Eminem
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 thinkin' 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, dog
Gangsta? 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 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...
Sia
I was a-afraid to make a single sound
Afraid I would never find a way ou-ou-out
Afraid I'd never be found
I don't wanna go another round
An angry man's power will shut you up
Tripwires fill this house with tiptoed love
Run out of excuses for everyone
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 around, I let you keep me down
(But now I got) Guts over fear, guts over fear
Eminem
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
I know what it's 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 song
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 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 closin' 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 motherfuckin' "We Made You", uh
And 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
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 having 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
'Least I made it out of that house
And 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 gettin' 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 fuckin' faces off
The legend of the angry blonde lives on
Through you when I'm gone
And to think I was a
Sia
I was a-afraid to make a single sound
Afraid I would never find a way ou-ou-out
Afraid I'd never be found
I don't wanna go another round
An angry man's power will shut you up
Tripwires fill this house with tiptoed love
Run out of excuses for everyone
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 around, I let you keep me down
(But now I got) Guts over fear, guts over fear
