Talkin’ 2 Myself (feat. Kobe)

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 I'm talkin' to myself No one seems to know my struggle And everything I've come from Can anybody hear me? Yeah, I guess I keep talkin' to myself It feels like I'm goin' insane Am I the one who's crazy? Yeah, woah-woah, woah-woah Woah-woah, woah-woah, woah-woah So why in the world do I feel so alone? Nobody but me, I'm on my own Is there anyone out there who feels the way I feel? If there is, then lend me an ear Just so I know that I'm not the only one I went away, I guess, and opened up some lanes But there was no one who even knew I was goin' through growin' pains Hatred was flowin' through my veins On the verge of goin' insane I almost made a song dissin' Lil Wayne It's like I was jealous of him 'Cause of the attention he was gettin' I felt horrible about myself He was spittin' And I wasn't, anyone who was buzzin' back then coulda got it Almost went at Kanye too God, it feels like I'm goin' psychotic Thank God that I didn't do it I'da had my ass handed to me, and I knew it But Proof wasn't here to see me through it I'm in the booth, poppin' another pill Tryna talk myself into it Are you stupid? You're gon' start dissin' people for no reason? 'Specially when you can't even write a decent punchline even? You're lyin' to yourself You're slowly dyin', you're denyin', your health Is declinin' with your self-esteem, you're cryin' out for help" Is anybody out there? It feels like I'm talkin' to myself No one seems to know my struggle And everything I've come from Can anybody hear me? Yeah, I guess I keep talkin' to myself It feels like I'm goin' insane Am I the one who's crazy? Yeah So why in the world do I feel so alone? Nobody but me, I'm on my own Is there anyone out there who feels the way I feel? If there is, then lend me an ear Just so I know that I'm not the only one Marshall, you're no longer the man That's a bitter pill to swallow All I know is I'm wallowin' Self-loathing and hollow Bottoms up on the pill bottle Maybe I'll hit my bottom tomorrow My sorrow echoes in this hall though (Oh-oh, oh) But I must be talkin' to the wall though I don't see nobody else (I guess I keep talkin' to myself) But all these other rappers suck is all that I know I've turned into a hater I put up a false bravado But Marshall is not an egomaniac, that's not his motto He's not a desperado, he's desperate His thoughts are bottled inside him One foot on the brake, one on the throttle Fallin' asleep with writer's block in the parkin' lot of McDonald's But instead of feelin' sorry for yourself, do something 'bout it Admit you got a problem, your brain is clouded You pouted long enough It isn't them, it's you, you fuckin' baby! Quit worryin' 'bout what they do, and do Shady I'm fuckin' goin' crazy Is anybody out there? It feels like I'm talkin' to myself No one seems to know my struggle And everything I've come from Can anybody hear me? Yeah, I guess I keep talkin' to myself It feels like I'm goin' insane Am I the one who's crazy? Yeah So why in the world do I feel so alone? Nobody but me, I'm on my own Is there anyone out there who feels the way I feel? If there is, then lend me an ear Just so I know that I'm not the only one So I picked myself up off the ground And fuckin' swam 'fore I drowned Hit my bottom so hard I bounced twice Fice, this time around It's different, them last two albums didn't count Encore, I was on drugs Relapse, I was flushin' 'em out I've come to make up to you now No more fuckin' around I got somethin' to prove to fans 'Cause I feel like I let 'em down So please accept my apology I finally feel like I'm back to normal I feel like me again, let me formally Reintroduce myself to you For those of you who don't know The new me's back to the old me And homie, I don't show no slowin' up Oh, and I'm blowin' up all over My life is no longer a mess, but the show ain't over, homos I'm back with a vengeance Weezy, keep ya head up, T.I., keep ya head up Kanye, keep ya head up, don't let up Just keep slayin' them Rest in peace to DJ AM 'Cause I know what it's like I struggle with this shit every single day, and um Is anybody out there? It feels like I'm talkin' to myself No one seems to know my struggle And everything I've come from Can anybody hear me? Yeah, I guess I keep talkin' to myself It feels like I'm goin' insane Am I the one who's crazy? Yeah So why in the world do I feel so alone? Nobody but me, I'm on my own Is there anyone out there who feels the way I feel? If there is, then lend me an ear Just so I know that I'm 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 goin' at It was never nothin' personal It was just some shit I was goin' through And to everybody else, I'm back (I'm back) Haha (Haha)
