Eminem - Not Afraid

I have a new found appreciation for Eminem. Not because he has broken free & is against the NWO/Illuminati but because he really makes good music now, he is more mature & aware. Anyways, he has this new song called "Not Afraid" which is directed at a particular person or group of people, the ones who tried to control him & turn him into someone else. His new song is all about waking people up & being a leader to lead them into the right direction, he is standing up to the "bad people" around him & is taking back the control over his life & career. The video is very symbolic, he starts off in a dark room, all alone, no windows no doors. He then sees a light coming through a small crack in the brick wall & so he breaks it down & the light pours in & he breaks free. Once he is free, he is walking down the street, where he sees his reflection in a car mirror, & his reflection is blurred, as if he is possessed by a demon (The Rain Man, whom he's referenced in some of his songs), he even speaks about exorcising his demons in the song, he then ends up being surrounded by smoke & mirrors, where he sees his reflection than the demonic reflection of him self in every mirror. He then runs & breaks through the mirrors. He then appears at a huge cliff & is thrown off of it, falling down into a hole in the ground, but at the last minute he finds the strength & power to fly himself out of the hole & it ends with him on the roof of a building over looking the city. He also wears a cross the whole time & looks up to the sky (God) a couple times as well. He has broken free & found God. Here are the lyrics to the song:
"Not Afraid"
[Intro (during Chorus):]
Yeah, it's been a ride
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 tryin to get out, just follow me
I'll get you there
[Chorus:]
I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid)
To take a stand (to take a stand)
Everybody (everybody)
Come take my hand (come take my hand)
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just lettin you know that, you're not alone
Holla if you feel like you've been down the same road (same road)
You could try and 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
Cause ain't no way I'ma let you stop me from causin mayhem
When I say '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 look down on me I'm tearin 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 shittin, whether he's on salary paid hourly
Until he bows out or he shits 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]
Okay 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 you're 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 ehhh
Perhaps I ran them accents into the ground
Relax, I ain't goin back to that now
All I'm tryin to say is get back, click-clack, blaow
Cause I ain't playin around
It'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 tryin to figure this crap out
Thought I had it mapped out but I guess I didn't, this fuckin black cloud
still follows, me around but it's time to exorcise these demons
These muh'fuckers are doin jumpin jacks now!
[Chorus]
And I just can't keep living this way
Sooo starting today, I'm breaking out of this caaaaage
I'm standing up, I'ma face my demons
I'm manning 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! (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 realize what you did, believe me you
I been through the ringer, but they could 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 lingers
No more drama from now on, I promise
to focus solely on handlin my responsibilities 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 on it!
Cause the way I feel, I'm strong enough to go to the club
or the corner pub, and lift the whole liquor counter up
Cause I'm raising the bar
I'll shoot for the moon but I'm too busy gazin at stars
I feel amazing and I'm

I'm glad to see him saying that he is sober now. He talking about staying clean and taking care of his family. I guess he reaching out to those who have dealt with addiction. I hope he stays on the right track. I hate to see people get their lives destroyed by drugs. I hope more of these celebrities can turn their lives around for the better.

Pop superstar Michael Jackson now owns the rights to portions of Eminem’s catalog as a result of his Sony/ATV Music Publishing company’s recent purchase of Famous Music LLC from Viacom. Through the deal, Jackson now controls the publishing rights to songs such as “Without Me” and “The Real Slim Shady” according to Reuters. Viacom announced the deal, which is estimated to be worth some $370 million, on Wednesday (May 30). Jackson and Sony/ATV now also own the rights to scores of hit songs from a number of artists including Shakira, and movie soundtracks such as The Godfather and Mission: Impossible. In 2004, Em famously enraged the pop legend when he parodied him in the video for his single “Just Lose It
Em is not afraid.
Lyrics in Lose Yourself about NWO:
(Verse 2)
This soul's escaping, through this hole that is gaping
This world is mine for the taking
Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order
A normal life is boring, but superstardom's close to post mortem

All you other Slim Shadys are just imitating
So won't the real Slim Shady please stand up,
please stand up, please stand up?'

here's the song. BEWARE: there is profanity in the song.

i think rihanna's chorus is VERY interesting
They say "new world order" in lots of songs, especially rap/hip hop ones
Bush Sr. said it, Gordon Brown said it at the G20.

JFK died because he didn't support the NWO:

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.""For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."PS...Bush Sr. creeps me out big time in that video!
Got another creep for you:
[youtube:2a0yy2j4]
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."Creeper for sure! He seems rehearsed... trying to make his voice sound sympathetic and harmless... doesn't change what he's actually saying though.
I also think that he may have sold his soul to the devil and when you do that it's too late.
Here is a quote from the song "My Darling", seems like the devil is talking to him...
"...
Shady listen ( FAGGOT ) you hear that ?
They screamin for you i can bring you carrer back!
But i dont want it back, Yes you!, No i dont!
Yes you do your gonna regret it later, No i wont!
I'ma get dre on the phone i'll just call the doctor
Go ahead i already talk to.. dre yesterday
Well i got him on the phone right now ( Slim? )
Your lieing ( Yo Slim? ) how ? Why now ?
What up dre ?
Check this out slim i gotta talk to you
I dunno it just seems like ever since you got off your
Drugs you became alot softer!
But Dre! all shady is, is a bottle of hair bleach and vodka!
Well just think about slim i'm here!
Just hit me back and let me know what's up ?
**** this mirror! Ahhhh!
i'm not in the mirror i'm inside you let me guide you!
**** you! Die you son-of-a-bitch!
Put the gun down! Bye bye!
(*gunshots* )
Ok im still alive! So am i too! you cant kill a spirt even if you tried too
You sold your soul to me need i remind you ?
You remember that night you
Prayed to god you'd give anything to get a record deal well dre signed you!
This is what you wanted your whole life marshall right boo?
Look at this house! look at these cars! i'm so nice ooooh!
Oh but you didn't know that fame has a price too ?
That your just now seeing the downside too!
Lose your bestfriend from high school your wife too!
Aint even sure if your kids like you!
Come off tour cant even sleep at night without night-quill
Think of the valium addicts start a rehab cycle
But together we can break the cycle
Marshall? WHAT!
No ones gonna love you like i do!"
About selling one's soul to the devil:
Katy Perry, Kanye West, Eminem, Snoop Dog, Bob Dylan sold their soul to the devil:

I realize you wrote this some time ago, but I had to comment because I too have often wondered if Michael is more in control of 'the game' than we realize and that, rather than being pawns of the dark side, these people are now merely exposing it.
Also, in the video, I noticed that Eminem breaks through a mirror not unlike MJ in TII's version of Smooth Criminal.
Err... <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? --> ...I don't think so...the devil is also a chief commander, momentarily on this earth, he has his own army too. In the video seems like he's talking of something that is known only in the music industry, a kind of dirty secret...unless he would've said God I think...he obviously couldn't tell the truth in my opinion but of course it's just speculation I cannot say that I'm 100% sure.
