[Verse 1: Eminem]
'Cause all I do is yearn, a life without a concern
And dream of havin'✦ a turn to earn money✦ to burn
Mappin'✦ out my strategies to get rich, huh
My desire's like a scratch that needs to get itched,✦ huh
'Cause, man, I live in the D, this shit ain't given✦ for free
Nothin's different to me, so what else is there to see?
I'll be the prisoner to flee from all of this misery✦
I'm not wishin'✦ to be another fish in the sea
But just an MC, so listen✦ to me for this and agree
You're missin'✦ the key, you ain't even✦ in the vicinity
Unconditionally, my aspects to cash checks
My objects were never✦ to swab decks
It's up to you, the decision✦ is yours
If what you vision is tours or a mission-less course
When your shit is in the stores,✦ 'cause you can be a star
[Chorus: Eminem]
No matter✦ wherever✦ you are
You're never✦ too far from revving✦ a car
'Cause you can be king
You can rule the world, you can do anything✦
It's on you, baby,✦ 'cause you can be a star
No matter✦ wherever✦ you are
You're never✦ too far from revving✦ a car
'Cause you can be king
You can rule the world, you can do anything✦
It's on you, baby,✦ 'cause you can be a star
No matter✦ wherever✦ you are
You're never✦ too far from revving✦ a car
[Interlude: Eminem & Denaun]
You know what I'm sayin'? See what I'm talkin'✦ about,✦ man?
It's that simple (Yeah)
A million✦ dollars ain't even✦ that far away,✦ really✦
You know we got to get the money,✦ man
I can't be broke for the rest of my life, man
Yeah, I hear what you're sayin'
Look, there's✦ gotta✦ be somethin' better,✦ you know what I'm sayin'?
I can't live like this for the rest of my life, man
Bummin'✦ rides✦ everywhere I go
Yeah, what's up with Lexuses and Land Cruisers? (Ha-ha)✦
[Verse 2: Eminem]
Ayo, I'm not about✦ to chance it and dismiss handlin' business
I'm cancelin' Christmas to gamble and risk this
Financial interest is the matter✦ at hand
I got an adequate plan for a stab at a grand
I grab what I can and do what I must
Pursue what I lust, it's true that I just choose a few that I trust
Them's the people that I still got
Fuck with gangsta Philpot, get your grill shot
The 5 Ela✦ for life: my man Thyme
Proof, Kyu and Denaun, we move through in the nine
My crew's true and divine,✦ we never✦ fronted
We just wanted✦ to be funded,✦ and live to be a hundred
Instead of hunted✦ or bein' wanted✦ like fugitives
It's all about✦ a man plannin' what his future✦ is
What he can do for his, to be a star
[Chorus: Eminem]
No matter✦ wherever✦ you are
You're never✦ too far from revving✦ a car
'Cause you can be king
You can rule the world, you can do anything✦
It's on you, baby,✦ 'cause you can be a star
No matter✦ wherever✦ you are
You're never✦ too far from revving✦ a car
'Cause you can be king
You can rule the world, you can do anything✦
It's on you, baby,✦ 'cause you can be a star
No matter✦ wherever✦ you are
You're never✦ too far from revving✦ a car
[Outro: Eminem & Denaun]
That's what I'm talkin'✦ about✦
I'm not tryna✦ be the player, I'm tryna✦ be the mayor, haha✦
I want to be president,✦ yo man, forget✦ bein' president,✦ man
I'm tryna✦ be king, makin'✦ dead presidents
You know what I'm sayin'? (Yeah)
Gettin'✦ money✦ any✦ time I want, ownin'✦ my own businesses and all that
You know what I'm sayin'? Yeah, I'm tryna✦ be a millionaire, baby✦
Hahaha,✦ It's all on you though
You only✦ live once, '96, baby✦
