Eminem - So Far... Lyrics
I own a mansion but live in a house
A king-size bed, but I sleep on the couch
I'm Mister Bright Side, glass is half-full
But my tank's half empty, gasket just blew
Thirty minutes from home gotta lay a log cabin, only option I have's McDonald's' bathroom
In a public stall droppin' a football so every time someone walks in the John I get Maddened
"Shady, what up?" What? Come on, man, I'm crappin'
And you're askin' for my goddamn autograph on a napkin?
Oh, that's odd, I just happened
To run out of tissue, yeah, hand me that on second though I'd be glad then
"Thanks dog. Name's Todd, a big fan" I
Wiped my ass with it, crumbled it up in a wad threw it back and
Told 'im, "Todd, you're the shit." When's all of this crap end?
Can't pump my gas without causin' an accident
Without someone passin' through my sub harassin'
I'd count my blessings but I suck at math
I'd rather wallow than bask, suffering succotash, but the ant-
Acid it gives my stomach gas
When I mix my corn with my fuckin' mashed
Potatoes, so what hoe kiss my country bumpkin ass
Missouri southern roots, what the fuck is upper class?
Call lunch dinner, call dinner supper, Tupperware in the cupboard plastic ware up the ass
Stuck in the past iPod what the fuck is that?
B-Boy to the core, mule, I'm as stubborn as
Maybe that's why I feel so strange
Got it all, but I still won't change
Maybe that's why I can't leave Detroit
It's the motivation that keeps me going
This is the inspiration I need
I could never turn my back on a city that made me
And "life's been good to me so far"
They call me classless I heard that
I second and third that
Don't know what the fuck I'd be doin' if it weren't rap
Probably be a giant turd sack
But I blew, never turned back
Turned forty and still sag
Teenagers act more fuckin' mature Jack
Fuck you gonna say to me? I'll leave on my own terms ass
Hole I'm going berserk, my nerves are bad
But I love the perks my work has
I get to meet famous people look at her, dag
Her nylons are ran, her skirt's snagged and I heard she drag races [burp] swag
Tuck in my Hanes shirt tag
You're Danica Patrick (yeah) word skag
We'd be the perfect match, 'cause you're a vacuum, I'm a dirtbag
My apologies
No disrespect to technology
But what the heck's all of these buttons?
You expect me to sit here and learn that?
Fuck I gotta do to hear this new song from Luda
Be an expert at computers?
I'd rather be an Encyclopedia Britannica
Hell with PlayStation, I'm still on my first man on some Zelda
Nintendo, bitch! Run, jump, punch, stab, and I melt the
Mozzarella on my spaghetti put it on bread make a sandwich with Welch's
And belch, they say this spray butter's bad for my health,
But I think this poor white trash from the trailer
Jed Clampett, Fred Sanford and welfare, mentality helps to
Keep me grounded, that's why I never take full advantage of wealth
I managed to dwell
Within these parameters
Still crammin' the shelves full of Hamburger Helper
I can't even help it, this is the hand I was dealt a
Creature of habit, feel like I'm trapped in an animal shelter
With all these pet peeves, God damn it to hell
I can't stand all these kids with their camera cellphones
I can't go anywhere, I get so mad I could yell the
Other day someone got all elaborate
And stuck a head from a fuckin' dead cat in my mailbox
Went to Burger King, they spit on my onion rings
I think my karma's catching up with me
Maybe that's why I feel so strange
Got it all, but I still won't change
Maybe that's why I can't leave Detroit
It's the motivation that keeps me going
This is the inspiration I need
I could never turn my back on a city that made me
And "life's been good to me so far"
Got friends on Facebook all over the world
Not sure what that means, they tell me it's good
So, I'm artist of the decade, I even got a plaque
I'd hang it up but the frame is all cracked
I'm tryin' to be low-key, hopefully nobody notices me
In produce, hunched over, giant nose bleed
Ogre style as I mosey over to the frozen aisle, by the frozen yogurt this guy approached me
Embarrassed, I just did Comerica with Hova the show's over, I'm hidin' in Kroger's buyin' groceries
He just had front-row seats told me to sign his poster then insults me
"Wow up close didn't know you had crow's feet!"
