Story behind the song
My best friend left and didn't let anyone know, he got into doin crack and other drugs and just messed up his life, and sometimes I just recap on the times when we were younger just having fun everyday. Miss the times when we were best friends.
Lyrics
“How Come (Remix)”
Intro
So I changed huh? Well I know what I want to be. I’m just trying to remember who you were.
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 grape vine we even beefin' now
After all the years we been down
Ain't no way no how, this bullshit can't be true
We family aint a damn thing changed, unless it's you!
Verse 1 (Eminem)
We were so young, so full of life in vibrant side by side wherever you was riding 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
A 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 cant describe it
As much as your pride tries to hide it
Your cold, you touch its just like ice
In your eyes is the look of resentment
And 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 grape vine we even beefin' now
After all the years we been down
Ain't no way no how, this bullshit can't be true
We family aint a damn thing changed, unless it's you!
Verse 2
Don’t you remember days I’d come over to your house?
Up all night getting in fights until the other one walked out?
But it’s different now, hearing the sound of shade from the grey clouds.
Knowing you can’t be saved, all I can do is wave as you fade away.
You were my best friend ever since the begin, but then…’
You started a spark that would rip apart my heart.
I told you to stop, but you wouldn’t listen cause I wasn’t right
But look at you now, the old you is missing and the new you doesn’t have a life.
You stole my first love, I should have known it then.
Me and you wouldn’t be friends as we grow to men.
But then again, there’s a part of me that says give you a chance.
Our situation is sick so I sit, cause there’s only so much a person can stand.
Remember the play were you’d give me a fake, and then I’d tell the truth.
You’d take off and not look back,
But understand I don’t hate him, that player was true.
I hate the one that’s changing. And the one that’s changing 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 grape vine we even beefin' now
After all the years we 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
Tell me. Do you remember the day your grandma pasted away?
You came to my house to see time be delayed into waste.
Looking back on the time that I was on your bike and nearly broke my back.
But that same night we sat back couldn’t stop our laughs.
But time has passed and memories have faded away.
You’re addicted to crack cause you like a dick in your ass.
Everyone talks about you now cause you’re not around.
The secrets I found, you tried to hide, but your wall of lies came tumbling down.
Don’t you remember saying “oh I could quit, I’m not addicted.”
I just read the last chapter of this book cause your life just ended.
Sometimes I blame myself for not stepping up to your face.
But every time I’d say something you’d run away like it was a race.
(How come) I have to write you this song.
And (how come) you won’t admit that you were wrong.
And now I gotta live my life wondering were you’ve been.
