(Chorus)-Lyfe Jennings
I’ve been in this game more than long enough
To see enough champagne and girls for a lifetime
But someone gave me a chance, that fateful verse
When I’m knocking on them gates, I’ll still remember that rhyme
That was my destiny…
1st verse-Eminem
Yeah it was back in ’96
Skinny Detroit kid with the Nike kicks
Out for trouble, we brush shoulders and its curtains
Yeah, fight me #%%*$
I couldn’t fight the itch
It was like writer’s block would never hit
But my songs just never hit
However I kept on with my +%+#
Then one year later I bit, I went right up to the source
Rap Olympics was the course, yeah it opened up some doors
I hoped it was my torch
To carry me into stardom
Now how far from, sleeping cold on an old abandoned porch
Have I come, well I’d have to say pretty +%#@%+$ far
I remember riding in Jimmy’s car, and he told me to spit some bars
So I gave it all my heart, piece by piece my first symphony
Lyrically, it was ehhhh, spiritually that +%+# made history
Now I recall….
(Chorus)-Lyfe Jennings
I’ve been in this game more than long enough
To see enough champagne and girls for a lifetime
But someone gave me a chance, that fateful verse
When I’m knocking on them gates, I’ll still remember that rhyme
That was my destiny….
2nd Verse-Eminem
Like from the 1st verse to this one, I steadily improved
Studied melodies with Proof
I was ready to make moves
I was heavy in the groove, but like a levy I was do-
-ing everything I could to not erupt
“Marshall, c’mon dog just keep your cool
