The melody of his singing right before the third verse is awesome. Overall, it's an ok song, but probably the best singles he's ever put out besides "Lose Yourself".

Great mellow song I love it, good to see him apologising for Relapse, he knows he lowered his standard for that one.

HOOK

I'm not afraid to take a stand
Everybody come take my hand
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just let you know that, you're not alone
Hola if you feel that you've been down the same road

(Intro)

Yeah, It's been a ride...
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 trying to get out, just follow me
I'll get you there

(Verse 1)

You can try and read my lyrics off of this paper before I lay 'em
But you won't take this thing out these words before I say 'em
Cause ain't no way I'm let you stop me from causing mayhem
When I say 'em or do something I do it, I don't give a damn
What you think, I'm doing this for me, so f**k the world
Feed it beans, it's gassed up, if a thing's stopping me
I'mma 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 him why or how can he
From Infinite down to the last Relapse album he's still s**t and
Whether he's on salary, paid hourly
Until he bows out or he s**t's his bowels out of him
Whichever comes first, for better or worse
He's married to the game, like a f**k you for christmas
His gift is a curse, forget the earth he's got the urge
To pull his d*ck from the dirt and f**k the universe

(Hook)

I'm not afraid to take a stand
Everybody come take my hand
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just let you know that, you're not alone
Holla if you feel that you've been down the same road

(Verse 2)
Ok quit playin' with the scissors and s**t, 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 f**k your feelings, instead of getting crowned you're getting capped
And to the fans, I'll never let you down again, I'm back
I promise to never go back on that promise, in fact
Let's be honest, that last Relapse CD was "ehhhh"
Perhaps I ran them accents into the ground
Relax, I ain't going back to that now
All I'm tryna say is get back, click-clack BLAOW
Cause I ain't playin' around
There's a game called circle and I don't know how
I'm way too up to back down
But I think I'm still tryna figure this crap out
Thought I had it mapped out but I guess I didn't
This f**king black cloud's still follow's me around
But it's time to exercise these demons
These motherf**kers are doing jumping jacks now!

(Hook)

I'm not afraid to take a stand
Everybody come take my hand
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just let you know that, you're not alone
Holla if you feel that you've been down the same road

(Bridge)

And I just can't keep living this way
So starting today, I'm breaking out of this cage
I'm standing up, Imma face my demons
I'm manning up, Imma 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, believe me you
I been through the ringer, but they can do 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 focus soley on handling my responsibility's as a father
So I solemnly swear to always treat this roof like my daughters and raise it
You couldn't lift a single shingle lonely
‘Cause the way I feel, I’m strong enough to go to the club
Or the corner pub, and lift the whole liquor 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
(Hook)

I'm not afraid to take a stand
Everybody come take my hand
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just let you know that, you're not alone
Holla if you feel that you've been down the same road

The beat is pretty meh. Too pop anthemish, along with the crooning I aint feeling this at all. The only good to come from this really is him rapping. What he's saying doesn't belong on no bullshit like this. If he raps like this on the album ill be happy i just hope he stops singing and the beats are better

caught some of this on the radio yesterday - didnt get a proper listen. the chorus sounded kinda annoying, but the song in general and as a whole sounded quite serious and quite good. and it seems like for the first time he hasnt used a comical single mocking other people.

its good to hear that he dropped the "accent". :)

i guess he does listen to his fans n critisizms n such.... glad he dropped the accent... and he's still spitting like he used to... he's gotta be, if not one of, but the most talented rapper right now at this given moment.... i like alot of other rappers but without the accent EM's flow n lyrics r incredible
