And it′s all in how you mix the two And it starts just where the light exists It′s a feeling that you cannot miss And it burns a hole through everyone that feels it
Well you′re never gonna find it If you′re looking for it Won′t come your way Well you′ll never find it If you′re looking for it
Should′ve done something but i′ve done it enough By the way your hands were shaking Rather waste some time with you
And you never would have thought in the end How amazing it feels just to live again It′s a feeling that you cannot miss It burns a hole through everyone that feels it
Well you′re never gonna find it If you′re looking for it Won′t come your way Well you′ll never find it If you′re looking for it
Should′ve done something but i′ve done it enough By the way your hands were shaking Rather waste some time with you
Should′ve said something but i′ve said it enough By the way my words were faded Rather waste some time with you
Waste some time with you
Should′ve done something but i′ve done it enough By the way your hands were shaking Rather waste my time with you
Should′ve said something but i′ve said it enough By the way my words were faded Rather waste my time with you
Should′ve done something but i′ve done it enough By the way my hands were shaking Rather waste some time with you

Hey, look at me, I’m a dancing bear in a bow to a gypsy king, He taught me everything I know and he plays a mean tambourine, And he got a gold ring in his ear, I got a brass one in my nose, For any mother’s son, for any momma’s cub way it goes.
Now, I like my life, that’s all I know, there’s nothing that I lack So why do I do dream of the bark of a tree To scratch my back and figure out Why I groove on a rainbow trout?
Dreams, dreams, dreams, recurring dreams. Hmmm, why do I have these dreams? Right foot in and right foot out Hmmm that’s what it’s all about - dreams.
Dreams…
I watch the world go buy through the bars of my mobile home Why ain’t I satisfied, what do you mean by “Yellowstone”? Now, he’s got a foulard made of silk, I got a collar, I got a chain, But he drives our car and he pays my bills and I only dance when it doesn’t rain.
Like any bear I’ve ever seen in ways that I was raised, But why do I dream of a running stream So cold and waiting? Tell me why I get so sleepy in the wintertime?
Dreams, dreams, dreams, recurring dreams. Ohmm, why do I have these dreams? Put your left foot in and your left foot out Hmm, baby, that’s what it’s all about - dreams.
Dreams…
Now, he’s got a lunch box, I got a pail, I climb a ladder, he plays the drum He got a moustache, I got a tail, We’re just doing like we always done
Two steps is all I know, two steps is okay by me But why all these dreams of rolling ‘round On daisy greens? I got no clue, Just this feeling of deja vu.
Dreams, dreams, dreams, recurring dreams. Hmmmm, why do I have these dreams? Right foot in and right foot out Hmmm, that’s what it’s all about - dreams.
Old yellow bricks, Love′s a risk, Quite the little Escapoligist Looked so miffed, When you wished, For a thousand places better than this,
You are the fugitive, But you dont know what you′re runnin from, You cant kid us, And you couldnt trick anyone, Houdini, love you dont know what you′re runnin away from,
Who wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up? Blinded by nostalgia, Who wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up?
She wasnt raised by the way, That the emperor put traps in the cage, And the days she being dull, Lead to nights readin beer bottles,
You′re such a fugitive, But you dont know what you′re runnin from, You cant kid us, And you couldnt trick anyone, Houdini, love you dont know what you′re runnin away from,
Who wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up? Blinded by nostalgia, Who wants to sleep in a city that never wakes up?
You′re at a loss, Just because, It wasnt all that you thought it was,
You are a fugitive but you dont know what you′re runnin away from,
She said I want to sleep in the city that never wakes up, And revel in nostalgia, I know I said he wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up but, Dorothy was right though
Unsealed on a porch a letter sat. Then you said, "I wanna leave it again." Once I saw her on a beach of weathered sand. And on the sand I wanna leave it again. Yeah. On a weekend I wanna wish it all away, yeah. And they called and I said that "I want what I said" and then I call out again. And the reason oughta′ leave her calm, I know. I said "I know what I wear not the boxer or the bag."
Ah yeah, can you see them out on the porch? Yeah, but they don′t wave. But I see them round the front way. Yeah. And I know, and I know. I don′t want to stay. Make me cry...
I see... Ooh I don′t know why there′s something else. I wanna drum it all away... Oh, I said, "I don′t, I don′t know whether I was the boxer or the bag."
Ah yeah, can you see them out on the porch? Yeah, but they don′t wave. But I see them round the front way. Yeah. And I know, and I know. I don′t wanna stay at all. I don′t wanna stay. Yeah. I don′t wanna stay. (x2)
Exponentially serving. Perpetually unnerving. Vehicle swerving. The adjectives they are all a-blurring. Freud walking the sidelines clipboard scoring the brain. Black magic painted traits. Makes me sain.
Hormones firing like a fifty foot Roman, yeah. Please don′t make me explain. Don′t matter anyway.
Phontom pain in my brain. It′s all that′s left of my leg.
Black and Red and Yellow and Black and Red and Yellow.
Heard you repeat a-what ya heard. Me knowing the truth I can not concure. Na-na.
Hormones firing like a fifty foot Roman, yeah. Please don′t make me explain. Doesn′t matter anyway. Hormones firing like a fifty foot Roman, yeah. Please don′t make me explain.
Yo bro. Tell us what′s happenin′. Um, I′m on the west, west side of, on the west coast. Give me a jingle, uh, when you get in from where the fuck you′re at.
Yeah, hormones firing like a fifty foot Roman, yeah. Please don′t make me explain. Doesn′t fucking matter anyway. Hormones firing like a fifty foot Roman, yeah. Please don′t make me explain.
Look at the stars; look how they shine for you And everything you do Yeah, they were all yellow
I came along; I wrote a song for you And all the things you do And it was called yellow
So then I took my turn Oh what a thing to have done And it was all yellow
Your skin, oh yeah your skin and bones Turn into something beautiful D′you know? You know I love you so You know I love you so
I swam across; I jumped across for you Oh what a thing to do ′Cos you were all yellow
I drew a line; I drew a line for you Oh what a thing to do And it was all yellow
And your skin, oh yeah your skin and bones Turn into something beautiful D′you know? For you I bleed myself dry For you I bleed myself dry
It′s true Look how they shine for you Look how they shine for you Look how they shine for… Look how they shine for you Look how they shine for you Look how they shine
Look at the stars Look how they shine for you And all the things that you do
What we have to do is deal with it when these individuals are young enough. If you will, 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.(burp)
We all have this idea that we should move up a little bit from our parents station and each generation should do a little bit better.
[Verse 1 - Eminem]
Alright, 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 basement And we can discuss statements thats made on this tape And its whole origin of the music that we all know and love The music 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 into Warren into hick territory I′d like to share a story, this is my story and cant nobody tell it for me You have well informed me, and 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 Ok 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]
So, let′s 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 That I once used to call home sweet home

