♪ 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, uh, equivalent of a modern-day ♪

♪ Genghis Khan ♪

♪ Tried to argue it was only entertainment, dawg ♪

♪ Gangster? Nah, 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 shit stain 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 art form 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 ♪

♪ If there's 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 afraid to make a single sound ♪

♪ Afraid I would never find a way out, out, out ♪

♪ Afraid I'd never be found ♪

♪ 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 near ♪

♪ Guts over fear ♪

♪ I shed a tear ♪

♪ For all the times I let you push me 'round ♪

♪ I let you keep me down ♪

♪ Now I got, 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 was like I was there once ♪

♪ Single parents, 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 make 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 mother fuckin' "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 open enough eyes later on ♪

♪ And gave you the supplies and the tools ♪

♪ To hopefully use that'll make you strong ♪

♪ 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 havin' to balance my dang self ♪

♪ When on eggshells, I was made to walk ♪

♪ But thank you, ma, 'cause that gave me the ♪

♪ Strength to cause Shady-mania ♪

♪ So when they 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 a ♪

♪ I was a afraid to make a single sound ♪

♪ Afraid I would never find a way out, out, out ♪

♪ Afraid I'd never be found ♪

♪ 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 near ♪

♪ Guts over fear ♪

♪ I shed a tear ♪

♪ For all the times I let you push me 'round ♪

♪ I let you keep me down ♪

♪ Now I got, guts over fear ♪

♪ Guts over fear ♪
