Eminem - Yellow Brick Road lyrics
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 constitue what this country at times calls its 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 lets cut this bullshittin and dub lets get it started lets start addressin this issue and open it up lets take this shit back to the basement and we can discuss statements thats 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 tryna destroy lets rewind it to '89 when i was boy on the east side of detroit crossin 8 mile and a war and they hit territory id like to share a story this is my story and cant nobody tell it for me i am well aware that i dont belong here you made that perfectly clear i get my ass kicked damn theyre everywhere from bel air shoppin centre just for stoppin in there from the black side all the way to the white side okay theres 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 lets 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 lets 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 id steal a goddamn bike from somebodyz backyard and drop it off at the park that was the halfway mark to meet kim had to walk back to her mommaz at Chalmers after dark to sneak me in the house when im kicked out my mumz thats about the time i first met proof wed goof hed carry on the steps said i was bored handin out some flyerz 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 im out my mind shook his head like white boyz dont know how to rhyme i spit out a line and rhymed birthday with first place and they both had the same rhymez 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 lets 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 lets 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 MC Shan came through And said that Puma's the brand cause the Klan makes troops it was rumors but man god damn they flew musta been true because man we done banned they shoes I had the new ones the Cool J Ice Lambs, suede too But we just threw em' in the trash like they yesterday's news guess who came through next?
