Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars?

All right let's pretend Marshall Mathers never picked up a pen
Let's pretend things would have been no different
Pretend he procrastinated, had no motivation
Pretend he just made excuses that were so paper thin
They could blow away with the wind
Marshall you're never gonna make it Marshall
Makes no sense to play the game
There ain't no way that you'll win
Pretend he just stayed outside all day and played with his friends
Pretend he even had a friend to say was his friend
And it wasn't time to move and schools were changing again
He wasn't socially awkward and just strange as a kid
He had a father and his mother wasn't crazy as *****t
And he never dreamed he could rip stadiums and just lazy as *****t
**** a talent show in a gymnasium, *****
You won't amount to *****t, quit daydreaming kid
You need to get your cranium checked
You thinking like an alien it just ain't realistic
Now pretend they ain't just make him angry with this *****t
And there was no one he could even aim when he's pissed it
And his alarm went off to wake him off
But he didn't make it to the rap Olympics
Slept through his plane and he missed it
He's gon' have a hard time explaining to Hailey and Laney
These food stamps and this WIC *****t
'Cause he never risked *****t, he hoped and he wished it
But it didn't fall in his lap so he ain't even here
He pretends that...
