| [00:00.500] |
Feels like a close, it's coming to |
| [00:03.840] |
*********** am I gonna do? |
| [00:07.400] |
It's too late to start over |
| [00:11.510] |
This is the only thing I, thing I know |
| [00:14.320] |
Sometimes I feel like all I ever do is |
| [00:16.030] |
Find different ways to word the same old song |
| [00:18.210] |
Ever since I came along |
| [00:19.390] |
From the day the song called ''Hi! My Name Is''dropped |
| [00:21.580] |
Started thinking my name was fall |
| [00:23.460] |
Cause anytime things went wrong |
| [00:24.790] |
I was the one who they would blame it on |
| [00:26.520] |
The media made me the equivalent of a modern-day Genghis Kahn |
| [00:30.150] |
Tried to argue it was only entertainment, dawg |
| [00:32.570] |
Gangsta? Naw, courageous *********** |
| [00:34.160] |
Had to change my style, they said I'm way too soft |
| [00:37.060] |
And I sound like AZ and Nas, out came the claws |
| [00:39.280] |
And the thing's been out since then |
| [00:40.850] |
But up until the instant that I've been against it |
| [00:42.750] |
It was ingrained in me that I wouldn't amount to a ***********tstain I thought |
| [00:45.710] |
No wonder I had to unlearn everything that my brain was taught |
| [00:48.840] |
Do I really belong in this game? I pondered |
| [00:50.500] |
I just wanna play my part, should I make waves or not? |
| [00:52.980] |
So back and forth in my brain the tug of war wages on |
| [00:55.530] |
And I don't wanna seem ungrateful or disrespect the artform I was raised upon |
| [00:59.230] |
But sometimes you gotta take a loss |
| [01:00.670] |
And have people rub it in your face before you get made pissed off |
| [01:03.840] |
And keep pluggin', it's your only outlet |
| [01:05.530] |
And your only outfit, so you know they gonna talk about it |
| [01:07.930] |
Better find a way to counter it quick and make it, ah |
| [01:11.060] |
Feel like I've already said this a kabillion eighty times |
| [01:13.190] |
How many times can I say the same thing different ways that rhyme? |
| [01:16.570] |
What I really wanna say is, is there anyone else that can relate to my story? |
| [01:20.040] |
Bet you feel the same way I felt when I was in the same place you are, |
| [01:22.340] |
when I was afraid to… |
| [01:25.470] |
Afraid to make a single sound |
| [01:27.220] |
Afraid I will never find a way out, out, out |
| [01:30.670] |
Afraid I never before |
| [01:34.380] |
I didn't wanna go another round |
| [01:37.500] |
An angry man's power will shut you up |
| [01:41.010] |
Trip wires fill this house with tip-toe love |
| [01:44.460] |
Run out of excuses with every word |
| [01:47.790] |
So here I am and I will not run |
| [01:53.150] |
Guts over fear, the time is here |
| [02:00.000] |
Guts over fear, I shall not tear |
| [02:06.620] |
For all the times I let you push me around and push me down |
| [02:12.490] |
Guts over fear, guts over fear |
| [02:17.880] |
|
| [02:19.340] |
Feels like a close, it's coming to |
| [02:22.510] |
*********** am I gonna do? |
| [02:26.200] |
It's too late to start over |
| [02:30.340] |
This is the only thing I, thing I know |
| [02:33.370] |
It's like I was there once, single parents |
| [02:35.560] |
Hate your appearance, did you struggle to find your place in this world? |
| [02:38.520] |
And the pain spawns all the anger on |
| [02:40.180] |
But it wasn't until I put the pain in songs learned who to aim it on |
| [02:43.060] |
That I made a spark, started to spit hard as ***********t |
| [02:45.130] |
Learned how to harness it while the reins were off |
| [02:48.390] |
And there was a lot of bizarre ***********t, but the crazy part |
| [02:50.410] |
Was soon as I stopped saying "I gave a ***********" |
| [02:52.240] |
Haters started to appreciate my art |
| [02:54.400] |
And it just breaks my heart to look at all the pain I've caused |
| [02:56.940] |
But what am I gonna do when the rage is gone? |
| [02:58.600] |
The lights go out in the trailer park |
| [03:00.400] |
And the window that was closing and there's nowhere else I can go with flows in |
| [03:03.620] |
And I'm frozen cause there's no more emotion for me to pull from |
| [03:05.510] |
Just a bunch of playful songs that I made for fun |
| [03:08.010] |
So to the break of dawn here I go recycling the same old song |
| [03:11.460] |
But I'd rather make "Not Afraid 2" than another *********in' "We Made You" uh |
| [03:14.560] |
Now I don't wanna seem indulgent when I discuss my lows and my highs |
| [03:17.770] |
My demise and my uprise, pray to God |
| [03:19.630] |
I just opened enough eyes later on |
| [03:21.460] |
Gave you the supplies and the tools to hopefully use it to make you strong |
| [03:24.610] |
And enough to lift yourself up when you feel like I felt |
| [03:27.010] |
Cause I can't explain to y'all how dang exhausted my legs felt |
| [03:29.750] |
Just having to balance my damn self |
| [03:31.330] |
Those dang eggshells, I was made to walk |
| [03:33.310] |
But thank you ma, 'cause that gave me the |
| [03:34.920] |
Strength to cause Shady-mania, so many empty that stadium |
| [03:37.610] |
At least I made it out of that house and a found a place in this world when the day was done |
| [03:41.810] |
So this is for every kid who all's they ever did was dreamt that one day they would just get accepted |
| [03:45.240] |
I represent him or her, anyone similar, you are the reason I made this song |
| [03:49.610] |
Everything you're scared to say don't be afraid to say no more |
| [03:52.080] |
From this day on forward, just let them a-holes talk |
| [03:54.420] |
Take it with a grain of salt and eat their ********* faces off |
| [03:58.660] |
The legend of the angry blonde lives on through you when I'm gone |
| [04:01.190] |
And to think I was... |
| [04:03.630] |
Afraid to make a single sound |
| [04:06.620] |
Afraid I will never find a way out, out, out |
| [04:10.020] |
Afraid I never before |
| [04:11.770] |
I didn't wanna go another round |
| [04:16.850] |
An angry man's power will shut you up |
| [04:20.380] |
Trip wires fill this house with tip-toe love |
| [04:23.770] |
Run out of excuses with every word |
| [04:27.270] |
So here I am and I will not run |
| [04:32.510] |
Guts over fear, the time is here |
| [04:39.390] |
Guts over fear, I shall not tear |
| [04:46.020] |
For all the times I let you push me around and push me down |
| [04:51.880] |
Guts over fear, guts over fear |
