Eminem - How Come (Original Cut) lyrics

[Eminem - Talking] So I changed huh, you got a phone Pick up and call me [Hook - Eminem] How Come.. we don't even talk no more and you don't even call no more We don't barely keep in touch at all and I don't even feel the same love when we hug no more And I heard it through the grapevine we even beefing now After all the years we've been down Ain't no way no how. This bullsh** can't be true We family.. ain't a damn thing changed.. unless its you! [Verse 1 - Eminem] We were so young so full of life and vibrance Side by side, wherever you was riding, I went So close, almost on some Bonnie and Clyde sh** When Ronnie died you was right by my side With a shoulder to cry on and tissue to wipe my eyes And a bucket to catch ever tear I cried inside it You even had the same type of childhood I did Sometimes I just wanna know why is it that you succame to yours And mine I survived it. You ran the streets, I 9 to 5ed it We grew up, grew apart as time went by us And I blew up to both yours and mines surprises Now I feel a vibe I just can't describe it Much as your pride tries to hide it your cold your touch is just like ice And your eyes is a look of resentment I can sense it and I don't like it [Hook - Eminem] [Verse 2 - Kon Artis] It was my dream at first to be off spitting a verse On my own album with a deal but sh** got worse 'Fore I came out I woulda k**ed a n***a first For I let him disrespect me, or check me over some worrisome b**h that I wasn't with I woulda hit it and quit But you were playing to talk with her and tell her she was the sh** I told you don't get involved with her you would smoke in the car with her Coming outta the bar with her stumbling half drunk Like y'all was husband and wife or something But me catching her f**ing other n***as musta hurt your pride or something Cause you woof off at the mouth to people like you want it with me When all I tried to do was show that your b**h was shifty And ever since the fans and all the sh** that I produced You acting like I ain't your man and lying like she can't be loose But I am really your friend, I'm just trying to tell ya the truth Don't hate the game or the player the one that's changing is you [Hook - Eminem] [Verse 3 - Proof] Its gets lonely at the top cause my homie had to stop Now we acting like I gotta live only for the block And homies in the hood only see me on the tube So they gossip on the porch get to speaking all rude Fools I used to rap wit all expect magic Like my finger get to snapping and poof it just happen But proof is just acting out the part he was thrown Shady made it so my babies ain't starving at home See the devil in your glance since the ghetto we been friends Forever real intelligence that's forever till the end I peep the hatred in your eyes, and the Satan in your lies Ain't wasting my time with these snakes in disguise (HOW COME) When you talk it's with bitter and spite? (AND HOW COME) It's my fault for what you did with your life? And every time I go to hear you play, you look away We barely embrace, you can't even look me in my face [Eminem] How come? [Verse 4 - Bizarre] When we started dating I was almost 9 Now I'm 35 missing that big behind And all I do is drive think about our lives Come home every night dodging butcher knives And I ain't gon' lie I like the attention Sleeping with other wives saying I'm out fishing Let's put it all behind let's settle our difference You ready to talk I'm ready to listen [Verse 5 - Swifty McVay] Back in the days I was feening for fame It's a shame rappers just like coochie you kick game until you bang And every waking morning I'm doing the same thing Just hanging and brainstorming just trying to make a name When you blessing the game That's when everyone around you whole persception will change And you accept it cuz you made it But when your funds faded your treated like a scoundrel Obviously your homies never gave a sh** about you I pain my dues twice and I ain't lying See that's first in the hood and the other after I signed No time for being kind when your enemies shown I walk alone while y'all trying anything to get on [Hook - Eminem]
