F/A: x03210
[Chorus]
Am F/A
I'm not afraid to take a stand
C G
Everybody come take my hand
Am
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
F/A
Whatever weather, cold or warm
C
Just let you know that, you're not alone
G
Holla if you feel that you've been down the same road
[Verse]
Am
You can try and read my lyrics off of this paper before I lay 'em
F/A
But you won't take the sting out these words before I say 'em
C
Cause ain't no way Imma let you stop me from causing mayhem
G
When I say Imma do something I do it, I don't give a damn
Am
What you think, I'm doing this for me, so fuck the world
F/A
Feed it beans, it's gassed up, if it thinks it's stopping me
C
Imma be what I set out to be, without a doubt undoubtedly
G
And all those who look down on me I'm tearing down your balcony
Am
No if ands or buts don't try to ask him why or how can he
F/A
From Infinite down to the last Relapse album he's still
C
Shit, and whether he's on salary, paid hourly
G
Until he bows out or he shits his bowels out of him
Am
Whichever comes first, for better or worse
F/A
He's married to the game, like a fuck you for Christmas
C
His gift is a curse, forget the earth he's got the urge
G
To pull his dick from the dirt and fuck the whole universe
[Chorus]
Am F/A
I'm not afraid to take a stand
C G
Everybody come take my hand
Am
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
F/A
Whatever weather, cold or warm
C
Just let you know that, you're not alone
G
Holla if you feel that you've been down the same road
[Verse]
Am
Ok quit playin' with the scissors and shit, and cut the crap
F/A
I shouldn't have to rhyme these words in the rhythm for you to know it's a rap
C
You said you was king, you lied through your teeth
G
For that fuck your feelings, instead of getting crowned you're getting capped
Am
And to the fans, I'll never let you down again, I'm back
F/A
I promise to never go back on that promise, in fact
C
Let's be honest, that last Relapse CD was "ehhhh"
G
Perhaps I ran them accents into the ground
Am
Relax, I ain't going back to that now
F/A
All I'm tryna say is get back, click-clack BLAOW
C
Cause I ain't playin' around, it's a game called circle and I don't know how
G
I'm way too up to back down
Am
But I think I'm still tryna figure this crap out
F/A
Thought I had it mapped out but I guess I didn't
C
This fucking black cloud still follows me around, but it's time to exorcise these demons
G
These motherfuckers are doing jumping jacks now!
[Chorus]
Am F/A
I'm not afraid to take a stand
C G
Everybody come take my hand
Am
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
F/A
Whatever weather, cold or warm
C
Just let you know that, you're not alone
G
Holla if you feel that you've been down the same road
[Bridge]
F
And I just can't keep living this way
C G
So starting today, I'm breaking out of this cage
Am
I'm standing up, Imma face my demons
F
I'm manning up, Imma hold my ground
C
I've had enough, now I'm so fed up
G
Time to put my life back together right now
[Verse]
Am
It was my decision to get clean, I did it for me
F/A
Admittedly I probably did it subliminally for you
C
So I could come back a brand new me, you helped see me through
G
And don't even realise what you did, believe me you
Am
I been through the ringer, but they can do little to the middle
F/A
Finger, I think I got a tear in my eye, I feel like
C
The king of, my world, haters can make like bees with no
G
Stingers, and drop dead, no more bee flingers
Am
No more drama from now on, I promise to focus soley
F/A
On handling my responsibilities as a father
C
So I solemnly swear to always treat this roof like my daughters
G
And raise it, you couldn't lift a single shingle on it
Am
Cause the way I feel, I'm strong enough to go to the club
F/A
Or a corner pub and lift the whole liquor counter up
C
Cause I'm raising the bar, I'd shoot for the moon
G
But I'm too busy gazing at stars, I feel amazing and
[Chorus]
Am F/A
I'm not afraid to take a stand
C G
Everybody come take my hand
Am
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
F/A
Whatever weather, cold or warm
C
Just let you know that, you're not alone
G
Holla if you feel that you've been down the same road
