"Take From Me"
(feat. Claret Jai)
You're going to be okay, kid. You're going to be okay
[Hook: Claret Jai]
Is everything not enough?
What more can I give up?
Is there anyone that I can trust?
I give you my all and you still take from me
[Verse 1: Royce da 5'9"]
Always been the type of dude that'll feed my clique
I know that without the fans, I ain't *
But y'all better read my lips, I don't spit raps this I'll
For you to just *** and steal and leak my *, so peep my drift
I hope y'all don't think you're helping me out with that * that * stressin' me out
Nickel nine is blowin' up
Christmas time, you should hang my album on top of your fireplace
Cause around that time, my stocking's goin' up
Feels like a victory, bittersweet, cause the bigger I get?
The bigger the wedge, between the relationship of me and my bigger bro, hear what I said?
Feels like the * just switched on me
Everything I do for the nigga, and the nigga know
I would do anything for him, but the nigga refuse
To just quit straight *tin' on me
Keepin' your distance? Probably best if you don't wanna * with me
But you know me probably best, * pity
You want that? You know it's like... chest
Tough titty, the problems, you got a problem, you think I'm already set
So I'm a look down on you? Just be proud of me, you already got my respect
I ain't gonna say something I regret so I'm a just stop, chasing the pain
Let you deal with the fact we don't get along cause I got a big face in the game
Sometimes I feel like * my life, I * with a few niggas that I know that
If my chick was a Shady ho? Niggas wouldn't think twice 'fore they * my wife
Guess that's the difference in friends and associates, I done been broke, I done been through the motions
I don't pay no attention to birds, I use my scope to tend to the vultures
No one ever blows up your phone to talk, I don't make money just to lone it to y'all
Tell a nigga that the new album is like dialing and then talking to a hole in the wall
Please look at these expenses, these niggas expensive, if I need to loan you money every time
I see you just to be your friend, bitch, I don't need your friendship
[Hook]
[Brigde: Claret Jai]
And I give and you take
And you just walk away without nothing to say
And I give you my all and you just take from me
[Verse 2: Eminem]
I live in a bubble, I struggle with the fame
Trouble as the pain grows double, give a * what you say
When my music you take so subtle, just to give it away
To people who don't even appreciate flows, motha *a, I'm living today
Cause I break my back to give you my art, you steal my thoughts
It's like driving a spike through my heart
You might think it's not that big of a deal to steal from me
But music is all I got
Aside from my daughters, not to sound like a martyr
But it's getting harder than I thought
To not just go crazy, trapped in this house, I'm about to just snap
Am I not deserving of what I got, did I not work for it?
Put it all in every I record
Well then please tell me why on this Earth
Lord does it keep happening, I keep rapping
But I wonder sometimes is it worth all the bull *
Cause it feels like a down there ain’t no gettin up from
But I won't let it get me down, I won't succumb like many think so * them
They'll appreciate me when I'm gone, they say it was I'll, right?
The way I kill mics? But the way I feel right now?
It just feels like I'm so done with this * I might as well wipe
I have nothing else to
