Not Afraid
Rhythms Del Mundo Lyrics

I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid (yeah)
I have no fear, I have no fear. I am unafraid and resolute in my convictions.

To take a stand, it's been a ride
To stand up for what I believe in, even though the journey has been tumultuous.

Everybody, I guess I had to
Everyone, I suppose I had to face challenges and obstacles.

Go to that place
Venture into that dark and difficult place within myself.

To get to this one
In order to reach this point of strength and resilience.

Now some of you
Now, some of you listeners.

Might still be in that place
May still be in that same challenging place.

If you're tryin' to get out
If you're striving to escape from it.

Just follow me
Simply follow my lead.

I'll get you there
I will guide you to a better place.

You can try and read my lyrics off of this paper before I lay 'em
You can attempt to decipher the meaning of my words before I articulate them.

But you won't take the sting out these words before I say 'em
Yet, you cannot mitigate the impact of these powerful words before I speak them.

'Cause ain't no way I'ma let you stop me from causin' mayhem
Because there is absolutely no possibility that you will hinder me from creating chaos.

When I say I'ma do somethin' I do it
When I declare my intentions, I wholeheartedly follow through with them.

I don't give a damn what you think
I am utterly unconcerned about your opinion.

I'm doin' this for me, so fuck the world, feed it beans
I am pursuing my passions for my own sake, disregarding societal expectations and norms.

It's gassed up, if it thinks it's stoppin' me
If anyone believes they can hinder my progress, they are greatly mistaken.

I'mma be what I set out to be, without a doubt undoubtedly
I will become the person I have always aimed to be, without any reservations.

And all those who look down on me, I'm tearin' down your balcony
I am dismantling the pedestals from which others judge and belittle me.

No if, ands or buts, don't try to ask him why or how can he
There are no exceptions or justifications, so don't inquire about my motivations or capabilities.

From 'Infinite' down to the last 'Relapse' album he's still shittin'
From my earliest works to my most recent album 'Relapse', I continue to excel.

Whether he's on salary, paid hourly, until he bows out or he shits his bowels out of him
Whether I am compensated by a fixed income or an hourly wage, I will persist and leave a lasting impact until my last breath.

Whichever comes first, for better or worse
Whichever occurrence happens earliest, whether in favorable or unfavorable circumstances.

He's married to the game, like a fuck you for Christmas
I am deeply committed to my craft, as if it were a sarcastic holiday gift to my detractors.

His gift is a curse, forget the Earth, he's got the urge to pull his dick from the dirt
His talent, although a blessing, is burdensome. The artist desires to elevate himself and leave his struggles behind.

And fuck the whole universe
And disregard the judgement and opinions of the entire cosmos.

Okay quit playin' with the scissors and shit, and cut the crap
Stop fooling around and engaging in dangerous activities, and put an end to the nonsense.

I shouldn't have to rhyme these words in the rhythm for you to know it's a rap
I don't need to use clever wordplay and cadence for you to understand that I have accomplished my objectives.

You said you was king
You claimed to be the ruler.

You lied through your teeth, for that fuck your feelings
You lied blatantly, and as a consequence, disregard your emotions.

Instead of gettin' crowned you're gettin' capped, and to the fans
Rather than receiving praise, you are being humiliated and exposed. This message is directed at the fans.

I'll never let you down again, I'm back
I assure you that I will not disappoint you again. I have returned.

I promise to never go back on that promise
I vow to always uphold this commitment.

In fact, let's be honest, that last 'Relapse' CD was eh
To tell the truth, the previous 'Relapse' album was mediocre.

Perhaps I ran them accents into the ground
Maybe I overused those accents excessively.

Relax, I ain't goin' back to that now
Relax, I have no intention of returning to that style at present.

All I'm tryin' to say is get back, click-clack, blow 'cause I ain't playin' around
What I'm trying to convey is to retreat, be cautious, or face the consequences, as I am not joking.

It's a game called circle and I don't know how
It's like a circular game, and I'm unsure of the rules.

I'm way too up to back down
I am far too determined and motivated to retreat.

But I think I'm still tryin' to figure this crap out
However, I believe I am still trying to comprehend and navigate this confusing situation.

Thought I had it mapped out but I guess I didn't, this fuckin' black cloud
I believed I had a clear plan, but it seems I was mistaken. This overwhelming feeling of darkness and negativity.

Still follows me around but it's time to exercise these demons
Nevertheless, these negative influences continue to haunt me, but it is time to confront and overcome them.

These muh'fuckers are doin' jumpin' jacks now
These adversaries are now trying to impress and intimidate me, but their efforts are futile.

And I just can't keep living this way
I simply cannot continue to exist in this manner.

So starting today
Therefore, beginning from this moment.

I'm breaking out of this cage
I am liberating myself from this confining prison.

I'm standing up, I'mma face my demons
I am taking a stand and bravely confronting my inner demons.

I'm manning up, I'mma hold my ground
I am assuming responsibility and maintaining my position firmly.

I've had enough, now I'm so fed up
I have reached my limit, and now I am extremely frustrated.

Time to put my life back together right now (now)
It is time to reconstruct my life immediately and without delay.

It was my decision to get clean, I did it for me
I chose to overcome my vices and achieve sobriety, primarily for my own benefit.

Admittedly, I probably did it subliminally
Interestingly enough, I likely pursued it on a subconscious level.

For you, so I could come back a brand new me, you helped see me through
For you, so that I could return as a completely transformed individual. You were instrumental in assisting me during this process.

And don't realize what you did, believe me you
You may not fully comprehend the impact of your actions, but trust me, you played a significant role.

I been through the ringer, but they could do little to the middle finger
I have endured countless hardships, yet they have had minimal effect on my resilience and defiance.

I think I got a tear in my eye, I feel like the king of
I think I might be shedding a tear, as I feel a sense of triumph and domination.

My world, haters can make like bees with no stingers and drop dead
This is my domain, and those who oppose me should perish like defenseless bees.

No more bee flingers, no more drama from now on
No more throwing themselves fruitlessly at me like bees, and no further conflicts or disturbances henceforth.

I promise to focus solely on handlin' my responsibilities as a father
I vow to concentrate completely on fulfilling my obligations as a parent.

So I solemnly swear to always treat this roof, like my daughters and raise it
Therefore, I make a solemn oath to regard this industry with the same reverence and care as I would my own children, and nurture it.

You couldn't lift a single shingle on it, 'cause the way I feel
You would not be able to make the slightest impact on it, due to the overwhelming emotions I currently experience.

I'm strong enough to go to the club or the corner pub
I possess the fortitude to visit social establishments such as nightclubs or neighborhood bars.

And lift the whole liquor counter up 'cause I'm raising the bar
Moreover, I can even physically lift the entire counter of alcoholic beverages, metaphorically indicating that I am elevating the standards and expectations.

I'd shoot for the moon but I'm too busy gazin' at stars, I feel amazing and I'm not
Although I should aim for the highest aspirations, I am currently preoccupied with admiring the brilliance of distant stars. Nevertheless, I feel incredible and unwavering.

Not afraid (I'm not afraid)
I am unafraid.

To take a stand (to take a stand)
To assert my beliefs and principles.

Everybody (everybody)
Everyone, all individuals.

Come take my hand come (come take my hand)
Take my hand, join me in this journey.

We'll walk this road together, through the storm
We will progress along this path united, even in the face of adversity.

Whatever weather, cold or warm
No matter what the conditions, whether harsh or pleasant.

Just letting you know that, you're not alone
I want to assure you that you are not alone in your struggles.

Holla if you feel like you've been down the same road
Call out if you can relate to having traversed a similar path.
