FEELS LIKE A CLOSE
IT'S COMING TO
F### AM I GONNA DO
IT'S TOO LATE
TO START OVER
THIS IS THE ONLY
THING I THING I KNOW
SOMETIMES I FEEL
LIKE ALL I EVER
DO IS
FIND DIFFERENT
WAYS TO
WORD THE SAME
OLD SONG
EVER SINCE I
CAME ALONG
FROM THE DAY THE
SONG CALLED
HI MY NAME IS DROPPED
STARTED THINKING MY
NAME WAS FAULT
CAUSE ANY TIME THINGS
WENT WRONG
I WAS THE ONE WHO THEY
WOULD BLAME IT ON
THE MEDIA MADE ME
THE EQUIVALENT
OF A MODERN-DAY
GENGHIS KHAN
TRIED TO ARGUE
IT WAS ONLY
ENTERTAINMENT DOG
GANGSTA NAW
COURAGEOUS BALLS
HAD TO CHANGE
MY STYLE
THEY SAID I'M WAY
TOO SOFT
AND I SOUND LIKE AZ AND NAS
OUT CAME THE CLAWS
AND THE FANGS BEEN
OUT SINCE THEN
BUT UP UNTIL
THE INSTANT
THAT I WENT
AGAINST IT
IT WAS INGRAINED IN ME
THAT I WOULDN'T
AMOUNT TO A S########
I THOUGHT
NO WONDER I HAD
TO UNLEARN
EVERYTHING MY BRAIN
WAS TAUGHT
DO I REALLY BELONG IN
THIS GAME I PONDERED
I JUST WANNA PLAY
MY PART
SHOULD I MAKE
WAVES OR NOT
SO BACK AND FORTH
IN MY BRAIN
THE TUG OF WAR
WAGES ON
AND I DON'T WANNA SEEM
UNGRATEFUL
OR DISRESPECT
THE ARTFORM
I WAS RAISED UPON
BUT SOMETIMES YOU
GOTTA TAKE A LOSS
AND HAVE PEOPLE RUB
IT IN YOUR FACE
BEFORE YOU GET
MADE P##### OFF
AND KEEP PLUGGIN' IT'S
YOUR ONLY OUTLET
AND YOUR ONLY OUTFIT
SO YOU
KNOW THEY GONNA
TALK ABOUT IT
BETTER FIND A WAY
TO COUNTER
IT QUICK AND MAKE IT AH
FEEL LIKE I'VE
ALREADY SAID THIS
A KABILLION EIGHTY 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 MY STORY
BET YOU FEEL THE
SAME WAY I FELT
WHEN I WAS IN THE
SAME PLACE YOU ARE
I WAS A
WHEN I WAS
AFRAID TO
AFRAID TO MAKE A
SINGLE SOUND
AFRAID I WILL NEVER
FIND A WAY OUT
AFRAID I'D NEVER
BE FOUND
I DON'T WANNA GO
ANOTHER ROUND
AN ANGRY MAN'S POWER
WILL SHUT YOU UP
TRIP WIRES FILL THIS HOUSE
WITH TIP-TOED LOVE
RUN OUT OF EXCUSES
FOR EVERYONE
SO HERE I AM AND
I WILL NOT RUN
GUTS OVER FEAR
THE TIME IS NEAR
GUTS OVER FEAR
I SHED A TEAR
FOR ALL THE TIMES I LET
YOU PUSH ME AROUND
AND LET YOU
KEEP ME DOWN
NOW I GOT GUTS OVER
FEAR GUTS OVER FEAR
FEELS LIKE A CLOSE
IT'S COMING TO
F### AM I GONNA DO
IT'S TOO LATE
TO START OVER
THIS IS THE ONLY
THING I THING I KNOW
I KNOW WHAT IT'S
LIKE I WAS
THERE ONCE SINGLE
PARENTS
HATE YOUR
APPEARANCE DID YOU
STRUGGLE TO FIND YOUR
PLACE IN THIS WORLD
AND THE PAIN SPAWNS
