I always took that line to mean that the fans or whoever looks at Em, the superrich multimillionaire and says "If I only had half of it...", because that part of the song is about people on the outside criticizing Em for whining when he has so much money, because he shouldn't have anything to complain about, he's got enough money to set his great-great grandkids for life. And then "if you only knew the half of it" was Em responding to the criticism and saying that fame or backstabbers or whatever make his life miserable despite the money.
I didn't explain that well, sorry.
you did a great job explaining, thanks. And Geno, my bad for the tripple post I can't figure out how to edit my posts into one post. This song is just awesome lol.
No worries dude, I fixed it for you. In the future, if you ever need to fix it, click "edit" on the second/third post and copy the message, delete the post, and paste the message back into your first post.
. Back to the original topic, I really believe Eminem had the potential to make a fantastic album with Encore. I mean he still had the witt to pull it off. He just got lazy. Oh what could of been
