The days are cold livin' without you
The nights are long, I'm growing older
I miss the days alone, thinkin' about you
You may be gone, but you're never over

If Proof could see me now, I know he'd be proud
Somewhere in me deep down, there's something in me he found
That made him believe in me, now no one can beat me now
You try, it'll be them doors, on Dre's Phantom believe me clowns
That means suicide homie, you'll never throw me
Off of this course, blow me
Bitch I do this all for the sport only
But I want it all, I'm not just talking awards homie
And the balls in my court and it's lonely
On top of the world when you're the only
One with the balls and your shorts
To leave them jaws on the floor with no re-
Morse, remember that when they get to doggin' you boy homie
So y'all can just get to bloggin' about bologna
I'm not gonna stop the saga
Continue, no stoppin' the force Obi, I'm moppin' the floors
With them, I keep tryna pass it, but they keep on droppin' the torch
And it won't be, long til this sport is O-V-
E-R, just blazin' and we knockin' them doors and no we
Ain't pumpkins on Halloween but we'll show up on your porch, so be
Careful what you say, there ain't no punks over here so follow me
Through the fog like I'm S-N-double-O-P
Let me guide you through the smoke G
If only I wasn't travellin' down this road by my lonely
No one who knew me like you will ever know me
I don't think you understand how much you meant to me

The days are cold livin' without you
The nights are long, I'm growing older
I miss the days alone, thinkin' about you
You may be gone, but you're never over
And it don't stop (oh)
And it don't quit (oh)
And it don't stop (oh)
And it don't quit (oh)
And I miss you (oh)
I just miss you (oh)
I just miss you (oh)
Homie I'll never forget you (no)

For you, I wanna write the sickest rhyme of my life
So sick it'll blow up the mic, it'll put the dyna in mite
Yeah it'll make the dopest MC wanna jump off a bridge and shit hisself
Tap dancin' all over the beat, it'll jump off the page and spit itself
Yeah it's the best thing I could do right now for you Doodi is to rap
So I'm a fuck til I die, yeah I'm a do it to death
And itstead of mourning your death, I'd rather celebrate your life
Elevate to new height, step on the gas and accelerate, I'm a need two mics
Cause the way that I'm feelin' tonight, everything I can just do right
There's nothing that I can do wrong, I'm too strong and I'm just too hyped
Just finished the rhyming and bust it and excuse the corny metaphor
They'll never catch up to all this energy that I've mustered
So God just help me out while I fight through this grievin' process
Tryna process this loss is makin' me nauseous
But this depression ain't takin' me hostage
I've been patiently watchin' this game, pacin' these hallways
You had faith in me always
Proof you knew I'd come out of this slump, rise from these ashes
Come right back on they asses, and go Mike Tyson on these bastards
And I'm a show 'em, blow 'em out the water slaughter 'em homes
I'm on so many bells the only place they can hit me is below
Homie I know I'm, never gonna be the same with you
I woulda never came in this game, I'm going insane without you
Matter of fact it was just the other night, had another dream about you
You told me to get up, I got up and spread my wings and I flew
You gave me a reason to fight, I was on my way to see you
You told me nah Doodi you're not layin' on that table I knew
I was gonna make it, soon as you said think of Hailie, I knew
There wasn't no way that I was gonna ever leave them babies, and Proof
Not many are lucky enough to have a guardian angel like you
Lord I'm so thankful, please don't think I don't feel grateful, I do
Just grant me the strength that I need, for one more day to get through
So homie this is your song, I dedicate this to you
I love you Doodi

The days are cold livin' without you
The nights are long, I'm growing older
I miss the days alone, thinkin' about you
You may be gone, but you're never over
And it don't stop (oh)
And it don't quit (oh)
And it don't stop (oh)
And it don't quit (oh)
And I miss you (oh)
I just miss you (oh)
I just miss you (oh)
Homie I'll never forget you (no)

    Song Meaning:he is talking about how his best friend proof (of d-12) got shot and killed and how much he misses him. Proof was one of his only true friends that he could trust no matter what happened or no matter what they went through

    General Comment:I think the line "you gave me a reason to fight, I was on my way to see you", is one of the most emotional lyrics ever written. When I first heard that line, I shed a tear. In fact, every time I hear this song, I try not to cry. In my opinion, the second verse of this song is one of the best verses written for an emotional song. The "dream" is a reference to Eminem's overdose. I had an overdose once when I was going through some serious depression, so the fact that Eminem has gotten out of his dark place, I admire him for that. The fact that he realised that he still has his daughters makes me think that he is a remarkable father.

    General Comment:This is a very deep part of the verse when hes talking about his over does in 2007 when he almost died. The "Dream" was the OD.

    Im going insane without you
    Matter of fact it was just the other night, had another dream about you
    You told me to get up, I got up and spread my wings and I flew
    You gave me a reason to fight, I was on my way to see you
    You told me nah Doodi youre not
    layin on that table I knew
    I was gonna make it, soon as you said think of Hailie, I knew
    There wasnt no way that I was gonna ever leave them babies, and Proof
    Not many are lucky enough to have a guardian angel like you

    My Opinion:This is a great song undoubtedly and a touching tribute to his best friend, but I'm bothered by one aspect. The line "excuse the corny metaphor, but they'll never 'ketchup' to all this energy that I've 'mustard.'"

    That's not a metaphor. It's a pun :-(

    General Comment:ok one last time to get the lyrics right

    "im'a own so many belts (as in trophies)
    the only place they can hit me is below 'em. (as in the only way other rappers can get a shot at eminem is a cheap low blow)...

    General Comment:Gee. this song is so sad yet so beautiful and full of power and hope. I couldn't help myself from tearing up while listening to it though i am a relatively new fan of Em so I wasn't familiar with his personal life and people around him. Losing a good friend(or in that case i think "brother" is what suits him most) must be too difficult to handle. I esp. loved the part when he came to Em's dream and told him not to let go... If he had that dream for real(which i guess he did considering he talks about real events of his life) then Proof must have been more than a friend. As he put it himself, he was his guardian angel :(

    My Opinion:I love eminem. Recovery is such a great album. And this song is amazing ! I love it. I'm actually getting a tattoo that says "I got up I spread my wings and I flew, just grant me the strength that I need for one more day to get through". I know they don't go together in the song but I love it and think it goes really nice together :)

    General Comment:Fucking amazing. One of the most emotional and heartfelt songs on the album. It's incredible how he can write some of these lyrics. I still am amazed, and I love the song clip from the Lost Boys. I love that movie and I heard this song and I was like man that's such a great add in.
