Eminem - Not Afraid - How High Will It Chart?

[chiasmus]

This is what I got for the lyrics...

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 of these words before I say ‘em
Cos ain’t no way Ima let you stop me from causing mayhem when i say ima
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 it thinks it’s stopping me
Ima 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
Knowing if ands or buts don’t try to ask him why or how can he,
From infinite down to the last relapse album he still shittin’
Whether he’s on salary paid hourly, until he bows out or he shits 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 whole universe.

Hook
I’m not afraid (I’m not afraid)
To take a stand (take a stand)
Everybody (Everybody)
Come take my hand (Come take my hand)
We’ll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm,
Just lettin’ you know that,
You’re not alone
Holla if you feel like you been down this road

Verse 2
Ok
Quit playing with the system 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 your getting capped,
And to the fans, I’ll never let you down again on that,
I promise to never go back on that promise, in fact let’s be honest,
That last relapse CD was ehm, perhaps I ran them accents into the ground,
Relax, I ain’t going back to that now
All I’m trying to say is get back, click clack, blaow
Cos I ain’t playing around
It’s a game called circle and I don’t know how,
I’m way too up to back down
But I think I’ still tryin to figure this crap out,
Thought I had it mapped out but I guess I didn’t, this fucking black cloud, still follows
Me around, but I guess it’s time to exercise these demons,
These mutherfuckers are doing jumping jacks now!

Hook
I’m not afraid (I’m not afraid)
To take a stand (take a stand)
Everybody (Everybody)
Come take my hand (Come take my hand)
We’ll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm,
Just lettin’ you know that,
You’re not alone
Holla if you feel like you been down the same road

Bridge
And I just can’t keep living this way,
Sooo starting today,
I’m breaking out of this caaaaeege
I’m standing up, Ima face my demons,
I’m man enough, ima 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, just believe me, you
I’ve been through the ringer but they can do little to the middle finger,
I think I gotta tear in my eye, I feel like the king o’
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 life a single shingle awning,
Cos the way I feel, I’m strong enough to go to the club,
Or the corner pub and lift the whole liquor counter up,
Cos I’m raising the bar, I shoot for the moon, but I’m too busy gazing at stars,
I amazing and I'm not...

Hook
I’m not afraid (I’m not afraid)
To take a stand (take a stand)
Everybody (Everybody)
Come take my hand (Come take my hand)
We’ll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm,
Just lettin’ you know that,
You’re not alone
Holla if you feel like you been down this road

greaaaaaaattttttttttttt song man!!!

i have already heard it million times hehe

[imhavingarelapse]

I'M NOT AFRAID..TO TAKE A STAND...EVERYBODEEEEEY, COME TAKE MY HAND..

[stillmatic]

The song will debut in the top 30 and then fade away.

It won't be a hit because it doesn't have the mainstream catchy appeal to last.

Doesn't mean it's not a great song, it is.

For once, I don't think Eminem gives a shit abut Billboard positions.

This album is for the fans.

[Wisheezy]

This is different, and I love it. It's sick. Recovery will be something very special, i can feel a very classic vibe to it?

[tigrot]

looking at dtw, Airplanes and now this, looks like we will be having a great album

[BigBangBazinga]

FUCKING STUPIDLY FRAEKING DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPE!

Fuck ALL the fucking haters and fuck all of you who don't like it! The king is back for real and he's slaying all competition!

[Almostlity]

FUCKING STUPIDLY FRAEKING DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPE!

Fuck ALL the fucking haters and fuck all of you who don't like it! The king is back for real and he's slaying all competition!

no opinions allowed huh?

[Anim]

I came.

[kevinh]

[Tranquil]

I came.

[Slill_Slim_Shady]

I came.

I've just do that

[venomous_volatile]

This song is just too good.

He shouldn't have to say sorry for the Relapse though, it was what it was. A great album.

[BigBangBazinga]

FUCKING STUPIDLY FRAEKING DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPE!

Fuck ALL the fucking haters and fuck all of you who don't like it! The king is back for real and he's slaying all competition!

no opinions allowed huh?

No!

But seriously, if you don't like this song then what the fuck could you possibly want from him?

[Chilli]

Ok...

The experimentation with other producers is off to a bad start. Everything about the verses are fucking out of this world but the beat makes it nearly unlistenable for me.

Way too Drake/Wayne reminiscent and it's actually rather upsetting. All his classic, huge hits prior to this were really nice and had the pop sensibilities but they never imitated what other people were doing. I feel like this has stepped over the line AND I BLAME BOI 1DA!!!

I'm really really really really really really REEEEEAAAALLY hoping this is just a way for him to work his way back onto the charts and the Blaze/Dre/Em produced tracks are different.
