标题：Not Afraid
简介
美国时间2010年4月29日上午，艾米纳姆（Eminem）新专辑《Recovery》的首支单曲《Not Afraid》在网上泄露。
单曲一经发行，2010年5月22日空降Billboard冠军，成为历史上第17首空降冠军单曲。
艾米纳姆本打算在这天早晨参加广播脱口秀《The Morning After With Angela Yee》并在节目中进行这支单曲的首播。但就在他参加节目的前几分钟，这支单曲已经出现在了互联网上供网友下载。之前纳姆的经纪人保罗·罗森博格（Paul Rosenberg）曾接受Billboard专访，表示《Not Afraid》是一支令人振奋的单曲，看来他没有撒谎。就泄露的歌词和曲调来看，单曲中的主人公对待生活比以前更加积极。在单曲的前奏部分以及最后的结束部分，姆爷反复唱到，“我从不畏惧表达我的立场，所有人都来跟我混，我们一起走，走过风暴，不管天气如何，不论冷暖，你都不会孤独，如果你和我同路也叫我一声！”(I'm not afraid to take a stand / everybody, come take my hand / we'll walk this road together, through the storm / whatever weather, cold or warm/just to let you know that, you're not alone/Holla if you feel that you've been down the same road )单曲的中间过渡部分，也有很多乐观向上的歌词。纳姆表示，这支单曲所表达的也是他自己的观点。 
《Not Afraid》收录在纳姆新专辑《Recovery》中，这张专辑将于2010年6月22日发行。

(Chorus)
I'm not afraid,to take a stand
everybody,come take my hand
we'll walk this road 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 road
(Intro)
Yeah, It's been a ride...
Yeh~
I guess i had to go to that place to get to this one
Now some of you might still be in that place
If you're trying to get out, just follow me
I'll get you there
(Verse 1)
You can try and read my lyrics off of this paper before I lay'em
but you won't take this thing out these words before I say'em
'cause ain't no way I'm let you stop me from causin' mayhem
when I say I'em or do somethin' I do it,I don't give a damn
what you think,I'm doin' this for me,so fuck the world feed it beans
it's gassed up if it thinks it's stoppin' me
I'ma be what I set out to be,without a doubt undoubtedly
and all those who looked down on me I'm tearin' down your balcony
no if,and's or buts,don't try to ask him why or how can he
from Infinite down to the last Relapse album he's
still shit and whether he's on salary paid hourly
until he bows out or he shit's his bowels out of him
whichever comes first,for better or worse
he's married to the game,like a'fuck you' for Christmas,his gift is a curse
forget the earth he's got the urge to pull his dick from the dirt
and fuck the whole universe
(Chorus)X1
(Verse 2)
Ok quit playin' with the scissors and shit and cut the crap
I shouldn't have to rhyme these words in the rhythm for you to know it's a rap
you said you was king,you lied through your teeth-for that
fuck your feelings,instead of gettin' crowned your gettin' capped
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 ehh
perhaps I ran them accents into the ground,relax
I ain't goin' back to that now
all I'm tryna say is get back,click-clack-blaow
cause I ain't playin' around,there's a game called circle and I don't know how
I'm way too up to back down
but I think I'm still tryna figure this crap out
thought I had it mapped out,but I guess I didn't,this fuckin' black could's
still follows me around 
but it's time to exercise these demons
these motherfuckers are doing jumpin' jacks now
(Chorus)×1
(Bridge)
And I just can't keep livin' this way,so starting today
I'm breaking out of this cage 
I'm standin' up I'ma face my demons I'm mannin' up,I'ma hold my ground
I've had enough,now I'm so fed up,time to put my life back together right now
(Verse 3)
It was my decision to get clean,I did it for me-admittedly
I probably did it subliminally
for you,so I could come back a brand new me,you helped see me through
and don't even realize what you did,cause believe me you
I've been through the wringer,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,no more brief lingers
no more drama
from now on,I promise to focus solely on handlin' my responsibility's as a father
so I solemnly swear to always treat this roof like my daughters 
and raise it,you couldn't lift a single shingle only
cause the way I feel,I'm strong enough to go to the club put the corner pub
and lift the whole liquor counter up
cause I'm raising the bar ,I'd shoot for the moon,but I'm too busy gazin' at stars,I feel amazin' and I'm not...
(Chorus)×1
