Forever (Album Version ) Songtext
von Eminem

It may not mean nothin′ to y'all
But understand, nothin′ was done for me
So I don't plan on stoppin' at all
I want this sh- forever, mane, ever, mane, ever, mane
I′m shuttin′ sh- down in the mall
And tellin' every girl she the one for me
And I ain′t even plannin' to call
I want this sh- forever, mane, ever, mane, ever, mane

Last name Ever, first name Greatest
Like a sprained ankle, boy, I ain′t nothin' to play with
Started off local, but thanks to all the haters
I know G-IV pilots on a first name basis
In your city, faded off the brown, Nino
She insist she got more class, we know
Swimmin′ in the money, come and find me, Nemo
If I was at the club, you know I balled, chemo


Dropped the mixtape, that - sounded like an album
Who'd have thought a countrywide tour would be the outcome?
Labels want my name beside a X, like Malcolm
Everybody got a deal, I did it without one
Yeah, -, I'm about my business
Killin′ all these rappers, you would swear I had a hit list
Everyone who doubted me is askin′ for forgiveness
If you ain't been a part of it, at least you got to witness, -es

It may not mean nothin′ to y'all
But understand, nothin′ was done for me
So I don't plan on stoppin′ at all
I want this sh- forever, mane, ever, mane, ever, mane
I'm shuttin' sh- down in the mall
And tellin′ every girl she the one for me
And I ain′t even plannin' to call
I want this sh- forever, mane, ever, mane, ever, mane

Ever-ever, Mr. West is in the buildin′
Ain't no question who about to kill ′em
I used to have hood dreams, big fame, big chains
I stuck my dick inside this life until that - came
And went hard, all fall like the ball teams
Just so I can make it rain all spring
Y'all seen my story, my glory
I had raped the game young, you can call it statutory
When a - blow up they gonna build statues for me
Old money, Benjamin Button, "What?" nothin′


Now it's super bad chicks givin' me McLovin
You would think I ran the world like Michelle′s husband
You would think these - know me when they really doesn′t
Like they was down with the old me, no you -in' wasn′t
Um, you're such a -in′ loser
He ain't even go to class, Bueller
Trade the Grammy plaques just to have my granny back
Remember she had that bad hip like a fanny pack?

Chasin′ the stardom will turn you to a maniac
All the way in Hollywood and I can't even act
They pull the cameras out and goddamn, he snap
I used to want this thing forever, y'all can have it back

It may not mean nothin′ to y′all
But understand, nothin' was done for me
So I don′t plan on stoppin' at all
I want this sh- forever, mane, ever, mane, ever, mane
I′m shuttin' sh- down in the mall
And tellin′ every girl she the one for me
And I ain't even plannin' to call
I want this sh- forever, mane, ever, mane, ever, mane
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Okay, hello, it′s the Martian, Space Jam Jordans
I want this sh- forever, wake up and smell the garden
Fresher than the harvest, step up to the target
If I had one guess, then I guess I′m just New Orleans
And I will never stop like I'm runnin′ from the cops
Hop up in my car and told my chauffeur, "To the top"
Life is such a -in' roller coaster, then it drops
But what should I scream for? This is my theme park

My mind shine even when my thoughts seem dark
- on my side, you don′t wanna hear that thing talk
Let the king talk, check the price and pay attention
"Little Wayne," that's what they gotta say or mention
I′m like Nevada in the middle of the summer
I'm restin' in the lead, I need a pillow and a cover
Shh, my foot′s sleepin′ on the gas
No brake pads, no such thing as last, uh

It may not mean nothin' to y′all
But understand, nothin' was done for me
So I don′t plan on stoppin' at all
I want this sh- forever, mane, ever, mane, ever, mane
I′m shuttin' sh- down in the mall
And tellin' every girl she the one for me
And I ain′t even plannin′ to call
I want this sh- forever, mane, ever, mane, ever, mane

There they go, packin' stadiums as Shady spits his flow
Nuts they go, Macadamian, they go so ballistic, whoa
He can make them look like bozos
He′s wonderin' if he should spit this slow, - no
Go for broke, his cup just runneth over, oh no
He ain′t had him a buzz like this since the last time that he overdosed
They been waitin' patiently for Pinocchio to poke his nose

Back into the game and they know rap will never be the same as befo′
Bashin' in the brains of these - and establishin' a name as he goes
The passion in the flame is ignited
You can′t put it out once we light it
This - is exactly what the -
That I′m talkin' about when we riot
You dealin′ with a few true villains
Who stand inside of a booth, truth-spillin'
And spit true feelings until our tooth fillings
Come flyin′ up out of our mouths, now, rewind it

Payback, mother-er
For the way that you doubted me, how's it taste?
When I slap the taste outta your mouth
With the bass so loud that it shakes the place
I′m Hannibal Lecter, so just in case you're thinkin' of savin′ face
You ain′t gonna have no face to save
By the time I'm through with this place, so Drake

It may not mean nothin′ to y'all
But understand, nothin′ was done for me
So I don't plan on stoppin′ at all
I want this sh- forever, mane, ever, mane, ever, mane
I'm shuttin' sh- down in the mall
And tellin′ every girl she the one for me
And I ain′t even plannin' to call
I want this sh- forever, mane, ever, mane, ever, mane
