    Take me to the river

    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

    It's 2002, everything was totally new

    We were globally huge, watchin' sales go through the roof

    We wrote and we feuded, Runyon Avenue soldiers included

    A multitude of homies who would bounce for no good excuse

    We were so bulletproof—wrote, souped and soaked in our youth

    Thought we was runnin' shit 'til we lost the sole of our shoe

    The death of Doody broke us in two

    We were thrown for a loop, ain't none of us know what to do

    And at the time I was goin' through my own struggles too

    So I wasn't in no condition to be coachin' us through

    Everyone tried to go solo, really nobody blew

    I was hopin' they do, so I ain't have to shoulder the crew

    The plan was put everyone in position so that they knew

    How to stand on their own, and I don't wanna open up wounds

    I just noticed that oomph was gone when we go in the booth

    'Cause the truth is, the moment that Proof died, so did the group

    Shoot!

    If I could leave this all behind

    I could open up my eyes and walk in a straight line

    Down to the river with you

    Help me leave this all behind

    I'ma wash away my sins

    I'ma rinse away this dirt

    I forgot to make amends

    To all the friends I may have hurt

    I better stop and say my grace

    From it I pray that I don't fall

    'Cause on the way back down I may

    End up runnin' back into them all

    I never meant to use you all as my stepping stones

    It was never the same, and it's bothered me since

    And the farther we drift apart, the more awkward it gets

    The more time goes by, the more life happens

    And we gotta be men, we got responsibilities

    Plus we don't say how we feel

    And I feel like this is what got us in the debacle we're in

    Been with you guys thick and thin

    But it's almost as if sometimes we're not even friends

    Which reminded me, Biz, \"Rockstar\" was the shit

    Y'all coulda got you a hit without me on the shit

    If you woulda put D12 on it, wish I coulda did

    More than try talkin' you into comin' up off of it

    I know it wasn't my fault, but part of it probably is

    I think of all of the trips to BET

    And the rappers I wish that we woulda politicked with

    Maybe y'all coulda clicked and got you some features

    But that's water under the bridge

    But I'm washin' my sins in it 'til my conscience is cleansed

    If I could leave this all behind

    I could open up my eyes and walk in a straight line

    Down to the river with you

    Help me leave this all behind

    I'ma wash away my sins

    I'ma rinse away this dirt

    I forgot to make amends

    To all the friends I may have hurt

    I better stop and say my grace

    From it I pray that I don't fall

    'Cause on the way back down I may

    End up runnin' back into them all

    I never meant to use you all as my stepping stones

    Bacardi and Hen', never thought the party would end

    One minute you're bodyin' shit, but then your audience splits

    You can already sense the climate is startin' to shift

    To these kids you no longer exist

    Went from rainin' cats and dogs in this bitch

    To tiny drops, little drips

    And by the time your reign is over, you'll hardly be missed

    You start thinkin' of all the artists you dissed

    All the carnage you left, is this the kind of karma you get

    For turnin' your ****in' back on Bizzy, Kuniva and Swift?

    A Freudian slip, subconsciously, I honestly wished

    I ain't feel so much guilt and y'all didn't harbor resentment

    But it's hard to pretend that y'all ain't got none

    I just wish I had words, but I guess there just are none for this

    To my partners, I can't say how sorry I am

    This is not how I planned for our story to end

    I love all of you men

    But I just can't be the guy everybody depends

    On for entire careers 'cause that's not even fair

    I will always be here, but that spark isn't there

    And I don't know how to recapture that time and that era

    I've tried hearkening back to, but I'm fightin' for air

    I'm barely chartin' myself

    Feels like I'm on the descent, but it was not my intent

    To treat y'all like a stepping stone

    Though I ain't left no one behind, but we been down every road

    Done all we possibly can, I know we kept our hopes up

    But the longer we spend livin' this lie that we live

    The less is left for closure, so let's let this go

    It's not goodbye to our friendship, but D12 is over

    I'ma wash away my sins

    I'ma rinse away this dirt

    I forgot to make amends

    To all the friends I may have hurt

    I better stop and say my grace

    From it I pray that I don't fall

    'Cause on the way back down I may

    End up runnin' back into them all

    I never meant to use you all as my stepping stones

    I never meant to make you feel like my stepping stones

    I never meant to use you all for my stepping stones

    Take me to the river

    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

    [Pre-Chorus: Eminem, Mario Resto & Both]

    If I could leave this all behind

    I could open up my eyes and walk in a straight line

    Down to the river with you

    Help me leave this all behind

    [Chorus: Eminem]

    I'ma wash away my sins

    I'ma rinse away this dirt
