Careful What You Wish For Lyrics
*Radio/TV Sounds Begin*
*Breaking news, Detroit rapper Eminem cancels his sold out European tour to check himself into Rehab after admitting an addiction to sleep medication, we'll have more on this story as it develops* *Shady Records recording artist Obie Trice has apparently survived a gunshot to the head in what appears to be a random drive-by shooting, meanwhile Eminem is rumored to be...* *...on and off again relationship...* *This just in, a tour bus involving Eminems...* *Updating a story we brought to you earlier about gunfire at an after hours club, we've learned that the rapper Proof has been fatally shot* *The Shady/Aftermath recording artist...* *...long time best friend of Eminem and a member of the rap group D12* *Back in the news today* *Is it a sabbatical or the end? The rumors and speculation continue to swirl around Eminem, he insists he's just taking a break but doubters believe he's retiring, leaving us all to ask, will the real Slim Shady please stand up?* *Radio/TV Sounds End* Verse 1 So this is it this is what I wished for it just isn't how I envisioned it fame to the point of imprisonment I just thought the shit would be different but something changed the minute that I got a wiff of it I started to inhale it, smell it, started sniffing it and it became my cocaine I just couldn't quit I just wanted a little bit then it turned me into a monster I became a hypocrite Concert after concert I was raking in the dough Rollin' in green Had the game hemmed up like a sewing machine But I was loosing my freedom There was no way for me to not go and be seen Just go and be me There was no in-between You either loved it or hate it Every CD critics gave it a 3 Then 3 years later they go back and re-rate it And call the Slim Shady LP the greatest 'The Marshall Mathers' was a classic 'The Eminem Show' was fantastic But 'Encore' just didn't have the caliber to match it I guess enough time just ain't passed yet A couple more years that shit'll be ill-matic And 8 years later I'm still at it Devorced Remarried A Felon A Father Sleeping pill addict And this is real talk I feel like the incredible hulk My back has been broke and I can still walk Chorus x2 So be careful what you wish for you, cause you just might get it And if you get it, then you just might not know what to do with it Cause it might just come back on you ten-fold Verse 2: I got a letter from a fan that said he's been praying for me every day And for some reason its been weighing on my mind heavy Cause I don't read every letter I get But something told me to go ahead and open it But, why would someone pray for you when they don't know you? You didn't pray for me when I was local And I lay these vocals I think of all shit I had to go through Just to get to where I'm at I've already told you at least a thousand times in these rhymes I appreciate the prayer but I've already got god on my side And its been one hell of a ride hasn't it? Just watching it from the opposite standpoint Man, boys got to look, nuts And thats the only word I can think of right now on how to describe this shit Its like a vibe you get Go ahead and bop to it Just watch what you wish for cause I got this shit Chorus x2 So be careful what you wish for you, cause you just might get it And if you get it, then you just might not know what to do with it Cause it might just come back on you ten-fold |

I think they're spot on, but obviously they're not the official lyrics, and as far as I'm aware no-one else has posted the lyrics to this song.
This is the lyrics as I hear them, if you have any corrections, feel free to post.

and tells ya that shit happens and
if you want it and work you
as off for your dreams and wish
sometimes they just don't go the
way you wanted, So be careful what you wish for you, cause you just might get it
And if you get it, then you just might not know what to do with it
Cause it might just come back on you ten-fold.
truer words were never spoken, love ya Eminem.

And for some reason its been weighing on my mind heavy
Cause I don't read every letter I get
But something told me to go ahead and open it
But, why would someone pray for you when they don't know you?
You didn't pray for me when I was local
And I lay these vocals
I think of all shit I had to go through
Just to get to where I'm at
I've already told you at least a thousand times in these rhymes
I appreciate the prayer but I've already got god on my side"
Is a response to KJ-52's "Dear Slim" in which a Christian rapper addressed Eminem in a "Stan" format. Not a diss but simply letting him now he's praying for him.
