[Dm] [F] Life, by Marshall Mathers.
[Dm]
What is life?
[Am] Life is like a big obstacle,
in front of your optic, where it slows [Dm] you down.
And every time you think you've gotten [Am] past it,
it's gonna come back around and attack you to the damn [Bb] ground.
What are friends?
Friends [C] are people that you think are your [F] friends,
but they're really your [Dm] enemy.
Your secret identities.
And the guys, it's to hide their true [Am] colors.
So, when you think you're close enough to [Dm] be brothers,
they wanna come back and cut your throat
when you ain't looking.
[Am] What is money?
Money [Dm] is what makes a man act funny.
Money is the root of all evil.
[Am] Money will make them same friends [Dm] come back around,
swearing that they was all weighed down.
[Am] What is life?
I'm tired of life.
[Dm]
I'm tired of backstabbing ass snakes with [F] friendly grins.
I'm tired of committing so many [Dm] sins.
Tired of always giving in
when it's bottling [Am] Henny bins.
Tired of never having [D] any ends.
Tired of having skinny friends
get sucked on crack and mini [F]-dance.
I'm tired of this DJ playing your [Dm] shit
when he spins.
Tired of not having to deal.
[Am] Tired of having to deal with the bullshit without grabbing [Dm] a steal.
Tired of drowning in my sorrow.
Tired of having to borrow a dollar for gas
to start my Monte Carlo.
I'm tired of motherfucking spraying [Am] shit
and darting off.
I'm tired of jobs starting off at [Dm] 5.50. an hour then it's 4th when it's when I'm [F] smarting off. Tired of being fired every time I [Dm] fart in the car. Tired of having to work at some gas station clerk for [C] this jerk. Breathing down my neck, driving me [Bb] berserk. I'm tired of using [Dm] plastic silverware. [Am] Tired of working at Builder's Square. Tired of not being [Dm] a millionaire. But if I had a million dollars [Am] I'd buy a damn brewery and turn the [Dm] plant into alcoholics. If I had a magic wand [Am] I'd make the world suck my dick without a condom on while [Dm] I'm on the john. If I had a million bucks [F] it wouldn't be enough because [Dm] I'd still be out robbing on with trucks. If I had one wish I would ask [Am] for a big enough ass for the [Ab] whole world [Dm] to kiss. Tired of being white trash, broken on [Am] the floor. Tired of taking pot bottles back to the [Dm] party store. Tired of not having a phone. [Am] Tired of not having a home to have one in if a date [Dm] happened on. Tired of not driving a BM. [C] Tired of not working at gym. [Dm] Tired of wanting to be him. Tired of not sleeping without a Tylenol [Am] PM. Tired of not performing in [Dm] the PAC Coliseum. Tired of not being on tour. Tired [Am] of walking the same blind whore after work in the back of [Dm] a Contour. Tired of faking naps with a stack [Am] of wands. Having a lack of fun to [Dm] resort back to guns. Tired of being stared at. Tired [C] of wearing the same damn Nike Air Hat. [Bb] Tired of stepping in clubs wearing the same pair of lugs. [F] Tired of people saying they're tired of hearing me rap about [Dm] drugs. Tired of other rappers who ain't bringing half [Am] the skill as me saying they wasn't feeling [Dm] me or nobody's feeling me. Tired of radio stations [Am] telling fibs. Tired of JV's saying we're hitting hot [Dm] lids. But if I had a million dollars [Gb] I'd buy a damn brewery and turn the planet into [Dm] alcoholics. If I had a magic wand [Am] I'd make the world suck my dick without a condom on while [Dm] the money's drawn. If I had a million bucks [Am] it wouldn't be enough cause I'd still be [Dm] out robbing all the trucks. If I had one wish [Am] I would ask for a big enough ass for the whole world, [Dm] yes. You know what I'm saying? [F] I'm tired of all this bullshit. [Dm] I'm telling you to be positive. How am I supposed to be [Am] positive when I don't see shit positive? You know what I'm [Dm] saying? Rap about shit around me [F] shit at sea. Right now I'm tired of [Dm] everything. Tired of all this player hating that's going on in my [Am] own city. Can't get aware of player, you know [Dm] what I'm saying? But hey, it's cooled [Am] off. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? You [Dm] screw it up. That's my [Am] word. [D] [F]
