Viewing lyrics for Not Afraid by DC.

[DC]
Dear Eminem, I bid no disrespect,
Forgive me if I don’t live up to your level of intellect,
I’m just tryna get my respect, so these fans will never forget,
The talent I think I possess, I feel it deep inside my chest,

I think I need to keep on going,
I’m never slowing down,
I gotta pick up my rowing,
If I feel I’m gonna drown,

Gotta get my thoughts up out of me,
For everyone who doubted me,
I promise to be me cuz,
Who I am is what I vow to be,

Hope my mom is proud of me, hope my dad is proud of me,
I hope to get them a view of the ocean from the balcony,
I’m rappin’ with a strategy, passin’ through the tragedy,
Of everybody else being what they were told they had to be,

The mic I hold it happily, I try to grow the apple seed,
Into an apple tree to a height the whole world would have to see,
I hate when people lie to me, I hate when they decide to be,
Whatever they’re not, when famous is what they try to be,

To me that’s kinda scary, but the crown is never secondary,
I’d wear it like a King, on the 6th of January,
Rap, hip-hop, and R&B, sing it the three ways,
It’s no wonder I was born on 3 Kings day.

Now back to Eminem, he’s such an inspiration,
To me and anybody else who needed motivation,
To anyone who wants to be great in this generation,
To get in what you set out to get and make it through the patience,

First they told him that he wouldn’t,
Then he wrote what he’s written,
When they told him he couldn’t,
He showed them when he did it,

So by that, I know I’m gonna find my purpose in this world,
Just as sure as I know that I’ll find that perfect type girl,

Forgive me baby if I ever hurt your feelings,
But the only thing I ever did was write what I’ve been feelin’,
So with this I turn the page, go into a different age,
Hope I’m never filled with rage, though I know I’ll feel the pain,

Never try to stay the same, I’m unique in every way,
Fans, I got somethin’ to prove, in everything I say,
So to God is who I praise, to God is who I pray,
That in whatever I do, I will never be afraid.

While I’m On My Way.
