Not Afraid: Chords

Intro: 
         DOm
I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid)
          LAb7+
To take a stand (to take a stand)
     MIb
Everybody (everybody)
             SIb   
Come take my hand come (come take my hand)
                       DOm
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
         LAb7+
Whatever weather, cold or warm
                 MIb
Just letting you know that, you're not alone
      SIb
Holla if you feel 

like you've been down the same road
 
Parlato:
yeah
To take a stand, it's been a ride
Everybody, 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 tryin' to get out
Just follow me
I'll get you there

                DOm
You can try and read my lyrics off

of this paper before I lay 'em
    LAb7+
But you won't take the sting out 

these words before I say 'em
       MIb
'Cause ain't no way I'm a let you stop me 

from causin' mayhem
        SIb
When I say I'm a do somethin' I do it
                             DOm
I don't give a damn what you think

I'm doin' this for me, 
                           LAb7+
so fuck the world, feed it beans

It's gassed up, if it thinks it's stoppin' me
      MIb
I'mma be what I set out to be, 

without a doubt undoubtedly
    SIb
And all those who look down on me, 

I'm tearin' down your balcony
DOm
No if, ands or buts, don't try to ask him 

why or how can he
LAb7+
From "Infinite" down to the last "Relapse" album 
           MIb
he's still shittin'

Whether he's on salary, paid hourly, 
  SIb
until he bows out or he shits his bowels out of him
     DOm
Whichever comes first, for better or worse
                    LAb7+
He's married to the game, 

like a fuck you for Christmas
              MIb
His gift is a curse, forget the Earth, 
                                            SIb
he's got the urge to pull his dick from the dirt

And fuck the whole universe

         DOm
I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid)
          LAb7+
To take a stand (to take a stand)
     MIb
Everybody (everybody)
             SIb   
Come take my hand come (come take my hand)
                       DOm
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
         LAb7+
Whatever weather, cold or warm
                 MIb
Just letting you know that, you're not alone
      SIb
Holla if you feel 

like you've been down the same road

                           DOm
Okay quit playin' with the scissors and shit, 

and cut the crap
                       LAb7+
I shouldn't have to rhyme these words 

in the rhythm for you to know it's a rap
             MIb
You said you was king

You lied through your teeth, 
                   SIb
for that fuck your feelings
                   
Instead of gettin' crowned you're gettin' capped, 
           DOm
and to the fans
                                  
I'll never let you down again, I'm back
     LAb7+
I promise to never go back on that promise
                  MIb
In fact, let's be honest, 

that last "Relapse" CD was eh
          SIb
Perhaps I ran them accents into the ground
         DOm
Relax, I ain't goin' back to that now
                  LAb7+
All I'm tryin' to say is get back, 
                                          MIb
click-clack, blow 'cause I ain't playin' around

It's a game called circle and I don't know how
SIb
I'm way too up to back down
                DOm
But I think I'm still tryin' 

to figure this crap out
                        LAb7+
Thought I had it mapped out but I guess I didn't, 

this fuckin' black cloud
      MIb
Still follows me around but it's time 

to exercise these demons
SIb
These muh'fuckers are doin' jumpin' jacks now

         DOm
I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid)
          LAb7+
To take a stand (to take a stand)
     MIb
Everybody (everybody)
             SIb   
Come take my hand come (come take my hand)
                       DOm
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
         LAb7+
Whatever weather, cold or warm
                 MIb
Just letting you know that, you're not alone
      SIb
Holla if you feel 
                               DOm
like you've been down the same road

                      LAb
And I just can't keep living this way
   MIb
So starting today
             SIb
I'm breaking out of this cage
             DOm
I'm standing up, I'mma face my demons
            LAb
I'm manning up, I'mma hold my ground
          MIb
I've had enough, now I'm so fed up
                    SIb
Time to put my life back together right now (now)

            DOm
It was my decision to get clean, I did it for me
        LAb7+
Admittedly, I probably did it subliminally
         MIb
For you, so I could come back a brand new me, 
 
you helped see me through
    SIb
And don't realize what you did, believe me you
DOm
I been through the ringer, 
                                       LAb7+
but they could do little to the middle finger
                
I think I got a tear in my eye, 
                MIb
I feel like the king of

My world, haters can make like bees 
        SIb
with no stingers and drop dead
                              DOm
No more bee flingers, no more drama from now on

I promise to focus solely on 
LAb7+
handlin' my responsibilities as a father
     MIb
So I solemnly swear to always treat this roof, 
                      SIb
like my daughters and raise it

You couldn't lift a single shingle on it, 
           DOm
'cause the way I feel

I'm strong enough to go 
                   LAb7+
to the club or the corner pub

And lift the whole liquor counter up 
           MIb
'cause I'm raising the bar

I'd shoot for the moon 
                 SIb
but I'm too busy gazin' at stars, 

I feel amazing and I'm not

         DOm
I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid)
          LAb7+
To take a stand (to take a stand)
     MIb
Everybody (everybody)
             SIb   
Come take my hand come (come take my hand)
                       DOm
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
         LAb7+
Whatever weather, cold or warm
                 MIb
Just letting you know that, you're not alone
      SIb
Holla if you feel 

like you've been down the same road

Classici Italiani

Not Afraid è una canzone del 2010 scritta e incisa da Eminem e pubblicata quello stesso anno come primo singolo estratto dall'album Recovery, suo settimo lavoro in studio. Il testo del brano riflette una sorta di redenzione dello stesso autore, che è uscito dal tunnel della droga e della violenza; musicalmente si presenta come una ballata hip hop dura e cruda, di quelle che solo il rapper del Missouri ci sa regalare.
