I love this song to, but I wonder why he changed... "And all the pictures of me and Em, I burned em So it ain't no proof that I ever walked through 8 mile And since it ain't no proof, I never walked through 8 mile" to "And I ain't no preacher, but here's my Erick Sermon So eat this black music, and tell me how it taste, now? And fuck Jesse Jackson cause it ain't about race, now"
This is why. Controversy When the song first leaked, many believed The Game was "dissing" Eminem. However, later on his website, Game explained that this was not the case, and apologized to anyone who might have misunderstood what he had intended to say:[4] When I originally wrote the song "My Life" I was trying to think back on events that affected my life and how they changed me. When I first got signed to Aftermath and G-Unit I was exposed to so many different people from Dre to Em to 50 to Proof. I always identified with Proof. We were always cool and he would reach out to me when ever I was going through something. I remember when Proof died vividly and now every time I think about going to Detroit I get depressed. That is what I was trying to say in that verse and the more I looked at I realized that people would take it the wrong way…the way they are taking it now that it leaked. So I decided to change it so that this bullshit wouldn’t happen and now it’s happened anyway. For the record, this is not the version on my album, this is not the version that radio will get and this is not the version that I just shot the video to. Furthermore, I apologize to anyone who took this the wrong way as that was never my intention. The exact lines which many mistook as a diss were: You see them 24's spinning? I earned 'em And all the pictures of me and Em, I burned 'em So there ain't no proof that I ever walked through 8 Mile And since there ain't no Proof, I'll never walk through 8 Mile[5] Although, on the version used in the music video,[6] the lyrics have been changed to: You see them 24's spinnin'? I earned 'em And I ain't no preacher, but here's my Erick Sermon So eat this black music, and tell me how it taste, now And fuck Jesse Jackson cause it ain't about race, now From WIki
I find it stupid that he changed his lyrics where he had the name of his best friend who died (proof), for people who take it too seriously.
