(Eminem speaking) You know, people just don't, people just don't see how much work is really involved in this rap shit I didn't know it, I didn't see it I never saw it until I was actually in it You really gotta be in it to understand what it's like But you always gotta people always gotta see your smile You always gotta put on that fake You know wha' I'm sayin'?

Don't trust nobody got to look over your shoulder constantly. I remember the days when I was a young kid growing up Looking in the mirror, dreaming about blowin' up The rock crowds. Make money. Chill with the honeys. Sign autographs and whatever the people want from me. Shit, It's funny how impossible dreams manifest And the games that be comin' with it Nevertheless, you got to go for the gusto But you don't know about the blood, sweat, and tears and Losin' some of your peers. And losin' some of yourself to the years past, gone by Hopefully it don't manifest for the wrong guy Egomaniac and the brainiac don't know how to act shit deep 48 track studio gangsta mack sign the deal Think he's gonna make a mil but never will 'Til he crosses over, still Fillin' your head with fantasies Come with me Show the sacrifice it takes to make the G's You wanna be a rock superstar in the biz And take shit from people who don't know what it is I wish it was all fun and games But the price of fame is high And some can't pay the way Feel trapped in What you rappin' about?

(Noreaga speaking) When you sign to a record label you don't know you sign your life over and these white boys don't care about you 'cause the minute you fall off They'll find another Noreaga and they'll find another Capone-n-Noreaga and they'll find another B-Real So you need to just keep Stack your chips up Do what you gotta do while you're hot And mafuckin' get out the game Stick to the drug game is even worse Because in the drug game if somebody jerk you You could shoot 'em and kill 'em, and if in this game somebody jerk you you gotta be humble.

My own son don't know me I'm chillin' in a hotel room, lonely But I thank God I'm with my homies But sometimes I wish I was back home But only no radio or video's gonna show me no love They're phony Got to hit the road solely so the record gets pushed by Sony I'm in the middle like Monie And the press say that my own people disown me And the best way back to keep your head straight Never inflate the cranium They're too worried about them honeys at the Palladium Who just wanna cling on, swing on, and so on Go on fall off - the ho's fall off To the next rap superstar, with no shame Give him a year and they'll be right out the game The same as the last one who came before him Gained fame started getting' ignored I warned him, assured him This ain't easy Take it from the weazy Sleazy people want to be so cheesy They're fucking evil...
