Rapper, Eminem is taking an uplifting new direction with his new single. Eminem has just had his latest single 'Not Afraid' leaked to the internet. Unlike most of Eminem's first single releases, the record doesn't diss any pop icons, doesn't jab at any politicians or current events, instead the record seems remorseful, reflective and dare we say - remorseful. "It's been a ride, I guess I had to go to that place to get to this one. Some of you might still be in that place. If you trying to get out, follow me," he says, talking at the beginning of "Not Afraid' (Lyrics). As the raps starts to kick in, Em threatens to "tear down" those who looked down on him. "You can try to read my lyrics off of this paper before I lay 'em/ But you won't take the sting out these words before I say 'em. "I'm not afraid/ To take a stand," he continues on the chorus. "Everybody come take my hand/ We'll walk this road together through the storm/ Whatever weather come the war/ Just letting you know that you're not alone/ Holla if you feel been down the same road." On the second verse, Eminem admits to some artistic missteps and declares that his last album, Relapse, was a bit of letdown. "To the fans, I never let you down again, I'm back/ I promise to never go back on that promise," the MC says in the song's second verse. "In fact, let's be honest/ That last Relapse CD was ehh/ Perhaps I ran them accents into the ground/ Relax, I ain't going to do that now." Later in the verse, Eminem talks about his personal struggles. "But I think I'm still trying to figure this crap out/ Thought I had it mapped out, but I guess I didn't/ It's time to exorcise these demons / These muthaf---as are doing jumping jacks now." As the song comes to a close, Eminem says he doesn't want any more drama and wants to focus on raising his family. "I can't just keep living this way," he sings. "So starting today, I'm breaking out of this cage / I'm standing up, I'mma face my demons/ I'm manning up, I'mma hold my ground/ I've had enough, I'm so fed up/ Time to put my life back together right now." We know that Eminem has to diss somebody on his records, but to diss himself, that's another first for Hip-Hop.
