Lyrics
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 sh*t'd 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 just wanted a little bit, then it turned me to 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 losing my freedom, therе was nowhere for me To not go and bе 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 three, then three Years later they go back and re-rate it Then 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 sh*t'll be Illmatic And eight years later, I'm still at it Divorced, 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 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 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 with it 'Cause it might just come back on you ten-fold 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 sh*t 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 watching it from a 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 sh*t This is like a vibe you get, go ahead and bop to it Just watch what you wish for 'cause I got the sh*t 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 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 with it 'Cause it might just come back on you ten-fold