I'm at a crossroads, lost, still shopping at Costco's
Sloppy Joe's, bulk waffles
Got caught pickin' my nose (aaghh!) look over see these two hot hoes
Finger still up one of my nostrils
Right next to 'em, stuck at the light the fuckin' shit's
Takin' forever to change, it's stuck these bitches are lovin' it
Rubbin' it in, chucklin'
Couldn't do nothin' play it off "What you bumpin'?"
"Trunk Muzik, Yelawolf's better", fuckin' bitch
They want me to flip at the label, but I won't succumb to it
The pressure, they want me to follow up with a
Nother one after Recovery was so highly coveted
But what good is a fuckin' recovery if I fumble it?
'Cause I'mma drop the ball if I don't get a grip, hoppin' out shrubbery on you sons of bitches
Wrong subdivision
To fuck with, bitch, quit snappin' fuckin' pictures of my kids
I love my city,
But you pushed me to the limit. What a pity
The shit I complain about
It's like there ain't a cloud in the sky, and it's rainin' out
Kool-Aid stain on the couch, I'll never get it out
But, bitch, I got an elevator in my house, ants and a mouse
I'm livin' the dream
Maybe that's why I feel so strange
Got it all, but I still won't change
Maybe that's why I can't leave Detroit
It's the motivation that keeps me going
This is the inspiration I need
I could never turn my back on a city that made me
And "life's been good to me so far"

Eminem So Far... Comments
Soooo underrated . This would be played on every radio station if it was early 2000s but they tryna end em now
What kills me is this sing is SOOOOO slept in. The track is hilarious and just damn fun to listen to and of COURSE I memorized the whole damn track. ❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥
album rocks!
Super fuckin underrated song I swear man smh
Who spots the M.O.P beat? It's also funny that the youngins don't realize this is an old rock song by Joe Walsh.
I love how he Takes old rock songs and then Flips it with a Flow ...
1) So Far
2) rhythm or Reason
3) In your Head
4) Crazy in Love
5) Till I Collapse
6) all Doper Then The Originals 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
A reflection
Just wondering if you crib gonna be like Graceland..
2020 and this song still great!!!
2:59 lmao that absolutely kicked me...... I loved hearing that
This songs makes me wanna get my harmonica stolen while I'm walking down the road and i throw a knife at the person, maybe I'm a psycho.
2019 anyone 👀
EMINEM SINGS BETTER THAN BILLIE ISH
I listened to the Marshall mathers lp2 in 2019 and it was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ikr? Its such a good album. Most people overlook MMLP2. One of my personal favs
It is a complete and utter shame how underappreciated this song goes. I would fucking pay to see someone else try and rhyme over this beat. This man is honestly in another dimension of his own when it comes to wordsmithing. Y'all need to respect this shit.
This is my favorite Eminem song. So me at this point in my life
I love Eminem
If you pay attention really well this is eminem ft slim shady
Sooo, everyone caught that football line right?
milford
Damn 2013 to 2014 good memories
Cool as hell
"Feel like I'm trapped in a animal shelter with all these Pet Pevs...🔥
I want to start 4th shin dig indiana with her and find locale friends on fb ain't working cause I've searched high and low for her just a cops link to spi
The GOAT 🔥🔥🐐
Love Walsh and Em, so this is awesome
I like Eminem’s singing more than the eagles
this is the best fucking thing i have ever heard in my entire god damn motherfuckin[' life
2:02 lmao
at 2:58 I love how the instrumental switches to "I'm back" and "The Real Slim Shady"
Real country rap before horses in the back
2019? lmao
Eminem = Rap Genius
Anyone who honestly thinks Eminem isn't one of the best Rappers in Hip Hop history needs to drown themselves in the bathtub. Anyone that disagrees can always buy a cheap rope at Kmart.
