Not Afraid

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 lettin' you know that, you're not alone
Holler if you feel that you've been down the same road

Yeah, it's been a ride...
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 this thing out these words before I say 'em
'Cause ain't no way I'ma let you stop me from causin' mayhem
When I say I'ma 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'ma be what I set out to be, without a doubt undoubtedly
And all those who looked 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 to take a stand
Everybody, come take my hand
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just lettin' you know that, you're not alone
Holler 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 wrap
You said you was king, you lied through your teeth for that
Fuck your filling's, 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-BLOWW
'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 tryin' to figure this crap out
Thought I had it mapped out, but I guess I didn't
This fuckin' black cloud's still follows me around
But it's time to exorcise these demons
These motherfuckers are doin' jumpin' 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 lettin' you know that, you're not alone
Holler if you feel that you've been down the same road

And I just can't keep livin' this way,
So startin' today I'm breakin' out of this cage
I'm standin' up, I'ma face my demons
I'm mannin' up, I'ma hold my ground
I 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 realize what you did, 'cause believe me you
I've been through the wringer, 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 lingers, no more drama,
From now on, I promise to focus soley 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 raisin' the bar, I shoot for the moon,
But I'm too busy gazin' at stars, I feel amazin' and I'm not...

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 lettin' you know that, you're not alone
Holler if you feel that you've been down the same road
