Not Afraid - Eminem
I'm not afraid to take a stand
Everybody come take my hand I guess
We'll walk this road together' through the storm
Whatever weather' cold or warm
Just let you know that' you're not alone
Hola if you feel that you've been down the same road
You can try and read my lyrics off of this paper before I lay 'em
But you won't take this thing out these words before I say 'em
Cause ain't no way I'm let you stop me from causing mayhem
When I say 'em or do something I do it' I don't give a damn
What you think' I'm doing this for me' so fuck the world
Feed it beans' it's gassed up' if a thing's stopping me
I'mma be what I set out to be' without a doubt undoubtedly
And all those who look down on me I'm tearing 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 shit and
Whether he's on salary' paid hourly
Until he bows out or he shit's 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 universe
I'm not afraid to take a stand
Everybody come take my hand
We'll walk this road together' through the storm
Whatever weather' cold or warm
Just let you know that' you're not alone
Holla if you feel that you've been down the same road
Ok 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 getting crowned you're getting 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 “ehhhh”
Perhaps I ran them accents into the ground
Relax' I ain't going back to that now
All I'm tryna say is get back' click-clack BLAOW
Cause I ain't playin' around
There'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 tryna figure this crap out
Thought I had it mapped out but I guess I didn't
This fucking black cloud's still follow's me around
But it's time to exercise these demons
These motherfuckers are doing jumping jacks now!
I'm not afraid to take a stand
Everybody come take my hand
We'll walk this road together' through the storm
Whatever weather' cold or warm
Just let you know that' you're not alone
Holla if you feel that 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' Imma face my demons
I'm manning up' Imma hold my ground
I've had enough' now I'm so fed up
Time to put my life back together right 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 even realise what you did' believe me you
I been through the ringer' but they can 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 beef flingers' no more drama from now on' I promise
To focus soley on handling my responsibility's 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 lonely
Cause the way I feel' I'm strong enough to go to the club
Put a ??? and lift the whole liquor counter up
Cause I'm raising the bar' I shoot for the moon
But I'm too busy gazing at stars' I feel amazing and
I'm not afraid to take a stand
Everybody come take my hand
We'll walk this road together' through the storm
Whatever weather' cold or warm
Just let you know that' you're not alone
Holla if you feel that you've been down the same road
《Not Afraid》是一支令人振奮的單曲。歌詞反映了埃米納姆從曾經經歷過的低谷中爬出來的積極改變。歌詞用詞從細節來看,表達的是一種開放的心態,尤其在副歌部分,描寫自己已經走出低谷的狀態,並願意幫助其他還在煎熬的人。這是這位天王成熟的心態和更包容胸懷的體現 。
《Not Afraid》在充滿戲劇張力的節奏中展現了埃米納姆嘻哈風格。《Not Afraid》想傳達的那種不懼風暴,無論嚴寒酷暑,要記住走上音樂之路都不會孤身一人,用音樂帶給別人信心的心情 。
MV於2010年6月7日發佈。理查德·李擔任導演。
MV開頭,埃米納姆站在紐約曼哈頓市政大樓的樓頂鳥瞰城市,之後又轉入一個地下室,於是鏡頭就在這兩個地點之間轉換。第一段之後,埃米納姆走在街上,穿越了來往不停的車輛,發現越走出現了越多的鏡子,他迷失了方向,最後他衝破了鏡子“逃脱”了出去,同時地下室的一堵牆也被埃米納姆打破。在街的前方,埃米納姆發現路已經變成一個巨大的坑,如同末日,埃米納姆跳了下去,突然他飛起來了,最後以超人的速度飛到了曼哈頓市政大樓的樓頂 。
