Yellow Brick Road Lyrics - Encore - Eminem

What we have to do is deal with it when these individuals are young enough 

If you want to be saved not in a religious sense 

But we have to constitute what this country? for if only children 

We seem to be approachin an age of the gross (burp) 

We all have this idea that we should move up a little bit from our parents station 

And each generation should a little better 

Alright come on let's cut this bullshittin' and dub 

Let's get it started let's start addressin' this issue 

And open it up 

Let's take this shit back to the basement 

And we can discuss statements that's made on this tape 

And this whole origina 

The music that we all know and love the music we all enjoy 

The music that you accuse me of tryin' to destroy 

Let's rewind it to '89 when I was boy on the East side of Detroit 

Crossin' 8 Mile and a war and they hit territory 

I'd like to share a story this is my story 

And can't nobody tell it for me 

I am well aware that I don't belong here 

You made that perfectly clear 

I get my ass kicked damn they're everywhere 

From bel air shoppin' centre just for stoppin' in there 

From the black side all the way to the white side 

Okay there's a bright side 

A day that I might slide 

You may call it a pass I call it haulin' my ass 

Through that patch of grass over them railroad tracks 

Oh them railroad tracks them old railroad tracks 

Them good old notorious so well known tracks

I roam the streets so much they call me a drifter 

Sometimes I stick up a thumb just to hitchhike 

Just to get picked up theyd' give me a lift up 

8 Mile and van dyke I'd steal a goddamn bike 

From somebody's backyard 

And drop it off at the park 

That was the halfway mark 

To meet Kim had to walk back to her momma's and charmer's 

After dark to sneak me in the house 

When I'm kicked out my mum's 

That's about the time I first met Proof 

Wed goof hed carry on the steps said I was bored handin' out some flyers 

He was doin' some talent shows at Center Line High 

I told him to stop by and check this out some time 

He looked at me like I'm out my mind 

Shook his head like white boys don't know how to rhyme 

I spit out a line and rhymed birthday with first place 

And they both had the same rhymes that soundalike 

We was on that same shit 

That big daddy kane shit 

Where compound syllables sound combined 

From that day we was down to ride 

Somehow we knew we'd meet again somewhere down the line 

So let's go back

Journey with me as I take you through this nifty little place 

That I once used to call home sweet home 

My first year in 9th grade 

Can't forget that day in school 

It was cool til' your man 

MC Sham came through 

And said that Puma's the brand 

cause the Klan makes Troops. 

It was rumors but man, goddamn they flew 

Must'a been true because man we done banned they shoes, 

I had the new ones, the cool J, Ice-lambs, suede too. 

But we just threw 'em in the trash like they was yesterday's news 

Guess who came through next? X-clan debuted. 

With a key sissies now with this being a new trend 

We don't fit in crackers is out with Cactus albums 

Blackness is in, African symbols and medallions 

Represents black power and we ain't know what it meant 

Me and my man Howard and Butter, we would go to the mall with 'em 

All over our necks like we're showing 'em off not knowing at all 

We was being laughed at you ain't even half black 

You ain't supposed to have that homie let me grab that 

And that Flavor Flave clock we gonna have to snatch that 

All I remember is meeting back at Manix's basement 

saying how we hate this, how racist but dope the X clan's tape is... 

Which reminds me back in 89 me and Kim broke up for the first time 

She was tryna two time me and there was this black girl 

At our school who thought I was cool cause I rapped so she was kinda eyeing me 

And oh the irony guess what her name was ain't even gonna say it plus 

The same color hair as hers was and blue contacts and a pair of jugs 

The bombest god damn girl in our whole school if I could pull it 

Not only would I become more popular but I would be able to piss Kim off at the same time 

But it backfired I was supposed to dump her but she dumped me for this black guy 

And thats the last I ever seen or heard or spoke to the oh foolish pride girl 

But I've heard people say they heard the tape and it ain't that bad 

But it was I singled out a whole race and for that apologize 

I was wrong cause no matter what color a girl is she's still a hoe 

So let's go back 

Follow the Yellow Brick Road 

As we go on another episode 

Journey with me as I take you through this nifty little place 

That I once used to call home sweet home
