Eminem - 3 AM
I know I shouldn't have gone on the road and toured
I knew I should've told somebody that my throat was sore
But I kept telling myself, "Yo, 8 Mile needs the pub"
And I figured with the time off after Eminem Show it would even up
But then that Benzino fuck got me to sink to his level
In more ways than one, I started rapping like I've been drinking lead metals
Shouting in an angry voice
I finally got the guts to tell Dre, but he said, "Yo Slim, you made your choice"
Soon as I'm on the plane from Europe
I'm makin arrangements for a nasal surgeon
Walk in his office and he has this look on his face like, "you're fucked"
Right then and there, I said my prayers, and thought I'd kiss rap goodbye
But he told me there was always a chance some of my voice could come back in time
So I head home, pushing back the tears as I tuck Hailie in
Not knowing what was ahead of me, or behind me, as I lie awake at 3 AM
CHORUS:
The day has past, a new dawn drifts from the sky
As the stars fade while others rise
I saw my life flash before me in front of my eyes
Wondering what could possibly be on the other side
With all my emotions running high
I was afraid of missing the boat if the ocean was running dry
So in one month of time, I had a new album ready to leak
I'd been so caught up on my block I never thought of my cred on the streets
I never thought for a second about the respect I'd slaved to get
So with a few lyrical sheets I pressed I made my bed
And all I could think about was my aching head
I was poppin sleeping pills like they were made of pez
With no thought of my well being, until one day when Hailie said
That she hardly knew who I was, that's when I knew something had to change right then
I could remain depressed, but I had no right to break my promise to her
So I entered the rehab program at 3 AM, thank God that it worked
CHORUS
I don't know what song can say what you mean to me
If I need to be rhymin every syllable just to do you decently
For the longest time, I didn't even know how I could handle it
So I just sat in bed, lookin back on shit, with only a candle lit
Sat there till the mattress bent permanently with my ass imprint
Sat there till my back and legs were so numb I didn't know if I could stand or sit
Waiting till the answer hit, waiting to explode like gas when a match is lit
But all there is are facts, that's it
I can only hope that there is rap after death
I was at my wit's end when it finally dawned on me
That it's not a matter of if, but when, and your time came before they called on me
But I still had a strong body, because whether or not my voice can remain Slim
You're the living Proof that life doesn't sleep at 3 AM
CHORUS
I think that is this really relly great. But is this real lyrics?
