Lyrics with anotations

The reason i've used this as a form of planning over conventional methods is because of the animated nature of the video and reliavley low number of varied shot types that will actually be filmed because the focus of the videos appeal are the animated sections that surround the artist and coincide with the lyrics.

[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
Hola if you feel that you’ve been down the same road

[Intro]
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 trying to get out, just follow me
I’ll get you there

(Intro and first chorus an EKG style lien across the screen, white line on a black background also the first 17 seconds of the intro will be cut so it starts from "if your tryign to get out")



[Verse 1]
You can 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’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 f-ck the world
Feed it beans, it’s gassed up, if a thinks its 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 sh*ttin,
Whether he’s on salary, paid hourly
Until he battles out or he sh*t just battles out of him
Whichever comes first, for better or worse
He’s married to the game, like a f*ck you for Christmas
His gift is a curse, forget the earth he’s got the urge
To pull his d*ck from the dirt and f*ck the whole Universe

(Verse 1 starts with the EKG line widening and taking out all the black space then scrawled writing begins to appear all around the artist and parts of him begin to be drawn over as he say’s “me” then he becomes fully drawn and the words in the background become ME in big letters either side of his head, towards the end of the verse when he mentions Christmas a present appears that a snake rises out of and surrounds him covering the screen in black)





[Chorus]

(On the now black background sketchy white highlights are drawn a child stands before a monster or snake of some kind and the words not afraid appear above its head)



[Verse 2]
Ok quit playin’ with the scissors and sh*t, 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 f*ck 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 f*cking black cloud still follow’s me around
But it’s time to exercise these demons
These motherf*kers are doing jumping jacks now!

(After the black of the chorus has faded, then we’re back to the drawn performer at a med. close up. When he mentions teeth his own mouth and teeth enlarge and bite down on a crown between here and the line about the gun it will be a sketchy draw over of the performance until the gun line where a gun appears at his temple on one side and shoots and confetti blows out of the other side. As he says “there’s a game called circle” lines and squiggles begin to build up behind him then form in to a map that gets more complex until the point it turns in to a swirling mess along with the words “black cloud”)







[Chorus]

(the screen is now black again for the chorus, different imagery this time out lines of people heading towards the camera reaching out.)



[Bridge]
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

(in the bridge the camera moves to a longer shot so there’s more room, a cage is on one side with the performer facing it a monster swells up breaking the cage, performer reaches out and sends a blast of white light in to the monster cleaning the screen)



[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 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 solely 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 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 shoot for the moon
But I’m too busy gazing at stars, I feel amazing and

(Verse 3 will be more subdued the tear down his cheek will be heavily emphasised and an outline of a heart will be on his chest beating and towards the end of the verse the heart grows and bursts in to a black screen with white stars and planets to set up a screen for the chorus)





[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 that you’ve been down the same road

(final chorus he is drawn in white and hands reach for him, touch him not grab but gently reach.)
