英文摇滚乐：Eminem - So Far

饶舌:Eminem - So Far

So Far... - Eminem
I own a mansion¹, but live in a house

A king-size bed, but I sleep on the couch

I'm Mr.Brightside, glass is half full

But my tank is half empty, gas kit³ just blew

This always happens, 30 minutes from home
Gotta lay a long cable and only option
I have is McDonald's bathroom

In a public stall dropping a football
So every time someone walks in the john like at Madden
''Shady, what up?''- What?
Come on, man, I'm crapping
And you're asking me for my
got damn autograph on a napkin?

Oh, that's odd, I just happened to run out of tissue
Yeah, hand me that, on second thought I'd be glad then
''Thanks, dawg, name's Todd, a big fan''
I wiped my ass² with it
Crumbled⁴ it up in a wad and threw it back and
Told him ''Todd, you're the shit''
when does all of this crap end?
Can't park my without causing an accident
Puff⁵ my gas, cut my grass, can't take out the fucking trash
Without someone passing through my sub harassing⁶
I'd count my blessings⁷, but I suck at math
I'd rather wallow then bass⁸ suffering from succotash
But the antacid is my stomach gas
I mix my corn with my fucking mash⁹
Potato, so what, ho, kiss my country bucking¹¹ ass
Missouri Southern roots, what the fuck is upperclass
Call lunch dinner, call dinner supper
Tupperware in a covered plastic wear up the ass
Stuck in the past, iPod, what the fuck is that?
B-boy to the core, mule¹², I'm a stubborn ass
Maybe that's why I feel so strange
Got it all, but I still won't change
Maybe that's why I can't leave Detroit
It's the motivation that keeps me going
This is the inspiration I need
I can never turn my back on a city that made me
(Life's been good to me so far)
They call me classless, I heard that,
I second and third that
Don't know what the fuck I would doing if it weren't rap
Probably be a giant turd-sack
But I blew, never turned back
Turned 40 and still sag¹³
Teenagers act more fucking mature, Jack¹⁴
Fuck you gonna say to me?
I leave on my own terms, asshole, I'm going berzerk
My nerves are bad, but I love the perks¹⁵ my work has
I get to meet famous people, look at her, dag
Her eyeliners ran, her skirt snag
And I heard she drag-races, *burp* swag
Fucking my Hanes shirt tag
You're Danica Patrick (yeah) work, skag
We'd be the perfect match
Cause you're a vacuum, I'm a dirtbag
My apologies, no disrespect to technology
But what the heck is all of these buttons?
You expect me to sit here and learn that?
Fuck I gotta do to hear this new song from Luda?
Be an expert at computers?
I'd rather be an encyclopedia¹⁷ Britannica, hell with a Playstation
I'm still on my first manual from Zelda
Nintendo, bitch, run, jump, punch, stab and I melt the
Mozzarella on my spaghetti, put in on bread
Make a sandwich with welch's and belch¹⁸
They say this spray butter is bad for my health, but
I think there's more white trash from the trailer

welfare mentality¹⁹ helps to
Keep me grounded
That's why I never take full advantage of wealth, I
Managed to dwell within these perimeters²⁰
Still cramming²¹ the shelves full of hamburger helper
I can't even help it, this is the hand I was dealt to
Creature of habit, feel like I'm trapped in an animal shelter
With all these pet peeves²²
God dammit to hell
I can't stand all these kids with their camera cellphones
I can't go anywhere, I get so mad I can yell the
Other day someone got little elaborate
And stuck a fucking dead cat in my mailbox

Went to Burger King, they spit on my onion rings
I think my karma is catching²³ up with me
Maybe that's why I feel so strange
Got it all, but I still won't change
Maybe that's why I can't leave Detroit
It's the motivation that keeps me going
This is the inspiration I need
I can never turn my back on a city that made me
(Life's been good to me so far)

Got friends on facebook, all over the world

Not sure what that means, they tell me it's good

So I'm artist of the decade, I even got a plaque²⁴

I'd hang it up, but the frame is all cracked

I'm trying to be lowkey, hopefully nobody notices me
In produce hunched²⁵ over, giant nosebleed
Over stop as I mosey over to the frozen aisle²⁶
By the frozen yogurt this guy approached me
Embarrassed, I just did Comerica with Hova
Show's over, I'm hiding in Kroeger buying groceries
He just had front row seats, told me to sign this poster
Then insults me ''wow, up close
didn't know you had crow's feet''
I'm at a crossroad lost till shopping at Costco
Sloppy²⁸ Joe's, buck¹⁰ waffles
Got caught picking my nose, ah
Look over see these two hot hoes
Finger still up in one of my nostrils²⁹
Right next to 'em stuck at the light
This fucking shit is taking forever to change
I'm stuck, these bitches are loving it rubbing it in
Chuckling³⁰, couldn't do nothing, play it off
''What you bumping? Trunk Muzik?
Yelawolf's better'', fucking bitch

They want me to flip³¹ at the label
But I won't succumb³² to it
The pressure
They want me to follow up with
another one after Recovery
Was so highly coveted³³
But what good is a fucking recovery if I fumble³⁴ it?
Cause I'mma drop the ball if I don't get to quit
Hopping²⁷ on... on you sons of bitches
Wrong subdivison to fuck with, bitch
Quit snapping fucking pictures of my kids
I love my... but you push me to my limit, what a pity
The shit I complain about
It's like there ain't a butt¹⁶ in the sky and it's raining out
Kool Aid stain on the couch, I'd never get it out
Bitch, I got an elevator in my house

.I'm living the dream
Maybe that's why I feel so strange
Got it all, but I still won't change
Maybe that's why I can't leave Detroit
It's the motivation that keeps me going
This is the inspiration I need
I can never turn my back on a city that made me
(Life's been good to me so far)
