Artist: Eminem Album: Shady XV Song: Fine Line Typed by: Nickolye16@aol.com [Eminem] Another day, another hotel, the inside of it's nice though Oh well, this is my life so, as I go try and close for the night's show to, see how far that line goes, still blows my mind, show business guess I'll just never get - so this shit just always feels so weird To this day because alls I ever did was just say the shit I would've wanted to hear other people say to me when I was a kid, so please don't make me some type of hero Cause I will say some inspirational shit in a real way but still will have a field day with some of the fucked up shit in the world and tell it to suck on a dick Cause I still make fun of a sitch' someone's in like a son of a bitch at another's expense I'm fuckin relentless as fuck when it comes to this pen, I struggle with comin to senses Stuck on the fence or the balance beam, if I seem unbalanced, it's challenging But my conscience allows me to think the most foulish childish things without even blinkin Without even thinkin about, all the stinkin amounts of, people that seems to be reachin While the crowds are screamin in The Palace sold out this evening, but now it's, lay me down to sleepin Is it really my soul to keep or, have I sold it cheap? Is it greed and do I take more than I need when, when I joke of leavin? But keep overachievin cause what it stole from me I've barely broken even and [Chorus] I know, it's a fine fine line Live in a hole dying I know, it's a fine fine line Live in a hole dying... [Eminem] So an artist how I paint myself and through my heroin ordeals I'm so +vein+, I want my respect But ignore the, butterfly effect that comes from my dialect 'Til I, sit in the dark and I reflect and my reflection shows what it's like here Cause this vanity, surrounded by all these lights, yeah, it's like a nightmare! I said this vanity surrounded by these lights is a nightmare And, I don't like how I see myself so I, open the Bible to Isaiah Cause, I swear to Christ there are nights where I stay up at night say a prayer twice just to make sure God hears, cause this ice layer I skate on's a nice way of puttin it but I like stayin feistier, than a triceratops and like a dice player I got a nice pair-of-dice/paradise here, sealed off in my lair Away from the bullshit, good safe place to sit and talk shit from, this house it's quite big But it ain't when you can't leave it and I feel so isolated, nice I made it but it's like I paid the price of fame twice, I hate it! So I bitch about my life and make another song, it's a cycle, ain't it? Then I wonder why I stay famous, I keep walkin the line, this goldfish bowl gets old But especially when you don't know if your conscience is sayin "I told you so" Cause you don't even know anymore if you got the soul of a soldier, or you sold your soul cause [Chorus] [Interlude: Eminem singing] From here you look so small Hovering high above us all Please come back... to me Yeahhhhh [Eminem] I still remember the times when, they were simpler than the rhymes of, Vanilla Ice were When I was just killin the mics, I'll never forget what that feelin was like, I miss those times now when I was just startin out with-out a dime and now I'm diamond, I can't even stage dive in the crowd anymore now when I've been stuck in this house hibernatin, hate even goin outside, it sucks; sometimes I just wanna walk into Target and look at shit, browse, I don't even wanna buy nothin, I just wanna fuckin walk around inside it, look how excited I sound when I get, to talkin 'bout life and, everything about it I miss Which now reminds me, put a thousand lighters, in the sky for the Outsidaz Wow, I must've had Alzheimers, long time since I shouted them out, 'bout time cause It's been on my mind lately how, Zee, you always supported, me, you vouched, I will never forget that and, how you guys ac- -cepted me for me and Pace, I love you too, you slept on my couch and I've been thinkin 'bout the time when I slept on the floor of the outhouse, rhyming's all we ever wanted to do, and regardless how life has turned out inside, I'll I'll always be an outsider, my life has been turned inside out but I [Chorus] [Outro: scratched] I keep walkin the line... I keep walkin the line... I keep, I keep walkin the line I keep walkin the line... I keep, I keep walkin the line
