I didn't know Skylar wrote this song... I didn't even know who Skylar was until today... I think this is the version that should have been released... Although Rhianna did the song justice, this version is stripped down and raw... The vocals and slowed tempo paint a melancholic scene, you can hear the heartbreak in her voice...
Skylar Grey originally wrote this song based on her own thoughts at the moment she was at her lowest... you can feel the emotions in her lyrics. Then Eminem's verse really adds the final touches to a beautiful song.
Skylar wrote the song. She did what Gaga did for years and wrote songs for other people. But finally realised that she's better than most out there and decided to use her songs for her and not some paper pop star. Writing for someone else might lead to a quick buck, but as an artist it's probably soul-killing.
I prefer this to anything, I love how quiet her voice is and so incredibly powerful, while Eminem has the louder and just as powerful voice. They are a good choice together for this song, because Eminem doesn't overtake her in this song. Beautiful :)
This is flat out one of the most honest songs about a lot of relationships people are going through these days. The fear of being alone and not having someone to be there for you and make you feel normal in a crazy situation... It's a scary and dark place to be in and anyone who is going through or has been through something like this can relate to these words. But at the end of the day we are all better off alone to learn and grow, then to forgive and excuse certain behaviors or actions. This is a great version I dig it.
This is her song. Hers. And hers alone. Eminem has a heart. But like most, keeps it closed. Quite obviously he heard her hook and made it his own. Skyler creates a lovely narrative, Em just makes it too real. Because it is like that, in the real world. Heartache. That's where we are. 4life.
@@jamesmccloud1002 At Eminems concert in 2019, he bought Skylar and she performed part one with him!!! I think they're still friends. she has an amazing voice and Eminem made it a great song.
I saw Skylar in a coffee shop in Portland when she was still Holly Brook. Maybe a dozen people there at most. She was absolutely AMAZING. My g/f and I talked to her for quite a while after her performance and she was as nice as she was an awesome performer.
Tiffany Short you are so backwards. Nobody knew who Skylar Gray even was when the first version of this song came out. Eminem owns both versions therefore giving him the right to use a different vocalist for the same and/or similar lyrics. she may own the verses. not sure. but the hook is owned by Eminem.
@@mremokaos2012 You're funny, but so wrong. You say "nobody" knew her prior to LTWYL, but yet if you actually knew your shit, you would see that she created the alias "Skylar Grey" name in 2006 and releasing her debut album Like Blood Like Honey (Warner Bros), which was a fairly successful album. In 2004 under her real name Holly Brook, she signed her first record deal with Machine Shop Recordings. Very few knew of her, but non the less her following grew quickly. She just was not into the mainstream scene at this point and only wanted to record music as an art and to reflect on. As for Skylar Grey owning the rights, Tiffany is correct, but it was composed by Alex Da Kid (Alex Grant) in 2009. Neither Eminem or Rhianna own and rights to LTWYL. Might want to do some studying before you go trying to make someone look bad, because in this instance, you did that to yourself broski...
Skylar wrote the song for Rihanna to preform. No one stole anything. This isn't part two of anything. This is Skylar singing her own song which Rhianna preformed.
I don't get why people are telling me it's Eminem and Skylar. I clearly know that. I said that these two are better for this song than Rihanna and Eminem were.
Skylar vs. Ri Ri is like soul vs. pop music ... much deeper and more emotional from Skylar, her voice is really unique and with that just something else.
I fucking love this version....The piano has to be my favorite instrument and it doesn't lie like most musicians nowadays. By the way im a big metal fan. Not that it matters I just like Wholesome music not this electronic shit kids like.
i love metal too. and wholesome music other than rock really touches my heart on so many levels. Esp like this, And your right, pianos don't lie. Never. listen to yiruma - river flows in you
Skylar's voice is like an angel and it's made for this song. Even her live performances of this song are on point. Honestly, when Rihanna sings this live it sounds forced and like she gargled with glass.
