EminemвЂ™s drug addiction became strong when his best friend, DeShaun (aka Proof) died. вЂњThat placeвЂќ refers to his вЂcageвЂ™ and period of drug-addled depression, which inspired his rebirth. If youвЂ™re trying to get out, just follow me Now some of you might still be in that place I guess I had to go to that place to get to this one WeвЂ™ll focus on the hook further on, but for now letвЂ™s take a look at the intro lyrics: The music video starts with the hook playing over the intro lyrics. This is saying to everyone who has stuck with him that he got clean and recognized that he needs to change his life One line in 'not afraid' is '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 dont even realize what you did'.

This song is symbolic to his whole album because of his attitude being more upbeat but still recognizing he has a lot of problems in his life that he needs to fix.

'Not Afraid' was his first single off of the album recovery. If you listen to his previous album 'relapse' you can def. In rehab, he continued to write but he was mainly self loathing. Eminem stopped rapping and checked himself in to rehab. Eminem hit rock bottom after Proof was murdered and em's drug problem became worse. A few years later, his best friend (proof) was shot to death at a club in Detroit. During this time, he was battling a drug addiction and his relationship with his family was torn. I think that Eminem is taking his fans back to 2005 when his album Encore came out. That they were being foold all along even some presidents and x presidents n govrs too have join in the illuminati well I could go on about this and even show you written documents of things to prove what I'm sayin but still I can't make u bel To do what he wants them to lik lie cheat steAl etc and so on and so forth he also try's to decve u by making a deal to give u everything that most people want lik money fame and all that bullshyt but in case u dont kno eminem is not the first to join the illuminati but he has been in it longer then lil Wayne n TI which he tells them that in anthr song from the relaps album my pOint is that at first when u join the illuminati u sell ur soul to the devIl in exchange for what u want in return n yea it works but not forever lik Satan promises you it will n they begin to see that after a while that he was luring to hem just get wat he wants their souls and Alot of new artist and ppl not just artist believe the promise for everlasting youth life money fame n so on but it takes time for them to realize. Says and how he says it believe me or not why don't u do ur own research on all of his songs he has one where he actually says he was in the illuminati also the reason y he sold his soul to the devil was bc Satan tricks u n says that he will give u anything andД®verything and want if u just giv him ur soul bc Satan wants to be more powerful then god and receive more of people's souls bc to Satan by gettin more people. Illuminati if you actually listen to the song carefully and try to figure out what he's really trying to tell u its all In his songs u really have. I definitely know he is talking about him breaking Out of the.
