bitter medicine - eminem lyrics lyrics

[intro]
yeah…
they told me take two of these and call in the morning, right?
shh… don’t wake me up though

[verse 1]
i ain’t myself, i’m a sh+ll in a skin suit
doctor shopping, prescriptions in a gym shoe
little white lies in a little white capsule
momma said don’t bite off more than you can chew—
but i’m gnawin’, crawlin’, fallin’ off balance
pop a couple more just to sharpen my talent
encore dropped, now i’m hooked on applause
but the claps fade out when i’m noddin’ off

[hook]
this bitter medicine’s all that i take
to make the pain quiet down, to make the shame fade
i know it’s k!llin’ me, still i can’t break—
‘cause without these pills, man, i ain’t slim shady

[verse 2]
it started with a vicodin, then i liked it and
every night i’d grin, “doc, write it again,”
life’s a vicodin cycle, round and round
now i’m scared to stand up without fallin’ down
friends stage an intervention, i stage a comeback
standin’ on stage with my veins full of prozac
fans want the rabbit, the madness, the havoc
but the habit’s got me handcuffed, gagged up, tragic
[hook]
this bitter medicine’s all that i take
to make the pain quiet down, to make the shame fade
i know it’s k!llin’ me, still i can’t break—
‘cause without these pills, man, i ain’t slim shady
[bridge]
yo, i’m losin’ it…
wake up in a fog, don’t remember what i did last night
phone full of missed calls, daughter askin’ why daddy won’t fight…
but i ain’t strong enough
i ain’t sober enough
and i ain’t dope enough without dope, so what…

[verse 3]
i built an empire outta pain and laughter
but it’s crumblin’ now like the hereafter
i’d give back grammys, plaques, the fame
just to live one d+mn day not enslaved to this chain
doctor said, “marshall, you’re sick, you need help,”
but all i hear is slim screamin’, “feed yourself!”
and i can’t tell if it’s me or the pills that rhyme
but i swear i ain’t been sober in a long+ass time

[outro]
yeah… just two more…
then i’ll quit, i promise…
…maybe tomorrow
