[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 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’d never be found[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 I let you keep 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 was closing and there's nowhere else that I can go with flows in[03:03.620]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 make 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]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]When on 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 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’d never be found[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
