"Is it a sabbatical or the end?
The rumors and speculation continue to swirl around Eminem

He insists he´s just taking a break
But doubters believe he´s retiring, leaving us all to ask
´Will the real Slim Shady please stand up?´"

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 sniffing it
And it became my cocaine, I just couldn´t quit
I just wanted a little bit then it turned me 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 nowhere 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 three
Years later they go back and re-rate it
Then called 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 Illmatic
And eight years later I´m still at it
Divorced, 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

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 with 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 with it
´Cause it might just come back on you ten-fold

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 watching it from a 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 bop to it
Just watch what you wish for ´cause I got the shit

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 with 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 with it
´Cause it might just come back on you ten-fold
