Lyrics Typed By: HeathNi340 [Me]

[Eminem:] So I changed, huh?
You got a phone.
Pick it up.
Call ME.

How come we don't even talk no more?
And you don't even call no more?
We don't barely keep in touch at all.
And I don't even feel the same love when we hug no more.
And I heard it through the grape vine we've been beefin' now.
After all the years we've been down.
Ain't no way, no how this b******t can be true.
We family and ain't a damn thing changed.
Unless it's you.

So young, so full of life an' vibrant.
Side by side, wherever you was ridin' I went.
So close, almost on some Bonnie and Clyde s**t.
When Ronnie died you was right by my side with a sholder to cry on, tissue to wipe my eyes, and a bucket to catch every tear I cried inside it.
You even had the same type of childhood I did.
Sometimes I just want to know why is it that you surcame to yours and mine, I survived it; you ran the streets, I 9-to-5'd it.
We grew up, grew apart as time went by us.
Then I blew up, to both yours and mine surprises.
Now I feel the vibe, I just can't describe it.
As much as your pride tries to hide it, you're cold.
Your touch, it's like ice.
In your eyes is the look of resentment.
I can sense it, and I don't like it.

How come we don't even talk no more?
And you don't even call no more?
We don't barely keep in touch at all.
And I don't even feel the same love when we hug no more.
And I heard it through the grape vine we've been beefin' now.
After all the years we've been down.
Ain't no way, no how this b******t can be true.
We family and ain't a damn thing changed.
Unless it's you.

[Kon Artis:] It was my dream at first to be on spittin' a verse on my own album with a deal, but s**t got burst.
So I came out.
I woulda killed a n***a first before I let him disrespect me and check me over some worse.
Some b***h that I wasn't wit': I would hit her then quit.
But you would pull a talk with her and tell her she was the s**t.
I told you don't get involved wit' her.
You was sippin' the Chron with her, comin' out of the bar wit' her stumblin' half drunk like ya'll was husband and wife or somethin'.
But me catchin' you fuckin' other n*****s musta hurt you pride or some'mn cuz you won't f**k at the mouth with people like you wanted with me, when all I tried to do was show your b***h was shifty.
And ever since the fans and all the s**t that I produced, you actin' like I ain't your man and lyin' like she can't be loose.
But I am really your friend.
I'm jus' trying to tell you the truth.
But don't hate the game or the player cuz the one that is changin' is YOU!

[Eminem:] How come we don't even talk no more?
And you don't even call no more?
We don't barely keep in touch at all.
And I don't even feel the same love when we hug no more.
And I heard it through the grape vine we've been beefin' now.
After all the years we've been down.
Ain't no way, no how this b******t can be true.
We family and ain't a damn thing changed.
Unless it's you.

[Proof:] You're only at the top cuz my homie had to stop.
Now we actin' like I gotta live only for the block.
Homies in the hood, only she be on the tube.
Only gossip on the porch get to speakin' on who.
Fools I used to rap wit' all expect magic like my finger get to snappin' and *POOF* it jus' happened-but PROOF is jus' actin' out.
The party was stoned.
Shady made it so my babys ain't starvin' at home.
See the devil in you grin.
Since the ghetto we've been friends.
Forever real intelligence, that's forever 'till the end.
The hatred's in your eyes and the Satan in your lies and wastin' my times with these snakes in disguise.
[Eminem:] How come?!
[Proof:] When you talk it's with bitter despite.
[Eminem:] How come?!
[Proof:] It's my fault for what you did with your life.
And everytime I go to hear you and play you look away.
You barely embrace; you can't even look me in my face.

[Eminem:] How come we don't even talk no more?
And you don't even call no more?
We don't barely keep in touch at all.
And I don't even feel the same love when we hug no more.
And I heard it through the grape vine we've been beefin' now.
After all the years we've been down.
Ain't no way, no how this b******t can be true.
We family and ain't a damn thing changed.
Unless it's you.
