Song byEminem

in AlbumEminem Presents The Re-Up

I sense someones tapping into my phones why do

I got this feeling in my bones I might die soon

The F.B.I might be tryin to pull my file soon

I might be walking blind fold into a typhoon

I might be seeing rockets light up the night sky

Right outside of the window of my living room

And if they do you can say goodnight and bye bye to them itunes

If I don't try to record as much before I do

The plan is to have as many in the can as I can

As I stand before you in this booth a walking deadman

Blank stare dead pan look as my face as I gaze into space

As I wait to be scooped up in that van

Mysteriously disappear into thin air

And they gon' say a sniper just appeared out of no where

And I'll go down in the history as the blood sucking leech

Who hid behind the freedom of speech

Tryed to take the fifth amendment use it, twist it and bend it

And ended up dying to fill out in the heros splinters (?)

The business way to end this I can feel the tremors tremendous

In remembrance of september 11

Flash back to september 7th

When Tupac was murdered in Vegas

He said that he predicted his own death

Let us never forget it or should we ever live to regret it

Like the day John F Kennedy was assasinated in broad day

By a craze lunatic with a gun

Who just happened to work on the same block in a library book depository

Where the President would go for a little friday stroll

Shots fired from the grassy knoll

But they don't know or do they?

Where all vunerable and it's spooky

This is about as cookey as I've ever felt now

Count down to Nuclear Meltdown

7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

You can run you can do what you want to

But you know you aint gonna do nuttin

When its time its your time

You are the prime target

You have become Public Enemy Number 1
