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 Im talking to myself
No one seems to know my struggle, and everything Ive come from
Can anybody hear me? Yeah, I guess I keep talking to myself
It feels like Im going insane, am I the one whose crazy?
(So why in the world, do I feel so alone?
Nobody but me, Im 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 Im 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
Its like I was jealous of him cause of the attention he was gettin
I felt horrible about myself, he was spittin
And I wasnt, anyone who was buzzin back then coulda got it
Almost went at Kanye too,
God it feels like Im going psychotic, thank God that I didnt do it
Ida had my ass handed to me, and I knew it
But Proof isnt here to see me through it
Im in the booth, popping another pill, tryna talk myself into it
Are you stupid? Youre gon start dissing people for no reason?
Specially when you cant even write a decent punchline even?
Youre lying to yourself, youre slowly dying
Youre denying your health is declining with your self-esteem
Youre crying out for help
Is anybody out there? It feels like Im talking to myself
No one seems to know my struggle, and everything Ive come from
Can anybody hear me? Yeah, I guess I keep talking to myself
It feels like Im going insane, am I the one whose crazy?
(So why in the world, do I feel so alone?
Nobody but me, Im 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 Im not the only one)
Marshall youre no longer the man, thats a bitter pill to swallow
All I know is Im wallowing, self-loathing and hollow
Bottoms up on the pill bottle, maybe Ill hit my bottom tomorrow
My sorrow echoes in this hall though
But I must be talking to the wall though I dont see nobody else
(I guess I keep talking to myself)
But all these other rappers suck is all that I know
Ive turned into a hater, I put up a false bravado
But Marshall is not an egomaniac, thats not his motto
Hes not a desperado, hes desperate, his thoughts are bottled
Inside him, one foot on the brake, one on the throttle
Falling asleep with writers block in the parking lot of McDonalds
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 isnt them its you you fucking baby
Quit worrying bout what they do and do Shady, Im fucking going crazy
Is anybody out there? It feels like Im talking to myself
No one seems to know my struggle, and everything Ive come from
Can anybody hear me? Yeah, I guess I keep talking to myself
It feels like Im going insane, am I the one whose crazy?
(So why in the world, do I feel so alone?
Nobody but me, Im 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 Im 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
Its different, them last two albums didnt count
Encore I was on drugs, Relapse I was flushing em out
Ive 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 Im back to normal
I feel like me again, let me formally
Reintroduce myself to you for those of you who dont know
The new mes back to the old me and homie I dont show no
Signs of slowing up, oh and Im blowing up
All over my life is no longer a movie but the show aint over homos
Im back with a vengeance homie, Weezy keep ya head up
T.i. Keep ya head up, Kanye keep ya head up, dont let up
Just keep slaying em, rest in peace to DJ AM
Cause I know what its like
I struggle with this shit every single day and um
Is anybody out there? It feels like Im talking to myself
No one seems to know my struggle, and everything Ive come from
Can anybody hear me? Yeah, I guess I keep talking to myself
It feels like Im going insane, am I the one whose crazy?
(So why in the world, do I feel so alone?
Nobody but me, Im 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 Im 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. Im back! Ha ha
