Life.. by Marshall Mathers
|
What is life?
|
Life is like a big obstacle
|
put in front of your optical to slow you down
|
And everytime you think you gotten past it
|
it's gonna come back around and tackle you to the damn ground
|
What are friends?
|
Friends are people that you think are your friends
|
But they really your enemies, with secret indentities
|
and disguises, to hide they true colors
|
So just when you think you close enough to be brothers
|
they wanna come back and cut your throat when you ain't lookin
|
What is money?
|
Money is what makes a man act funny
|
Money is the root of all evil
|
Money'll make them same friends come back around
|
swearing that they was always down
|
What is life?
|
I'm tired of life
|
I'm tired of backstabbing ass snakes with friendly grins
|
I'm tired of committing so many sins
|
Tired of always giving in when this bottle of Henny wins
|
Tired of never having any ends
|
Tired of having skinny friends hooked on crack and mini-thins
|
I'm tired of this DJ playing YOUR shit when he spins
|
Tired of not having a deal
|
Tired of having to deal with the bullshit without grabbing the steel
|
Tired of drowning in my sorrow
|
Tired of having to borrow a dollar for gas to start my Monte Carlo
|
I'm tired of motherfuckers spraying shit and dartin off
|
I'm tired of jobs startin off at five fifty an hour
|
then this boss wanders why I'm smartin off
|
I'm tired of being fired everytime I fart and cough
|
Tired of having to work as a gas station clerk
|
for this jerk breathing down my neck driving me bezerk
|
I'm tired of using plastic silverware
|
Tired of working in Building Square
|
Tired of not being a millionaire
|
|
But if I had a million dollars
|
I'd buy a damn brewery, and turn the planet into alcoholics
|
If I had a magic wand, I'd make the world suck my dick
|
without a condom on, while I'm on the john
|
If I had a million bucks
|
it wouldn't be enough, because I'd still be out
|
robbing armored trucks
|
If I had one wish
|
I would ask for a big enough ass for the whole world to kiss
|
|
I'm tired of being white trash, broke and always poor
|
Tired of taking pop bottles back to the party store
|
I'm tired of not having a phone
|
Tired of not having a home to have one in if I did have it on
|
Tired of not driving a BM
|
Tired of not working at GM, tired of wanting to be him
|
Tired of not sleeping without a Tylenol PM
|
Tired of not performing in a packed coliseum
|
Tired of not being on tour
|
Tired of fucking the same blonde whore after work
|
in the back of a Contour
|
I'm tired of faking knots with a stack of ones
|
Having a lack of funds and resorting back to guns
|
Tired of being stared at
|
I'm tired of wearing the same damn Nike Air hat
|
Tired of stepping in clubs wearing the same pair of Lugz
|
Tired of people saying they're tired of hearing me rap about drugs
|
Tired of other rappers who ain't bringin half the skill as me
|
saying they wasn't feeling me on "Nobody's As Ill As Me"
|
I'm tired of radio stations telling fibs
|
Tired of J-L-B saying "Where Hip-Hop Lives"
|
|
But if I had a million dollars
|
I'd buy a damn brewery, and turn the planet into alcoholics
|
If I had a magic wand, I'd make the world suck my dick
|
without a condom on, while I'm on the john
|
If I had a million bucks
|
it wouldn't be enough, because I'd still be out
|
robbing armored trucks
|
If I had one wish
|
I would ask for a big enough ass for the whole world to kiss
|
|
You know what I'm saying?
|
I'm tired of all of this bullshit
|
Telling me to be positive
|
How'm I 'sposed to be positive when I don't see shit positive?
|
Know what I'm sayin?
|
I rap about shit around me, shit I see
|
Know what I'm sayin? Right now I'm tired of everything
|
Tired of all this player hating that's going on in my own city
|
Can't get no airplay, you know what I'm sayin?
|
But ey, it's cool though, you know what I'm sayin?
|
Just fed up
|
That's my word
