[00:00.10]So Far... - Eminem
[00:03.16]I own a mansion, but live in a house
[00:06.65]
[00:07.83]A king-size bed, but I sleep on the couch
[00:11.39]
[00:12.70]I'm Mr.Brightside, glass is half full
[00:16.32]
[00:17.14]But my tank is half empty, gas kit just blew
[00:21.25]
[00:22.31]This always happens, 30 minutes from home
[00:24.31]Gotta lay a long cable and only option
[00:26.00]I have is McDonald's bathroom
[00:26.55]
[00:27.61]In a public stall dropping a football
[00:29.54]So every time someone walks in the john like at Madden
[00:32.48]''Shady, what up?''- What?
[00:33.85]Come on, man, I'm crapping
[00:34.91]And you're asking me for my
[00:35.98]got damn autograph on a napkin?
[00:36.77]
[00:37.77]Oh, that's odd, I just happened to run out of tissue
[00:39.95]Yeah, hand me that, on second thought I'd be glad then
[00:42.26]''Thanks, dawg, name's Todd, a big fan''
[00:44.51]I wiped my ass with it
[00:45.57]Crumbled it up in a wad and threw it back and
[00:47.32]Told him ''Todd, you're the shit''
[00:49.07]when does all of this crap end?
[00:50.31]Can't park my without causing an accident
[00:52.19]Puff my gas, cut my grass, can't take out the fucking trash
[00:54.74]Without someone passing through my sub harassing
[00:56.87]I'd count my blessings, but I suck at math
[00:58.80]I'd rather wallow then bass suffering from succotash
[01:01.05]But the antacid is my stomach gas
[01:03.35]I mix my corn with my fucking mash
[01:05.79]Potato, so what, ho, kiss my country bucking ass
[01:08.78]Missouri Southern roots, what the fuck is upperclass
[01:11.34]Call lunch dinner, call dinner supper
[01:13.40]Tupperware in a covered plastic wear up the ass
[01:16.33]Stuck in the past, iPod, what the fuck is that?
[01:18.77]B-boy to the core, mule, I'm a stubborn ass
[01:21.20]Maybe that's why I feel so strange
[01:23.51]Got it all, but I still won't change
[01:26.13]Maybe that's why I can't leave Detroit
[01:28.32]It's the motivation that keeps me going
[01:30.99]This is the inspiration I need
[01:32.56]I can never turn my back on a city that made me
[01:34.99](Life's been good to me so far)
[01:38.67]They call me classless, I heard that,
[01:40.23]I second and third that
[01:41.35]Don't know what the fuck I would doing if it weren't rap
[01:43.92]Probably be a giant turd-sack
[01:45.29]But I blew, never turned back
[01:46.78]Turned 40 and still sag
[01:48.53]Teenagers act more fucking mature, Jack
[01:50.53]Fuck you gonna say to me?
[01:52.09]I leave on my own terms, asshole, I'm going berzerk
[01:54.77]My nerves are bad, but I love the perks my work has
[01:57.27]I get to meet famous people, look at her, dag
[01:59.52]Her eyeliners ran, her skirt snag
[02:01.20]
[02:03.51]Fucking my Hanes shirt tag
[02:04.76]You're Danica Patrick (yeah) work, skag
[02:07.19]We'd be the perfect match
[02:08.38]Cause you're a vacuum, I'm a dirtbag
[02:10.25]My apologies, no disrespect to technology
[02:13.05]But what the heck is all of these buttons?
[02:14.86]You expect me to sit here and learn that?
[02:16.49]Fuck I gotta do to hear this new song from Luda?
[02:18.73]Be an expert at computers?
