Not Afraid

Okay, I'm not a big fan of rap, however there are always exceptions aren't there. One of my friends has converted me for this particular song, 'Not Afraid'  by Eminem and to be honest, I don't know anything about him except that he is a rap singer.

Despite the heaps of swearing in the song, I absolutely love the chorus, and find the song as a whole, really motivational.

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 letting you know that you're not alone
Holler if you feel like you've been down the same road

And when you are 2:40 in, the bridge is so good! Despite being not a fan of rap, I've never claimed to hate the genre, I just hate the really swear-y, sexist, racist rap, but it's songs like this one that, yeah it has swearing, however it is sending out a really good message. 'Not Afraid' is saying to stay strong and that you can do anything you want, if you work hard and not let anyone put you down. "Facing demons" and to "stand your ground" and that we're all together in this. Anyway, now this song has become one of my "yeah, I can do this!" songs. 

Be warned, that this has strong swearing, sorry- and I don't mean to offend anyone by it
