  • My life, my life
    Makes me wanna run away
    There's no place to go
    No place to go
    All the confusion
    It's an illusion like a movie
    Got nowhere to go
    Nowhere to run and hide
    No matter how hard I try

    Yeah, 03, I went from plain filthy to filthy rich
    Man, the emotions change so I can never trust a bitch
    I tried to help niggas get on, they turned around and spit
    Right in my face, so Game and Buck, both can suck a dick
    Now when you hear 'em it may sound like it's some other shit
    'Cause I'm not writing anymore, they not making hits
    I'm far from perfect, there's so many lessons I done learned
    If money is evil look at all the evil I done earned
    I'm doing what I'm supposed to, I'm a writer, I'm a fighter
    Entrepreneur, fresh out the sewer, watch me maneuver
    What's it to ya? The track I lace it, it's better than basic
    This is my recovery, my comeback, kid

    My life, my life
    Makes me wanna run away
    There's no place to go
    No place to go
    All the confusion
    It's an illusion like a movie
    Got nowhere to go
    Nowhere to run and hide
    No matter how hard I try

    While you were sipping your own Kool-Aid getting your buzz heavy
    I was in the fucking sheds sharpening my machete
    Sipping on some of that revenge juice, getting my taste buds ready
    To wolf down this spaghetti, or should I say this spaghett-even?
    I think you fucking meatballs keep on just forgetting
    Thought he was finished, motherfucker, it's only the buginning
    He's buggin' again, he's straight thuggin', fuck who he's offending
    He'll rip your vocal chords out and have them bitches plu~gged in the
    Motherfucking wall with three thousand volts of electrucity
    Now take the other end of 'em, then plug them motherfuckers in each
    One of your eye sockets cause I thought you might finally fucking see
    That'll teach you to go voicing your cocksuckin' opinion to me
    I done put my blood, my sweat and my tears in this shit
    Fuck letting up, you're gonna end up rugretting you ever betted against me
    Feels like I'mma snap any minute, yeah, it's happening again
    I'm thinking about just saying
    "Mother fuck everybody that's up in this bitch, but 50!"
    'Cause this is all I know, this is why so hard I go
    I swear to God I put my heart and soul into this more than anybody knows
    I'm trapped, so all I do is rap, but every time I rap I'm more trapped
    And I rap myself right into this bubble, oh I guess it's bubble wrap
    This is like a vicious cycle, my life's in a crisis
    Christ, how was I supposed to know shit would turn up like it did?
    Feels like I'm going psycho again
    And I might just blow my lid
    Shit, I almost wish that I would have never made Recovery, kid
    'Cause I'm running in circles with

    My life, my life
    Makes me wanna run away
    There's no place to go
    No place to go
    All the confusion
    It's an illusion like a movie
    Got nowhere to go
    Nowhere to run and hide
    No matter how hard I try

    I haven't been this fucking confused since I was a kid
    Sold like forty million records, people forgot what I did
    Maybe this is for me, maybe
    Maybe I'm supposed to go crazy
    Maybe I'll do it three A.M. in the morning like Shady
    Psycho killer, Michael Myers, I'm on fire like a lighter
    Try to say this ain't classic, get your ass kicked mad quick
    Wrap your head up in plastic, pussy
    Now pick the casket, dirt nap with the maggots
    It's tragic, it's sad it's
    Never gonna end, now we number one again
    With that frown on your face, and your heart full of hate
    Accept it, respect it
    This a gift, God-given, like the air in the lungs
    Of every fucking thing livin'

    My life, my life
    Makes me wanna run away
    There's no place to go
    No place to go
    All the confusion
    It's an illusion like a movie
    Got nowhere to go
    Nowhere to run and hide
    No matter how hard I try Writer/s: Adam Noah Levine, Curtis Jackson, Herbert Louis Rooney, Larry Darnell Griffin, Marshall Mathers
