So Far... Lyrics

[00:02.95] I own a mansion
[00:04.95] But live in a house
[00:07.88] A king-size bed, but
[00:09.88] I sleep on the couch
[00:12.76] I'm Mr. Brightside
[00:14.87] Glass is half full
[00:17.47] But my tank's half empty
[00:19.82] Gasket just blew
[00:22.11] This always happens
[00:23.15] Thirty minutes from home
[00:24.14] Gotta lay a log cabin
[00:25.38] Only option I have is McDonald's bathroom
[00:27.75] In a public stall dropping a football
[00:29.59] So every time someone walks in the john, I get Madden
[00:32.52] "Shady, what up?"
[00:33.38] What? Come on, man, I'm crapping
[00:34.43] And you're asking for my goddamn autograph on a napkin?
[00:37.78] Oh, that's odd, I just happened to run out of tissue
[00:39.95] Yeah, hand me that, on second thought, I'd be glad then
[00:42.63] "Thanks, dawg! Name's Todd, a big fan"
[00:44.27] I wiped my ass with it, crumbled it up in a wad, threw it back and
[00:47.67] Told him, "Todd, you're the shit"
[00:48.85] When's all of this crap end?
[00:49.96] Can't pump my gas without causing an accident
[00:52.26] Pump my gas, cut my grass
[00:53.45] I can't take out the fucking trash without
[00:54.96] Someone passing through my sub, harassing
[00:56.72] I'd count my blessings, but I suck at math
[00:58.59] I'd rather wallow then bask, suffering from succotash
[01:00.83] But the antacid
[01:02.05] Gives my stomach gas
[01:03.24] When I mix my corn with my fucking mash
[01:05.89] Potato, so what, ho, kiss my country bumpkin ass
[01:08.93] Missouri southern roots
[01:09.93] What the fuck is upper-class?
[01:11.54] Call lunch dinner, call dinner supper
[01:13.31] Tupperware in a covered plastic wear up the ass
[01:16.28] Stuck in the past, iPod, what the fuck is that?
[01:18.77] B-Boy to the core, mule, I'm a stubborn ass
[01:21.32] Maybe that's why I feel so strange
[01:23.73] Got it all, but I still won't change
[01:25.82] Maybe that's why I can't leave Detroit
[01:28.51] It's the motivation that keeps me going
[01:30.89] This is the inspiration I need
[01:32.31] I can never turn my back on a city that made me
[01:34.73] And (life's been good to me so far)
[01:38.37] They call me classless, I heard that
[01:40.05] I second and third that
[01:41.52] Don't know what the fuck I'd be doing if it weren't rap
[01:43.62] Probably be a giant turd-sack
[01:45.48] But I blew, never turned back
[01:46.89] Turned forty and still sag
[01:48.20] Teenagers act more fucking mature, Jack
[01:50.83] Fuck you gonna say to me?
[01:51.96] I leave on my own terms, asshole, I'm going berserk
[01:54.56] My nerves are bad, but I love the perks my work has
[01:57.09] I get to meet famous people
[01:58.52] Look at her, dag
[01:59.48] Her nylons are ran, her skirt's snagged
[02:01.18] And I heard she drag-races (burps swag)
[02:03.26] Tuck in my Hanes shirt tag
[02:04.63] You're Danica Patrick
[02:06.33] (Yeah?) word, skag
[02:07.14] We'd be the perfect match
[02:08.17] 'Cause you're a vacuum
[02:09.15] I'm a dirtbag
[02:10.39] My apologies
[02:11.28] No disrespect to technology
[02:12.93] But what the heck is all of these buttons?
[02:14.46] You expect me to sit here and learn that?
[02:16.40] Fuck I gotta do to hear this new song from Luda?
[02:18.77] Be an expert at computers?
[02:20.68] I'd rather be an Encyclopedia Britannica
[02:23.01] Hell with PlayStation
[02:24.17] I'm still on my first man on some Zelda
[02:26.00] Nintendo, bitch!