[02:20.42]I'd rather be an encyclopedia Britannica, hell with a Playstation
[02:24.16]I'm still on my first manual from Zelda
[02:26.10]Nintendo, bitch, run, jump, punch, stab and I melt the
[02:28.84]Mozzarella on my spaghetti, put in on bread
[02:31.28]Make a sandwich with welch's and belch
[02:32.77]They say this spray butter is bad for my health, but
[02:35.02]I think there's more white trash from the trailer
[02:36.76]
[02:38.20]welfare mentality helps to
[02:39.76]Keep me grounded
[02:40.44]That's why I never take full advantage of wealth, I
[02:42.76]Managed to dwell within these perimeters
[02:44.62]Still cramming the shelves full of hamburger helper
[02:46.87]I can't even help it, this is the hand I was dealt to
[02:49.74]Creature of habit, feel like I'm trapped in an animal shelter
[02:52.36]With all these pet peeves
[02:53.86]God dammit to hell
[02:54.92]I can't stand all these kids with their camera cellphones
[02:57.54]I can't go anywhere, I get so mad I can yell the
[03:00.09]Other day someone got little elaborate
[03:02.03]And stuck a fucking dead cat in my mailbox
[03:03.77]
[03:05.14]Went to Burger King, they spit on my onion rings
[03:07.26]I think my karma is catching up with me
[03:09.08]Maybe that's why I feel so strange
[03:11.51]Got it all, but I still won't change
[03:13.88]Maybe that's why I can't leave Detroit
[03:16.00]It's the motivation that keeps me going
[03:18.68]This is the inspiration I need
[03:20.18]I can never turn my back on a city that made me
[03:22.68](Life's been good to me so far)
[03:26.17]
[03:28.79]Got friends on facebook, all over the world
[03:32.22]
[03:33.04]Not sure what that means, they tell me it's good
[03:37.15]
[03:37.78]So I'm artist of the decade, I even got a plaque
[03:42.14]
[03:42.83]I'd hang it up, but the frame is all cracked
[03:46.95]
[03:48.07]I'm trying to be lowkey, hopefully nobody notices me
[03:50.69]In produce hunched over, giant nosebleed
[03:52.96]Over stop as I mosey over to the frozen aisle
[03:55.89]By the frozen yogurt this guy approached me
[03:57.88]Embarrassed, I just did Comerica with Hova
[04:00.01]Show's over, I'm hiding in Kroeger buying groceries
[04:02.75]He just had front row seats, told me to sign this poster
[04:05.19]Then insults me ''wow, up close
[04:06.50]didn't know you had crow's feet''
[04:07.81]I'm at a crossroad lost till shopping at Costco
[04:10.92]Sloppy Joe's, buck waffles
[04:12.30]Got caught picking my nose, ah
[04:14.11]Look over see these two hot hoes
[04:15.54]Finger still up in one of my nostrils
[04:17.54]Right next to 'em stuck at the light
[04:19.16]This fucking shit is taking forever to change
[04:20.85]I'm stuck, these bitches are loving it rubbing it in
[04:22.84]Chuckling, couldn't do nothing, play it off
[04:24.78]''What you bumping? Trunk Muzik?
[04:25.96]Yelawolf's better'', fucking bitch
[04:26.71]
[04:27.83]They want me to flip at the label
[04:29.39]But I won't succumb to it
[04:30.39]The pressure
[04:30.76]They want me to follow up with
[04:31.95]another one after Recovery
[04:33.48]Was so highly coveted
[04:34.42]But what good is a fucking recovery if I fumble it?
[04:36.92]Cause I'mma drop the ball if I don't get to quit
[04:39.16]Hopping on... on you sons of bitches
[04:40.48]Wrong subdivison to fuck with, bitch
[04:42.91]Quit snapping fucking pictures of my kids
[04:44.34]I love my... but you push me to my limit, what a pity
[04:46.96]The shit I complain about
[04:47.96]It's like there ain't a butt in the sky and it's raining out
[04:50.71]Kool Aid stain on the couch, I'd never get it out
[04:52.95]Bitch, I got an elevator in my house
[04:54.63]
[04:56.13].I'm living the dream
[04:57.25]Maybe that's why I feel so strange
[04:59.19]Got it all, but I still won't change
[05:01.68]Maybe that's why I can't leave Detroit
[05:03.81]It's the motivation that keeps me going
[05:06.55]This is the inspiration I need
[05:07.92]I can never turn my back on a city that made me
[05:10.48](Life's been good to me so far)
