Ayo, before I start this song, manI just wanna thank everybody for being so patientAnd bearing with me over these last couple of yearsWhile I figure this shit out
Is anybody out there?It feels like I’m talkin’ to myselfNo one seems to know my struggleAnd everything I’ve come from (whoa-whoa)Can anybody hear me?Yeah, I guess I keep talkin’ to myselfIt feels like I’m goin’ insaneAm I the one who’s crazy?Yeah, whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)Whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
So why in the world do I feel so alone?Nobody but me, I’m on my ownIs there anyone out there who feels the way I feel?If there is, then lend me an earSo I know that I’m not the only one
I went away, I guess, and opened up some lanesBut there was no one who even knewI was goin’ through growin’ painsHatred was flowin’ through my veinsOn the verge of goin’ insaneI almost made a song dissin’ Lil WayneIt’s like I was jealous of him ’cause of the attention he was gettin’I felt horrible about myself, he was spittin’ and I wasn’tAnyone who was buzzin’ back then coulda got itAlmost went at Kanye tooGod, it feels like I’m goin’ psychotic, thank God that I didn’t do itI’da had my ass handed to me, and I knew itBut Proof isn’t here to see me through itI’m in the booth, poppin’ another pill (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)Tryna talk myself into it, “are you stupid?You gon’ start dissin’ people for no reason?‘Specially when you can’t even write a decent punchline even?You’re lyin’ to yourself, you’re slowly dyin’You’re denyin’ your health is declinin’ with your self-esteemYou’re cryin’ out for help”
Is anybody out there?It feels like I’m talkin’ to myselfNo one seems to know my struggleAnd everything I’ve come from (whoa-whoa)Can anybody hear me?Yeah, I guess I keep talkin’ to myselfIt feels like I’m goin’ insaneAm I the one who’s crazy? Yeah
So why in the world do I feel so alone?Nobody but me, I’m on my ownIs there anyone out there who feels the way I feel?If there is, then lend me an earSo I know that I’m not the only one
Marshall, you’re no longer the man, that’s a bitter pill to swallowAll I know is I’m wallowing, self-loathing and hollowBottoms up on the pill bottle, maybe I’ll hit my bottom tomorrowMy sorrow echoes in this hall though (oh-oh, oh)But I must be talkin’ to the wall thoughI don’t see nobody else (I guess I keep talkin’ to myself)But all these other rappers suck is all that I knowI’ve turned into a hater, I put up a false bravadoBut Marshall is not an egomaniac, that’s not his mottoHe’s not a desperado, he’s desperateHis thoughts are bottled inside himOne foot on the brake, one on the throttleFallin’ asleep with writer’s block (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)In the parkin’ lot of McDonald’sBut instead of feeling sorry for yourselfDo something ’bout it, admit you got a problemYour brain is clouded, you pouted long enoughIt isn’t them, it’s you, you fuckin’ babyQuit worryin’ ’bout what they do, and do ShadyI’m fuckin’ goin’ crazy
Is anybody out there?It feels like I’m talkin’ to myselfNo one seems to know my struggleAnd everything I’ve come from (whoa-whoa)Can anybody hear me?Yeah, I guess I keep talkin’ to myselfIt feels like I’m goin’ insaneAm I the one who’s crazy? Yeah
So why in the world do I feel so alone?Nobody but me, I’m on my ownIs there anyone out there who feels the way I feel?If there is, then lend me an earSo I know that I’m not the only one
So I picked myself up off the groundAnd fuckin’ swam ‘fore I drownedHit my bottom so hard I bounced twice, suffice, this time aroundIt’s different, them last two albums didn’t countEncore, I was on drugs, Relapse, I was flushin’ ’em outI’ve come to make it up to you now, no more fuckin’ aroundI got somethin’ to prove to fans, ’cause I feel like I let ’em downSo please accept my apology, I finally feel like I’m back to normalI feel like me again, let me formallyReintroduce myself to you for those of you who don’t knowThe new me’s back to the old meAnd homie, I don’t show no signs of slowin’ upOh, and I’m blowin’ up all overMy life is no longer a movie (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)But the show ain’t over, homosI’m back with a vengeance, homieWeezy, keep ya head up, T.I., keep ya head upKanye, keep ya head up, don’t let upJust keep slayin’ them, rest in peace to DJ AM‘Cause I know what it’s likeI struggle with this shit every single day, and um
Is anybody out there?It feels like I’m talkin’ to myselfNo one seems to know my struggleAnd everything I’ve come fromCan anybody hear me?Yeah, I guess I keep talkin’ to myselfIt feels like I’m goin’ insaneAm I the one who’s crazy? Yeah
So why in the world do I feel so alone?Nobody but me, I’m on my ownIs there anyone out there who feels the way I feel?If there is, then lend me an earSo I know that I’m not the only one
