Not bad.

[axl_on_drums]

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 let you know that, you're not alone

Hola if you feel that you've been down the same road

(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 this thing out these words before I say 'em

Cause ain't no way I'm let you stop me from causing mayhem

When I say 'em or do something I do it, I don't give a damn

What you think, I'm doing this for me, so fuck the world

Feed it beans, it's gassed up, if a thing's stopping me

I'mma be what I set out to be, without a doubt undoubtedly

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 shit and

Whether he's on salary, paid hourly

Until he bows out or he shit's his bowels out of him

Whichever comes first, for better or worse

He's married to the game, like a fuck you for christmas

His gift is a curse, forget the earth he's got the urge

To pull his dick from the dirt and fuck the 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 let you know that, you're not alone

Holla if you feel that you've been down the same road

(Verse 2)

Ok quit playin' with the scissors and shit, 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 fuck 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 tryna say is get back, click-clack BLAOW

Cause I ain't playin' 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 tryna figure this crap out

Thought I had it mapped out but I guess I didn't

This fucking black cloud's still follow's me around

But it's time to exercise these demons

These motherfuckers 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 let you know that, you're not alone

Holla if you feel that 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, Imma face my demons

I'm manning up, Imma 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 realise what you did, believe me you

I been through the ringer, 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 soley on handling my responsibility's 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 lonely

Cause the way I feel, I'm strong enough to go to the club

Put a ??? and lift the whole liquor counter up

Cause I'm raising the bar, I shoot for the moon

But I'm too busy gazing at stars, I feel amazing and

(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 let you know that, you're not alone

Holla if you feel that you've been down the same road

[Estranged Reality]

I love the fact that he dissed Relapse and acknowledged that he overused the accents. Old Em' is back.

[Black Sabbath]

Only listened once yet, but I liked it. It'll probably grow on me more when I get a better quality version.

Anyone got a high quality rip?

By the way, I don't mind the accents on Relapse, and I love the whole album as it is.

[axl_on_drums]

I was bummed to hear him say Relapse was "meh"

Trust me it's a grower, I've given it maybe 20 listens already today

[Black Sabbath]

I was bummed to hear him say Relapse was "meh"

I was too, a bit. I love Relapse.

I can't seem to find a high quality version that doesn't cut off after 4 minutes though. Argh.

[Estranged Reality]

Not to be a dick, but please don't post direct links to the song(s). Even though the single was released to radio, rips of the track are still technically illegal.

Song's grown on me a lot, btw. I think the chorus is a bit weak but it's a solid effort.

[Black Sabbath]

The only part that still hasn't fully grown on me is the bridge. It just sounds out of place, somewhat.

The song grew on me a lot, and fast. I love it now.

[Conor]

Love it, can't wait for this album.

[kevdo242]

I was thinking about selling my T in the Park ticket. After hearing this, I think I'll keep it, and watch Eminem.

[D..]

He's got his voice back, really didn't like Relapse. The chorus of this new single is shit but the verses are great, old school style.

Seeing him the same weekend but at Oxegen

[ITW 2012]

This song is Ah-ight. I personally thought Relapse was better than Encore. When Eminem is on his A game nobody can touch him. The man is just a lyrical genius.

My keyboard is melting on me.

Eminem's "Madagascar"?

Cool song. Liked "Beautiful" from Relapse, but yeah, the accents put me off. The Eminem Show is still my favourite of his albums (White America is a classic I still know all the lyrics to after all these years).

[SunnyDRE]

Honestly though, haven't you always disliked Eminem?

He's for kids.....like daffy duck.

"What do you do when you got 22 things to task, And 10 minutes to deal with it And for the first 5 you bullshitted - The scenario really best describes our folks - Its like devils got plans and black personz got jokes Like an underdog team got hopes, but Hoop dream buzzer-beaters choke when y'all triple team pointguards go nuts Power corrupts And its a shame cuz the hardest working squad gets left with the donut The front runners say "so what?" They can't back their home team cuz they got no guts And high scorers check stats but they still have yet to win Plus tomorrow they'll be riding the bench once again, you see In this game I'm not trying to be the M.V.P Cuz the enemy's the clock and the referee Because its obvious the world is out of order I hope you wake up cuz we in the forth quarter y'all..Timeless "

When Em, starts writing shit with as much wit, and featuring "bob your head beats like this", I'll take notice.

**shrugs**

What was it Rush Limbaugh said about McNabb? The same hold's true in the rap game for this guy.

[Eah]

wow this Not Afraid song is really great... i didn't mind the accent but is good that he drop it

[Guest Satanisk_Slakt]

God I hate 50 Cent.

[ChineseDemocracy2004]

Eminem is alright. I didn't mind Relapse and I will probably listen to his new album soon.

[plonker88]

The verses of 'I'm Not Afraid' remind me why I love Eminem's work so much.

[axl_on_drums]

Best since Lose Yourself IMO,

That or Stay Wide Awake

[stacks on deck]

thoughts on his single:

- tell your producer beat-maker to listen to pete rock & cl smooth's "wig out" for how to make snares sound hot

- say word you're affiliated with dre but have this cornball do your first single's beat

- commenting on previous corniness doesn't work well when currently corny

- are you even trying?

- where did this come from?

-- a concerned fan, stickity-stacks on deck

[axl_on_drums]

I'm gonna reveal the album covers today for Recovery. 14 minutes ago via web

Wooo, covers, not just cover.

[Black Sabbath]

Nice. Looking forward to seeing them.
