These times are so hard, and they're getting even harder.
You heard of hell, well I was sent from it.
Don't you wanna grow up to be just like me, I slap women and eat mushrooms then OD.
Never was a gangsta, till I graduated to one.
It's just hard when you've spent so much time on something, writing and recording, laying the vocals, getting the hook right, getting the beat right, making everything sound right - you spent a freaking week trying to make it sound perfect, and someone comes along and shoots it down.
I had this whole Slim Shady concept of being two different people, having two different sides of me. One of them I was trying to let go, and I looked at the mirror and smashed it. That was the whole intro of the Slim Shady EP. Slim Shady was coming to haunt me.