[02:26.85] Run, jump, punch, stab and I melt the
[02:28.84] Mozzarella on my spaghetti, put in on bread
[02:30.95] Make a sandwich with Welch's and belch
[02:32.77] They say this spray butter's bad for my health, but
[02:34.77] I think there's more white trash from the trailer
[02:36.45] Jed Clampett, Redd Sanford, and welfare
[02:38.37] Mentality helps to
[02:39.67] Keep me grounded
[02:40.58] That's why I never take full advantage of wealth, I
[02:42.73] Managed to dwell within these parameters
[02:44.43] Still cramming the shelves full of Hamburger Helper
[02:46.98] I can't even help it
[02:48.06] This is the hand I was dealt, a
[02:49.82] Creature of habit
[02:50.67] Feel like I'm trapped in an animal shelter
[02:52.42] With all these pet peeves
[02:53.46] Goddammit to hell
[02:54.70] I can't stand
[02:55.57] All these kids
[02:56.13] With their camera cellphones
[02:57.36] I can't go anywhere
[02:58.36] I get so mad I could yell, the
[02:59.91] Other day, someone got all elaborate
[03:01.69] And stuck a head from a fucking dead cat in my mailbox
[03:04.83] Went to Burger King
[03:05.72] They spit on my onion rings
[03:07.27] I think my karma's catching up with me
[03:09.02] Maybe that's why I feel so strange
[03:11.53] Got it all, but I still won't change
[03:13.64] Maybe that's why I can't leave Detroit
[03:16.23] It's the motivation that keeps me going
[03:18.59] This is the inspiration I need
[03:20.19] I can never turn my back on a city that made me
[03:22.59] And (life's been good to me so far)
[03:28.66] Got friends on Facebook
[03:30.66] All over the world
[03:33.53] Not sure what that means
[03:35.54] They tell me it's good
[03:37.44] So I'm artist of the decade
[03:40.52] I even got a plaque
[03:43.37] I'd hang it up, but
[03:45.38] The frame is all cracked
[03:47.70] I'm tryna be low-key
[03:48.94] Hopefully nobody notices me
[03:50.50] In produce, hunched over, giant nosebleed, ogre
[03:53.17] Style as I mosey over to the frozen aisle
[03:55.66] By the frozen yogurt this guy approached me
[03:57.67] Embarrassed, I just did Comerica
[03:59.37] With Hova, the show's over
[04:00.73] I'm hiding in Kroger buying groceries
[04:02.50] He just had front row seats
[04:03.73] Told me to sign this poster, then insults me
[04:05.70] "Wow, up close, didn't know you had crow's feet!"
[04:08.42] I'm at a crossroad, lost, still shopping at Costco
[04:10.83] Sloppy Joe's, bulk waffles
[04:12.44] Got caught picking my nose, ah!
[04:14.04] Look over, see these two hot hoes
[04:15.61] Finger's still up in one of my nostrils
[04:17.26] Right next to 'em
[04:17.88] Stuck at the light
[04:18.77] The fuckin' shit's takin' forever to change, It's stuck
[04:21.19] These bitches are loving it, rubbing it in, chuckling
[04:23.28] Couldn't do nothing, play it off
[04:24.65] "What you bumping? Trunk Muzik?"
[04:26.18] "Yelawolf's better," fucking bitch
[04:27.64] They want me to flip at the label
[04:28.92] But I won't succumb to it
[04:30.03] The pressure, they want me to follow up with another one
[04:32.39] After Recovery was so highly coveted
[04:34.37] But what good is a fucking recovery if I fumble it?
[04:37.04] 'Cause I'ma drop the ball if I don't get a grip
[04:38.76] Hopping out shrubbery on you sons of bitches
[04:40.95] Wrong subdivision to fuck with, bitch
[04:42.64] Quit snapping fucking pictures of my kids
[04:44.20] I love my city, but you push me to my limit, what a pity
[04:46.76] The shit I complain about
[04:48.11] It's like there ain't a cloud in the sky, and it's raining out
[04:50.57] Kool-Aid stain on the couch
[04:51.84] I'll never get it out
[04:52.88] Bitch, I got an elevator in my house
[04:55.01] Ants and a mouse, I'm living the dream
[04:56.84] Maybe that's why I feel so strange
[04:59.23] Got it all, but I still won't change
[05:01.31] Maybe that's why I can't leave Detroit
[05:04.06] It's the motivation that keeps me going
[05:06.36] This is the inspiration I need
[05:07.85] I can never turn my back on a city that made me
[05:10.21] And (life's been good to me so far)
[05:13.18]