12k likes fkn dissrespectful to the g.o.a.t
Tho I hate alot on Ems shit after the overdose.. there's no denying he always throws gems in a song "what good is a recovery if I fumble it?" this album could've been great but alot of his references were just cringe, and out of date. Also him sampling Joe Walsh and other rock music alot instead of working with Dre and being original hurt in what others would say could've been a great album.
“They say they’re tired of me sampling Joe Walsh.” SHADYXV
@Tyrus_Alon_Tallon but it's true ...at least he admits it..be original and link with Dre
Aye but does anybody wonder if Joe Walsh has listened to this? I always wonder how he woulda reacted if he has, hm.
This whole album is so under rated
what did we do to deserve him
I've come *So far* since the cringe 6 year old when this came out
I've come so far
eminem should do this live with joe walsh. i could die in peace if that happened..
"I'd hang it up but the frame is all cracked" referenced the way i am
Has a nice country vibe to it.
That whole zelda, belchin, welches verse has everything
I count my blessings, but I suck at
math :)
I feel like nobody realizes the I’m back reference. If you know it, time stamp it.
He referenced I’m Back on the Bad Meets Evil album as well, it’s amazing how he can reference the same line over and over but switch it up to make a whole new line.
3:00-3:03
My fucking gasket just blew..
Listen to
Joe Walsh - life's been good
I SING THIS SONG DAILY AT WORK TO GET ME THROUGH THE DAY!!!!!!
2:29 hmm I wonder if the spaghetti he's talking about is his moms spaghetti🤔
Maybe that's why I can't leave Detroit,
It's the motherfucker that keeps me going.
3:04 everyones fav throw back moment tho
Nintendo bitch xD
My life is complete now
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXWvKDSwvls incase anyone wanted to hear the inspiration
Joe Walsh’s life’s been good is better than this
This song helps when I feel depressed
I don't take my existence too seriously after hearing it
2019 .? still the best rapper alive EM
He sure does talk about trying to play Zelda a lot. I don't blame him. He's missing out
I like Joe Walsh's version more
Eminem is the Tony Stark of rap
0:13 Eminem owns bright side confirmed
2:58 - 3:06 the best part of this song
Joe Walsh
This is awesome
When the I’m back reference pops up is awesom
He also referenced Elevator from Relapse:Refill 🔥
Xcuzuz I blew a fuse
I wish he only used the beat to the chorus.
😂 legit just a mash of Eminem with country rock 😂
A Zelda reference. Nice.
That "Elevator" reference though 😂
I wish people would stop pretending to have half a God knows how many like it or wow when absolutely nothing is fin said!I mean pathetic to say the least.
I love how he sampled The Real Slim Shady when he referenced it
He also referenced I’m Back too
"got friends on facebook, all over the world, not sure what that means, they tell me it´s good" I love that line XD
Am I the only one who likes Ems singing ?
Forget the references to his own songs, has anyone else noticed how many references to food there are? I can't help but feel like he missed lunch the day he started this song.
such an underrated song smh
Theres so many fucking references to his older shit god damn
3:00 wtf
What's the original rock song
Life’s Been Good by Joel Wash
Good fun. Underrated album.
The glass is neither 1/2 full nor empty. It's completley full of molecules, atoms, nano particles etc.
This album was made to make Stans happy
:What good is a 'recovery' if I fumble it
Coz imma drop the ball if I don't get a grip"
Sound better after years
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXWvKDSwvls Shady should be giving a shout out to Joe Walsh for ripping off his song... lol
Probly be a giant turd sac
I love the first line!
so underrated
3:47-4:07 is so damn creative and funny! I love the eeriness to it. Does anybody know what the instrument used other than the drum is called and what notes it is (if it's some keyboard)?
glass cuts
Ha reading comments and cant stop laughing.
Yeah idiots the references are obvious, and his puns are insane we all know.
