Eminem - Careful What You Wish For |
| [00:59.17] |
|
| [01:00.17] |
So this is it, this is what I've wished for |
| [01:02.88] |
Just isn't how I invisioned it, fame to the point of imprisonment |
| [01:07.08] |
I just thought the shit'da be different |
| [01:08.94] |
But something changed the minute that I got a whiff of it |
| [01:11.87] |
I started to inhale it, smell it, started sniffing it |
| [01:14.94] |
And it became my cocaine, I just couldn't quit |
| [01:17.85] |
I just wanted a little bit, then it turned me to monster |
| [01:21.26] |
I became a hypocrite, concert after concert |
| [01:24.38] |
I was raking in the dough, rolling in green |
| [01:26.99] |
Had the game hemmed up, like a sewing machine |
| [01:29.79] |
But I was losing my freedom, there was nowhere for me |
| [01:32.67] |
To not go and be seen, and just go and be me |
| [01:35.56] |
And there was no inbetween, you either loved it or hated |
| [01:38.51] |
Every CD, critics gave it a three, then three |
| [01:41.49] |
years later, they go back and rerate it |
| [01:43.91] |
And called The Slim Shady LP the greatest |
| [01:46.42] |
The Marshall Mathers was a classic |
| [01:48.39] |
The Eminem Show was fantastic |
| [01:50.51] |
But Encore just didn't have the caliber to match it |
| [01:53.35] |
I guess enough time just ain't passed yet |
| [01:55.56] |
A couple more years, that shit'll be Illmatic |
| [01:58.38] |
And 8 years later I'm still at it |
| [02:00.60] |
Divorced, remarried, a felon, a father, sleeping pill addict |
| [02:04.70] |
And this is real talk, I feel like the Incredible Hulk |
| [02:07.54] |
My back has been broken, I can still walk |
| [02:09.00] |
|
| [02:10.00] |
So be careful what you wish for |
| [02:12.10] |
Cause you just might get it |
| [02:13.81] |
And if you get it then you just might not know |
| [02:16.85] |
What to do with it cause it might just come back on you 10 fold! |
| [02:20.43] |
|
| [02:21.43] |
I said be careful what you wish for |
| [02:23.73] |
Cause you just might get it |
| [02:25.40] |
And if you get it, then you just might not know |
| [02:28.52] |
What to do with it cause it might just come back on you 10 fold! |
| [02:32.04] |
|
| [02:33.04] |
I got a letter from a fan that said, he's been praying for me |
| [02:36.70] |
Everyday and for some reason it's been weighing on my mind heavy |
| [02:40.27] |
Cause I don't read every letter I get |
| [02:42.62] |
But something told me to go ahead and open it |
| [02:45.09] |
But, why would someone pray for you when they dont know you |
| [02:47.92] |
You didn't pray for me when I was local |
| [02:50.15] |
And as I lay these vocals, I think of all the shit I had to go through |
| [02:53.84] |
Just to get to where I'm at, I've already told you |
| [02:56.52] |
At least, a thousand times in these rhymes |
| [02:58.62] |
I appreciate the prayer, but I've already got god on my side |
| [03:02.16] |
and its been one hell of a ride, hasnt it? |
| [03:04.41] |
Just watching it, from an opposite's stand point |
| [03:07.03] |
Man, boy it's got to look, nuts |
| [03:09.24] |
And thats the only word I can think of right now |
| [03:12.35] |
On how to describe this shit |
| [03:14.35] |
This is like a vibe you get it, go ahead and vibe to it |
| [03:17.21] |
Just watch what you wish for, cause I got the shit! |
| [03:19.17] |
|
| [03:20.17] |
So be careful what you wish for |
| [03:21.97] |
Cause you just might get it |
| [03:23.64] |
And if you get it then you just might not know |
| [03:26.69] |
What to do with it cause it might just come back on you 10 fold! |
| [03:30.20] |
|
| [03:31.20] |
I said be careful what you wish for |
| [03:33.57] |
Cause you just might get it |
| [03:35.18] |
And if you get it, then you just might not know |
| [03:38.39] |
What to do with it cause it might just come back on you 10 fold! |
