How Come

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

How come we dont even talk no more

And you dont even call no more

We dont barely keep in touch at all

And I dont even feel the same love when we hug no more

And I heard it through the grape vine we even beefin now

After all the years we been down

Aint no way no how, this bullshit can't be true

We family and aint a damn thing changed, unless it's you

[Eminem]

So young, so full of life in vibrant

Side by side wherever you was ridin' I went

So close, almost on some bonnie & clyde shit

When ronnie died you was right by my side with a shoulder 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 a vibe I just cant describe it

As much as your pride tries to hide it

Your cold, your touch it's just like ice

In your eyes is the look of resentment

I can sense it, and I dont like it

[Kon artis]

It was my dream at first to be on spittin' a verse

On my own album with a deal but shit got worse

So I came out, I woulda killed a nigga first

Before I let him disrespect me and check me over some worst.

Some bitch that I wasn't with, I would hit her then quit

But you would pull a talk with her and tell her she was the shit

I told you dont get involved in it, you was smokin the chron with her

Comin' out of the bar with her stumblin half drunk

Like y'all was husband and wife or somethin'

But me catchin' you fuckin' other niggers musta hurt your pride or somethin'

Cause you won't fuck at the mouth with people like you wanted with me

When all I tried to do was show you that your bitch was shifty

And ever since the fans and all the shit 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 just tryin' to tell you the truth

But dont hate the game or the player

Cause the one that's changing is you

[Proof]

You're only at the top cause my homie had to stop,

Now we actin' like I gotta live only for the block.

And 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 with all expect magic

Like my finger get to snappin' and *poof* it just happen.

But proof is just 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 been friends,

Whenever real intelligence thats forever till the end.

I peep the hatred in your eyes and the satan in your lives

And wastin' my times with these snakes in disguise.

(How come) when you talk it's with bitter and spite,

And (how come) it's my fault for what you did with your life

And everytime I go to hear you and play you look away.

We barely embrace, you can't even look me in my face.
