So this is it, this is what I've wished for Just isn't how I invisioned it, fame to the point of imprisonment I just thought the ****'da be different But something changed the minute that I got a whiff of it I started to inhale it, smell it, started sniffing it And it became my *******, I just couldn't quit I just wanted a little bit, then it turned me to monster I became a hypocrite, concert after concert I was raking in the dough, rolling in green Had the game hemmed up, like a sewing machine But I was losing my freedom, there was nowhere for me To not go and be seen, and just go and be me And there was no inbetween, you either loved it or hated Every CD, critics gave it a three, then three years later, they go back and rerate it And called The Slim Shady LP the greatest The Marshall Mathers was a classic The Eminem Show was fantastic But Encore just didn't have the caliber to match it I guess enough time just ain't passed yet A couple more years, that ****'ll be Illmatic And 8 years later I'm still at it Divorced, remarried, a felon, a father, sleeping pill addict And this is real talk, I feel like the Incredible Hulk My back has been broken, I can still walk
So be careful what you wish for Cause you just might get it And if you get it then you just might not know What to do with it cause it might just come back on you 10 fold!
I said be careful what you wish for Cause you just might get it And if you get it, then you just might not know What to do with it cause it might just come back on you 10 fold!
I got a letter from a fan that said, he's been praying for me Everyday and for some reason it's been weighing on my mind heavy Cause I don't read every letter I get But something told me to go ahead and open it But, why would someone pray for you when they dont know you You didn't pray for me when I was local And as I lay these vocals, I think of all the **** I had to go through Just to get to where I'm at, I've already told you At least, a thousand times in these rhymes I appreciate the prayer, but I've already got god on my side and its been one hell of a ride, hasnt it? Just watching it, from an opposite's stand point Man, boy it's got to look, nuts And thats the only word I can think of right now On how to describe this **** This is like a vibe you get it, go ahead and vibe to it Just watch what you wish for, cause I got the ****!
So be careful what you wish for Cause you just might get it And if you get it then you just might not know What to do with it cause it might just come back on you 10 fold!
