I put my life up for yours, see, I love that girl
Could you believe even my shadow's jealous?
My skin is mad at my flesh, my flesh hates my own bones
My brain hates my heart, my heart makes the songs
Though my songs come from the Father
I'm lonely....hold me, it's gettin' darker
-Nas, "Every Ghetto"
I love my fans, but no one ever puts a grasp
On the fact I've sacrificed everything I have
I never dreamt I'd get to the level that I'm at
This is wack, this is more than I ever coulda asked
Everywhere I go, a hat, a sweater, hood or mask
What about math? How come I wasn't ever good at that?
It's like the boy in the bubble who never could adapt
I'm trapped, if I could go back, I never woulda rapped
I sold my soul to the devil, I'll never get it back
I just wanna leave this game with level head intact
-Eminem, "Say Goodbye Hollywood"
God's given me all this, still, I feel no different regardless
Kids look to me as a god, this is retarded
If only they knew, it's a facade and it's exhaustive
And I try not to listen to nonsense
But if you bytches are trying to strip me of my confidence, mission accomplished
I'm not God-sent, Nas, Rakim,'Pac, B.I.G., James Todd Smith
And I'm not Prince, so....
-Eminem, "Walk on Water" (featuring Beyonce)
