If I Had
[00:02.86] "Life," by Marshall Mathers
[00:06.36] What is life?
[00:07.87] Life is like a big obstacle in front of your optical to slow you down
[00:12.11] And every time you think you've gotten past it
[00:13.86] It's gonna come back around to tackle you to the damn ground
[00:17.36] What are friends?
[00:18.86] Friends are people that you think are your friends
[00:20.86] But they really your enemies with secret identities
[00:23.61] And disguises to hide they true colors
[00:26.11] So just when you think you close enough to be brothers
[00:28.36] They wanna come back and cut your throat when you ain't lookin'
[00:31.12] What is money?
[00:32.86] Money is what makes a man act funny
[00:35.61] Money is the root of all evil
[00:38.11] Money'll make them same friends come back around
[00:40.36] Swearin' that they was always down
[00:43.11] What is life? I'm tired of life
[00:45.61] I'm tired of backstabbin'-ass snakes with friendly grins
[00:48.61] I'm tired of committin' so many sins
[00:51.11] Tired of always givin' in when this bottle of Henny wins
[00:54.36] Tired of never havin' any ends
[00:56.61] Tired of havin' skinny friends, hooked on crack and Mini Thins
[01:00.11] I'm tired of this DJ playin' your shit when he spins
[01:03.11] Tired of not havin' a deal
[01:05.11] Tired of havin' to deal with the bullshit without grabbin' the steel
[01:08.61] Tired of drownin' in my sorrow
[01:10.36] Tired of havin' to borrow a dollar for gas to start my Monte Carlo
[01:14.61] I'm tired of motherfuckers sprayin' shit and dartin' off
[01:17.36] I'm tired of jobs startin' off
[01:19.11] At $5.50 an hour, then this boss wonders why I'm smartin' off
[01:23.11] I'm tired of bein' fired every time I fart and cough
[01:25.86] Tired of havin' to work as a gas station clerk
[01:28.36] For this jerk, breathin' down my neck, drivin' me berserk
[01:31.11] I'm tired of usin' plastic silverware
[01:33.61] Tired of workin' at Builder's Square
[01:35.61] Tired of not bein' a millionaire
[01:37.61] But if I had a million dollars
[01:39.36] I'd buy a damn brewery and turn the planet into alcoholics
[01:43.11] If I had a magic wand
[01:44.76] I'd make the world suck my dick without a condom on
[01:47.51] While I'm on the john
[01:49.01] If I had a million bucks, it wouldn't be enough
[01:51.76] Because I'd still be out robbin' armored trucks
[01:54.51] If I had one wish, I would ask
[01:57.01] For a big enough ass for the whole world to kiss
[02:00.01] I'm tired of bein' white trash, broke and always poor
[02:03.01] Tired of takin' pop bottles back to the party store
[02:05.51] I'm tired of not havin' a phone
[02:07.51] Tired of not havin' a home to have one in if I did have one on
[02:11.51] Tired of not drivin' a BM
[02:13.51] Tired of not workin' at GM, tired of wantin' to be him
[02:17.26] Tired of not sleepin' without a Tylenol PM
[02:20.01] Tired of not performin' in a packed coliseum
[02:22.52] Tired of not bein' on tour
[02:24.51] Tired of fuckin' the same blonde whore
[02:26.51] After work, in the back of a Contour
[02:28.76] I'm tired of fakin' knots with a stack of ones
[02:31.01] Havin' a lack of funds and resortin' back to guns
[02:34.26] Tired of bein' stared at
[02:35.76] Tired of wearin' the same damn Nike Air hat
[02:38.76] Tired of steppin' in clubs, wearin' the same pair of Lugz
[02:42.01] Tired of people sayin' they're tired of hearin' me rap about drugs
[02:45.76] Tired of other rappers who ain't bringin' half the skill as me
[02:48.51] Sayin' they wasn't feelin' me on "Nobody's As Ill As Me"
[02:51.76] And I'm tired of radio stations tellin' fibs
[02:54.01] Tired of JLB sayin', "Where hip-hop lives"
[02:57.01] But if I had a million dollars
[02:59.26] I'd buy a damn brewery and turn the planet into alcoholics
[03:03.26] If I had a magic wand
[03:04.76] I'd make the world suck my dick without a condom on
[03:07.15] While I'm on the john
[03:08.90] If I had a million bucks, it wouldn't be enough
[03:11.40] Because I'd still be out robbin' armored trucks
[03:14.65] If I had one wish, I would ask
[03:16.65] For a big enough ass for the whole world to kiss
[03:20.40] You know what I'm sayin'?
[03:22.40] I'm tired of all of this bullshit, tellin' me to be positive
[03:27.15] How am I 'posed to be positive when I don't see shit positive?
[03:30.65] You know what I'm sayin'?
[03:31.90] I rap about shit around me, shit I see
[03:34.40] You know what I'm sayin'?
[03:35.15] Right now, I'm tired of everything
[03:37.15] Tired of all this player-hatin' that's goin' on in my own city
[03:39.90] Can't get no airplay, you know what I'm sayin'?
[03:42.90] But hey, it's cool though, you know what I'm sayin'?
[03:47.65] I'm just fed up, that's my word
