DRUG BALLAD
[Girl] Yeah, hahahaha...whooooo, shit!
[Em]
(aight)
[Eminem] Guess what? I ain't coming in yet...
I'll come in
a minute
[Eminem] Ayo...This is my love song...it goes like
this
[Eminem]
Back when Mark Walhberg was Marky Mark
This is
how we used to make the party start
We used to mix Hen' with Bacardi
Dark
And when it, kicks in you can hardly talk
And by the, sixth gin
you're gonna probably crawl
And you'll be, sick then and you'll probably
barf
And my pre-diction is you're gonna probably fall
Either somewhere in
the lobby or the hallway wall
And everything's spinning
You're beginin' to
think women
are swimming in pink linen again in the sink
Then in a couple
of minutes that bottle of Guinness is finished
You are now allowed to
officially slap bitches
You have the right to remain violent and start
wilin'
Start a fight with the same guy that was smart eyin' you
Get in
your car, start it, and start drivin'
Over the island and cause a 42 car
pile-up
[Em's spaceman voice]Earth calling, pilot to
co-pilot
Looking at the life on this planet, sir, no sign of it
All I can
see is a bunch of smoke flyin'
And I'm so high that I might die if I go by
it
Let me out of this place
I'm outta place
I'm in outer space
I've
just vanished without a trace
I'm going to a pretty place now where the
flowers grow
I'll be back in an hour or
so
[Chorus]
[Eminem]
'Cause every time I go to
try to leave
Someone keeps pullin' on my sleeve
I don't wanna, but I gotta
stay
These drugs really got a hold of me
'Cause every time I try to
tell them "no"
They won't let me ever let them go
I'm a sucker all I gotta
say
These drugs really got a hold of me
[Eminem]
In third
grade, all I used to do
Was sniff glue through a tube and play Rubic's
cube
17 years later I'm as Rude as Jude
Scheming on the first chick with
the hugest boobs
I've got no game
And every face looks the same
They've
got no name
So I don't need game to play
I just say whatever I want to
whoever I want
Whenever I want, wherever I want, however I want
However, I
do show some respect to few
As ecstasy got me standing next to you
Getting
sentimental as fuck spillin' guts to you
We just met
But I think I'm in
love with you
But you're on it too
So you tell me you love me too
Wake
up in the morning like "yo, what the fuck we do?"
I gotta go bitch
You
know I have stuff to do
'Cause if I get caught cheatin' then I'm stuck with
you
But in the long run
These drugs are probably going to catch up sooner
or later
But fuck it, I'm on one
So let's enjoy
Let the X destroy your
spinal cord
So it's not a straight line no more
'Til we walk around
looking like some wind-up dolls
Shit's sticking out of our backs like a
dinosaur
Shit, six hits won't even get me high no more
So bye for
now
I'm going to try to find some
more
[Chorus]
[Eminem]
That's the sound of a
bottle when it's hollow
When you swallow it all wallow and drown in your
sorrow
And tomorrow you're probably going to want to do it again
What's a
little spinal fluid between you and a friend? Screw it
And what's a little
bit of alcohol poisoning?
And what's a little fight?
Tomorrow you'll be
boys again
It's your life
Live it however you wanna
Marijuana is
everywhere
Where was you brought up?
It don't matter as long as you get
where you're going
'Cause none of the shit is going to mean shit where we're
going
They tell you to stop, but you just sit there ignoring
Even though
you wake up feeling like shit every morning
But you're young
You've got a
lot of drugs to do
Girls to screw
Parties to crash
Sucks to be
you
If I could take it all back now, I wouldn't
I would have did more shit
that people said that I shouldn't
But I'm all grown up now and upgraded and
graduated
Did better drugs and updated
But I've still got a lot of growing
up to do
I've still got a whole lot of throwing up to spew
But when it's
all said and done I'll be 40
Before I know it with a 40 on the porch telling
stories
With a bottle of Jack
Two grandkids in my lap
Babysitting for
Hailie while Hailie's out getting smashed
[Chorus 2x]
[Same
as previous, but 2nd time the last line is repeated like this]
Drugs
really got a hold of me
They really got a hold of me
'Cause drugs really
got a hold of me
They really got a hold of me
