Boi-1da - Not Afraid lyrics

[Intro] Yeah, it's been a ride I guess I had to go to that place to get to this one Now some of you might still be in that place If you're trying to get out Just follow me, I'll get you there [Verse 1] You can try and read my lyrics off of this paper before I lay 'em But you won't take the sting out these words before I say 'em Cause ain't no way I'ma let you stop me from causing mayhem When I say I'ma do something, I do it, I don't give a damn What you think, I'm doing this for me, so f** the world Feed it beans, it's ga**ed up, if it thinks it's stopping me I'ma be what I set out to be, without a doubt, undoubtably And all those who look down on me I'm tearing down your balcony No if ands or buts, don't try to ask him "why?" or "how can he" From Infinite down to the last Relapse album He's still sh**tin', whether he's on salary, paid hourly Until he bows out or he sh**s his bowels out of him Whichever comes first, for better or worse He's married to the game Like a "f** you" for Christmas; his gift is a curse Forget the Earth, he's got the urge To pull his dick from the dirt and f** the whole universe [Hook] I'm not afraid to take a stand Everybody come take my hand We'll walk this road together, through the storm Whatever weather, cold or warm Just letting you know that you're not alone Holla if you feel like you've been down the same road [Verse 2] Okay, quit playing with the scissors and sh**, and cut the crap I shouldn't have to rhyme these words In the rhythm for you to know it's a rap You said you was king, you lied through your teeth For that f** your feelings Instead of getting crowned you're getting capped And to the fans, I'll never let you down again, I'm back I promise to never go back on that promise, in fact Let's be honest, that last Relapse CD was “ehhhh” Perhaps I ran them accents into the ground Relax, I ain't going back to that now All I'm tryin' to say is get back, click-clack BLAOW ‘Cause I ain't playing around There's a game called circle and I don't know how I'm way too up to back down But I think I'm still trying to figure this crap out Thought I had it mapped out, but I guess I didn't This f**ing black cloud still follows me around But it's time to exorcise these demons These motherf**ers are doing jumping jacks now [Hook] I'm not afraid to take a stand Everybody come take my hand We'll walk this road together, through the storm Whatever weather, cold or warm Just letting you know that you're not alone Holla if you feel like you've been down the same road [Bridge] And I just can't keep living this way So starting today, I'm breaking out of this cage I'm standing up, I'ma face my demons I'm manning up, I'ma hold my ground I've had enough, now I'm so fed up Time to put my life back together right now [Verse 3] It was my decision to get clean, I did it for me Admittedly I probably did it subliminally for you So I could come back a brand new me You helped see me through And don't even realize what you did, believe me you I have been through the wringer But they can do little to the middle finger I think I got a tear in my eye, I feel like the king of My world, haters can make like bees With no stingers, and drop dead No more beef flingers, no more drama from now on, I promise To focus solely on handling my responsibilities as a father So I solemnly swear to always treat this roof Like my daughters and raise it You couldn't lift a single shingle on it ‘Cause the way I feel, I'm strong enough to go to the club Or the corner pub and lift the whole liquor counter up ‘Cause I'm raising the bar, I'd shoot for the moon But I'm too busy gazing at stars, I feel amazing, and I'm… [Hook] I'm not afraid to take a stand Everybody come take my hand We'll walk this road together, through the storm Whatever weather, cold or warm Just letting you know that you're not alone Holla if you feel like you've been down the same road
