Eminem - Careful What You Wish For Lyrics
[Verse 1]
So this is it...
This is what I wished for
Just isn't how I envisioned it
Famed to the point of imprisonment
But something changed
The minute that I got a whiff of it
I started to inhale it
Smell it
Started sniffin' it
And it became my cocaine
I just couldn't quit
I just wanted a little bit
Then it turned me (in) to a monster
I became a hypocrite
I was raking in the dough
Rolling in green
Had the game hemmed up
Like a sewing machine
But I was losing my freedom
There was no where for me
To not go and be seen
And just go and be me
And there was no in-between
You either loved it or hate it
Every CD critics gave it a 3, then 3
Years later, they'd go back and re-rate it
And call the Slim Shady LP the greatest
The Marshall Mathers was a classic
The Eminem Show was fantastic
But Encore just didn't have the caliber to match it
I guess enough time just ain't passed, yet
A couple more years, that shit'll be ill-matic
And eight years later, I'm still at it
Divorce, re-married
A felon
A father
Sleeping pill addict
And this is real talk
I feel like the Incredible Hulk
My back has been broke, and I can still walk
[Chorus]
So be careful what you wish for
'Cause you just might get it
And if you get it then you just might not know
What to do wit' it, 'cause it might just
Come back on you ten-fold
I said
Be careful what you wish for
'Cause you just might get it
And if you get it then you just might not know
What to do wit' it, 'cause it might just
Come back on you ten-fold
[Verse 2]
I got a letter from a fan, that said
He's been praying for me
Every day and for some reason
It's been weighing on my mind heavy
'Cause I don't read every
Letter I get, but something told me to go ahead and open it, but
Why would someone pray for you when they don't know you?
You didn't pray for me when I was local
And as I lay these vocals
I think of all the shit I had to go through
Just to get to where I'm at
I've already told you at least
A thousand times in these rhymes
I appreciate the prayer, but I've already got
God on my side
And it's been one hell of a ride, hasn't it?
Just watchin' it from an opposite standpoint
Man, boy's got to look
Nuts
And that's the only word I can think of right now
On how
To describe the shit
This is like a vibe you get
Go ahead and bob to it
Just watch what you wish for, 'cause I got the shit
[Chorus]
So be careful what you wish for
'Cause you just might get it
And if you get it then you just might not know
What to do wit' it, 'cause it might just
Come back on you ten-fold
I said
Be careful what you wish for
'Cause you just might get it
And if you get it then you just might not know
What to do wit' it, 'cause it might just
Come back on you ten-fold

Eminem is nasty.
New sub. U earned
Em the GOAT. Check me out if y'all got a sec,First track more to come!!!!
Shit😣😣em❤️
If this song had a third verse it would be one of his best
So this is it
This is what I wished for
Just isn't how I envisioned it
Fame to the point of imprisonment
I just thought the shit'd be different

*greatest rapper of all time* and no I’m not an Eminem fan. I’m a rap fan. I say that objectively without any bias. Better rapper than Pac.. better than B.I.G... better than Jay Z and better than Nas. Now this is all arguable, most people (black people) will feel like all the rappers I listed are better and sure, that’s debatable and respectable opinion. *But what’s not debatable is that Eminem is top 5 dead or alive*
I have never been so offended by something I 100 percent agree with
He needs to drop an album now,straight to platinum from people wanting to hear him destroy nick nerf gun.
He’s talking to Nick in the hook 😂😂
Fuk there shhiiittt M ..9MM ..BABY

News lies Taken All sharks to my orca home tonight they won't survive Let the phone hit the floor and may the Orca's get them all in the back door
Who’s still listening this 2019?
WHO R YOU WITH R MARRYING??? NONE OF MY BUSINESS JUST WONDERING?
That fan got what he wished for
Ain't heard this in years it's like all Em old songs are coming back
This lamp and alright
Nick cannon should listen to this song before eminem goes all out
EM will always be a lyrical genius no matter how controversial. You have to appreciate his talent whether you agree or disagree he has ways with words.

Relapse is an album that not many can understand. the genius , the G.O.A.T got everybody thinking

