25 To Life
Eminem Ft. Namolla Family Lyrics

Too late for the other side
It's too late to fix whatever went wrong in our relationship.

Caught in a chase, twenty-five to life
We're trapped in this relationship and it feels like a life sentence.

(Yeah) too late
It's too late to try to fix this relationship.

(I can't keep chasing you)
I can't keep trying to make things work when it's not worth it anymore.

(I'm taking my life back)
I'm taking control of my life and leaving this toxic relationship.

I don't think she understands the sacrifices that I've made
She doesn't appreciate everything I've done for her.

Maybe if this bitch had acted right, I would've stayed
If she had treated me better, I might have stayed in the relationship.

But I've already wasted over half my life, I would've laid
I've invested too much time in this relationship already and can't waste any more of my life on it.

Down and died for you, I no longer cry for you, no more pain
I was willing to do anything for you, but now I'm done with the pain and heartache.

Bitch, you took me for granted
You didn't appreciate me and everything I did for you.

Took my heart and ran it straight into the planet
You crushed my heart and soul with your actions.

Into the dirt, I can no longer stand it
You've brought me down so low that I can't take it anymore.

Now my respect, I demand it
I'm not going to let you treat me poorly anymore, I want respect.

I'ma take control of this relationship, command it
I'm going to take charge of this relationship for once.

And I'ma be the boss of you now, goddamn it
I'm not going to let you control me anymore.

And what I mean is that I will no longer let you control me
I won't let you have power over me anymore.

So you better hear me out, this much you owe me
You owe me at least the respect of listening to what I have to say.

I gave up my life for you, totally devoted to you, I have stayed
I sacrificed everything for you and was completely devoted, but it was all for nothing.

Faithful all the way, this is how I fuckin' get repaid?
Even though I was faithful and devoted, you still treated me poorly.

Look at how I dress, fuckin' baggy sweats, go to work a mess
I've let myself go because I don't care anymore.

Always in a rush to get back to you, I ain't heard you yet
I always put you first, but you never appreciate it or listen to me.

Not even once say you appreciate me, I deserve respect
You never acknowledge or appreciate what I do for you, and I deserve respect for all my efforts.

I've done my best to give you nothin' less than perfectness
I tried to give you everything I had and do everything perfectly, but it was all for nothing.

And I know that if I end this, I'll no longer have nothin' left
If I leave this relationship, I'll have nothing left because I've given everything to you.

But you keep treatin' me like a staircase, it's time to fuckin' step
You keep using me and stepping on me, but I'm done with it.

And I won't be comin' back, so don't hold your fuckin' breath
I'm leaving for good and won't be coming back.

You know what you've done, no need to go in-depth
You know exactly what you did wrong, so there's no need for me to explain it.

I told you you'd be sorry if I fuckin' left, I'd laugh while you wept
I warned you that you'd regret losing me, and I'll be laughing while you cry.

How's it feel now? Yeah, funny, ain't it? You neglected me
Now that I'm leaving, it's funny how neglected and mistreated I feel.

Did me a favor though, my spirit free, you've set
In a way, you did me a favor by setting me free from this toxic relationship.

But a special place for you in my heart, I have kept
Even though you hurt me, I still have a special place for you in my heart.

It's unfortunate, but it's
It's a shame, but it is what it is.

Too late for the other side (yeah)
It's too late to fix this relationship.

(Can't take no more)
I can't handle this relationship anymore.

I feel like when I bend over backwards for you (too late)
Even though I tried so hard for you, it was all for nothing.

All you do is laugh 'cause that ain't good enough
You never appreciate anything I do for you and only laugh at my efforts.

You expect me to fold myself in half 'til I snap
You expect too much from me and I can't handle it anymore.

Don't think I'm loyal, all I do is rap
You don't think I'm loyal because I'm a rapper and it takes up a lot of my time.

How can I moonlight on the side? I have no life outside of that
I have no life outside of music, so I can't do anything else on the side.

Don't I give you enough of my time? You don't think so, do you?
I already give you all of my time, but it's still not enough for you.

Jealous when I spend time with the girls, why I'm married to you still?
You get jealous when I spend time with other people, but why am I still married to you?

Man, I don't know, but tonight I'm serving you with papers
I don't know why I'm still with you, but tonight I'm serving you divorce papers.

I'm divorcing you, go marry someone else and make 'em famous
I'm divorcing you and hope you go marry someone else who can make you famous like I did.

And take away their freedom like you did to me
I hope you take away their freedom like you did mine.

Treat 'em like you don't need 'em and they ain't worthy of you
I hope you treat your new partner poorly like you did me.

Feed 'em the same shit that you made me eat, I'm moving on, forget you
I hope you feed your new partner the same bullshit you fed me, but I'm moving on and forgetting you.

Oh, now I'm special? I ain't feel special when I was with you
Now that I'm leaving, you suddenly see how special I am, but I didn't feel special when I was with you.

All I ever felt was this helplessness
I always felt helpless in our relationship.

Imprisoned by a selfish bitch, chew me up and spit me out
I felt imprisoned by you, a selfish person who took advantage of me.

I fell for this so many times, it's ridiculous
I fell for your tricks countless times, and it's ridiculous.

And still I stick with this, I'm sick of this
I stayed with you way too long, and I'm sick of it.

But in my sickness and addiction, you're addictive as they get
Even though I'm addicted to you, you're toxic and addictive.

Evil as they come, vindictive as they make 'em
You're one of the most evil and vindictive people out there.

My friends keep askin' me why I can't just walk away from
My friends keep asking me why I can't just leave you alone.

I'm addicted to the pain, the stress, the drama, I'm drawn to
I'm addicted to the drama and pain in our relationship, and it's hard to walk away.

Shit, I guess I'm a mess, cursed and blessed, but this time I
I'm a mess, but I have both good and bad qualities, and this time I'm leaving for good.

Ain't changin' my mind, I'm climbin' out this abyss
I'm not changing my mind, I'm leaving this dark and painful hole I'm in.

You're screamin' as I walk out that I'll be missed
As I'm leaving, you're screaming that you'll miss me.

But when you spoke of people who meant the most to you
When you talked about the people who meant the most to you, I wasn't one of them.

You left me off your list
You didn't even consider me to be one of the most important people in your life.

Fuck you, hip hop, I'm leavin' you
I'm even leaving the thing I love most, music, because I need to get away from this toxic relationship.

My life sentence is served, bitch
I've served my time in this relationship and I'm finally out of it.

And it's just (I'm gone, man)
I'm out of this relationship, and that's all there is to it.
