Paramedic:      {DMC we have a mid-thirties male found down..unresponsive...possible overdose...substance unknown...pulse is sixty-and-thready(?)...respiration is eight, he's intubated and we're baggin' him now...uh, BP is ninety over palp (?) patient is cool, pale, and diuretic...has aspirated...Uh, GSC is three, we'll update en route--ETA ten minutes...}      {Eminem} Verse 1:      As I, fall deeper into a manic state   I'm a prime candidate for the gene to receive the drug-addict trait   Blood pressure climbs at a dramatic rate   I seem to gravitate to the bottle of NyQuil then I salivate   Start off with the NyQuil like, "I think I'll just have a taste"   Couple a sips of that then I gradually graduate   To a harder prescription drug called Valium, like "Yeah that's great"   I go to just take one and I end up like havin' eight   Now I need somethin' in my stomach cuz I haven't ate   Maybe I'll grab a plate of nachos and I'll have a steak   And you'd THINK that with all I have at stake...   Look at my daughter's face "Mommy something is wrong with Dad I think!   He's acting weird again, he's really beginning to scare me   Won't shave his beard again and he pretends he doesn't hear me!   And all he does is eat Doritos and Cheetos and he just   Fell asleep in his car eatin' Three Musketeer's in the rear seat"      Chorus:      Sometimes I feel so alone, I just don't know   Feels like I been down this road before   So lonely and cold, it's like something takes over me   As soon as I go home and close the door   God it feels like Deja Vu   I wanna get away from this place, I do   But I can't, and I won't   See I try, but I know    That's a lie, cuz I don't   And why I just don't know...      Verse 2:      "Maybe just an ice-cold brew, what's a beer?"   That's the devil in my ear, I've been sober a fuckin' year   And that fucker still talks to me, he's all I can fuckin' hear   "Marshall come on, we'll watch the game it's the Cowboys and Buccaneers"   And maybe if I just drink half, I'll be half-buzzed for half of the time   Who's the mastermind behind that little line?   With that kind of rationale, man I got half a mind   To have another half-a-glass of wine, sounds asinine    Yeah I know, but I never had no problem with alcohol   "Ouch! Look out for the wall   Aim for the couch, I'm 'bout to fall!"   I miss the couch and down I go lookin' like a bouncy ball   Shit musta knocked me out cuz I ain't feel the ground at all   "Wow, what the fuck happened last night, where am I?   Man, FUCK am I hungover and god damn I, got a head ache   Shit half a Vicodin, why can't I?"   *chhk* "All systems ready for take-off, please stand by"      CHORUS         Verse 3:       So I take a Vicodin splash it hits my stomach then *ahh*   Couple a weeks go by and it ain't even like I'm gettin' high   Now I need it just to not feel sick, yeah I'm gettin' by   Wouldn't even be takin' this shit if DeShaun didn't die   Oh yeah, there's an excuse you lose Proof so you use   There's new rules, it cool if it's helpin' you to get through   It's twelve noon, ain't no harm in self-inducin' a snooze   What else is new? Fuck it what would Elvis do in your shoes?   Now here I am three months later, full blown relapse   "Just get high until the kids get home from school homes, relax"   And since I'm convinced that I'm an insomniac   I need these pills to be able to sleep so I take three naps   Just to be able to function throughout the day   Let's see, that's an Ambien each nap; How many Valium, three?   And that would average out to one good hour's sleep   Okay so now ya see, the reason how come he   Has taken four years to just put out an album, B   See me and you we almost had the same outcome, Heath   Cuz that Christmas, you know the whole pneumonia thing?   It was bologna, was it the methadone ya think?   Or the hydrocodone you hide inside your pornos   Your VCR tapes cases with your Ambien CR, great places   To hide 'em ain't it? So you can lie to Hailie   "I'm goin' bed-e-bye Whintey baby, good night Alaina!"   Go in the room and shut the bedroom door   And wake up in an ambulance   They said they found me on the bathroom floor (DAMN)      CHORUS
