[Intro: Eminem]

So I changed, huh?

You got a phone

Pick it up, call me


[Chorus: 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 grapevine, we even beefin' now

After all the years we've been down, ain't no way, no how

This bullshit can't be true

We family, ain't a damn thing changed, unless it's you


[Verse 1: Eminem]

We were so young, so full of life and vibrance

Side by side, wherever you was ridin', I went

So close, almost on some Bonnie and Clyde shit

When Ronnie died, you was right by my side

With a shoulder to cry on and 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 wanna know why is it

That you succame to yours and mine, I survived it

You ran the streets, I nine-to-fived it

We grew up, grew apart as time went by us

Then I blew up, to both yours and mines surprises

Now I feel a vibe, I just can't describe it

Much as your pride tries to hide it

You're cold, your touch is just like ice, in your eyes

Is a look of resentment, I can sense it and I don't like it


[Chorus: 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 grapevine, we even beefin' now

After all the years we've been down, ain't no way, no how

This bullshit can't be true

We family, ain't a damn thing changed, unless it's you


[Verse 2: Kon Artis]

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

On my own album with a deal, but shit got worse

'Fore I came out, I woulda killed a nigga first

'Fore I let him disrespect me, or check me over some worrisome

Bitch that I wasn't with, I woulda hit it and quit

But you were plannin' to talk with her and tell her she was the shit

I told you don't get involved with her, you would smoke in the car with her

Comin' out of the bar with her, stumblin', half-drunk

Like y'all was husband and wife or sum'n

But me catchin' her fuckin' other niggas must've hurt your pride or sum'n

'Cause you woof off at the mouth to people like you want it 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 mans and lyin' like she can't be loose

But I am really your friend, I'm just tryna tell you the truth

Don't hate the game or the player, the one that's changin' is you


[Chorus: 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 grapevine, we even beefin' now

After all the years we've been down, ain't no way, no how

This bullshit can't be true

We family, ain't a damn thing changed, unless it's you

[Verse 3: Proof & Eminem]

It gets lonely 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 see me on the tube

So they gossip on the porch, get to speakin' all rude

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 part he was thrown

Shady made it so my babies ain't starvin' at home

See the devil in your glance, since the ghetto, we been friends

Forever real intelligence, that's forever 'til the end

I peep the hatreds in your eyes and the Satan in your lies

Ain't wastin' my time with these snakes in disguise

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

And how come it was my fault for what you did with your life?

And every time I go to hear you and play, you look away

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


[Chorus: 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 grapevine, we even beefin' now

After all the years we've been down, ain't no way, no how

This bullshit can't be true

We family, ain't a damn thing changed, unless it's you (You, you, you, you...)
