[Intro: Eminem & (Jazmine Sullivan)] Yeah. (Oh) This game is like c**aine. (I want this more than anything in the world) Haha... So do I... at least I thought I did (Got to have it, yeah I need it, I'm addicted, yeah I'm fading fading) [Verse 1: Eminem] This is a beat with no words at first, it's a blank painting Exercising the mind, it's brain strength training It starts off something like, "Shady's an insane maniac Yeah, Slim Shady, that's a zany name, ain't it?" Now all you need's an image to go with the name, baby Wifebeaters and white t-shirts, Hanes mainly It's a long shot, but is it possible? There's a lane, maybe If not he's gon' have to come and change the whole game, ain't he? He wants the fame so bad he can taste it, he can see his name up in lights Women screaming his f**ing name, fainting Shady did it, he sold out the whole dang stadium Joe Shmoe made it, he took his Plain Jane lady And his baby Hailie out the trailer but he ain't trailing anymore He's ahead of the race, while maintaining his innocence Little does he know his train is derailing And he's about to be raped by this game an*lly, now [Hook: Jazmine Sullivan] What would you do for a little bit? What would you give for a little bit of that C-O-C-A-I-N-E? I got to have it, yeah I made it, I'm addicted, yeah I'm fading (Cause once you cave in, you don't want to leave) [Verse 2: Eminem] You're operating on all cylinders, syllables spit like dillingers Spilling your guts, people are feeling your mic sk**s But these haters are ice grilling ya Willing to sacrifice anything for the life that they might steal from ya Fake friends will k** for ya, die for ya but you can't decipher Why for the life of ya, it wasn't like this when you were cyphering Argue with your wife again, she found Vicodin In your pants last night again, your dispute's public Nothing is private anymore, oh, and your best friend? Say bye-bye to him, what kind of apple you take a bite of Slim? (But this is what you wanted Marshall, ain't it?) f** no! The way that it turned out was nothin' like the picture that I painted In my head, sometimes a dream and making it's more fun Than it's to actually make it, the game stripped me naked It robbed me of ever having another real relationship With another girl, this world is a f**ing trip As I slip in another world, proceed, take another hit Sniff 'til I f**ing hurl, tell 'em all to f**ing sit And spin 'til they f**ing twirl, middle finger up again Relapsing back in this game, oh well, f** it then, now [Hook] [Bridge: Jazmine Sullivan] You start off bright, just to see your name in lights Just so you can live the life You take a bite and lose your sight, they call this (fame) You think you're good, just cause you got out the hood Concerned only with getting dough, no longer poor But you lost your soul, they call it (fame) I hear it callin', my name is callin' Why you struggling when you could be ballin'? My head is saying yes but my feet is stallin' So many walkin' by the end they fallin' But I gots to have it, like Eve and the apple She had to grab it, I got to take it, I got to make it That's the plan and I can't forsake it, yeah [Hook]
