Artist: Eminem

Album: Relapse (2009)

[Intro - News talk]

[Verse 1]

So this is it

this is what I wished for

this isn’t how I eye-visioned it

fame to the point and then prisioned me

I just thoguth that this shit would be different

theres’ something changed a minute

there I got a whip of it

I started to inhale it,

smell it,

start to sniffin’ it

and it became my cocaine

I just couldn’t quit!

I just wanted a lil’ bit

then it turned me into a monster

I became a hippocrit,

concert after concert

I was wrecking in the dope,

rolling in green

had the game hammered up like a sawyer-machine

but I was loosing my freedom,

there was no one for me

to not going to be seen

it was just going to be me

and there was no one between

you either loved it or hate it,

every cd critics gave it the 3,

and then 3 years later they’re gone back and re-rate it

they 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 calibre to match it,

I guess enough time just ain’t passed yet

a couple of more years that shit would’ve been ILLMATIC

and 8 years later I’m still at it,

devorsed,

re-married,

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

[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,

waiting cuz the mind just come back on you tenform

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,

waiting cuz the mind just come back on you tenform

[Verse 2]

I got a letter from a fan that said:

he’s been praying for me,

everyday for some reason it’s been laying on my mind heavy,

cuz I dont 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 that’s a ladies vocals

I think of all the shit I had to go through

just to get to where I’m at,

I’ve allready told you

ATLEAST

a thousand times in these rhymes,

I appreciate the prayer

but I allready got,

god on my side

and it’s been one hell of a ride hasn’t it?

just watchin’ it from an opposite stand-point

man, boys gotta look

NUTS

and that’s the only word I can think of right now,

won’t know how to discribe the shit,

this is like a vibe you get

go ahead and boom to it,

just watch what you wish for

cuz I got this shit!

[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,

waiting cuz the mind just come back on you tenform

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,

waiting cuz the mind just come back on you tenform
