Feels like a close, it’s coming to
Fuck am I gonna do?
It`s too late to start over
This is the only thing I, thing I know

Sometimes I feel like all I ever do is
Find different ways
to word the same, old song
Ever since I came along
From the day the song called
‘’Hi! My Name Is’’ dropped
Started thinking my name was fault
Cause anytime things went wrong
I was the one who they would blame it on
The media made me
the equivalent of a modern-day
Genghis Khan
Tried to argue
it was only entertainment, dawg
Gangsta? Naw, courageous balls
Had to change my style
they said I`m way too soft
And I sound like AZ and Nas
out came the claws
And the fangs been out since then
But up until the instant
that I’ve went against it
It was ingrained in me that
I wouldn’t amount to a shitstain I thought
No wonder I had to unlearn
everything my brain was taught
Do I really belong in this game?
I pondered
I just wanna play my part
should I make waves or not?
So back and forth
in my brain the tug of war wages on
And I don’t wanna seem ungrateful
or disrespect the artform
I was raised upon
But sometimes you gotta take a loss
And have people rub
it in your face before
you get made pissed off
And keep pluggin’
it’s your only outlet
And your only outfit so you know
they gonna talk about it
Better find a way to counter
it quick and make it, ah
Feel like I’ve already
said this a kabillion eighty times
How many times can
I say the same thing
different ways that rhyme?
What I really wanna say is
is there anyone else
that can relate to my story?
Bet you feel the same way I felt
when I was in the same place you are
When I was afraid to

I was a
Afraid to make a single sound
Afraid I will never find a way out, out, out
Afraid I never before
I didn’t wanna go another round
An angry man`s power will shut you up
Trip wires fill this house with tip-toe love
Run out of excuses with every word
So here I am and I will not run
Guts over fear, the time is here
Guts over fear, I shall not tear
For all the times I let you push me around
And let you keep me down
Guts over fear, guts over fear

Feels like a close, it’s coming to
Fuck am I gonna do?
It`s too late to start over
This is the only thing I, thing I know

It’s like I was there once
single parent
Hate your appearance
did you struggle to find your place
in this world?
And the pain spawns all the anger on
But it wasn’t until I put the pain
in songs learned who to aim it on
That I made a spark
started to spit hard as shit
Learned how to harness
it while the reins were off
And there was a lot of bizarre shit
but the crazy part
Was soon as I stopped saying
"I gave a fuck"
Haters started to appreciate my art
And it just breaks
my heart to look at all the pain I’ve caused
But what am I gonna do
when the rage is gone?
And the lights go out in that trailer park?
And the window is closing
and there’s nowhere else
that I can go with flows
And I’m frozen cause there’s
no more emotion for me to pull from
Just a bunch of playful
songs that I made for fun
So to the break of dawn here
I go recycling the same, old song
But I’d rather make “Not Afraid 2”
than make another mothafuckin’
“We Made You” uh
Now I don’t wanna seem indulgent
when I discuss my lows and my highs
My demise and my uprise, pray to God
I just opened enough eyes later on
Gave you the supplies
and the tools to hopefully use
it to make you strong
And enough to lift yourself up
when you feel like I felt
Cause I can’t explain to y’all
how dang exhausted my legs felt
Just having to balance my dang self
But on eggshells I was made to walk
But thank you, ma
‘cause that gave me the
Strength to cause Shady-mania
so many empty that stadium
At least I made it out of that house
and a found a place in this world
when the day was done
So this is for every kid who all’s
they ever did was dreamt of one day
just getting accepted
I represent him or her, anyone similar
you are the reason that I made this song
And everything you`re scared to say
don`t be afraid to say no more
From this day forward
just let them a-holes talk
Take it with a grain of salt
and eat their fucking faces off
The legend of the angry blonde lives
on through you when I’m gone
And to think I was gone

I was a
Afraid to make a single sound
Afraid I will never find a way out, out, out
Afraid I never before
I didn’t wanna go another round
An angry man`s power will shut you up
Trip wires fill this house with tip-toe love
Run out of excuses with every word
So here I am and I will not run
Guts over fear, the time is here
Guts over fear, I shall not tear
For all the times I let you push me around
And let you keep me down
Guts over fear, guts over fear
