These were originally the lyrics to Eminem's Song "I'm not Afraid" but I've changed the lyrics a bit to personalize them.....it basically talks a bit about what I'm going through.....
Most of the altered lyrics fit in well but some parts are a bit forced.
Yeah it might be terrible but I still thought I'd share it with you guys :-)
I'm not Afraid
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
To take a stand, to take a stand
(Yeah, it's been a ride)
Everybody, everybody
(I guess I had to)
Come take my hand, come take my hand
(Go to that place to get to this one)
We'll walk this world together through the storm
(Now some of you)
Whatever weather, cold or warm
(Might still be in that place)
Just lettin' you know that you're not alone
(If you're tryin' to get out)
Holla if you feel like you've been down the same road
(Just follow me, I'll get you there)
You can try and read my thoughts before I say 'em
But you don't know how these words sting when I say 'em
'Cause ain't no way I'ma let you stop me from being me
When I say I'ma do something, I do it, I don't give a damn what you think
I'm doin' this for me, not for anyone else
Your expectations, nope they’re not stopping me
I'ma 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 me why or how I can
From my “passion” down to that last personal “quality"
I’m still here' developing personally, emotionally
If not I’ll blow up, changes can be tough to go thru
Whichever comes first, for better or worse
Life’s an ever changing game, you got to face it strong.
Change’s not a curse, forget that idea, it’s opportunity
urging you to grow as a person and learn from the whole universe
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
To take a stand, to take a stand
Everybody, everybody
Come take my hand, come take my hand
We'll walk this route together through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just lettin' you know that you're not alone
Holla if you feel like you've been down the same road
Okay, quit playin' with the scissors and words and cut the crap
I shoudldn't have to rhyme these words in a rhythm for you to know it's a wrap
I thought this was it, twas a lie there is more
For that screw your notions, instead of getting crowned you're getting capped
And to the friends, I'll never let you down, I'm back
I promise to never go back on that promise, in fact
Let's be honest, the last “me” he was kinda "eh"
Perhaps I ran the max and since hit the ground
Relax, I ain't goin' back to that now
All I'm tryin' to say is get back, click clack, pow
'Cause I ain't playin' around, it's the game called circlin'
I don't know how, I'm way too tough to back down
But I think I'm still tryin' to figure this crap out
Thought I had it mapped out, but I guess I didn't
This stupid black cloud still follows me around
But it's time to exorcise these demons, these suckers are doing jumping-jacks now
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
To take a stand, to take a stand
Everybody, everybody
Come take my hand, come take my hand
We'll walk this route together through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just lettin' you know that you're not alone
Holla if you feel like you've been down the same road
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
Tryin' to put my life back together right now
It was my decision to come clean, I did it for me
Admittedly, I probably got help from people like 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've been through the ringer, but take it through 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 only focus
On handlin' my responsibilities as a grownup
I solemnly swear to always treat this roof with my passion
And raise it, before I 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 liqueur counter up
'Cause I'm raisin' the bar, I shoot for the moon
But I'm too busy gazin' at stars I feel amazin'
And I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
To take a stand, to take a stand
Everybody, everybody
Come take my hand, come take my hand
We'll walk this route together through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just lettin' you know that you're not alone
Holla if you feel like you've been down the same road
To take a stand, to take a stand
(Yeah, it's been a ride)
Everybody, everybody

Come take my hand, come take my hand
