[Eminem]
so i changed huh? You got a phone pick it up call me.
How Come.. we dont even talk no more
And you dont even call no more
We dont barely keep in touch at all
and I dont 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 been down.. aint no way no how
This bullshit cant be true
We Family.. aint a damn thing changed.. unless its you!
We were so young
So full of life and vibrance
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 and tissue to wipe my eyes
and a bucket to catch ever 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 succaim to yours
and mine I survived it. You ran the streets, I 9 to 5ed it
we grew up, grew apart as time went by us..
and I blew up to both yours and mines surprises.
Now I feel a vibe I just cant describe it
much as your pride tries to hide it. you're cold
your touch is just like ice.
And your eyes is a look of resentment.
I can sense it and I dont like it.
How Come.. we dont even talk no more
And you dont 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 been down.. aint no way no how
This bullshit cant be true
We Family.. aint a damn thing changed.. unless its you!

It was my dream at first to be off spitting a verse
on my own album with a deal but shit got worse
fore I came out I woulda killed a nigga first
for I let him disrespect me, or check me over some
worthless bitch that I wasnt with
I woulda hit it and quit
but you were fitting to talk with her and tell her she was the shit
I told you dont get involved with her
you would smoke in the car with her
coming outta the bar with her
stumbling half drunk
like you were husband and wife or somethin
but me catching her fuckin other niggas musta hurt your pride or something
cause you were openin your mouth to people like you wanted with me.
when all I tried to do was show that your bitch was shifty.
And every sister, fares and all the shit that I produced
you acting like I aint your man and lying like she cant be loose.
But I am really your friend, I'm just trying to tell ya the truth.
Dont hate the game or the player
the one thats changing is you.

[Proof]
Its gets lonely at the top cause my homie had to stop
now we acting 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 ta speaking all rude. fools I used to rap wit all expect magic
like my finger get to snappin
and poof it just happen.
But proof is just acting out the part he was thrown,
shady made it so my babies aint starving at home.
See the devil in your glance,
since the ghetto we been friends, forever real intellegence,
thats forever till the end.
I peep the hatred in your eyes, and the satan in your lies,
aint wasting my time with these snakes in disguise.
(HOW COME) When you talk it's with bitter and spite?
(AND HOW COME) It's my fault for what you did with your life?
And everytime I go to hear you play, you look away,
we barely embrace, you cant even look me in my face.

anyway back to this D12 - How Come track.. its not just about Royce its also bout Kim there all just spitting and discussing.. and in the video Proof was supposed to be playing Royce is some parts which i thought was fuckin stupid.. there just all discussing differant shit but ya when D12 blew up he was shady but they did confront royce and asked them to spit with him when they were searchin for 12 sick rappers but he turned that shit down and they talked to his ass again when Bugz from d12 died and he still turned it down.. so naturally when he turns his TV on and realizes he could of been there he gets pissed

vocal I like this song! Eminem and proof rap very well. I agree, Bizarre is a newb and I live in Montreal, I'm french and I rap better than him. Usher is really gay! He has the same ugly voice of R Kelly and B2K. 50 Cent is not very bad but G-Unit are really newb. I really hate Young Buck.

vocal how'd u know the songs about royce? which member in the group said it was about him? poeple just started sayin it was about him, then other people took it like that.
IMO, eminem's verse is about proof
kon's is about em
and proof's is about the rest of the group.
great song tho. killer beats. you should here the extended version of it.

vocal The reason why u haven't heard from Royce for a while is cos he has realised he was stupid to go comercial when eminem executively produced his album (Rock City) and has publicly apologised to his fans for going 'pop', u haven't heard from him because he is trying to get back to his underground roots, doing it by himself as you would see if u bought his new album Death is certain. Check the method!
Yo Yo...my man Mr Rocafella. Welcome to the forum.
Im sure you'll agree with me that Ems verse IS about Royce. and not proof.
It makes perfect sense if u listen to it...
They grew up together...now they dont talk.
Why the hell would it be proof?
'we grew up, grew apart as time went by us, then i blew up to both yours and mine suprises.
now i feel a vibe i just cant describe it, as much as your pride trys to hide it'.
Oh Indeed Kanye. How Come seems to be quite a serious song which is why it can't be all the members of d12 rapping and to a certain extent dissing each other. However this is possible on a song like My Band which is just a comedy song and allows them to fool about with each other. . . . think before you post things, why would they be dissing each other on thier own album?
wait... no offence
im listenin 2 it now, n its kinda more serious
than my band, cuz u can tell my band,
is them messin around,
but this sounds like summet they would on other
mcs.
like kanye_101 said em rappin about royce,
just listen/look at the lyricz they sound 2 serious
2 b messin around.

vocal i agree with you guys, this song is very powerful, however, i do feel that this was one of those serious songs, almost like the track "girls" from Devil's Night. whoever they may be talking about though is debatable. but, to add some substance to the "royce the 5" rumor/truth going around, eminem did do ao track with him back on the Slim Shady LP, "Bad Versus Evil", so obviously they were cool at one point.
I reckon Proof is easily the best in this song - he has an awesome rythm and I'd say he's as good as if not better than Eminem in this instance. It's Proof's section that gets you into this song
i like ems verse, kon artists verse n proofs verse they're all gr8. this song fukin rulez!
itz 1 of da songz on the album along wi
40 oz
Git up
Loyalty
Get my gun
Bugz 97
Leave dat boy alone
Good Die Young..... n so on
blah blah blah im gettin borin so ill shut up
wat im sayin is this song is gr8 n rest of the album.

vocal The song is hot no doubt about that. As for D12 Proof and Kon Artis are pretty lyrical, Swift and Bizarre definatly need some work. I know they dont say nothing about Royce in the track but its pretty much assumed. They were boys and now Slim is big and Royce is strugglin so of course hes gonna be jealous. But Royce does have some pretty good tracks out like Hip Hop. He just hasn't had the push that he needs to get out there. The video of this song is off the chain too.

vocal [b]This song sooo fricken rocks!! I love it and I cant get enough of it. I understand it more now that i know what itis exactly about but i just love it anyway. And D12s Album rocks but i mainly like the songs with EMINEM in them and Proof and Kon Artis r my fave from D12
