Take From Me

[Intro]

"You're gonna be okay kid, you're gonna be okay"

[Chorus: Claret Jai]

Is everything not enough?

What more can I give up?

Is there anyone that I can trust?

I give you my all and you still take from me

[Verse 1: Royce da 5’9”]

Uh, always been the type of dude that'd feed my clique

I know that without the fans, I ain't shit

But y'all better read my lips, I don't spit raps this ill

For you to just hack and steal and leak my shit, so peep my drift

I hope y'all don't think y'all helping me out

With that shit, that shit's stressing me out

Nickel nine is blowin' up; Christmas time

You should hang my album on top of your fireplace

'Cause around that time, my stockin's goin' up

Feels like a victory bittersweet, 'cause the bigger I get

The bigger the wedge between the relationship

Of me and my bigger bro, hear what I said?

Feels like the shit was wished on me

Everything I do for the nigga, and the nigga know

I would do anything for him, but the nigga refuse to quit

Just straight shittin' on me

Keepin' your distance? Probably best

If you don't wanna fuck with me

But you know me probably best, fuck pity, you want that?

You know it's Laila Ali's chest: tough titty

The problem's you got a problem, you think that I'm already set

So I'mma look down on you?

Just be proud of me, you already got my respect

I ain't tryin' to say something I'd regret

So I'mma just stop chasin' the pain

And let you deal with the fact that we don't get along

'Cause I got a big face in the game

Sometimes I feel like fuck my life

I fuck with a few niggas that I know

If my chick was a Shady ho

Niggas wouldn't think twice 'fore they fuck my wife

Guess that's the difference in friends and associates

I done been broke, I done been through the motions

I don't pay no attention to birds

I use my scope and I tend to the vultures

No one ever blows up your phone just to talk

I don't make money just to loan it to y'all

Tell a nigga that then you wildin' is like dialin'

And then talking to a hole in the wall

Please look at these expenses, these niggas expensive

If I gotta lend you money every time I see you

Just to be your friend, bitch, I don't really need your friendship

[Chorus: Claret Jai]

Is everything not enough?

What more can I give up?

Is there anyone that I can trust?

I give you my all and you still take from me

I give and I give and you take and you take

And you just walk away without nothing to say

You just take from me, ayy, ayy

You just take from me, ayy, ayy

[Verse 2: Eminem]

I live in a bubble, I struggle with the fame

Trouble is the pain grows double, give a fuck what you say

When my music you take so subtle, just to give it away

To people who don't even appreciate flows, motherfucker

I'm livid today, 'cause I break my back to give you my art

You steal my thoughts, it's like drivin' a spike through my heart

You might not think it's that big of a deal

To steal from me, but music's all I got

Aside from my daughters, not to sound like a martyr

But it's getting harder than I thought

To not just go crazy, trapped in this house

I'm about to just snap

Am I not deserving of what I got, did I not work for it?

Put it all in every record I record, well then

Please tell me why on this Earth, Lord's it keep happening?

I keep rappin', but I wonder sometimes, is it worth all the bullshit?

'Cause it feels like a down there ain’t no gettin' up from

But I won't let it get me down, I won't succumb

I'm anything but glum, so fuck 'em

They'll appreciate me when I'm gone, they'll say it was ill, right?

The way I killed mics? But the way I feel right now

It just feels like I'm so done with this shit that I may as well wipe

I have nothing else to give you, nothing left to contribute

Farewell, I bid you, but before I go, my last gift to you

Ladies and gentlemen, Slaughterhouse, I give you

[Chorus: Claret Jai]

Is everything not enough?

What more can I give up?

Is there anyone that I can trust?

I give you my all and you still take from me

I give and I give and you take and you take

And you just walk away without nothing to say

You just take from me, ayy, ayy

You just take from me, ayy, ayy
