[Intro]
---------------------
Cm
Yeah
Abmaj7
It's been a ride
Eb
I guess I had to
Bb
Go to that place to get to this one
Cm
Now some of you
Might still be in that place
Abmaj7
If you're tryna get out
Eb Bb
Just follow me, I'll get you there
[Verse 1]
---------------------
Cm
You can try and read my lyrics off of this paper before I lay 'em
Abmaj7
But you won't take the sting out these words before I say 'em
Eb
'Cause ain't no way I'ma let you stop me from causin' mayhem
Bb
When I say I'ma do somethin', I do it
Cm
I don't give a damn what you think, I'm doin' this for me
Abmaj7
So fuck the world, feed it beans, it's gassed up if it thinks it's stoppin' me
Eb
I'ma be what I set out to be, without a doubt, undoubtedly
Bb
And all those who look down on me, I'm tearin' down your balcony
Cm
No ifs, ands or buts, don't try to ask him why or how can he
Abmaj7
From Infinite down to the last Relapse album
Eb
He's still shittin' whether he's on salary, paid hourly
Bb
Until he bows out or he shits his bowels out of him
Cm
Whichever comes first, for better or worse
He's married to the game
Abmaj7
Like a "fuck you" for Christmas, his gift is a curse
Eb
Forget the Earth, he's got the urge to pull his dick from the dirt
Bb
And fuck the whole universe
[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
Cm
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
Abmaj7
To take a stand, to take a stand
Eb
Everybody, everybody
Bb
Come take my hand, come take my hand/We'll
Cm
walk this road together, through the storm
Abmaj7
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Eb
Just lettin' you know that you're not alone
Bb
Holla if you feel like you've
[Verse 2]
---------------------
Cm
Okay, quit playin' with the scissors and shit, and cut the crap
Abmaj7
I shouldn't have to rhyme these words in a rhythm for you to know it's a wrap
Eb
You said you was king, you lied through your teeth
Bb
For that, fuck your feelings, instead of gettin' crowned, you're gettin' capped
Cm
And to the fans, I'll never let you down again, I'm back
Abmaj7
I promise to never go back on that promise
Eb
In fact, let's be honest, that last Relapse CD was "ehh"
Bb
Perhaps I ran them accents into the ground
Cm
Relax, I ain't goin' back to that now
Abmaj7
All I'm tryna say is get back, click clack blaow!
Eb
'Cause I ain't playin' around
There's a game called circle and I don't know how
Bb
I'm way too up to back down
Cm
But I think I'm still tryna figure this crap out
Abmaj7
Thought I had it mapped out, but I guess I didn't
Eb
This fuckin' black cloud still follows me around
But it's time to exorcise these demons
Bb
These motherfuckers are doin' jumpin' jacks now
[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
Cm
I'm not afraid
Abmaj7
To take a stand, to take a stand
Eb
Everybody, everybody
Bb
Come take my hand, come take my hand/We'll
Cm
walk this road together, through the storm
Abmaj7
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Eb
Just lettin' you know that you're not alone
Bb Cm
Holla if you feel like you've been down the same road
[Bridge]
---------------------
Abmaj7
And I just can't keep livin' this way
Eb
So startin' today
Bb
I'm breakin' out of this cage
Cm
I'm standin' up, I'ma face my demons
Abmaj7
I'm mannin' up, I'ma hold my ground
Eb
I've had enough, now I'm so fed up
Bb
Time to put my life back together right now
[Verse 3]
---------------------
Cm
It was my decision to get clean, I did it for me
Abmaj7
Admittedly I probably did it subliminally for you
Eb
So I could come back a brand new me, you helped see me through
Bb
And don't even realize what you did, believe me, you
Cm
I've been through the wringer
Abmaj7
But they can do little to the middle finger
Eb
I think I got a tear in my eye, I feel like the king of
Bb
My world, haters can make like bees with no stingers
And drop dead: no more beef lingers
Cm
No more drama from now on
Abmaj7
I promise to focus solely on handlin' my responsibilities as a father
Eb Bb
So I solemnly swear to always treat this roof like my daughters and raise it
You couldn't lift a single shingle on it
Cm
'Cause the way I feel, I'm strong enough to go to the club
Abmaj7
Or the corner pub and lift the whole liquor counter up
Eb
'Cause I'm raisin' the bar, I'd shoot for the moon
Bb
But I'm too busy gazin' at stars, I feel amazin', and
[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
Cm
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
Abmaj7
To take a stand, to take a stand
Eb
Everybody, everybody
Bb
Come take my hand, come take my hand/We'll
Cm
walk this road together, through the storm
Abmaj7
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Eb
Just lettin' you know that you're not alone
Bb Cm
Holla if you feel like you've been down the same road