ALL THE ANGER ON
BUT IT WASN'T TIL
I PUT THE PAIN IN
SONGS LEARNED
WHO TO AIM IT ON
THAT I MADE A SPARK
STARTED
TO SPIT HARD AS S###
LEARNED HOW TO HARNESS
IT WHILE THE REINS
WERE OFF
AND THERE WAS A LOT
OF BIZARRE S### BUT
THE CRAZY PART
WAS AS SOON AS I STOPPED
SAYING I GAVE A F###
HATERS STARTED TO
APPRECIATE MY ART
AND IT JUST BREAKS
MY HEART TO
LOOK AT ALL THE PAIN
I'VE CAUSED
BUT WHAT AM I GONNA DO
WHEN THE RAGE IS GONE
AND THE LIGHTS GO OUT IN
THAT TRAILER PARK
AND THE WINDOW IS
CLOSING AND THERE'S
NOWHERE ELSE THAT
I CAN GO WITH FLOWS
AND I'M FROZEN
CAUSE THERE'S NO
MORE EMOTION FOR ME
TO PULL FROM
JUST A BUNCH
OF PLAYFUL
SONGS THAT
I MADE 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 MAKE
ANOTHER
M############ WE
MADE YOU UH
NOW I DON'T WANNA
SEEM INDULGENT
WHEN I DISCUSS MY
LOWS AND MY HIGHS
MY DEMISE AND MY
UPRISE PRAY TO GOD
I JUST OPENED ENOUGH
EYES LATER ON
GAVE YOU THE SUPPLIES
AND THE TOOLS
TO HOPEFULLY USE IT
TO MAKE YOU STRONG
ENOUGH TO LIFT
YOURSELF UP
WHEN YOU FEEL
LIKE I FELT
CAUSE I CAN'T EXPLAIN
TO Y'ALL HOW
DANG EXHAUSTED
MY LEGS FELT
JUST HAVING TO BALANCE
MY DANG SELF
WHEN ON EGGSHELLS
I WAS MADE TO WALK
BUT THANK YOU MA 'CAUSE
THAT GAVE ME THE
STRENGTH TO CAUSE
SHADY-MANIA
SO WHEN THEY EMPTY
THAT STADIUM
AT LEAST I MADE IT OUT
OF THAT HOUSE
AND FOUND A PLACE
IN THIS WORLD
WHEN THE DAY
WAS DONE
SO THIS IS FOR EVERY KID
WHO ALL'S THEY
EVER DID WAS
DREAMT OF ONE
DAY JUST GETTING
ACCEPTED
I REPRESENT HIM OR
HER ANYONE SIMILAR
YOU ARE THE REASON THAT
I MADE THIS SONG
AND EVERYTHING
YOU'RE SCARED TO
SAY DON'T BE AFRAID
TO SAY NO MORE
FROM THIS DAY
FORWARD
JUST LET THEM
A-##### TALK
TAKE IT WITH A
GRAIN OF SALT AND
EAT THEIR F######
FACES OFF
THE LEGEND OF THE
ANGRY BLONDE
LIVES ON THROUGH
YOU WHEN I'M GONE
AND TO THINK
I WAS A
AFRAID TO MAKE
A SINGLE SOUND
AFRAID I WILL NEVER
FIND A WAY O-O-OUT
AFRAID I'D NEVER
BE FOUND
I DON'T WANNA GO
ANOTHER ROUND
AN ANGRY MAN'S POWER
WILL SHUT YOU UP
TRIP WIRES FILL THIS HOUSE
WITH TIP-TOED LOVE
RUN OUT OF EXCUSES
FOR EVERYONE
SO HERE I AM AND
I WILL NOT RUN
GUTS OVER FEAR
THE TIME IS NEAR
GUTS OVER FEAR
I SHED A TEAR
FOR ALL THE TIMES I LET
YOU PUSH ME AROUND
AND LET YOU
KEEP ME DOWN
NOW I GOT GUTS OVER
FEAR GUTS OVER FEAR
