Ayo, before I start this song man, I just wanna thank everybody For being so patient And bearing with me Over these last couple years While I figured this shit out...
[Chorus - Kobe:] Is anybody out there? It feels like I'm talking to myself, No one seems to know my struggle And everything I come from. Can anybody hear me yeah? I guess I keep talking to myself, Feels like I'm going insane, Am I the one who's crazy?
[Bridge - Eminem:] So why in the world do I feel so alone? Nobody but me, I'm on my own, Is there anyone out there Who feels the way I feel? That there is, then let me in So I know that I'm not the only one.
I went away, I guess that opened up some lanes, But there was no one who even knew I was going through growing pains, Hatred was flowing through my veins On the verge of going insane I almost made a song Dissing Lil Wayne, It's like I was jealous of him Cause of the attention he was getting, I felt horrible about myself, He was spitting and I wasn't, Anyone who was buzzing back then Coulda got it, Almost went at Kanye too, God it feels like I'm going psychotic! Thank God that I didn't do it, I'da had my ass handed to me And I knew it, But Proof isn't here To see me through it, I'm in the booth popping another pill, Tryna talk myself into it, Are you stupid? You gonna Start dissing people for no reason? Especially when you can't even Write a decent punchline even, You're lying to yourself, You're slowly dying, you're denying, Your health is declining With your self esteem, You're crying out for help...
[Chorus - Kobe]
[Bridge - Eminem]
Marshall, you're no longer the man, That's a bitter pill to swallow, All I know is I'm wallowing, Self-loathing and hollow, Bottoms up on the pill bottle, Maybe I hit my bottom tomorrow, My sorrow echos in this hall though, But I must be talking to the wall Though, I don't see nobody else (I guess I keep talking to myself) But all these other rappers suck Is all that I know, I've turned into a hater, I put up a false bravado, But Marshall is not an egomaniac, That's not his motto, He's not a desperado, He's desperate, His thoughts are bottled inside him, One foot on the brake, One on the throttle, Falling asleep with writers block In the parking lot of Mcdonalds, But instead of feeling sorry For yourself, do something about it, Admit you got a problem, Your brain is clouded, You pouted long enough, it isn't them, It's you, you fucking baby, Quit worrying 'bout what they do and do Shady, I'm fucking going crazy!
[Chorus - Kobe]
[Bridge - Eminem]
So I picked myself up off the ground And fucking swam before I drowned, Hit my bottom so hard I bounced twice, Advice this time around, It's different, Them last 2 albums didn't count, Encore I was on drugs, Relapse I was flushing 'em out, I've come to make it up to you, Now no more fucking around, I got something to prove to fans Cause I feel like I let 'em down, So please accept my apology, I finally feel like I'm back to normal, I feel like me again, Let me formally Re-introduce myself to you, For those of you who don't know: The new me's back to the old me, And homie I don't show no Signs of slowing or bowing, I'm blowing up all over, My life is no longer a movie But the show ain't over, homos, I'm back with a vengeance homie, Weezy keep your head up, T.I. keep your head up, Kanye keep your head up, Don't let up, just keep slaying 'em, Rest in peace to DJ AM Cause I know what this it's like, I strug
