Eminem - 25 to Life lyrics

Too late for the other side
Caught in a chase, twenty-five to life
Too late for the other side
Caught in a chase, twenty-five to life
Too late (yeah, I can't keep chasing you
I'm taking my life back)
Caught in a chase, twenty-five to life

I don't think she understands the
Sacrifices that I've made
Maybe if this bitch had acted
Right I woulda stayed
But I've already wasted over half my life
I woulda laid down and died for you, I
No longer cry for you, no more pain
Bitch, you took me for granted
Took my heart and ran it
Straight into the planet
Into the dirt, I can no longer stand it
Now my respect, I demand it
I'ma take control of this relationship
Command it
And I'ma be the boss of you now, goddamn it
And what I mean is that I will
No longer let you control me
So you better hear me out
This much you owe me
I gave up my life for you
Totally devoted to you I have stayed
Faithful all the way
This is how I fuckin' get repaid?
Look at how I dress, fuckin' baggy sweats
Go to work a mess
Always in a rush to get back to you
I ain't heard you yet
Not even once say you appreciate me
I deserve respect i've done my best to give
You nothin' less than perfectness
And I know that if I end this
I'll no longer have nothin' left
But you keep treatin' me like a
Staircase: it's time to fuckin' step
And I won't be comin' back
So don't hold your fuckin' breath
You know what you've done
No need to go in-depth
I told you you'd be sorry if I fuckin' left
I laughed while you wept
How's it feel now? yeah, funny
Ain't it? You neglected me
Did me a favor though
My spirit free you've set
But a special place for you in
My heart I have kept
It's unfortunate, but it's

Too late for the other side
Caught in a chase, twenty-five to life
(yeah, can't take no more)
Too late for the other side
Caught in a chase, twenty-five to life

I feel like when I bend
Over backwards for you, all you do is laugh
'Cause that ain't good enough
You expect me to fold myself
In half till I snap
Don't think I'm loyal, all I do is rap
How can I moonlight on the side? I
Have no life outside of that
Don't I give you enough of my
Time? You don't think so, do you?
Jealous when I spend time with the girls
Why I'm married to you still?
Man, I don't know
But tonight I'm serving you with papers
I'm divorcing you – go marry someone
Else and make 'em famous!
And take away their freedom like
You did to me
Treat 'em like you don't need 'em
And they ain't worthy of you
Feed 'em the same shit that you made me eat
I'm moving on, forget you
Oh, now I'm special? I ain't feel
Special when I was with you
All I ever felt was this helplessness
Imprisoned by a selfish bitch
Chew me up and spit me out, I fell for this
So many times it's ridiculous
And still I stick with this, I'm sick of this
But in my sickness and addiction
You're addictive as they get
Evil as they come
Vindictive as they make 'em
My friends keep askin' me why I
Can't just walk away from
I'm addicted to the pain
The stress, the drama, i'm drawn to
Shit, I guess I'm a mess, cursed and blessed
But this time I ain't changin' my mind
I'm climbin' out this abyss
You're screamin' as I walk out
That I'll be missed
But when you spoke of people who
Meant the most to you
You left me off your list
Fuck you, hip hop! I'm leavin' you
My life sentence is served, bitch
And it's just

Too late for the other side
Caught in a chase, twenty-five to life
(I'm gone, man) too late for the other side
Caught in a chase, twenty-five to life
Too late
Caught in a chase, twenty-five to life
