Careful what you wish

by Eminem

[Verse 1]

So this is 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´d be different
But something 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 just wanted a little bit
Then it turned me (in)to a 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 no where for me
To not go and be seen
And just go and be me
And there was no in-between
You either loved it or hate it

Every CD critics gave it a 3, then 3
Years later, they´d go back and re-rate it
And call 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 shit´ll be ill-matic
And eight years later, I´m still at it
Divorce, re-married
A felon
A father
Sleeping 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
´Cause you just might get it
And if you get it then you just might not know
What to do wit´ it, ´cause it might just
Come back on you ten-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 wit´ it, ´cause it might just
Come back on you ten-fold

[Verse 2]

I got a letter from a fan, that said
He´s been praying for me
Every day 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 don´t 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 an opposite standpoint
Man, boy´s got to look
Nuts
And that´s the only word I can think of right now
On how
To describe the shit
This is like a vibe you get
Go ahead and bob to it
Just watch what you wish for, ´cause I got the shit

[Chorus]

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 wit´ it, ´cause it might just
Come back on you ten-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 wit´ it, ´cause it might just
Come back on you ten-fold
