[00:00.82] Feels like a close, it's coming to [00:04.01] Fuck am I gonna do? [00:07.23] It's too late to start over [00:11.25] This is the only thing I, thing I know [00:14.00] Sometimes I feel like all I ever do is [00:16.02] Find different ways to word the same, old song [00:18.12] Ever since I came along [00:19.86] From the day the song called "Hi! My Name Is" dropped [00:21.82] Started thinking my name was fault [00:23.76] 'Cause anytime things went wrong [00:25.00] I was the one who they would blame it on [00:27.09] The media made me the, uh, equivalent of a modern-day Genghis Khan [00:30.15] Tried to argue it was only entertainment, dawg [00:32.89] Gangster? Nah, courageous balls [00:34.79] Had to change my style [00:36.45] They said I'm way too soft [00:37.64] And I sound like AZ and Nas, out came the claws [00:39.34] And the fangs been out since then [00:41.04] But up until the instant that I've went against it [00:43.14] It was ingrained in me that I wouldn't amount to a shitstain I thought [00:46.78] No wonder I had to unlearn everything my brain was taught [00:49.04] Do I really belong in this game? I pondered [00:50.91] I just wanna play my part, should I make waves or not? [00:53.07] So back and forth in my brain the tug of war wages on [00:55.92] And I don't wanna seem ungrateful [00:57.02] Or disrespect the artform I was raised upon [00:59.14] But sometimes you gotta take a loss [01:00.96] And have people rub it in your face before you get made pissed off [01:03.87] And keep pluggin', it's your only outlet [01:05.90] And your only outfit so you know they gonna talk about it [01:08.08] Better find a way to counter it quick and make it, ah [01:11.02] Feel like I've already said this a kabillion eighty times [01:13.92] How many times can I say the same thing different ways that rhyme? [01:16.88] What I really wanna say is [01:17.98] If there's anyone else that can relate to my story [01:20.60] Bet you feel the same way I felt [01:21.81] When I was in the same place you are, when I was afraid to... [01:23.16] I was a... [01:24.13] Afraid to make a single sound [01:27.26] Afraid I would never find a way out, out, out [01:30.92] Afraid I'd never be found [01:34.05] I didn't wanna go another round [01:37.95] An angry man's power will shut you up [01:41.18] Trip wires fill this house with tip-toe love [01:44.27] Run out of excuses with every word [01:48.06] So here I am and I will not run [01:53.17] Guts over fear [01:57.76] The time is near [02:00.02] Guts over fear [02:04.11] I shed a tear [02:06.85] For all the times I let you push me 'round [02:10.84] I let you keep me down [02:12.18] Now I got, guts over fear [02:15.95] Guts over fear [02:19.19] Feels like a close, it's coming to [02:22.83] Fuck am I gonna do? [02:26.19] It's too late to start over [02:30.14] This is the only thing I, thing I know [02:33.18] I know what it was like I was there once [02:35.05] Single parents, hate your appearance [02:36.84] Did you struggle to find your place in this world? [02:38.87] And the pain spawns all the anger on [02:40.27] But it wasn't until I put the pain in songs [02:42.16] Learned who to aim it on [02:43.17] That I made a spark, started to spit hard as shit [02:45.26] Learned how to harness it while the reins were off [02:48.55] And there was a lot of bizarre shit, but the crazy part [02:50.36] Was soon as I stopped saying, I gave a fuck [02:52.22] Haters started to appreciate my art [02:54.19] And it just breaks my heart to look at all the pain I've caused [02:57.03] But what am I gonna do when the rage is gone? [02:58.45] And the lights go out in that trailer park? [03:00.44] And the window is closing and there's nowhere else that I can go with flows [03:03.28] 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 [03:08.02] So, to the break of dawn here I go recycling the same, old song [03:11.14] But I'd rather make "Not Afraid 2" [03:12.80] Than make another motherfuckin' "We Made You", uh [03:14.48] Now, I don't wanna seem indulgent [03:16.17] When I discuss my lows and my highs [03:18.02] My demise and my uprise, pray to God [03:19.93] I just open enough eyes later on [03:21.32] And gave you the supplies and the tools [03:23.21] To hopefully use that'll make you strong [03:25.09] Enough to lift yourself up when you feel like I felt [03:27.01] 'Cause I can't explain to y'all how dang exhausted my legs felt [03:29.43] Just havin' to balance my dang self [03:31.87] When on eggshells, I was made to walk [03:33.25] But thank you, ma, 'cause that gave me the [03:35.12] Strength to cause Shady-mania, so when they empty that stadium [03:38.22] At least I made it out of that house [03:40.08] And a found a place in this world when the day was done [03:42.09] So this is for every kid who all's they ever did [03:43.90] Was dreamt of one day just getting accepted [03:45.33] I represent him or her, anyone similar [03:47.16] You are the reason that I made this song [03:49.36] And everything you're scared to say don't be afraid to say no more [03:52.19] From this day forward, just let them a-holes talk [03:54.72] Take it with a grain of salt and eat their fucking faces off [03:58.78] The legend of the angry blonde lives on through you when I'm gone [04:01.78] And to think I was a [04:02.66] I was a... [04:03.23] Afraid to make a single sound [04:06.83] Afraid I would never find a way out, out, out [04:10.14] Afraid I'd never be found [04:13.27] I didn't wanna go another round [04:17.05] An angry man's power will shut you up [04:20.39] Trip wires fill this house with tip-toe love [04:24.08] Run out of excuses with every word [04:27.33] So here I am and I will not run [04:32.37] Guts over fear [04:36.90] The time is near [04:39.37] Guts over fear [04:43.88] I shed a tear [04:46.11] For all the times I let you push me 'round [04:49.97] I let you keep me down [04:51.40] Now I got, guts over fear [04:55.15] Guts over fear [04:56.64]
