Talkin’ 2 Myself - Eminem, Kobe

Before I start this song, man

I just wanna thank everybody for being so patient

And bearing with me over these last couple of years

While I figure this shit out

Is anybody out there?

It feels like I’m talking to myself

No one seems to know my struggle

And everything I come from

Can anybody hear me, yeah?

I guess I keep talking to myself

It feels like I’m going insane

Am I the one who’s crazy, yeah?

So why in the world do I feel so alone

Nobody but me, I’m on my own

Is there anyone out there

Who feels the way I feel

If there is,

Let me hear just so I know that I’m not the only one

I went away, I guess, and opened up some lanes

But there was no one who even knew I was going through growin' pains

Hatred was flowing through my veins

On the verge of going insane

I almost made a song dissing Lil Wayne

It’s like I was jealous of him 'cause of the attention he was gettin'

I felt horrible about myself

He was spitting and I wasn’t

Anyone who was buzzing back then coulda got it

Almost went at Kanye too

God it feels like I’m goin' psychotic

Thank God that I didn’t do it

I’da had my ass handed to me

And I knew it but Proof isn’t here to see me through it

I’m in the booth popping another pill tryna talk myself into it

Are you stupid?

You’re gon' start dissing people for no reason?

Especially when you can’t even write a decent punchline even

You’re lying to yourself, you’re slowly dying, you’re denying

Your health is declining with your self-esteem, you’re crying out for help

Is anybody out there?

It feels like I’m talking to myself

No one seems to know my struggle

And everything I come from

Can anybody hear me, yeah?

I guess I keep talking to myself

It feels like I’m going insane

Am I the one who’s crazy, yeah?

So why in the world do I feel so alone

Nobody but me, I’m on my own

Is there anyone out there

Who feels the way I feel

If there is,

Let me hear just so I know that I’m not the only one

Marshall you’re no longer the man, that’s a bitter pill to swallow

All I know is I’m wallowin', self-loathing and hollow

Bottoms up on the pill bottle

Maybe I’ll hit my bottom tomorrow

My sorrow echoes in this hall though

But I must be talking to the wall though

I don’t see nobody else (I guess I keep talking to myself)

But all these other rappers suck is all that I know

I’ve turned into a hater, I’ve put up a false bravado

But Marshall is not an egomaniac that’s not his motto

He’s not a desperado he’s desperate, his thoughts are bottled

Inside him, one foot on the brake one on the throttle

Falling asleep with writer’s block in the parking lot of McDonald’s

But instead of feeling sorry for yourself do something about it

Admit you got a problem you brain is clouded you pouted long enough

It isn’t them it’s you you fuckin' baby

Quit worrying about what they do and do shady

I’m fucking going crazy

Is anybody out there?

It feels like I’m talking to myself

No one seems to know my struggle

And everything I come from

Can anybody hear me, yeah?

I guess I keep talking to myself

It feels like I’m going insane

Am I the one who’s crazy, yeah?

So why in the world do I feel so alone

Nobody but me, I’m on my own

Is there anyone out there

Who feels the way I feel

If there is,

Let me hear just so I know that I’m not the only one

So I picked myself off the ground and fuckin' swam 'fore I drowned

Hit my bottom so hard I bounced twice suffice this time around

It’s different them last two albums didn’t count

Encore I was on drugs, Relapse I was flushing em out

I’ve come to make it up to you now, no more fucking around

I’ve got something to prove to fans 'cause I feel like I’ve let em down

So please accept my apology I finally feel like I’m back to normal

I feel like me again, let me formally reintroduce myself to you for those of

you who don’t know

The new me’s back to the old me and homie I don’t show no

Signs of slowing up, pulling up, blowing up, all over

My life is no longer a movie but the show ain’t over homos

I’m back with a vengeance, homie,

Weezy keep ya head up,

T.I., keep ya head up,

Kanye, keep ya head up,

Don’t let up, just keep slaying em

Rest in Peace to DJ AM

'Cause I know what it’s like

I struggle with this shit every single day and um…

Is anybody out there?

It feels like I’m talking to myself

No one seems to know my struggle

And everything I come from

Can anybody hear me, yeah?

I guess I keep talking to myself

It feels like I’m going insane

Am I the one who’s crazy, yeah?

So why in the world do I feel so alone

Nobody but me, I’m on my own

Is there anyone out there

Who feels the way I feel

If there is,

Let me hear just so I know that I’m not the only one

So there it is (there it is)

Damn

It feels like I just woke up or something

I guess I just… forgot who the fuck I was man

Ay yo

And to anybody I thought about going at, it was never nothing personal,

just some shit I was going through

And to everybody else…

I’m back!

(I'm back) ha-ha
