Talkin' 2 Myself
Eminem
Recovery (2010)

(Intro)

Ayo, before i start this song man, I just wanna thank everyone for
being so patient
And bearing with me over the last couple years while I figure this
shit out

(Hook)

Is anybody out there, It feels like I'm talking to
myself
No one seems to know my struggle, and everything I come
from
Can anybody hear me yeah, I guess I keep talking to
myself
Feels like I'm going insane, am I the one who's
crazy

So why in the world do I feel so alone
Nobody but me, I'm on my own
Is there anyone out there, who feels the way I feel
That there is and let me know so I know that I'm not the only
one

(Verse 1)

I went away I guess that opened up some lanes
But there was no one who even knew I was going through growing
pains
Hatred was flowing through my veins, on the verge of going
insane
I almost made a song dissing Lil Wayne
It's like I was jealous of him, cause of the attention he was
getting
I felt horrible about myself, he was spitting and I
wasn't
Anyone who was buzzing back then could of got it
Almost went at Kanye too, god it feels like I'm going
psychotic
Thank god that I didn't do it
I'd of had my ass handed to me, and I knew it
But proof isn't here to see me through it
I'm in the booth popping another pill, tryna talk myself into
it
Are you stupid? You gon' start dissing people for no
reason
Especially when you can't even write a decent punchline
even
You're lying to yourself, you're slowing dying
You're denying, your health is declining with your self
esteem
you're crying out for help

(Hook)

Is anybody out there, It feels like I'm talking to
myself
No one seems to know my struggle, and everything I come
from
Can anybody hear me yeah, I guess I keep talking to
myself
Feels like I'm going insane, am I the one who's
crazy

So why in the world do I feel so alone
Nobody but me, I'm on my own
Is there anyone out there, who feels the way I feel
That there is and let me know so I know that I'm not the only
one

(Verse 2)

Marshall, you're no longer the man, that's a bitter pill to
swallow
All I know is I'm wallowing, self-loathing and
hollow
Bottoms up on the pill bottle, maybe I hit my bottom
tomorrow
My sorrow echos in this hall though
But I must be talking to the wall though, I don't see nobody
else
(I guess I keep talking to myself)
But all these other rappers suck is all that I know
I've turned into a hater, I put up a false mavado
But Marshall is not an egomaniac, that's not his
motto
He's not a desperado, he's desperate, his thoughts are
bottled
Inside him, one foot on the brake, one of the throttle
Falling asleep with writers block in the parking lot of
Mcdonalds
But instead of feeling sorry for yourself, do something about
it
Admit you got a problem, your brain is clouded
You're powdered long enough, It isn't them, its you, you
fucking baby
Quit worrying bout what they do and do Shady, I'm fucking going
crazy

(Hook)

Is anybody out there, It feels like I'm talking to
myself
No one seems to know my struggle, and everything I come
from
Can anybody hear me yeah, I guess I keep talking to
myself
Feels like I'm going insane, am I the one who's
crazy

So why in the world do I feel so alone
Nobody but me, I'm on my own
Is there anyone out there, who feels the way I feel
That there is and let me know so I know that I'm not the only
one

(Verse 3)

So I picked myself up off the ground, and fucking swam before I
drowned
Hit my bottom so hard I bounced twice, advice this time
around
It's different, them last 2 albums didn't count
Encore I was on drugs, Relapse I was flushing 'em
out
I've come to make it up to you, now no more fucking
around
I got something to prove to fans cause I feel like I let 'em
down
So please accept my apology, I finally feel like I'm back to
normal
I feel like me again, let me formally re-introduce
myself
To you for those of you who don't know
The new me's back to the old me, and homie I don't show
no
Signs of slowing or bowing, I'm blowing up all over
My life is no longer a movie, but the show ain't over
homos
I'm back with a vengeance homie, Weezy keep your head
up
T.I. keep your head up, Kanye keep your head up
Don't let up, just keep slaying em
Rest in peace to DJ AM, cause I know what this shit is
like
I struggle with this shit every single day and I'm

(Hook)

Is anybody out there, It feels like I'm talking to
myself
No one seems to know my struggle, and everything I come
from
Can anybody hear me yeah, I guess I keep talking to
myself
Feels like I'm going insane, am I the one who's
crazy

So why in the world do I feel so alone
Nobody but me, I'm on my own
Is there anyone out there, who feels the way I feel
That there is and let me know so I know that I'm not the only
one

(Outro)

So there it is, damn, feels like I just woke up or
something
Guess I just forgot who the fuck I was man
Ayo, and to anybody I thought about going at, It was never nothing
personal
Just some shit that I was going through
And to everybody else, I'm back!