[Verse 2 - Eminem]
I′d 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 Dyke And steal a god damn bike from somebody′s backyard And drop it off at the park that was the halfway mark To meet Kim had to walk back to her mamma′s on chalmers after dark To sneak me in the house when I′m kicked out my mom′s Thats about the time I first met Proof wit′ poof and gary on the steps at Osborne handin′ out some flyers He was doin some talent shows at Centerline High, I told him to stop by and check us 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]
So, let′s 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 That I once used to call home sweet home
Come on, let′s 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 That I once used to call home sweet home

Blue, quiet all out in a [?] I know you see feelings on my face And with all these roads Love feels cruel True, if you only knew what I would change Running towards you, my heart′s ablaze In swimming pools I drown with you
I fly in skies alone I keep it silent Up in the clouds, I′m home I′m fitting right in Closing my mind To wish I hold her tightly No, I′m not afraid to fall
[Chorus:] I don′t care Who do they think they are? We should be flying like superstars And when the world tries to give its all You just can′t Fight the love Fight the love Fight the love And I swear I′m gonna lift us up And wipe the sky with this yellow love I raise my hands cause I′m strong enough To hold down Both of us Both of us Both of us
I walk to the edge of a higher place Thought you could meet me about halfway Under the sun That yellow love
I fly in skies alone I keep it silent Up in the clouds, I′m home I′m fitting right in Closing my mind To wish I hold her tightly No, I′m not afraid to fall
[Chorus:] I don′t care Who do they think they are? We should be flying like superstars And when the world tries to give its all You just can′t Fight the love Fight the love Fight the love And I swear I′m gonna lift us up And wipe the sky with this yellow love I raise my hands cause I′m strong enough To hold down Both of us Both of us Both of us
(Oh, oh, oh) (Oh, oh, oh) (Oh, oh, oh) And I know that we don′t choose Still, you all got stuff to say And I know that′s how it goes But you say it anyway
I fly in skies alone I keep it silent Up in the clouds, I′m home I′m fitting right in Closing my mind To wish I hold her tightly No, I′m not afraid to fall
[Chorus:] I don′t care Who do they think they are? We should be flying like superstars And when the world tries to give its all You just can′t Fight the love Fight the love Fight the love And I swear I′m gonna lift us up And wipe the sky with this yellow love I raise my hands cause I′m strong enough To hold down Both of us Both of us Both of us
