Ayo, before I start this song man I just wanna, thank everybody for being so patient And bearing with me over these last couple of years While I figure this shit out Is anybody out there? It feels like I'm talking to myself No one seems to know my struggle, and everything I've come from Can anybody hear me? Yeah, I guess I keep talking to myself It feels like I'm going insane, am I the one whose crazy? (So why in the world, do I feel so alone? Nobody but me, I'm on my own Is there anyone out there, who feels the way I feel? If there is, let me hear just so I know that I'm not the only one) I went away I guess and opened up some lanes But there was no one who even knew I was going through, growing pains Hatred was flowing through my veins, on the verge of going insane I almost made a song dissing Lil Wayne It'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't, anyone who was buzzin' back then coulda got it Almost went at Kanye too, God it feels like I'm going psychotic, thank God that I didn't do it I'da had my ass handed to me, and I knew it But Proof isn't here to see me through it I'm in the booth, popping another pill, tryna talk myself into it Are you stupid? You're gon' start dissing people for no reason? 'Specially when you can't even write a decent punchline even? You're lying to yourself, you're slowly dying You're denying your health is declining with your self-esteem You're crying out for help Is anybody out there? It feels like I'm talking to myself No one seems to know my struggle, and everything I've come from Can anybody hear me? Yeah, I guess I keep talking to myself It feels like I'm going insane, am I the one whose crazy? (So why in the world, do I feel so alone? Nobody but me, I'm on my own Is there anyone out there, who feels the way I feel? If there is, let me hear just so I know that I'm not the only one) Marshall you're no longer the man, that's a bitter pill to swallow All I know is I'm wallowing, self-loathing and hollow Bottoms up on the pill bottle, maybe I'll hit my bottom tomorrow My sorrow echoes in this hall though But I must be talking to the wall though I don't see nobody else (I guess I keep talking to myself) But all these other rappers suck is all that I know I've turned into a hater, I put up a false bravado But Marshall is not an egomaniac, that's not his motto He's not a desperado, he's desperate, his thoughts are bottled Inside him, one foot on the brake, one on the throttle Falling asleep with writer's block in the parking lot of McDonald's But instead of feeling sorry for yourself do something 'bout it Admit you got a problem, your brain is clouded, you pouted Long enough, it isn't them it's you you fucking baby Quit worrying 'bout what they do and do Shady, I'm fucking going crazy Is anybody out there? It feels like I'm talking to myself No one seems to know my struggle, and everything I've come from Can anybody hear me? Yeah, I guess I keep talking to myself It feels like I'm going insane, am I the one whose crazy? (So why in the world, do I feel so alone? Nobody but me, I'm on my own Is there anyone out there, who feels the way I feel? If there is, let me hear just so I know that I'm not the only one) So I picked myself off the ground and fucking swam 'fore I drowned Hit my bottom so hard I bounced twice, suffice, this time around It's different, them last two albums didn't count Encore I was on drugs, Relapse I was flushing 'em out I've come to make it up to ya now, no more fucking around I got something to prove to fans 'cause I feel like I let 'em down So please accept my apology, I finally feel like I'm back to normal I feel like me again, let me formally Reintroduce myself to you for those of you who don't know The new me's back to the old me and homie I don't show no Signs of slowing up, oh and I'm blowing up All over my life is no longer a movie but the show ain't over homos I'm back with a vengeance homie, Weezy keep ya head up T.i. Keep ya head up, Kanye keep ya head up, don't let up Just keep slaying 'em, rest in peace to DJ AM 'Cause I know what it's like I struggle with this shit every single day and um Is anybody out there? It feels like I'm talking to myself No one seems to know my struggle, and everything I've come from Can anybody hear me? Yeah, I guess I keep talking to myself It feels like I'm going insane, am I the one whose crazy? (So why in the world, do I feel so alone? Nobody but me, I'm on my own Is there anyone out there, who feels the way I feel? If there is, let me hear just so I know that I'm not the only one) So there it is, damn Feels like I just woke up or something I guess I just, forgot who the fuck I was man Ayo, and to anybody I thought about going at It was never nothing personal It was just some shit I was going through And to everybody else. I'm back! Ha ha
