[Intro]
Before you, I ain’t give a fuck if I woke up dead
Wrote suicide notes on coke-stained beds
Talkin’ to God like, “Bitch, you next,”
I was a hollow shell with a loaded TEC

[Verse 1 – Eminem]
I used to chase death like I chased fame
Snortin' lines off a stripper’s ass, forgot her name
Used to fuck raw just to feel somethin’ bleed
Sick thoughts in my brain like they grew from a seed

Popped pills just to kill the sound of my mind
Then I’d scream at the mirror like I wanted to die
I was fuckin’ everything up, I ain't proud of the wreckagе
Lyin’ to your mom, court dates and confessions

Every tour, I was highеr than the crowd I played
Eyes blacked out, on stage like a goddamn plague
No peace, just violence in a self-made cell
I was flirtin' with hell, and the bitch knew me well

[Chorus – Hailie Jade]
Before me, you were broken, lost inside your rage
Now you’re fightin’ through the darkness, tryna break that cage
All the blood and the lies, yeah, they stained your youth
But I see the man behind the mask — and I know the truth
Before me, you were gone… but I brought you home
Now you never fight alone…
[Verse 2 – Eminem]
Yeah, before you, I was bangin’ on death’s front door
Tellin' Satan, "Let me in, what the fuck you waitin’ for?"
Takin’ shots ‘til my liver screamed “fuck this life,”
Wake up in my own puke, hug a blade like a wife

I gave the world the finger, gave my fans the pain
Put my trauma in a verse, let it piss on fame
Used to wish I was nothin’ but a chalk outline
Now I live for the moment that I hear you say, “I’m fine.”

Still fucked in the head, but you keep me from fallin’
Still hear demons talkin’, but your voice keeps callin’
So I cuss less, fuck that — no I don’t — I’m still shady
But now I give a fuck, ‘cause someone calls me daddy

[Bridge – Hailie Jade]
All the pain you hide, I see behind your eyes
All the hell you braved just to stay alive
You were born in fire, raised by war
But love made you want something more

[Outro – Eminem]
You saved me from myself…
Before you, I didn’t wanna live
Now I'd kill the whole fuckin’ world to protect you
And that's on every rhyme I ever bled
