Eminem - Déjà Vu lyrics

DMC, we have a mid-thirties male found down
Unresponsive
Possible overdose, substance unknown
Pulse is 60 and thready respiration is eight
He's intubated and we're bagging him now
Uh, BP 90 over palp
Patient is cool, pale, and diaphoretic
Has aspirated, uh, GSC is 3
Will update en route, ETA: ten minutes

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 of 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 having eight
Now I need something in my
Stomach 'cause 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
Eating 3 Musketeers in the rear seat, weird"

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
Kinda feels like déjà vu
I wanna get away from this place, I do
But I can't and I won't, say I try
But I know that's a lie
'Cause I don't and why, I just don't know

"Maybe just a nice 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 fucking 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 must've knocked me out 'cause I
Ain't feel the ground at all
Wow, what the fuck happened last
Night? Where am I?
Man, fuck, am I hungover, and goddamn
I got a headache
Shit, half a Vicodin, why can't I?
All systems ready for take off
Please stand by

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
Kinda feels like déjà vu
I wanna get away from this place, I do
But I can't and I won't, say I try
But I know that's a lie
'Cause I don't and why, I just don't know

So I take a Vicodin, splash
It hit's my stomach, then
(Ahhh) couple of weeks go by
It ain't even like I'm gettin' high
Now I need it just not to feel sick, yeah
I'm gettin' by
Wouldn't even be taking this shit
If DeShaun didn't die
Oh yeah, there's an excuse you lose Proof
So you use there's new rules
It's 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 will average out to
About 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
'Cause 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 tape cases, with your Ambien CR
Great places to hide 'em
Ain't it? So you can lie to Hailie
I'm going beddy-bye, Whitney
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

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
Kinda feels like déjà vu
I wanna get away from this place, I do
But I can't and I won't, say I try
But I know that's a lie
'Cause I don't and why, I just don't know
