EMINEM - Guts Over Fear lyrics
rate meFt. Sia
(Bridge: Eminem)
Feels like it's close, comin' to fuck yo mind
Gonna do, it's too late to start over
This is the only thing I... thing I know
(Verse: Eminem)
Sometimes I feel like all I eva do is
Find different ways towards the same ol' song
Ever since I came along, on the day the song called 'How my Name' was dropped
Started thinkin' my name was Fall
Cuz any time things went wrong, I was the one who they would blame it on
The media made media equavalent of a modern day Genghis Khan
Tryna argue, it was only entertainment, dawg
Gangsta?! Nah, courageous balls
Had to change my style(?), instead of way too soft
And I sound like Jay-Z and Nas, out came the claws
And the pain's been out since then
But up against the instinct, then I went against it
It was engraved in me that I wouldn't melt(?)
To a shit stain, I thought(?)
No wonder I had to honor everything my brain has thought
Do I really belong in this game, I pondered
I just wanna play my part
Should I make waves or not?
Back and forth in my brain, the tug of war wages on
And I don't wanna seem ungrateful or disrespect the art world
I was raised up on, but some tell you gotta take the loss
And have people rub it in yo face before you get pissed off
And keep pluggin', it yo only outfit
Only outfit, so ya know they're gonna talk about it
Betta find a way to counter it, quick!
You can make it! Ahhh
Feel like I already said this a kabillion 80 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 mine
Story, if you give the same one after(?)
And after, I was in the same place you are
I was afraid to...
(Hook: Sia)
Afraid to make a single sound
Afraid of never finding a way out, out, out
So here I am and I will not run
Guts over fear
Angry man's power will shut you up
Trip wires in this house will cut our love
Out of excuses with every word
So here I am and I will not run
Guts over fear!
Guts over fear! (I shed my tear)
For all the times I had to push me around
From not to keep me down
Guts over fear!
Guts over fear!
(Bridge: Eminem)
Feels like it's close, comin' to fuck yo mind
Gonna do, it's too late to start over
This is the only thing I... thing I know
(Verse 2: Eminem)
It's like I was there once, single parents
Hate yo appearance, they just drivel to find yo face in this world
And the pain spawn all the anger on em
But it wasn't till I put the pain in song
Learn who to aim it at, that I made a spark
Started to spit artist shit, learn how to harness it
All the rains where off, and it was a lot of bizarre shit
But the crazy part was soon as I stopped singin'
They gave a fuck, gators started to appreciate my art
And it just breaks my heart, and look at all the pain I caused
What am I gonna do when the rage is gone
And the lights go out in that trailer park
And the window is closin', and there's nowhere else that I can go
It flows and I'm frozen, cuz there's no more emotion 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'd rather make 'Not Afraid 2' than another muthafuckin' 'We Made You', huh
And I don't wanna seem ? when I discuss my lows and my highs
Demise and my uprise straight to God
I'll open enough eyes later on
Gave you the supplies and the tools
Hopefully use that will make ya strong
Enough to lift yoself up, when you feel like I felt
Cuz I can't explain it, y'all, how pain exhausting my ? felt
Having to balance my daily self, on eggshells I was made to walk
But thank you, ma', cuz that gave me the
Strength to to call Shady mania, so many empty that stadium
Least I made it outta that house and
Found a place in this world when the day was done
So this is for every kid who also evident(?)
Just dreamt that one day was gettin' accepted
I represent him, her, or anyone similar
You are the reason that I made this song
Everything that you were scared to say don't be afraid to say no more
From this day forward, ?, take it with a grand assault
And eat their fuckin' faces off!
The legend of the angry blonde, it sung through you
Let alone and the ?
(Hook: Sia)
Afraid to make a single sound
Afraid of never finding a way out, out, out
So here I am and I will not run
Guts over fear
Angry man's power will shut you up
Trip wires in this house will cut our love
Out of excuses with every word
So here I am and I will not run
Guts over fear!
Guts over fear! (I shed my tear)
For all the times I had to push me around
From not to keep me down
Guts over fear!
Guts over fear!
