Lyrics for Yellow Brick Road by Eminem:
| | | Artist: | Eminem |
| | Album: | Encore | | Track: | Yellow Brick Road | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 133 | | | | Lyrics: | [Intro]
What we have to do is deal with it when these idividuals are young enough. If you wish
to be saved, not in a religious sense but not to constitute what this country at times calls if or
which over. We seem to be approaching an age of the gross. We all have this idea that we should move
up from our parents station and each generation should do a little bit better.
[Verse 1-
Eminem]
Come on, let's cut the bullshit enough
Let's get it started, let's start
addressing this issue and open it up
Let's take this shit back to bassmint
And we can
disscuss statements thats made on this tape
And its whole origin of the music that we all know
and love
The music that we all enjoy the music you all accuse me of tryna destroy
Let's
rewind it to 89 when I was a boy on the east side of Detroit
Crossin 8 Mile in the border in
the hate territory
I'd like to share a story, this is my story and cant no body tell it for
me
You will well inform me, I am well aware that I don't belong here
You've made that
perfectly clear, I get my ass kicked damn near everywhere
From Bel-Air shopping center just for
stopping in there
From the black side all the way to the white side
Okay there's a bright
side a day that I might slide
You may call it a past 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 oh well known tracks
[Chorus x2]
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
I once used to call home sweet home
[Verse 2-
Eminem]
I roam the streets so much they call me a drifter
Sometimes I stick up a thumb
just to hitch hike
Just to get picked up to get me a lift to 8 mile and van dike
And steal
a god damn bike from somebody's backyard
And drop it off at the park that was the half way
mark
To meet Kim had to walk back to her mama's them dramas after dark
To sneak me in the
house when I'm kicked out my mom's
Thats about the time I first met Proof when poof he'd carry
on the set
Set eyes born in and out some flyers, he was doin some talent shows
At center
line, I had told him to stop by and check this out sometime
He looked at me like I'm out my
mind shook his head like white boys dont know how to rhyme
I spit out a line and rhymed
birthday with first place
And we both had the same rhymes that sound alike
We was on the
same shit that Big Daddy Kane shit with compound syllables sound combined
From that day we was
down to ride somehow we knew we'd meet again somewhere down the line
[Chorus
x2]
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
I once used to call
home sweet home
[Verse 3- Eminem]
My first year in 9th grade, can't forget that day
at school
It was cool till your man MC Sham came through
And said that Boom was the brain
cuz the clan makes troops
It was rumors but man god damned they flew
Musta been true
because man we done banned they shoes
I had the new ones the Cool J, Ice land swayed
too
And we just through them in the trash like they yesterday's news
Guess who came
through next, X clam debut
Professor X and glorious exists in a state of red, black, and
green
With a key sissies now with this bein a new trend
We don't fit in crackas is out
with Cactus albums
Blackness is in, African symbols and medallions
Represents black power
and we ain't know what it meant
Me and my man Howard and ??? would go to the mall with
'em
All over our necks like we're showin 'em off not knowin at all
We was bein laughed at
you ain't even half black
You ain't supposed to have that homie let me grab that
And that
Flavor Flave clock we gon' have to snatch that
All I remember is meetin back at Manix's
basement
Sayin how we hate this, our races wit dope the x clan take this
Which reminds me
back in 89 me and Kim broke up for the first time
She was tryna two time me and there was this
black girl
At our school who thought I was cool cuz I rapped so she was kinda eyein me
And
oh the irony guess what her name was ain't even gon' say it plus
The same color hair as hers
was and blue contacts and a pair of jugs
The bombest god damn girl in our whole school if I
could pull it
Not only would I become more popular but I would be able to piss Kim off at the
same time
But it backfired I was supposed to dump her but she dumped me for this black
guy
And thats the last I ever seen or heard or spoke to the oh foolish pride girl
But I've
heard people say they heard the tape and it ain't that bad
But it was I singled out a whole
race and for that apologize
I was wrong cuz no matter what color a girl is she still a
[bitch?]
[Chorus x2]
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
I once
used to call home sweet home | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
