So this it
this is what I wished for
just isn´t how I envisioned it
Fame to the point of imprisonment
I just thought the shit would be different
but somethin changed the minute
That I got a whiff of it
I started to inhale it, smell it
Started sniffin it
And it became my cocaine
I just couldn´t quit
I wanted jus wanted a little bit
then it turned me into a monster
I became a hypocrite
Concert after concert
I was rakin in the dough
Rollin in green
Had the game hemmed up
like a sewing machine
But I was losin 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 hate it
Every CD critics gave it a 3 then
3 years later they go back and re-rate it
And call the Slim Shady LP the Greatest
The Marshall Mathers was a classic
The Eminem Show was fantstic
but Encore just didn´t have the caliber to match it
I guess enough time just aint passed yet
A couple more years and that shit´ll be illmatic
And 8 years later I´m still at it
Divorced, Re-Married
A felon, A father
Sleepin Pill Addict
And this is real talk,
I feel like The Incredible Hulk
my back has been broke and I can still walk
Chorus :
So be careful what you wish for
Cuz you just might get it
And if you get it then you just might not know
What to do with it
Cuz it might just come back on you ten-fold
I said be careful what you wish for
Cuz you just might get it
And if you get it then you just might not know
What to do with it
Cuz it might just come back on you ten-fold
I got a letter from a fan that said
He´s been prayin for me every day
And for some reason it´s been weighin on my mind heavy
Cuz I don´t read every
Letter I get
But somethin 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 shit 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 it´s been one hell of a ride, hasn´t it?
Just watchin it from a opposite stand point
Man, boys got to look, Nuts
And thats the only word I could think of right now
On how to describe this shit
This is like a vibe you get
Go ahead and bob to it
Just watch what you wish for
Cuz I got the shit
