Not Afraid Lyrics

[Chorus]
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...

    This song is about him taking a stand to the illumanti. He is saying that he is not afraid to die. He screwed up his life Doing that. He should have never sold his soul to the devil. Thats Why in The song when he says everybody come take my hand will walk this road together through the storms whatever weather, cold or warm to let you know that your not alone. Holla if you fell like you been down the same road. I can't keep living this way so starting today I'm breaking out of this cage. I'm manning up. I'm gonna hold my ground. He is definitly saying that the illumanti is coming to kill him and he's going to try to kill all of dem m fr's.

    if you say you are a true eminem fan you would know he is talkin about the satanic group illuminati which contains lil wayne birdman jayz mobb deep now kanye diddy etc few tried to fight bck against them like 2pac reason why he calls himself killuminati pimpc in which he was gonna expose there homosexual satanic ways to the whole world he later died by "suicide" but if you knew pimp c he had 2-3 kids and a wife and he was in the peak of his career others where micheal jackson he was apart of illuminati but he did not like the way they made him put subliminal messages about the devil in his songs if you know illuminati you know that there "logo" is an open eye the triangle jayz throws up with the eye in it and mj was dancing in {they dont really care about us}in which he was dancing in front of the eye which signifies they are watching everything he does also read the lyrics. EM was saying that he will fight illuminati bcuz they perform in secrecy just the fact that im telling you this dampens there power just the fact ppl know how they operate dampens there power dont stay in the dark know your power tell everyone you know about the illuminati as long as we know they can not secede research know there plan look around listenn think outside the box belive half of what you here play back obamas yes we can speech play back jayz songs byonce songs lil wayne songs rihanna songs ppl it is not a joke

    Its about the illuminati. When he's trapped in the mirrors its like being trapped in a lie, everything you see in a mirror is a lie, when you look in a mirror your brain gets fooled into thinking there is something on the other side, says my science teacher anyway... And he breaks out, like he's breaking out of the illuminati! good for you eminem!

    It's about the Illuminati!

    And how he's "not afraid", over all the other Illuminati idiots like gaga, "to take a stand", to stand up to the Illuminati

    and this is why, eminem4life

    He is talking about the illuminati especially when he is saying the "relapse cd was ehh" since he did not write this album the illuminati did and also when he says "relax i aint going back to that now" and doing the pyramid symbol symbolising he is getting out of the illuminati. It is all infront of your eyes people.

    Whoever keeps posting that eminem is talking about the illuminati you're an idiot.

    The song is about him changing his life around. making up for all the shit he's done to himself and his family.

    the demons he refers to is the drugs. He also stats that he realizes that his relapse album wasn't that good.

    He then goes on to explain that he's no longer gonna listen to the critics and start being there for Hailey and Laney.

    Eventually eminem is gonna retire from rap because he doesn't want to deal with all the shit.

    I strongly agree that he is talking about illuminati. When he talk about exercising these demons and how they are sitting back and doing jumping jacks. I think he is referring to the people who are behind the illuminati. I believe he is trying to tell us that its time for us to WAKE UP!!! Look up the illuminati up. It some crazy stuff that get you thinking.

    I think it's a great song about him taking a stand on his life.. Getting clean, Being there for his kids, Not falling back into the drama life of everything he went through when he was younger and becoming a celebrity. He had to hit rock bottom before he could realize it and get to where he is now.
    (It's been a ride...
    I guess I had to go to that place to get to this one)

    Awsome! I hope he has faced those demons that he talks about and can be the person he wants to be for his girls and for himself.

    I also agree with the other posts he is trying to let people know they are NOT alone and they too can get through this and that he will be there for his fans and put everything he has into his music unlike the last record:
    (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")

    I for one am glad he is back and this album shows a lot of passion!

    we all know about Marshall Matters life, and history, and for me to understand the song "not afraid" is to learn that he's tired of his old life, mistake and dark past. he wants a new shot at life, for his kids, his future, rapping for Eminem is like writting a poem for a poete. its his way to express himself towards himself, his fans and daughters. and what he's doing is mature and best for everyone, especially his career

    Hes obviously standing up to the illuminati. Hes not afraid to take a chance everybody (all the music industry) come take my hand.
    also, Marshall is saying, imma be what I set out to be(when he first became a singer and not illuminati. Imma fight my demons means hes standing up to satan and leaving the illuminati.

    It's obviously about how he beat his addiction to alcohol.

    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 raising the bar

    He's referring to how he's strong enough to be around alcohol without being tempteed.
