[00:-7.52]Eminem - Careful What You Wish For
[00:59.17]
[01:00.17]So this is it, this is what I've wished for
[01:02.88]Just isn't how I invisioned it, fame to the point of imprisonment
[01:07.08]I just thought the shit'da be different
[01:08.94]But something changed the minute that I got a whiff of it
[01:11.87]I started to inhale it, smell it, started sniffing it
[01:14.94]And it became my cocaine, I just couldn't quit
[01:17.85]I just wanted a little bit, then it turned me to monster
[01:21.26]I became a hypocrite, concert after concert
[01:24.38]I was raking in the dough, rolling in green
[01:26.99]Had the game hemmed up, like a sewing machine
[01:29.79]But I was losing my freedom, there was nowhere for me
[01:32.67]To not go and be seen, and just go and be me
[01:35.56]And there was no inbetween, you either loved it or hated
[01:38.51]Every CD, critics gave it a three, then three
[01:41.49]years later, they go back and rerate it
[01:43.91]And called The Slim Shady LP the greatest
[01:46.42]The Marshall Mathers was a classic
[01:48.39]The Eminem Show was fantastic
[01:50.51]But Encore just didn't have the caliber to match it
[01:53.35]I guess enough time just ain't passed yet
[01:55.56]A couple more years, that shit'll be Illmatic
[01:58.38]And 8 years later I'm still at it
[02:00.60]Divorced, remarried, a felon, a father, sleeping pill addict
[02:04.70]And this is real talk, I feel like the Incredible Hulk
[02:07.54]My back has been broken, I can still walk
[02:09.00]
[02:10.00]So be careful what you wish for
[02:12.10]Cause you just might get it
[02:13.81]And if you get it then you just might not know
[02:16.85]What to do with it cause it might just come back on you 10 fold!
[02:20.43]
[02:21.43]I said be careful what you wish for
[02:23.73]Cause you just might get it
[02:25.40]And if you get it, then you just might not know
[02:28.52]What to do with it cause it might just come back on you 10 fold!
[02:32.04]
[02:33.04]I got a letter from a fan that said, he's been praying for me
[02:36.70]Everyday and for some reason it's been weighing on my mind heavy
[02:40.27]Cause I don't read every letter I get
[02:42.62]But something told me to go ahead and open it
[02:45.09]But, why would someone pray for you when they dont know you
[02:47.92]You didn't pray for me when I was local
[02:50.15]And as I lay these vocals, I think of all the shit I had to go through
[02:53.84]Just to get to where I'm at, I've already told you
[02:56.52]At least, a thousand times in these rhymes
[02:58.62]I appreciate the prayer, but I've already got god on my side
[03:02.16]and its been one hell of a ride, hasnt it?
[03:04.41]Just watching it, from an opposite's stand point
[03:07.03]Man, boy it's got to look, nuts
[03:09.24]And thats the only word I can think of right now
[03:12.35]On how to describe this shit
[03:14.35]This is like a vibe you get it, go ahead and vibe to it
[03:17.21]Just watch what you wish for, cause I got the shit!
[03:19.17]
[03:20.17]So be careful what you wish for
[03:21.97]Cause you just might get it
[03:23.64]And if you get it then you just might not know
[03:26.69]What to do with it cause it might just come back on you 10 fold!
[03:30.20]
[03:31.20]I said be careful what you wish for
[03:33.57]Cause you just might get it
[03:35.18]And if you get it, then you just might not know
[03:38.39]What to do with it cause it might just come back on you 10 fold!
