Living Proof
Eminem & Royce Da 5’9" Lyrics

Yeah, Bad and Evil is (BACK)
The duo Bad and Evil is back.

We bout to get into a tail of gunner that details the dungeon
We are going to tell a story about a gunner and the dungeon he is in.

This is the pale moon illuminates the hail and thundering
The setting is dark and foreboding, as the moon shows light amidst a hailstorm.

Oh once again where I fail from blundering
I have failed once again from making mistakes.

Shady lifted his wing than I fell from under it
Eminem helped me, but I relied on him too much and now I feel lost.

Now I'm freefallin'
I am falling with no direction.

My career is gone and the weed callin'
My career is falling apart and I am turning to drugs to cope.

Regardless of who's fault I was b-ballin'
Even though it may have been my fault for my troubles, I was still trying to succeed.

God bubble wrapped me and dropped me on top of the Earth
The grace of God saved me and gave me a second chance in life.

Marshall double backed and got me from on top of the Hearse
Eminem gave me a second chance and saved me from death.

I'm alive nigga, Justin T ain't got nothing on me
I am alive and well, and not even Justin Timberlake can bring me down.

Cause I done cried Mary J Blige rivers
I have shed many tears and been through many struggles, like Mary J. Blige's emotional songs.

I realized that God's with us as soon as I decided to put that bottle down and pick up my tie bridges
I found faith in God once I stopped drinking and started to take responsibility for my life.

The writings on the wall since niggas seen me at the baseball game with Shady and Jay-Z
People started to take notice of me once they saw me hanging out with Eminem and Jay-Z at a baseball game.

Suddenly everybody calls, "Like I'm just checking on you dog"
Now that I am in the public eye, people are checking in on me more frequently.

While I throw up this message on the star
I am broadcasting this message to the world.

When them bottles stop poppin'
When the party and drinking stops.

And them dollars start stopping
When the money stops coming in.

Do what you did to get it and dont stop (dont stop)
Work hard and keep the hustle going.

I made a promise to my momma
I promised my mother.

I'mma out live her
I will live longer than my mother.

How can I be a quitter when haters dont stop (dont stop)
I can't give up when there are so many people trying to bring me down.

I'm living proof nigga
I am evidence that success is possible.

Its pretty safe to say
It's highly likely.

God giveth and God taketh away
God can give and take away blessings.

Its the Worldwide American way
This is how things are in America and around the world.

Your body language is sayin' your confidence is gone
Your body gestures show that you lack confidence.

Well pick ya ass up lil homie, come on
Get up and don't give up, young friend.

You just gone sit there and take it or make em suck it
Will you take the abuse or fight back?

Tell em where to shove it straight up (?)
Be honest and direct when standing up for yourself.

Fuck it,
Forget about it, let it go.

The last time the light kicked me in the ass
The last time I faced a difficult situation.

I pulled down it's pants and put a foot up its ass
I fought back and prevailed.

Man what a catastrophy it'd be for me to be a bitch ass pussy
It would be a disaster if I gave up and was weak.

And not open a can of whoop ass
And not fight back.

Did ya piss ass whoop me will be the day I say I aint poop
The day I give up is the day I admit defeat.

Shit, the day that I dont straight shoot
The day I am not honest and direct.

I'll drop out of my anti-women hate group
I will stop being hateful towards women.

Say I'm a sissy faggot, record it play it back and put it on straight loop
Insult me and I won't let it get to me.

You haters look like you ate a grape fruit
You look sour and unappealing.

You see me climbing back on that wagon
You see me getting back on track.

Got my swagga back I was dragging, hop back on it
I regained my confidence and got back on my grind.

Grab the reigns on that bastard and came back on em
I took control and conquered my obstacles.

Without remorse man
Without hesitation and without guilt.

Man of course I'm a one trick pony
Of course I have my specific talent and style.

Cause I'll be screaming on these horns till I'm hoarse!
I will continue to rap and focus on my craft until I lose my voice.

Nah I aint fading yet
I am not losing my relevance yet.

I'd rather stay and rap
I prefer to continue making music.

I mighta made a deck
I may have made a mistake.

I find excitement in wondering what I'ma write next
I am always looking for inspiration and curious about what to write next.

So I dont stay in debt
So I am not in financial debt.

Me broke
If I am poor.

You might aswell cut the embryo out my momma and play catch with the baby
I might as well not exist and my future is useless.

With AK's with baby bayonet's
With dangerous weapons.

I'ma get rich or I'mma die trying
I will continue to work hard until I am successful, even if it means risking my life.

Thats why its either kill or be killed
That's why I must be aggressive to succeed.

So call me suicide homocide Ryan
Call me whatever you want, I am not giving up.

Theres a bomb inside my head
I have many thoughts and ideas bursting to be expressed.

I'ma live wire, I am on the edge
I am high on energy and on the brink of exploding.

Teetering on it like I tore the iron mike
Balancing on it like a tightrope walker.

Get on a nut like a tyre iron
Get crazy and out of control.

I have no desire stopping so why would I drop and roll
I have no intention of stopping, so why would I quit?

Thats how much I'm flying higher (?)
That's how much I am soaring higher than everyone else.

Rappers are fun and I'm the time cause I'm just flying by 'em
I am surpassing other rappers quickly and effortlessly.

Man I'm laughing at 'em the entire time, why am I up?
I am laughing at the other rappers who can't keep up with me

Cause tribulations I have triumphed bitch I'm fired up
I have overcome struggles and it has fueled my passion.

So it's time for me to slit your fucking lighter, light the sky up
It's time for me to take you down and make my mark in the world.
