but they could 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 bee flingers, no more drama from now on
I promise to focus solely on handlin' 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 gazin' at stars, I feel amazing and I'm not

I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid)
To take a stand (to take a stand)
Everybody (Everybody)
Come take my hand come (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
Holla if you feel like you've been down the same road

On April 27, 2010, Eminem released a freestyle titled "Despicable" over "Over" by Drake and "Beamer, Benz, or Bentley" by Lloyd Banks as promo for the single.

In the song, described as "uplifting" by manager Paul Rosenberg, Eminem tells of how he has tried to overcome the troubles in his life from the past few years, mainly his drug addiction and rehabilitation. He also notes that he will no longer use the accent in the future right after saying how his last album, Relapse, wasn't as good compared to his previous albums. He promises he will never leave again and now only has his daughters and his music to focus on."

The song was featured on 24/7, showcasing the preparations of the Floyd Mayweather vs. Shane Mosley fight.

RAYA ASMR

Day 69 - Today I again watched "A Silent Voice" or "Koe no Katachi" . I can't seem to get this movie out of my head . I absolutely love it . What a mind blowingly brilliant and astonishing masterpiece ! I want to watch it again and again and again . We have our folk songs and folk dances . But I don't even know a single song and also can't do any folk dance . I should learn it and perform it with a beautiful partner someday. The state in which I live is beautiful . It has one of the most admirable looking places on this earth . And I have never visited those personally . Saw some pictures online . The thing is that my state has 12 districts and each district has it's own language. It's crazy like there is my mother tongue and then there are 12 different of these here . Our state is not very big. The upper state gets cut off during winters due to heavy snowfall . I live in the lower areas where it never snows . I remember a movie called KungFu Hustle . It was really entertaining . As of today , all the snacks are finished in my house. I want to meet Shoya and give him a hug . I can't describe in words how I felt when he regularly visited Shoko over that bridge . When he realised what Shoko was trying to tell back in 6th grade....it stirred something in my heart . He even thought of ending his life . He is a beautiful kid with a good heart . I want to again witness a movie like A Silent Voice . Can you suggest me something ? Sometimes it angers me when I am unable to receive a volleyball during a spike . It's easy to control anything with the help of your hands but using your fore arms make it even more harder. It hurts too .
Our actions are responsible for everything that happens to us. Nothing happens without a reason. Can you suggest me a movie which is very very emotional ? I want to become a better person but what should I change in my life for that to happen ? I can't seem to observe the faults in me. I fail to analyze my mistakes. I overeat a lot. I never sleep on time. I don't respect others or I can say I find myself unable to respect others. I am a liar. I hide from truth . I......wish that my life would have been different from what it is right now. I am a coward. I want to die but I don't have the courage . I hate myself . I can't even look myself in the mirror , i always fake laugh whenever I am in front of a mirror . I could never become a positive influence on anyone in my life. I failed as a son ,as a brother, as a friend, as a competitor, as a student and as a responsible human. I brought disgrace upon my family. I have become a problem for everyone around me . I never took action for bettering myself. Will anyone miss me when I'll be gone? I ask this to myself. Dying is easy , living is hard. If I could end my life right here right now I would happily do so . I am ugly in the heart. I am a useless person. I only exist to get hurt by the others. I gave my heart to others and all they did was crush it and tear it apart . Everyone is a liar. I should have never trusted anyone . I believe death will release me from the threads that are holding me caged. I daily tell myself that life is beautiful but where is that beauty? For the past 4 years there is never a night when I don't cry.
I was a loser. I am a loser and i will be a loser. I was alone with no friends my entire life . But a kid like me didn't know how to convey this pain deep inside my heart. I tried to get better at academics believing that this will change something . This was the only thing that helped me keep moving forward but now I am failing in academics too. How much sorrow can I take ? When you all will be gone ,I will get alone again. I feel miserbale . I should have never attached myself to things around me . I want to feel free again. I don't see a future for me now. What do I look upto in life ? I wanted stay with my granny but she died when I was away from home . Just when I made up my mind and when I realised to spend time with her God took her away from me . I tried to stay strong but 6 months later God took my nanny with him too. Why was I the only one whose grand parents died ? Almost all of my friends have their grandparents still with them. Just when I wanted to spend time with them , they died. About 3 years before my granny, I lost my elder sister . About 4 years before this , my younger brother died . Now my teacher , my mentor is sick . His wife died too.
I want to go far far far away. I don't want to look back and get sad again. Expectations always lead to disappointments. I no longer believe in God. I lost my hope . My whole existence is a sad tale . We humans wish for a happy life up to a certain point but when that hope is gone then we wish for a good death. Days are not the same as before . I have become a personification of everything that I hate in a person. A good death is its own reward- This is a true statement. Some people die a 1000 deaths while others only once . I am a below average human being trying to find solace here but everyday it appears that I deviate from the very thing that I want to achieve.
I always say that I will wait for you here and I want to hug you because no one never told me these words .I wish someone would hug me .
I am a stupid worthless piece of crap
I should drown myself. I was stupid . I am a donkey , an utter useless piece of wet socks and a disappointment in all senses . Only if I was more competitive, optimistic and loving . Now I witness everything changing around me and I stay still like a defeated loser wondering about the past . I wasted this life of mine. Only if I knew how to fight back , how to stand up against the bullies , how to think positively for myself and how to be a brave human , my life could have been something else. I am a greedy little punk who's too afraid to do anything. I ruined my life for others . Everything close to me gets taken away from me . Now my blood boils seeing others doing good in life while I mourn over the death of my life with utter disappointment and hopelessness. I deserve to be punched 100 times in my face . A few members of family have terminal sicknesses and they will probably live for only 5 to 6 more years . And I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. Am I supposed to see them fight till they die? I see no hope here . My younger siblings are too young to understand anything and elders have accepted this as a reality . Only if I could I have given hope to others! This is unfair man.
I wish I could go back to the old times and change everything . I would have made sure that my parents followed a healthy lifestyle. I would have spent a lot of time with my granny and nanny. I would have worked hard. I would have definitely worked hard to get a medal in any sports . Now everything is dying slowly. It feels bad.
I still want to believe in a happy ending to my sad life . I want to feel happy again. I want to live far far away and want to have a little family. I don't want to see people dear to me in pain. I want to give hope to others . Oh God if you are somewhere then please listen to me ! I want to believe again. I feel more worse now. I want to write this pain and emptiness away but I think there are not enough words for these to completely go away. We should never play with someone's heart.
Will I ever feel happy again?
Will I do better?
Will this misery end?
Will my parents be proud of me?
Will this sadness end?
Will there be a better tomorrow?
Will something good happen to me?
Will I find myself again?
Will I have happy memories again?
Will I find happiness again?
Will I start staying happy again?
Will I be able to protect the smiles of everyone around me?

Should I live ?
Or should I die ?
Am I a piece of crap that should cease to exist ?
I should die already . I don't deserve this life. But who will look after my family? I want to live but there's no reason left for me to live.
Was I a good human being to ever begin with ?
