08.Say Good Bye Hollywood [The Eminem Show (2002)]
[Eminem] I thought I had it all figured out, I did I thought I was tough enough to stick it out with Kim But I wasn't tough enough to juggle two things at once I found myself layin on my knees in cuffs which shoulda been a reason enough, for me to get my stuff and just leave - how come I couldn't see this shit myself? It's just me, nobody couldn't see the shit I felt Knowin damn well she wasn't gonna be there when I fell to catch me, the minute shit was heated, she just bailed I'm standin here swingin like thirty people by myself I couldn't even see the millimeter when it fell Turned around saw Gary stashin the heater in his belt Saw the bouncers rush him and beat him to the ground I just sold two million records, I don't need to go to jail I'm not about to lose my freedom over no female I need to slow down, try to get my feet on solid ground, so for now I'm..
[Chorus]
[Eminem] I bury my face in comic books, cause I don't want to look at nothin, this world's too much, I've swallowed all I could If I could swallow a bottle of Tylenol I would And end it for good, just say goodbye to Hollywood I probably should, these problems are pilin all at once Cause everything that bothers me, I got it bottled up I think I'm bottomin out, but I'm not about to give up I gotta get up, thank God, I got a little girl And I'm a responsible father, so not a lot of good I'd be to my daughter, layin in the bottom of the mud Must be in my blood cause I don't know how I do it All I know is I don't want to follow in the footsteps of my dad, cause I hate him so bad The worst fear that I had was growin up to be like his fuckin ass Man if you could understand why I am the way that I am What do I say to my fans when I tell 'em I'm..
[Chorus]
[Eminem] I don't wanna quit, but shit, I feel like this is it for me to have this much appeal like this is sick This is not a game, this fame, in real life this is sick Publicity stunt my ass, conceal my fuckin dick Fuck the guns, I'm done, I'll never look at gats If I scrap, I'll scrap like I ain't never whupped some ass I love my fans, but no one ever puts a grasp on the fact I've sacrificed everything I have I never dreamt I'd get to the level that I'm at This is wack, this is more than I ever coulda asked Everywhere I go, a hat, a sweater hood or mask What about math, how come I wasn't ever good at that? It's like the boy in the bubble, who never could adapt I'm trapped, if I could go back, I never woulda rapped I sold my soul to the devil I'll never get it back I just wanna leave this game with level head intact Imagine goin from bein a no one to seein everything blow up and all you did was just grow up emceein It's fuckin crazy, cause all I wanted was to give Hailie the life I never had, instead I forced us to live alienated So I'm sayin..
[Chorus]
[Outro: singing] Goodbye Goodbye Hollywood (Goodbye) Please don't cry for me (It's been real) When I'm gone for good (This shit is not for me) So goodbye Goodbye Hollywood (I'm not a fuckin star) Please don't cry for me (No way) When I'm gone for good (I'm goin back home)
«Прощай, Голливуд, прощай» (Прощай) И пожалуйста, не плачь по мне, (Это по настоящему) Когда я ухожу к лучшей жизни. (Это говно не для меня) «Прощай, Голливуд, прощай» (Я не стремлюсь в звёзды) И пожалуйста, не плачь по мне, (Никогда) Когда я ухожу к лучшей жизни... (Я иду домой)
