Be careful what you wish for.

[Trimss]

Should have been the first track released for his comeback.

[Verse 1]

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 shit'd be different
But something 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 (in)to a monster
I became a hypocrite
Concert after concert
I was raking in the dough
Rolling in green
Had the game hemmed up
Like a sewing machine
But I was losing my freedom
There was no where for me
To not go and be 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 3, then 3
Years later, they'd go back and re-rate it
And call 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 shit'll be ill-matic
And eight years later, I'm still at it
Divorce, 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

[Chorus]

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 wit' 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 wit' it, 'cause it might just
Come back on you ten-fold

[Verse 2]

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 shit 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 watchin' it from an 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 shit
This is like a vibe you get
Go ahead and bob to it
Just watch what you wish for, 'cause I got the shit

The news reporters intro was dope as hell, but the song needed a third verse I think.. don't know. It seems like it was recorder somewhere between when I'm gone and beautiful though.. Not his best song lyrically but it's an awesome song to describe how he was and shit, the come back thing.

I think he has a lot of material like this for Relapse, but he prefered to cut it all and chose the crazy songs with the accents.

Discuss, fuckers.

[EG.]

Another one that makes me cry And i agree about it being a good first comeback song, since it's explaining a lot. But I don't really like the chorus.

[Trimss]

I knew it tbh.

[Mr.DGAF]

I really like this track. The first verse is really good, and the intro with the reporters almost gives me chills. It sums up all the crap he's been going through, and it is done pretty well.

[crosby87]

Agreed, I know Em likes to start shows with a fast song but I would've liked to see him open a "Relapse Tour" with that song. Show video clips of beginning and Em sits in chair watching it then stands up and starts show.

[Amaranthine]

TBH I always forget about this song, which is sad because listening to it again, it's pretty awesome.

this, i don't mind the hook but yeah its not great either

[Devil'sAdvocate]

Why?

The rhyming is too damn simple.

The flow is boring.

Em stutters.

The voice is the same reup/drug era shit which is awful.

exactly what makes it so great! Listening now.

[Sam.]

This is probably one of earlier songs that were made when he started writing after getting sober ,reflects on the words of the songs.Even though the rhyming is simple ,what he says in the song is powerful .

The only thing that bugs me is the long ass Intro .

Fuck off faggot, no one wants to post in your shitty 4 month old thread. Matter of fact reported for spam & advertisement you fucking ruptured twat muscle.

It's good, but it's a bit too predictable which I think is why he left it off Relapse. The first verse is pretty much exactly the kinda stuff I personally expected to hear. Not that I don't like the song. I'm just sayin.

So? Whistle all you want, my thread says that it should have been the first song for his comeback and yours says that it should have been the intro on Relapse. Not the same thing.

@DA, well, it's just not bad and it's good enough to make a first single. I can picture a video for it. During the intro, eminem looking at his tv and shit, just switching the programs because all the news are related to him.
