eminem - careful what you wish for (2006 version) lyrics

[intro]
“breaking news: detroit rapper eminem cancels his sold+out european tour to check himself into rehab after admitting an addiction to sleep medication
we’ll have more on this story as it develops”
“shady records recording artist obie trice has apparently survived a gunshot to the head in what appears to be a random drive+by shooting on detroit’s lodge freeway
meanwhile, eminem is rumored to be remarrying his ex wife and childhood sweetheart kimberly mathers”
“the on and off again relationship with current wife kim mathers appears to be off again just months after reconciling and remarrying the rapper has filed for divorce for the second time ending their marriage once again”
“updating a story we brought you earlier about gunfire at an after+hours club, we’ve learned that the rapper proof has been fatally shot, proof’s real name is deshaun holton long+time best friend of eminem and a member of the rap group d12, police say they are still trying to find a motive for the shooting”
yeah (heh)
this game is crazy man
but you know what?
it’s taught me a lotta sh+t though (heh)
and i’m gonna take that to the grave with me
but before i go
i got some sh+t i wanna share with y’all right quick

[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 sh+t’d be different
but somethin’ 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 to a monster
i became a hypocrite, concert after concert
i was rakin’ in the dough, rollin’ in green
had the game hemmed up, like a sewin’ machine
but i was losin’ 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 three, then three
years later they 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 sh+t’ll be illmatic
and eight years later, i’m still at it
divorced, re+married, a felon, a father, sleepin’ 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 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”

[verse 2]
i got a letter from a fan that said he’s been prayin’ for me
every day and for some reason, it’s been weighin’
on my mind heavy, ’cause i don’t read every
letter i get, but somethin’ 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 sh+t 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 h+ll of a ride, hasn’t it?
just watchin’ 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 sh+t
it’s just like a vibe you get, go ahead and bop to it
just watch what you wish for, ’cause i got the sh+t
[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 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”

[outro]
“d12, back in the news again today as more trouble arises for that group, member swifty mcvay real name ondre moore has finally turned himself in, just one day after detroit rapper proof’s funeral, swifty is said to be released in july”
“an assault at a tgi friday’s reportedly involving members of the rap group d12, members of the group have been accused of assaulting a customer in the restaurant, police are looking for rufus johnson otherwise known as bizarre, deshaun holton also known as proof, and denaun porter also known as kon artis
police want them all brought in for questioning”
“this just in, a tour bus involving part of eminem’s entourage was in a horrific accident today, eminem’s dj alchemist and shady/aftermath recording artist stat quo were on that bus
there are conflicting reports but witnesses say the bus was flying down the interstate, when the driver lost control hitting at least two trucks, a tractor trailer, and a semi before it overturned
one of the bus riders is being airlifted to a local hospital, his condition is not known at this time
we’ll bring you the very latest information as we get it”
“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?'”
