《Not Afraid》创作背景
《Not Afraid》主要由加拿大的嘻哈音乐人Boi-1da制作，Mike Strange负责歌曲的录制工作。埃米纳姆想用歌曲来告诉大家他是如何度过2005年到2007年的低谷时期的，包括走出失去挚友普鲁夫的阴影以及克服用药和康复过程中的困难 。
正式录制歌曲之前，Boi-1da寄给了Mike Strange几个埃米纳姆制作的伴奏。之后，Mike Strange用PRO tools将伴奏改编，他将其他的乐器加入了副歌和过渡段。埃米纳姆对Mike Strange的改编很满意，于是进入录音室对歌曲进行了调整。之后路易斯·雷斯托制作的伴奏也加入了歌中 。
《Not Afraid》歌曲歌词
英文
Not Afraid - Eminem
I'm not afraid to take a stand
Everybody come take my hand I guess
We'll walk this road together' through the storm
Whatever weather' cold or warm
Just let you know that' you're not alone
Hola if you feel that you've been down the same road
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 causing mayhem
When I say 'em or do something I do it' I don't give a damn
What you think' I'm doing this for me' so fuck the world
Feed it beans' it's gassed up' if a thing's stopping me
I'mma be what I set out to be' without a doubt undoubtedly
And all those who look down on me I'm tearing down your balcony
No if ands 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 universe
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 that you've been down the same road
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 getting crowned you're getting 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 "ehhhh"
Perhaps I ran them accents into the ground
Relax' I ain't going 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 fucking black cloud's still follow's me around
But it's time to exercise these demons
These motherfuckers are doing jumping jacks now!
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 that you've been down the same road
And I just can't keep living this way
So starting today' I'm breaking out of this cage
I'm standing up' Imma face my demons
I'm manning up' Imma hold my ground
I've had enough' now I'm so fed up
Time to put my life back together right now
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 realise what you did' believe me you
I been through the ringer' 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 beef flingers' no more drama from now on' I promise
To focus soley on handling 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 lonely
Cause the way I feel' I'm strong enough to go to the club
Put a ??? and lift the whole liquor counter up
Cause I'm raising the bar' I shoot for the moon
But I'm too busy gazing at stars' I feel amazing and
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 that you've been down the same road

《Not Afraid》歌曲MV
MV于2010年6月7日发布。理查德·李担任导演。
MV开头，埃米纳姆站在纽约曼哈顿市政大楼的楼顶鸟瞰城市，之后又转入一个地下室，于是镜头就在这两个地点之间转换。第一段之后，埃米纳姆走在街上，穿越了来往不停的车辆，发现越走出现了越多的镜子，他迷失了方向，最后他冲破了镜子“逃脱”了出去，同时地下室的一堵墙也被埃米纳姆打破。在街的前方，埃米纳姆发现路已经变成一个巨大的坑，如同末日，埃米纳姆跳了下去，突然他飞起来了，最后以超人的速度飞到了曼哈顿市政大楼的楼顶 。
