Cocaine

[Intro: Eminem & (Jazmine Sullivan)]

Yeah. (Oh)

This game is like cocaine. (I want this more than anything in the world)

Haha... So do I... at least I thought I did

(Got to have it, yeah I need it, I'm addicted, yeah I'm fading fading)

[Verse 1: Eminem]

This is a beat with no words at first, it’s a blank painting

Exercising the mind, it’s brain strength training

It starts off something like, "Shady's an insane maniac

Yeah, Slim Shady, that's a zany name, ain't it?"

Now all you need's an image to go with the name, baby

Wifebeaters and white t-shirts, Hanes mainly

It's a long shot, but is it possible? There's a lane, maybe

If not he's gon' have to come and change the whole game, ain't he?

He wants the fame so bad he can taste it, he can see his name up in lights

Women screaming his fucking name, fainting

Shady did it, he sold out the whole dang stadium

Joe Shmoe made it, he took his Plain Jane lady

And his baby Hailie out the trailer but he ain't trailing anymore

He's ahead of the race, while maintaining his innocence

Little does he know his train is derailing

And he's about to be raped by this game anally, now

[Hook: Jazmine Sullivan]

What would you do for a little bit?

What would you give for a little bit of that C-O-C-A-I-N-E?

I got to have it, yeah I made it, I'm addicted, yeah I'm fading

(Cause once you cave in, you don't want to leave)

[Verse 2: Eminem]

You’re operating on all cylinders, syllables spit like dillingers

Spilling your guts, people are feeling your mic skills

But these haters are ice grilling ya

Willing to sacrifice anything for the life that they might steal from ya

Fake friends will kill for ya, die for ya but you can’t decipher

Why for the life of ya, it wasn’t like this when you were cyphering

Argue with your wife again, she found Vicodin

In your pants last night again, your dispute's public

Nothing is private anymore, oh, and your best friend?

Say bye-bye to him, what kind of apple you take a bite of Slim?

(But this is what you wanted Marshall, ain't it?) Fuck no!

The way that it turned out was nothin' like the picture that I painted

In my head, sometimes a dream and making it's more fun

Than it's to actually make it, the game stripped me naked

It robbed me of ever having another real relationship

With another girl, this world is a fucking trip

As I slip in another world, proceed, take another hit

Sniff 'til I fucking hurl, tell 'em all to fucking sit

And spin 'til they fucking twirl, middle finger up again

Relapsing back in this game, oh well, fuck it then, now

[Hook]

[Bridge: Jazmine Sullivan]

You start off bright, just to see your name in lights

Just so you can live the life

You take a bite and lose your sight, they call this (fame)

You think you're good, just cause you got out the hood

Concerned only with getting dough, no longer poor

But you lost your soul, they call it (fame)

I hear it callin', my name is callin'

Why you struggling when you could be ballin'?

My head is saying yes but my feet is stallin'

So many walkin' by the end they fallin'

But I gots to have it, like Eve and the apple

She had to grab it, I got to take it, I got to make it

That's the plan and I can't forsake it, yeah

[Hook]
