Eminem - If I Had(1999)

[00:02.51] "Life" by Marshall Mathers
[00:06.19] What is life?
[00:07.63] Life is like a big obstacle
[00:09.43] Put in front of your optical to slow you down
[00:11.77] And every time you think you've gotten past it
[00:13.43] It's gonna come back around and tackle you to the damn ground
[00:17.24] What are friends?
[00:18.85] Friends are people that you think are your friends
[00:21.04] But they're really your enemies with secret identities and disguises to hide their true colors
[00:26.19] So just when you think you're close enough to be brothers they wanna come back and cut your throat when you ain't looking
[00:31.70] What is money?
[00:33.19] Money is what makes a man act funny
[00:35.56] Money is the root of all evil
[00:37.67] Money'll make them same friends come back around swearing that they was always down
[00:42.63] What is life?

[01:33.23] Tired of working at Builder's Square
[01:35.34] Tired of not being a millionaire
[01:37.25] But if I had a million dollars
[01:39.01] I'd buy a damn brewery and turn the planet into alcoholics
[01:43.07] If I had a magic wand
[01:44.69] I'd make the world suck my dick without a condom on while I'm on the john
[01:48.87] If I had a million bucks
[01:50.50] It wouldn't be enough because I'd still be out robbing armored trucks
[01:54.67] If I had one wish
[01:56.15] I would ask for a big enough ass for the whole world to kiss
[01:59.78] I'm tired of being white trash, broke and always poor
[02:02.64] Tired of taking pop bottles back to the party store

[03:08.73] If I had a million bucks
[03:10.39] It wouldn't be enough because I'd still be out robbing armored trucks
[03:14.44] If I had one wish
[03:16.02] I would ask for a big enough ass for the whole world to kiss

[03:26.62] How am I 'posed to be positive when I don't see shit positive?
[03:29.92] Y'know what I'm saying?
[03:31.63] I rap about shit around me, shit I see
[03:33.91] Y'know what I'm saying?
[03:34.70] And right now I'm tired of everything
[03:36.87] Tired of all this player-hating that's going on in my own city
[03:40.26] Can't get no airplay
[03:41.35] Y'know what I'm saying?
