Leaving Heaven - Eminem ft. Skylar Grey

Yeah

(I knew this day was coming)

Sometimes

You gotta come back down (It's all going to hell now, man)

Stoop to someone's level

(Yeah)

Five dozen

Flies buzzin'

Over your head, call me the Grim Reaper, sleep is my cousin

You're dead

To me now and I'ma be the last face you see

'Fore you die cussin' (Yep)

My eye a tiger's and I'm a survivor so I will rise up and (What?)

Be triumphant 'cause when I'm looking at my legacy (Leg, I see)

Bunch of dogs gonna tryna dry hump it

Like Triumph The Puppet, so I'm like, "Fuck it"

Pile the carnage up 'til it's so high, it's touching the sky

Let 'em all line up and attack

Single filing up in the stack

Call 'em toy soldiers (Yeah)

'Cause they just wind up on their backs

Now the sky's nothing but black

But I am not coming back

I done told ya, I told the woke me to go to sleep

But still, they keep on provoking me

They're hoping to see me completely broken emotionally

But how in the fuck am I not supposed to be woke

When these fuckers just keep poking me? Now

I'm leaving Heaven

I'm leaving Heaven

Angels won't find me

Where I am going

I've been down, kicked

Like around six

Thousand

Times since

I was a kid

As a child, picked on, clowned, been

Countless times I've been outed

Gotta remind myself

Of it every now and then

So the route I went's

Self-empowerment

In a hole

Taught myself

How to get

Out of it

And balance it with talents, wit

'Cause life is like a penny (Life is like a penny)

'Cause it's only one percent

Who overcome the shit they've underwent

I went AWOL like what my back was up against

Don't tell me 'bout struggle, bitch, I lived it

I was five or six the first time

I got my hind end

Kicked, Malcolm, Isaac

And Boogie jumped me and took my tricycle

And I don't know if I would call that white privilege, yeah

But I get it

How it feels to be judged by pigment

Besides getting it from both sides of the tracks

But I swore I'd get them back

Even if it meant selling my soul to get my revenge and (What?)

Thought of a scheme and it got me to thinking

If I can believe in myself, I could prolly achieve it

That’s part of the reason I do all my talking with ink

And as long as I'm breathing, I vow to smother and beat them

My god, what a heart of a demon, go at 'em and I'ma get even

Like I'm in the Garden of Eden, I'm 'bout to go off of the deep end

This evil is calling, I'm already seething and

I'm leaving Heaven

I'm leaving Heaven

Angels won't find me

Where I am going

Okay, so while Macklemore was keeping his room nice and neat (Yeah)

I was getting my ass beat twice a week (What?)

Looking for a place for the night where I could sleep (Yeah)

Flippin' sofa cushions over just tryin' to see

If I could find some change and scrape up for a bite to eat

If Denaun and me find a couple dimes a piece

Twenty five cents each'd get us a bag of chips

We'd be glad to get that even we if we had to split

We'd do backward flips, looking back at it

I think that would fit with the definition of not having shit

Couple that with the fact my mother was batshit pop

Was a sack of shit, yeah, he died, but I gave half a shit

Yeah, which brings me back to the dear 'ol dad

That I zero had

Since a year-old, forty-seven year-old scab

Just to hear them words, ear piercing

Like my earlobe stabbed

With a needle for

An earring should I feel upset?

You were dead

To me 'fore you died me

Tear no shed

Should I have made a mural at your funeral?

Had your coffin draped

With a hero's flag?

Where the fuck you were at

When De'Angelo done hurt me real bad

At the Rio Grande?

Never met your grandkids

Fucking coward, only guts you had was from your stomach fat

I couldn't see your ass goin' to Heaven

So I'm asking for a pass to go to Hell

So I can whip your fucking ass

I hate that I'll never get to say "I hate you" to your face

No coming back from where I'm going

Sky is dark, my soul is black, hand on the shovel

Dig with the blade up, and then I step on the metal

Vendetta to settle, tell the Devil

I'm leaving Heaven (Yeah)

I'm leaving Heaven

Angels won't find me

Where I am going

I'm leaving heaven

I'm leaving heaven

Angels won't find me

Where I am going

('Cause I wouldn't have been me, haha)

So you better, you better run (Yeah)

You better, you better run

You better, you better run (Cocksucker)

You better, you better run (See you in Hell)
