You're Never Over
Eminem Lyrics

The days are cold livin' without you
Life is empty and lonely without you

The nights are long, I'm growing older
Each night seems endless as time passes

I miss the days of old, thinkin' about you
I look back fondly on memories of you

You may be gone, but you're never over
Although you're not here, your memory will always live on

If Proof could see me now, I know he'd be proud
I feel confident that Proof would approve of my progress

Somewhere in me deep down, there's something in me he found
Proof discovered something special in me that I now carry within myself

That made him believe in me, now no one can beat me now
Proof's belief in me has given me the confidence to overcome any opponent

You try, it'll be them doors on Dre's Phantom, believe me, clowns
Anyone who tries to bring me down will face serious consequences

That means suicide, homie, you'll never throw me
Your attempts to harm me will only result in your own destruction

Off of this course, blow me
I won't be deterred from my path, no matter what obstacles come my way

Bitch, I do this all for the sport only
I pursue my passion for music out of love for the art form

But I want it all, I'm not just talking awards, homie
I strive for success beyond just accolades and recognition

And the balls in my court and it's lonely
Being the sole owner of my success can be a lonely burden

On top of the world when you're the only one with the balls in your shorts
I feel triumphant being the only one capable of achieving my goals

To leave their jaws on the floors with no remorse
I aim to impress and shock my audience with my talent

'Member that when they get to doggin' your boy, homie
Remember this when others criticize or belittle me

So y'all can just get to bloggin' about bologna
Let them write what they want; it won't affect me

I'm not gonna stop, the saga continues, no stoppin' the force, Obi
I'm unstoppable, and my journey is ongoing

I'm moppin' the floors with 'em, I keep tryna pass it
I dominate my competition and constantly aim to surpass them

But they keep on droppin' the torch and it won't be long 'til this sport is O-V-
Others can't keep up, and the music industry is on the verge of ending

E-R, Just Blaze and me, we are knockin' them doors and no we
Just Blaze and I are breaking through new barriers

Ain't pumpkins on Halloween but we'll show up on your porch, so be
We're not to be underestimated, so beware

Careful what you say, there ain't no punks over here, so follow me
Think twice before challenging us; we're strong and won't back down

Through the fog like I'm S-N-double-O-P, let me guide you through the smoke, G
I'll be your leader through tough times, like Snoop Dogg in his music

If only I wasn't travellin' down this road by my lonely
I wish I had your support on my journey

No one who knew me like you will ever know me
You understood me in a way no one else ever will

I don't think you understand how much you meant to me
Your impact on my life goes beyond what you'll ever know

And it don't stop, oh
Nothing can hold me back from pursuing my goals

And it don't quit, oh
I won't give up or back down

And I miss you, oh
I feel your absence deeply

I just miss you, oh
All I want is to be with you again

And, homie, I'll never forget you, no
Your memory will always be with me

For you, I wanna write the sickest rhyme of my life
I want to create something incredible in your honor

So sick it'll blow up the mic, it'll put the 'dyna' in 'mite'
My words will be explosive and awe-inspiring

Yeah, it'll make the dopest MC wanna jump off a bridge and shit his self
Even the most talented rappers will be intimidated by my skill

Tap dancin' all over the beat, it'll jump off the page and spit itself
My music will be powerful and dynamic, bringing itself to life

Guess it's the best thing I could do right now, Doody, for you is to rep
Representing you through my music is the best way I can honor you

So I'm gonna fuck 'til I die, yeah, I'ma do it to death
I'll put my all into my career, no matter how long it takes

And instead of mourning your death, I'd rather celebrate your life
I want to focus on joyous memories of you, rather than just feeling sadness

Elevate to new heights, step on the gas and accelerate, I'ma need two mics
I'm pushing myself to achieve excellence, and will need extra equipment to do so

'Cause the way that I'm feelin' tonight, everything I can just do right
I'm motivated and unstoppable, feeling capable of achieving anything

There's nothing that I can do wrong, I'm too strong and I'm just too hype
My confidence and energy are guiding me to success

Just finish the rhyme and bust it, excuse the corny metaphor
I'll complete my music and perform it, even if it feels cheesy or unoriginal

But they'll never catch up to all this energy that I've mustered
Others won't be able to keep up with my drive and determination

So God, just help me out while I fight through this grievin' process
I ask for strength and guidance as I work through my sadness and grief

Tryna process this loss is makin' me nauseous
Dealing with your death is causing me physical and emotional pain

But this depression ain't takin' me hostage
I won't let my sadness consume me and hold me back

I've been patiently watchin' this game, pacin' these hallways
I've been waiting for my chance and preparing for it

You had faith in me always
Your belief in me gave me the strength to keep going

Proof, you knew I'd come out of this slump, rise from these ashes
You always had confidence in me, even when I didn't in myself

Come right back on they asses, and go Mike Tyson on these bastards
I'll come back stronger than ever and dominate my competition

And I'ma show 'em, blow 'em out the water, slaughter 'em, homes
My talent will shock and defeat anyone who doubts me

I'ma own so many belts, only place they can hit me is below 'em
I'll be so successful that my competition won't even be able to reach my level

Homie, I know I'm never gonna be the same without you
Your absence will always be felt in my life

I never woulda came in this game, I'm going insane without you
Without you, I wouldn't have pursued music, and your loss is driving me to madness

Matter fact, it was just the other night had another dream about you
You're always on my mind, even appearing in my dreams

You told me to get up, I got up and spread my wings and I flew
You continue to inspire me and push me towards success

You gave me a reason to fight, I was on my way to see you
Your memory motivates me to keep working hard and achieving my goals

You told me, 'Nah, Doody, you're not', layin' on that table, I knew
Although you've passed away, I feel your support and guidance

I was gonna make it, soon as you said think of Hailie, I knew
Thinking of my daughter gave me the strength to keep going despite your absence

There wasn't no way that I was ever gonna leave them babies, and Proof
I'll always prioritize the people who matter most to me, including my daughter and you

Not many are lucky enough to have a guardian angel like you
I feel blessed to have had you in my life, even if it was cut short

Lord, I'm so thankful, please don't think I don't feel grateful, I do
I'm grateful for the time we had together and for everything you taught me

Just grant me the strength that I need for one more day to get through
I ask for the strength to keep going and carry on your legacy

So, homie, this is your song, I dedicate this to you
This song is for you, and a tribute to your life and memory

I love you, Doody
I love you, and I'll always remember you
