Dealing with backstabbers, there was one thing I learned. They&#039;re only powerful when you&#039;ve got your back turned.<br /> -Eminem <br /> You&#039;ve got enemies? Good. That means you actually stood up for something in your life.<br /> -Eminem

I thought my world would fall apart
He would leave us
Just like his brother
But he cried it out
Like a real man

Took a breath
Faced the truth
You can't walk away from your problems
So he stood his ground
Like a real man

He inspired me
Gave me faith
That life would go on
He wouldn't just go
He would stay
Like a real man
