John Hill - Guts Over Fear lyrics

[Produced by Emile] [Bridge: Eminem] Feels like a close, it's coming to f** am I gonna do? It's too late to start over This is the only thing I, thing I know [Verse 1: Eminem] 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 any time 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 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 went against it, it was ingrained in me that I wouldn't amount to a sh**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 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 plugging, 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… [Pre-Hook: Sia] 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-toed love Run out of excuses for everyone So here I am and I will not run [Hook: Sia] 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 [Bridge: Eminem] Feels like a close, it's coming to f** am I gonna do? It's too late to start over This is the only thing I, thing I know [Verse 2: Eminem] I know what it was like, I was there once Single parents, hate your appearance As you struggle to find your place in this world And the pain spawns all the anger on But it wasn't 'til I put the pain in song, learned who to aim it on That I made a spark, started to spit hard as sh** Learned how to harness it while the reins were off And there was a lot of bizarre sh**, but the crazy part Was soon as I stopped saying I gave a f** 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 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 rather make “Not Afraid 2” Than make another motherf**ing “We Made You”, ah 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 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 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 f**ing faces off The legend of the angry blonde Lives on through you when I'm gone, and to think I was a… [Pre-Hook: Sia] 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-toed love Run out of excuses for everyone So here I am and I will not run [Hook: Sia] 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
