If I had - Eminem
Life, by Marshall Mathers.
what is life?
Life is like a big obstacle in front of you optical to slow you down.
And every time you think you've gotten passed it, it's gonna come back around and
tackle you to the Damn ground.
What are friends?
Friends are people you think are your friends but they're really your enemies with
secret identities.
In disguises to hide they true colors, so just when you think you close enough to be
brothers the wanna come back and cut your throat when you ain't looking.
What is money? Money is what makes a man act funny.
Money is the root of all evil.
Money will make them same friends come back around,
swearing that they was always down.
What is Life, I'm tired of life!
I'm tired of back stabbing ass snakes with friendly grins,
I'm tired of committing so many sins,
Tired of always giving in when this bottle of hinny wins,
tired of never having any ends
tired of having skinny friends hooked on crack and many things
I'm tired of this d.j. playing your shit when he spins,
tired of not having a deal, Tired of having to deal with this bull shit without
grabbing the steal.
Tired of drowning in my sorrow, Tired of having to borrow a dollar for gas to start
my Monte Carlo.
I'm tired of mother fuckers spraying shit and darting off,
I'm tired of jobs starting off at $5.50 an hour and the boss wonders why I'm
smarting off,
Tired of being fired every time i fart and cough.
Tired of having to work as a gas station clerk, with this jerk breathing down my
neck driving my Byzerk.
I'm tired of using plastic silverware, Tired of working at builder square.
Tired of not being a millionaire.
(chorus)
* "but if i had a million dollars, i'd buy a Damn brewery and turn the planet into
alcoholics. if i had a magic wand, i'd make the world suck my dick with out a
condom on while i'm on the john. if i had a million bucks, it wouldn't be enough
cuz i'd still be out robbing armored trucks. if i had one wish i would ask for a big
enough ass for the whole world to kiss."*
Tired of being white trash broke and always poor. Tired of taking pop bottles back
to the party store.
Tired of not having a phone, Tired of not having a home to have one in if i did
have one on.
tired of not driving a BM, tired of not working at GM tired of wanting to be him.
Tired of not sleeping with out a tylonol p.m.
tired of not performing in a packed coliseum,
tired of not being on tour, tired of fucking the same blonde whore after work in the
back of a contour.
I'm tired of faking knots with a stack of ones, having a lack of funds and resorting
back to guns.
Tired of being stared, tired of wearing the same Damn nike air hat.
Tired of stepping in clubs wearing the same pair of Lugz.
tired of hearing people say they tired of hearing me rap about drugs.
tired of other rappers who ain't bringing half the skill as me saying they wasn't
feeling me or nobody's as ill as me.
and Im tired of radio stations telling fibs, Tired of j.o.b. saying where hip hop lives.
*CHORUS*
(spoken)... you know what i'm saying? i'm tired of all of this bullshit. telling me to
be positive, how my `posed` to be positive when i don't see shit positive? You
know what i'm saying? I rap about shit around my shit I see. you know what i'm
saying and right now i'm tired of everything. tired of all this player hating that's
going on in my own city. you can't get away a players, you know what i'm
saying? but hey it's cool though, you know what i'm saying. I'm just fed up!
That's my word.

I hold the dubious honor of being the only person never modded who has also never been to a party who in the past had a shared account with a vegetable reference that has had consensual sex with a woman who wasn't from the board that also knows what >) means and remembers the end of the golden age.
