Eminem - Careful What You Wish For - Текст песни

[Verse 1:]
So this is it... 
This is what I wished for 
Just isn't how I envisioned it 
Feigned to the point of imprisonment 
I just thought the shit'd be different 
But something 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 (in)to a monster 
I became a hypocrite 
Concert after concert 
I was raking in the dough 
Rolling in green 
Had the game hemmed up 
Like a sewing machine 
But I was losing 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 3, then 3 
Years later, they'd 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 shit'll be ill-matic 
And eight years later, I'm still at it 
Divorce, re-married 
A felon 
A father 
Sleeping 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 wit' 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 wit' 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 praying for me 
Every day and for some reason 
It's been weighing on my mind heavy 
'Cause I don't read every 
Letter I get, 
But something 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 shit 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 already got 
God on my side 
And it's been one hell of a ride, hasn't it? 
Just watchin' it from an 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 shit 
This is like a vibe you get 
Go ahead and bob to it 
Just watch what you wish for, 
'cause I got the shit 

[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 wit' 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 wit' it, 'cause it might just 
Come back on you ten-fold
