| [00:00.63] |
Feels like a close, it’s coming to |
| [00:04.08] |
Fuck am I gonna do? / It's too late to start over |
| [00:11.72] |
This is the only thing I, thing I know |
| [00:14.12] |
|
| [00:14.29] |
Sometimes I feel like all I ever do is |
| [00:16.24] |
Find different ways to word the same, old song |
| [00:18.25] |
Ever since I came along |
| [00:19.65] |
From the day the song called ‘’Hi! My Name Is’’ dropped |
| [00:21.80] |
Started thinking my name was fall |
| [00:23.71] |
Cause anytime things went wrong |
| [00:25.14] |
I was the one who they would blame it on |
| [00:26.88] |
The media made me the equivalent of a modern-day Genghis Kahn |
| [00:30.48] |
Tried to argue it was only entertainment, dawg |
| [00:32.87] |
Gangsta? Naw, courageous balls |
| [00:34.74] |
Had to change my style, they said I'm way too soft |
| [00:37.36] |
And I sound like AZ and Nas, out came the claws |
| [00:39.63] |
And the thing’s been out since then |
| [00:41.96] |
But up until the instant that I’ve been against it |
| [00:43.56] |
It was ingrained in me that I wouldn’t amount to a shitstain I thought |
| [00:46.49] |
No wonder I had to unlearn everything that my brain was taught |
| [00:49.16] |
Do I really belong in this game? I pondered |
| [00:50.93] |
I just wanna play my part, should I make waves or not? |
| [00:53.31] |
So back and forth in my brain the tug of war wages on |
| [00:55.96] |
And I don’t wanna seem ungrateful or disrespect the artform I was raised upon |
| [00:59.49] |
But sometimes you gotta take a loss |
| [01:00.94] |
And have people rub it in your face before you can get made pissed off |
| [01:04.16] |
And keep pluggin’, it’s your only outlet |
| [01:05.97] |
And your only outfit, so you know they gonna talk about it |
| [01:08.25] |
Better find a way to counter it quick and make it, ah |
| [01:11.41] |
Feel like I’ve already said this a kabillion eighty times |
| [01:14.06] |
How many times can I say the same thing different ways that rhyme? |
| [01:16.83] |
What I really wanna say is, is there anyone else who can relate to my story? |
| [01:19.82] |
Bet you feel the same way I felt when I was in the same place you are, when I was afraid to… |
| [01:22.96] |
|
| [01:24.14] |
Afraid to make a single sound |
| [01:27.48] |
Afraid I will never find a way out, out, out |
| [01:31.01] |
Afraid I never before |
| [01:34.39] |
I didn’t wanna go another round |
| [01:37.74] |
An angry mans power will shut you up |
| [01:41.18] |
Trip wires in this house will cut our love |
| [01:44.65] |
Run out of excuses with every word |
| [01:48.07] |
So here I am and I will not run |
| [01:53.41] |
Guts over fear, the time is here |
| [02:00.16] |
Guts over fear, I shall not tear |
| [02:06.92] |
For all the times I let you push me around and push me down |
| [02:13.61] |
Guts over fear, guts over fear |
| [02:18.00] |
|
| [02:19.61] |
Feels like a close, it’s coming to |
| [02:22.84] |
Fuck am I gonna do? / It's too late to start over |
| [02:30.59] |
This is the only thing I, thing I know |
| [02:33.22] |
|
| [02:33.44] |
It’s like I was there once, single parents |
| [02:35.85] |
Hate your appearance, did you struggle to find your place in this world? |
| [02:38.81] |
And the pain spawns all the anger on |
| [02:40.58] |
But it wasn’t until I put the pain in songs learned who to aim it on |
| [02:43.88] |
That I made a spark, started to spit hard as shit |
| [02:45.71] |
Learned how to harness it while the reins were off |
| [02:48.63] |
And there was a lot of bizarre shit, but the crazy part |
| [02:50.74] |
Was soon as I stopped saying "I gave a fuck" |
| [02:52.28] |
Haters started to appreciate my art |
| [02:54.71] |
And it just breaks my heart to look at all the pain I’ve caused |
| [02:57.12] |
But what am I gonna do when the rage is gone? |
| [02:58.69] |
The lights go out in the trailer park |
| [03:00.85] |
And the window that was closing and there’s nowhere else I can go with flows in |
| [03:03.54] |
And I’m frozen cause there’s no more emotion for me to pull from |
| [03:05.83] |
Just a bunch of playful songs that I make for fun |
| [03:08.47] |
So to the break of dawn here I go recycling the same old song |
| [03:11.53] |
But I’d rather make “Not Afraid 2” than another make mothafuckin’ “We Made You” uh |
| [03:14.88] |
Now I don’t wanna seem indulgent when I discuss my lows and my highs |
| [03:18.12] |
My demise and my uprise, pray to God |
| [03:19.82] |
I just opened enough eyes later on |
| [03:21.77] |
Gave you the supplies and the tools to hopefully use it to make you strong |
| [03:24.94] |
And enough to lift yourself up when you feel like I felt |
| [03:27.14] |
Cause I can’t explain to y’all how dang exhausted my legs felt |
| [03:30.00] |
Just having to balance my damn self |
| [03:31.71] |
Those dang eggshells, I was made to walk |
| [03:33.59] |
But thank you ma, ‘cause that gave me the |
| [03:35.23] |
Strength to cause Shady-mania, so many empty that stadium |
| [03:38.50] |
At least I made it out of that house and a found a place in this world when the day was done |
| [03:42.12] |
So this is for every kid who all’s they ever did was dreamt that one day they would just get accepted |
| [03:45.67] |
I represent him or her, or anyone similar you are the reason that I made this song |
| [03:49.25] |
Everything you're scared to say don't be afraid to say no more |
| [03:52.39] |
From this day on forward, just let them a-holes talk |
| [03:54.74] |
Take it with a grain of salt and eat their fucking faces off |
| [03:58.92] |
The legend of the angry blonde lives on through you when I’m gone |
| [04:01.59] |
And to think I was... |
| [04:02.76] |
|
| [04:03.49] |
Afraid to make a single sound |
| [04:06.82] |
Afraid I will never find a way out, out, out |
| [04:10.32] |
Afraid I never before |
| [04:13.69] |
I didn’t wanna go another round |
| [04:17.19] |
An angry mans power will shut you up |
| [04:20.72] |
Trip wires in this house will cut our love |
| [04:24.02] |
Run out of excuses with every word |
| [04:27.51] |
So here I am and I will not run |
| [04:32.88] |
Guts over fear, the time is here |
| [04:39.43] |
Guts over fear, I shall not tear |
| [04:46.30] |
For all the times I let you push me around and push me down |
| [04:53.01] |
Guts over fear, guts over fear |
| [04:57.97] |
|