START YOUR NEW LIFE WITH
CHRIST
You can have real, lasting peace today through a relationship with Jesus Christ. Start your four-step journey now!
Step 1 – God loves you START YOUR NEW LIFE WITH
CHRIST
You can have real, lasting peace today through a relationship with Jesus Christ. Start your four-step journey now!
Step 1 – God loves you and has a plan for you!
The Bible says, “God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, [Jesus Christ], that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life” (John 3:16). Jesus said, “I came that they may have life and have it abundantly”—a complete life full of purpose (John 10:10). But here’s the problem:
Step 2 – Man is sinful and separated from God.
We have all done, thought or said bad things, which the Bible calls “sin.” The Bible says, “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). The result of sin is death, spiritual separation from God (Romans 6:23). The good news?
Step 3 – God sent His Son to die for your sins!
Jesus died in our place so we could have a relationship with God and be with Him forever. “God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). But it didn’t end with His death on the cross. He rose again and still lives! “Christ died for our sins. … He was buried. … He was raised on the third day, according to the Scriptures” (1 Corinthians 15:3-4). Jesus is the only way to God. Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me” (John 14:6).
Step 4 – Would you like to receive God’s forgiveness?
We can’t earn salvation; we are saved by God’s grace when we have faith in His Son, Jesus Christ. All you have to do is believe you are a sinner, that Christ died for your sins, and ask His forgiveness. Then turn from your sins—that’s called repentance. Jesus Christ knows you and loves you. What matters to Him is the attitude of your heart, your honesty. We suggest praying the following prayer to accept Christ as your Savior:
"Dear God,
I know I’m a sinner, and I ask for your forgiveness.
I believe Jesus Christ is Your Son. I believe that He died
for my sin and that you raised Him to life.
I want to trust Him as my Savior and follow Him as Lord,
from this day forward. Guide my life and help me to do your will.
I pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen."
has a plan for you!
The Bible says, “God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, [Jesus Christ], that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life” (John 3:16).

So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Galatians 5:16-21 NIV
https://bible.com/bible/111/gal.5.16-21.NIV
Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.
Romans 13:10-14 NIV
https://bible.com/bible/111/rom.13.10-14.NIV
He is the realest artist ever just listen to him
STILL A LEGEND 2020
The hook on this song is fucking perfect!!!
Yes I know love and hate follow side by side because when you love someone deeply they can hurt you the most and it makes you want to hate them because it's the easiest but I don't hate not really just Angry Words it's over in seconds it's love that I'm full of It's Hard Time full of which means it's pain I'm full of Tommy Gabby I need you guys you both of hurt me a bunch but I love you guys greatly even that evil little ginger Lori you're still one of my closest friends Auburn you helped me get through so much and I'm sorry for how I treated you I had a lot of hurt inside because of you a lot of rejection from you and I looked at you as more than that I thought our crazy was on the same level most of my friends have done some really dumb things but most of them are crazy smart it's my respect for them that's what groom I love
R.I.P proof
This Was Originally Going To Be On The King Mathers Album
Scheduled To Be Released In 2007 It Was Scrapped For Relapse
I think king mathers would have been phenomenal had it released man. I love the tone, the emotion, and the style of almost all the songs originally recorded for it that I've heard. Would've had a completely different, more classic eminem today if it had come out.
Best intro ever
true fans see his whole career rather than judge someones whole career on one individual album
Sounds like guilt
🇧🇷❤️👽🔥
Critics gave it a 3 but 3 Years later I beat his homeless ass and left him 9 grand.
I think recovery is the best. And honestly he a better lyrisct then he ever was
KING MATHERS!!
People think they want this shit till they get it in oter words carefull what you wish for
хороший трэк
He’s gettin worse go back to rapping like you used to I liked them days better anyway. Others might like today’s style but me personality I like it b4 all the childish beef
There needs to be one more eminem movie. Showing him from the last scene in 8 mile walking back to his moms place to sleep and eventually getting signed and stardom of his celebrity life and stuff.
Back scene 😪
Man this is the problem with me.. I don't only like Em but i respect him so much at the same time. Real talk. This guy is dope af 💯🔥
In 1996 Eminem kidnapped the rap and never gave it back.
Obie b4 Proof em why

Eminem sacrificed proof for fame and now regrets and this is song says all... How he was rolling in green and he wanted more and more
Sacrificed proo- stfu....
Wtf are you even talking about. Em was famous before Proof died.
To me Shady His and will Always Be the Best Rapper Hip Hop and Freestyle Ever to be on the same time as us. We should be grateful for having Shady. Shady if you reed this you are unique, never again will we have the honour to have you in our life. Thank you for all the good times and amazing hip hop music. You are the GOAT.
Proof is proud for sure
happy birthday Slim
Relapse refill will always be my favorite album and Em will always be my favorite artist !
Eminem is greatest rapper alive
Stop with the who's here in 2019. This shit is timeless.
Biggest genius of all time.
He wants recovery...its either lose yourself or find yourself. This has the process of addiction and recovery described very well. Everyday was different...like a scale...he gets it.
love/evol..instead of evil/live.. yes i c now how that works. i EVOL(VE)WHILE LIVE is EVIL...perfectly knutts...FUCK Q, FIGURATIVELY & LITERALLY !!! I say that with all the feelings (HATE/INDIFFERENCE) U have shown me
the blunt hits better while im listenin to this classic
Fuck the critics. Relapse is definitely one of Eminem's top 3 albums
Im going to miss when eminem actually stops rapping hes not only a legend but hes still actually worth listening to after all these years of listening to his music, nothing he has created has ever been truly garbage some songs didnt match the caliber of others hes made but none were actually trash just lower in standards to what were used to hearing him put out, even though some we may not understand he himself knows the meaning behind them,
