Eminem: Not Afraid Meaning
Song Released: 2010
Not Afraid Lyrics
I’m not afraid to take a stand
Everybody come take my hand
Let's walk together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just let you know that, you’re not alone
Holla if you feel like you’ve been down the same...

I believe that the beginning of the first verse is Slim Shady speaking, or his rapping persona. It talks of how he beat everyone's expectations and overcame everyone who was "looking down on him". But towards the end it sounds more like Marshall talking about how Slim Shady is the worst part of him."He's married to the game" meaning that he is never able to put his career on hold and spend time with his family. "His gift is a curse" meaning that the fame and fortune that Shady brought him has torn him away from his family.
The second verse follows the same pattern. The first majority of it describes his success as a musical artist and how he promised to never let his fans down, but that was Slim Shady talking. When Marshall comes to realize that he had no idea what he got himself into, he sings "But I think I'm still trying to figure this crap out
Thought I had it mapped out but I guess I didn't" and he also says that it's "time to exorcise these demons" which is further reference to the fact that he believes that Slim Shady is the worst part of him.
In the bridge, it is simply setting the tone for the next verse. The tone being that he is ready to give up what he always wanted as a child and is ready to be a part of his family again.
In the final verse, he continually talks about someone, most likely his daughter, that drove him to become a better person. I believe that as he says "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" is Marshall saying that he could care less what people think of him when he gives up his career to "focus soley on handling my responsibility's as a father". -

This song is about Marshall getting over his addiction.When he was a kid he did not have it easy.He also sings about him raising his daughters.He explained that getting over his drug addiction was not easy.Marshall did not also make some good choices with his family.In this song he basically realizes how lucky he is and how far is has gotten away from his addiction. MARSHALL IS MY RAP SAVIOR

This is unlike any other Eminem songs, it is somehow motivating, but it is a masterpiece. Some people claim that he was Illuminati and left before he released this song, but I don't believe that. That is mainly because of his life, he's got a lot of fans (this might make you suspect that he's Illuminati) but also he has dealt with many terrible things throughout his life. When he started out as a white rapper, he was not popular, and he didn't get his first award until 1999 (1992 was his first records deal). There are many other artists who get real popular without striving a bit.
He's repeatedly said that he didn't worship the Devil (e.g. single "Still Don't Give a Fuck") and yet people still doubt him. Of course he has many obscene and violent lyrics which people may consider satanic, but they don't represent his true identity. Hold on, his lyrics are anti-gay, right? How can an Illuminati be anti-gay?
The song Not Afraid is not concerned with satanic things, but rather personal things (remember he has had an unpleasant life).
EMINEM WAS NEVER AND ISN'T AN ILLUMINATI OR A SATANIST. -

Eminem begans by saying that his lyrics wont deliver the message without him reading it out to us. He goes on to talk about how he being a white beat all odds and rose uo to the top in Rapping ...but it all came with a price;his family. Eminem continues to talk about the battle between the two parts of himself Marshall Mathers and Slim Shady and how this is affecting his family life. Everything comes at a price
