“People shouldn’t be afraid of failure, they should be afraid of success.â€
To say the least, life for the highly ambitious can be very complicated, bitter-sweet and full of irony. Say Goodbye to Hollywood, from the “Eminem Show†LP shows just how well Marshall understood this perspective.
I love my fans, but no one ever puts a grasp on the fact i’ve sacrificed everything I have. I never dreamt I’d get to the level that I’m at. This is whack, this is more than I ever could of asked. Everywhere I go, a hat, a sweater hood, or mask. What about math? How come I wasn’t ever good at that… Cause all I wanted was to give Hailie the life I never had, But instead I forced us to live alienated, so i’m sayin’ Goodbye Hollywood, please don’t cry for me, when I’m gone for good.â€
