Almost Famous

Lyrics

I can almost taste it
 This shit makes no sense to me
 What does it all mean?
 I can almost taste it
 I can almost see it
 This shit makes no sense to me
 What does it all mean?
 I can almost taste it
 Yeah, can't stop now
 This may be the last chance I get
 To be famous!
 You dream of trading places
 Oh-oh, I have been changing faces
 Oh-oh, you cannot fill these shoes
 Oh-oh, there is too much to lose
 Oh-oh-oh-oh, wake up behind these trenches
 Oh-oh, you run around defenceless
 Oh-oh, there is too much to lose
 Oh-oh, you cannot fill these shoes
 I just wanna be famous
 But
 Be careful what you wish for!
 I stuck my dick in this game like a rapist
 They call me Slim Roethlisberger
 I go berzerker than a fed up post office worker
 A merk her with a Mossberg
 I'm pissed off get murdered
 Like someone took a ketchup squirter
 Squirted a frankfurter
 For a gangster you sure did shit your pants
 When you saw the chainsaw get to waving
 Like a terrible towel
 How thangs turn around
 When his fangs come out
 Get your brains blown out
 That's what I call blowing your mind
 When I come back
 Like nut on your spine
 I'm a thumb tack
 That you slept on son
 Now here I come screaming "Attack!" like I just stepped on one
 Low on the totem till he showed 'em
 Defiance, giant scrotum
 He don't owe them bitches shit
 His britches, he out grow'd em
 He's so out cold he's knocked out at the South Pole
 And nobody fucks with him
 Rigor mortis and post mortem
 He's dying of boredom
 Take your best rhymes, record 'em
 Then try to thwart him
 He'll just take your punch lines and snort 'em
 Shit stained drawers
 You gon fuck with a guy who licks the blades of his chainsaws
 While he dips 'em in P.F. Chang's sauce
 Game's up, homie, hang it up like some crank calls
 You think I'm backing down you must be out of your dang skulls
 I'm almost famous!
 You dream of trading places
 Oh-oh, I have been changing faces
 Oh-oh, you cannot fill these shoes
 Oh-oh, there is too much to lose
 Oh-oh-oh-oh, wake up behind these trenches
 Oh-oh, you run around defenceless
 Oh-oh, there is too much to lose
 Oh-oh, you cannot fill these shoes
 I just wanna be famous
 But
 Be careful of what you wish for!
 I'm back for revenge
 I lost a battle that ain't happening again
 I'm at your throat like strep
 I step, strapped with a pen
 Metaphors wrote on my hand
 Some are just stored in my memory
 Some I wrote on a napkin
 I do what I have to to win
 Pulling out all stops, any who touch a mic prior's
 Not even Austin Powers, how the fuck are they Mike Meyers?
 And tell that psycho to pass the torch
 To the wacko before I take a shit in his Jack-O-Lantern
 And smash it on his porch
 Now get off my dick
 Dick's too short of a word for my dick
 Get off my antidisestablishmentarianism, you prick
 Don't call me the champ; call me the space shuttle destroyer
 I just blew up the Challenger, matter fact I need a lawyer
 I just laced my gloves with enough plaster to make a cast
 Beat his ass naked and peed in his corner
 Like Verne Troyer
 Y'all are Eminem backwards, you're Mini Me's
 See he's in a whole nother weight class
 He's slugs; you're BBs, you're bean-bag bullets
 You're full of it; you were dissing in his CD's
 Laughed at Infinite, now he's back like someone pissed in his Wheaties
 No peace treaties, he's turned into a beast
 His new Slim Shady EP's got the attention of the mighty D.R.E.
 He's almost famous!
 You dream of trading places
 Oh-oh, I have been changing faces
 Oh-oh, you cannot fill these shoes
 Oh-oh, there is too much to lose
 Oh-oh-oh-oh, wake up behind these trenches
 Oh-oh, you run around defenceless
 Oh-oh, there is too much to lose
 Oh-oh, you cannot fill these shoes
 I just wanna be famous
 But
 Be careful of what you wish for!
 Now there he goes in Dre's studio cupping his balls
 Screaming the wood off the paneling
 And cussing the paint off the walls
 Spewing his hate to these haters, showing no love for these broads
 He ain't given them shit, he says he'll pinch a penny so hard
 He'll leave a bruise on the bronze so dark you can see the mark
 With the scars, till Abraham Lincoln is screaming out "Aah!"
 These metaphors and similes ain't similar to them, not at all
 If they don't like it, they can all get fucked instead of sucking him off
 They can go get a belt or a neck tie, to hang themselves by
 Like David Carradine they can go fuck themselves and just die
 And eat shit while they at it
 He's fucking had it, he's mad at the whole world
 So go to hell and build a snowman, girl
 The bullies become bullied, and pussies get pushed
 Then they better pull me, take me back to 9th grade to school me
 Cause I ain't looking back, only forward, this whole spot blowing
 Who could've known he'd grow to be a poet and not know it
 And while I'm being poetic let me get it stoic and raise the bar
 Higher than my opinion of these women's been lowered
 So bear witness to some biblical shit
 There's a cold wind blowing this world ain't gonna know what hit it
 He did it
 He made it
 He's finally famous!
