Eminem – Yellow Brick Road

scritto da admin

[Spoken]
What we have to do is deal with it when these individuals are young enough
If you want to be saved not in a religious sense
But we have to constitute what this country ?? for if only children
We seem to be approachin an age of the gross (burp)
We all have this idea that we should move up a little bit from our parents station
And each generation should a little better

[Eminem]
Alright come on let’s cut this bullshittin’ and dub
Let’s get it started let’s start addressin’ this issue
And open it up
Let’s take this shit back to the basement
And we can discuss statements that’s made on this tape
And this whole origina
The music that we all know and love the music we all enjoy
The music that you accuse me of tryin’ to destroy
Let’s rewind it to ’89 when I was boy on the East side of Detroit
Crossin’ 8 Mile and a war and they hit territory
I’d like to share a story this is my story
And can’t nobody tell it for me
I am well aware that I don’t belong here
You made that perfectly clear
I get my ass kicked damn they’re everywhere
From bel air shoppin’ centre just for stoppin’ in there
From the black side all the way to the white side
Okay there’s a bright side
A day that I might slide
You may call it a pass I call it haulin’ my ass
Through that patch of grass over them railroad tracks
Oh them railroad tracks them old railroad tracks
Them good old notorious so well known tracks

[Chorus]
So let’s go back
Follow the yellow brick road
As we go on another episode
Journey with me as I take you through this nifty little place
That I once used to call home sweet home
Come on let’s go back
Follow the yellow brick road
As we go on another episode
Journey with me as I take you through this nifty little place
That I once used to call home sweet home

I roam the streets so much they call me a drifter
Sometimes I stick up a thumb just to hitchhike
Just to get picked up theyd’ give me a lift up
8 Mile and van dyke I’d steal a goddamn bike
From somebody’s backyard
And drop it off at the park
That was the halfway mark
To meet Kim had to walk back to her momma’s and charmer’s
After dark to sneak me in the house
When I’m kicked out my mum’s
That’s about the time I first met Proof
Wed goof hed carry on the steps said I was bored handin’ out some flyers
He was doin’ some talent shows at Center Line High
I told him to stop by and check this out some time
He looked at me like I’m out my mind
Shook his head like white boys don’t know how to rhyme
I spit out a line and rhymed birthday with first place
And they both had the same rhymes that soundalike
We was on that same shit
That big daddy kane shit
Where compound syllables sound combined
From that day we was down to ride
Somehow we knew we’d meet again somewhere down the line

[Chorus]
So let’s go back
Follow the yellow brick road
As we go on another episode
Journey with me as I take you through this nifty little place
That I once used to call home sweet home
Come on let’s go back
Follow the yellow brick road
As we go on another episode
Journey with me as I take you through this nifty little place
That I once used to call home sweet home

My first year in 9th grade
Can’t forget that day in school
It was cool to your man
