Eminem - The Apple |
|
I'm a little nutty and I know it |
|
but if you go back and take a look at my history |
|
you will see that I'm not the only one who's off his rocker |
|
there were many before me |
|
I was always labelled the black sheep of the family |
|
what a bad seed I grow to be |
|
but if you take a look at us now |
|
you'll see the apple didn't fall too far from the tree |
|
(haha) |
|
alright, look |
|
I'ma tell you the story from my side |
|
maybe you'll understand |
|
check it out |
|
you done witnessed unexplainable shit |
|
too insane to explain |
|
people run from what the just don't get |
|
maybe Shady shoulda just hit 'em with a little bit |
|
did I spit too soon? Should I of spoon fed 'em it? |
|
but I was just so eager to prove I was even worth |
|
being in the same league or the room with |
|
of the people of whom I was in |
|
every now and then I look up like I was seeking approval |
|
was it because of the pigment of my skin |
|
or was it a figment of my imagination |
|
maybe it bothered me more than it did them |
|
maybe it wasn't a big deal back then |
|
but to me it was, see what it was was |
|
I had developed the complex from being judged |
|
Proof spit his verse, now I'm next, let's see who |
|
I'm in the booth staring back to see who's mugs |
|
I get a reaction from, usually the first thumb was from Proof |
|
and the rest of the group backed him up |
|
and no one lied to each other cause none of us had deals |
|
it was real, we just wanted tickets for that meal |
|
Sometimes I feel like it's just me |
|
sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy |
|
but take a look at my family |
|
cause the apple don't fall too far from the tree |
|
I said... |
|
sometimes I feel like it's just me |
|
sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy |
|

|

|
Ever since my mother was pregnant |
|
with her second egg cause she said |
|
that I had a baby sister who fell out of the window |
|
I was too young to remember |
|
Kansas City projects |
|
I was like 5, 6, and how come |
|
I remember Malcolm, Isaac, and Boogie |
|
if it was the projects in Missouri? |
|
cause those're my best friends until Isaac |
|
took my tricycle and my uncle Todd went to try to go get it back |
|
and ended up getting jumped and cut in the gut with a switch and 70-some stitches |
|
which is still, to this day |
|
why my mother still tries to show me some old fake picture |
|
of a fictitious little sister who never existed |
|
and this is why part of my life's so twisted |
|
but I can never be as sick as that bitch is |
|
and, by the way, that picture's one of my relatives |
|
Sometimes I feel like it's just me |
|
sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy |
|
but take a look at my family |
|

|
You probably have to peel back layers upon layers of pain |
|
to see why everything I say is so insane |
|
what's different about my brain |
|
that separates me from other players in this game? |
|
on the surface, it may seem like a scheme |
|
or some sort of scam for me to get some damn sympathy |
|
but that's the last thing I need is for people |
|
to walk around feeling sorry for me (me) |
|
and I'm not a G, never claimed to be |
|
I gave my vest to Cashis, |
|
he'll need it more than me |
|
but we'll see, cause we ain't lookin' for beef |
|
but if it comes our way, what do we, turn the other cheek? |
|
come on |
|
Sometimes I feel like it's just me |
|
sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy |
|

|
Yeah |
|
and I'm the crazy one, right? |
|
whatever! |
|
then let me be the crazy one! |
|
(sounds) |
|
cuckoo! cuckoo! |
|
tweet! |
|
haha |
