Selfish Lying World
Is Eminems name just a synomyn, find myself singing that same damn hymn again. My lifes in the gutter of filth and sin . I watched the man on the corner sippin' his gin. I saw this homeless bum again, on the street corner and I slipped him a ten as I face this world of selfish lying men.It's back to the same 9-5, that damn weekly job on which I can't even survive. My refrigerator may be empty but I'm still alive. I'm tryin' to catch the bus but I need 2 bucks to ride.
I saw that homeless man again, but I was broke this time I'm sure he'd spent that ten. He must of walked to the liqour store and bought some gin
but I'm sure I'll see him again. So I found a five in the grass, waited a few minutes on the bus to pass. I caught a ride and made my way to work.
I had worked all week but got no money from the jerk. So then another friday came, would it be the same as the friday before. Would I be broke and be walking to that same corner store.
I got home about ten last night. I wasn't ready to confront my feelings and explode into a fight. I turned the key and walked into the door, put my stuff on the floor and wished the world wasn't such a whore. I felt like I was ready to whoop some ass. I was workin all day but bringing home no cash.
How else was I to respond, when I'd worked all week and the funds were gone. How else was I gonna explain , it was the same bullshit as yesterday.
It was the same monkey I had to get off my back. It was the same trail I took as I walked the track. I knew I had to make it on my own. I wasn't ready to call this selfish lyin' world my home.
