[00:00.630]Feels like a close, it’s coming to
[00:04.080]**** am I gonna do? / It's too late to start over
[00:11.720]This is the only thing I, thing I know
[00:14.120]
[00:14.290]Sometimes I feel like all I ever do is
[00:16.240]Find different ways to word the same, old song
[00:18.250]Ever since I came along
[00:19.650]From the day the song called ‘’Hi! My Name Is’’ dropped
[00:21.800]Started thinking my name was fall
[00:23.710]Cause anytime things went wrong
[00:25.140]I was the one who they would blame it on
[00:26.880]The media made me the equivalent of a modern-day Genghis Kahn
[00:30.480]Tried to argue it was only entertainment, dawg
[00:32.870]Gangsta? Naw, courageous balls
[00:34.740]Had to change my style, they said I'm way too soft
[00:37.360]And I sound like AZ and Nas, out came the claws
[00:39.630]And the thing’s been out since then
[00:41.960]But up until the instant that I’ve been against it
[00:43.560]It was ingrained in me that I wouldn’t amount to a ****stain I thought
[00:46.490]No wonder I had to unlearn everything that my brain was taught
[00:49.160]Do I really belong in this game? I pondered
[00:50.930]I just wanna play my part, should I make waves or not?
[00:53.310]So back and forth in my brain the tug of war wages on
[00:55.960]And I don’t wanna seem ungrateful or disrespect the artform I was raised upon
[00:59.490]But sometimes you gotta take a loss
[01:00.940]And have people rub it in your face before you can get made pissed off
[01:04.160]And keep pluggin’, it’s your only outlet
[01:05.970]And your only outfit, so you know they gonna talk about it
[01:08.250]Better find a way to counter it quick and make it, ah
[01:11.410]Feel like I’ve already said this a kabillion eighty times
[01:14.060]How many times can I say the same thing different ways that rhyme?
[01:16.830]What I really wanna say is, is there anyone else who can relate to my story?
[01:19.820]Bet you feel the same way I felt when I was in the same place you are, when I was afraid to…
[01:22.960]
[01:24.140]Afraid to make a single sound
[01:27.480]Afraid I will never find a way out, out, out
[01:31.010]Afraid I never before
[01:34.390]I didn’t wanna go another round
[01:37.740]An angry mans power will shut you up
[01:41.180]Trip wires in this house will cut our love
[01:44.650]Run out of excuses with every word
[01:48.070]So here I am and I will not run
[01:53.410]Guts over fear, the time is here
[02:00.160]Guts over fear, I shall not tear
[02:06.920]For all the times I let you push me around and push me down
[02:13.610]Guts over fear, guts over fear
[02:18.000]
[02:19.610]Feels like a close, it’s coming to
[02:22.840]**** am I gonna do? / It's too late to start over
[02:30.590]This is the only thing I, thing I know
[02:33.220]
[02:33.440]It’s like I was there once, single parents
[02:35.850]Hate your appearance, did you struggle to find your place in this world?
[02:38.810]And the pain spawns all the anger on
[02:40.580]But it wasn’t until I put the pain in songs learned who to aim it on
[02:43.880]That I made a spark, started to spit hard as ****
[02:45.710]Learned how to harness it while the reins were off
[02:48.630]And there was a lot of bizarre shit, but the crazy part
[02:50.740]Was soon as I stopped saying "I gave a ****"
[02:52.280]Haters started to appreciate my art
[02:54.710]And it just breaks my heart to look at all the pain I’ve caused
[02:57.120]But what am I gonna do when the rage is gone?
[02:58.690]The lights go out in the trailer park
[03:00.850]And the window that was closing and there’s nowhere else I can go with flows in
[03:03.540]And I’m frozen cause there’s no more emotion for me to pull from
[03:05.830]Just a bunch of playful songs that I make for fun
[03:08.470]So to the break of dawn here I go recycling the same old song
[03:11.530]But I’d rather make “Not Afraid 2” than another make ***********’ “We Made You” uh
[03:14.880]Now I don’t wanna seem indulgent when I discuss my lows and my highs
[03:18.120]My demise and my uprise, pray to God
[03:19.820]I just opened enough eyes later on
[03:21.770]Gave you the supplies and the tools to hopefully use it to make you strong
[03:24.940]And enough to lift yourself up when you feel like I felt
[03:27.140]Cause I can’t explain to y’all how dang exhausted my legs felt
[03:30.000]Just having to balance my damn self
[03:31.710]Those dang eggshells, I was made to walk
[03:33.590]But thank you ma, ‘cause that gave me the
[03:35.230]Strength to cause Shady-mania, so many empty that stadium
[03:38.500]At least I made it out of that house and a found a place in this world when the day was done
[03:42.120]So this is for every kid who all’s they ever did was dreamt that one day they would just get accepted
[03:45.670]I represent him or her, or anyone similar you are the reason that I made this song
[03:49.250]Everything you're scared to say don't be afraid to say no more
[03:52.390]From this day on forward, just let them a-holes talk
[03:54.740]Take it with a grain of salt and eat their ******* faces off
[03:58.920]The legend of the angry blonde lives on through you when I’m gone
[04:01.590]And to think I was...
[04:02.760]
[04:03.490]Afraid to make a single sound
[04:06.820]Afraid I will never find a way out, out, out
[04:10.320]Afraid I never before
[04:13.690]I didn’t wanna go another round
[04:17.190]An angry mans power will shut you up
[04:20.720]Trip wires in this house will cut our love
[04:24.020]Run out of excuses with every word
[04:27.510]So here I am and I will not run
[04:32.880]Guts over fear, the time is here
[04:39.430]Guts over fear, I shall not tear
[04:46.300]For all the times I let you push me around and push me down
[04:53.010]Guts over fear, guts over fear
[04:57.970]