Ellie Chappell "Love The Way You Lie" is a song recorded by the American rapper Eminem with the Barbadian singer Rihanna, from Eminem's seventh studio album Recovery (2010). The singer-songwriter Skylar Grey wrote and recorded the demo alongside the producerAlex da Kid when she felt she was in an abusive romantic relationship with the music industry. Eminem wrote the verses and chose Rihanna to sing the chorus; their past experiences in difficult relationships influenced the collaboration. Recording sessions were held in Ferndale, Michigan, and Dublin, Ireland. Backed by guitar, piano and violin, the track is a midtempo hip hop ballad with a poprefrain and describes two lovers who refuse to separate despite being in a dangerous love-hate relationship.
Skylar is criminally underrated. Better than the half of popular female singers today, specifically Rihanna and Taylor Swift. But she's getting the credit she deserves.
I love this comment section because in this one everyone knows that this is skylars song. Personally I like skylars version better, but that's just me. I know in other comment sections of this song, people are like "Rihanna made this song! Skylar you suck" Even though Skylar wrote it and deserves props for it. Her voice is more fragile, and displays the message better. But both versions are good, and everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
Skylar's version doesn't come close to Rihanna. She wrote it and she sang it. She runs circles around her. If Skylar came out with this song before Rihanna sang it, who'd be more popular? Wouldn't be Rihanna.
I agree as well. Skylar is a great composer and singer. Just like Sia, who has written many songs for rihanna. but they like behind the scenes better. Makes sense. Sia and Skylar need to collaborate together and make a song of the century.

This version is interesting because it seems like a middle bridge between Skylar Grey's early work as "Holly Brook" (actually really good shit) and her newer, poppier stuff.
josh,get on the fucking train and get here now!itts halloween and people wear masks but im showing my face because because where is julie i need to know she is not upsset and you gotta know i am angry.and i need to protect the girls and as a man we know what it means because i leave this here 300 born me reside again
Rhianna kann singen, so gut se will... Ich finds schön, dass Skylar das Lied auch gemacht hat. So bekomme ich noch ne Version auf die Ohren, die nicht nervt. Aber geschmackssache :)
Well,I like Both.Life is Rage for Such a Song&Video. This is Soft & Frame Of Stils. Beautiful Voice Skylar has. Ayslum,I did not relate it was a Female's Name. SKY > U can Imagine anything. But,I like this SWEET Version.Lovely Tune Ms.Grey & Lyrics Too !
Rihanna just makes this song sound so violent. This is alot more gentle and more of a meaningful version. This was my mom and dad's song because of their relationship, so I've known it since childhood. About to turn 16 it still is the most meaningfull song I've ever heard
Em's story is so damn amazing. I can't think of an artist that can compare to his "come up". For people like me, who really did "throw on his rap record, and sit we'd vibe cause he is the shit in our eyes"... (true fans know), he meant so much to us. To us people who know what struggle means. He turned his rage and pain into his strength. Completely inspiring. To those who struggled and fought hard to survive - I raise a glass to you! Eminem the one and only "Rap God"!!!! I make music. stop by if you want..... but don't for a moment think I'm a phony or that I don't really honor the GREATS. They're the best and Im just a humble student of their art trying to make waves. Peace my friends!
if time was a traveler, i would be on that bus to come back to you. if time was hope, i would write every poet's words to see you again. if time was a tear, let me be that warmth. if time was with me, i would be with you.
After the end of a 5 year relationship rife with infidelity and lies, I heard this song and realized that I must have been some sort of gluttonous masochist to stay for as long as I did. It was not a pretty face looking back at me in the mirror after that realization.
actually in her attempt to gain Alex the Kid's attention to work with him, Skylar sent him 'love the way you lie', fresh from writing it while in seclusion in the mountains, with no idea what was about to happen. Alex, a music producer, saw the gold in the song, and quickly forwarded it to eminem and rihanna, and a month later, with barely time to catch her breath, Skylar found the song she wrote at a #1 spot in the charts. she just sat back on rode the roller coaster to fame.
this is honestly my favorite song I've heard n I heard it right when I was going through a rough time with love n Eminem's part helped me get through it
On our way to glory Trials and tribulations make HIStory Dont quit no giving up on Victory The hardships seen from the starships are gory But tomorrow will follow Yesterday's truth hard to swallow In the reflection a role model Theres no such thing as a towel The truth to the dare We dont have time to spare We are all diamonds in the sky rare When fire sparked the fire the universal flare Make it here in the city of dreams and take it everywhere We rarely barely sleep, sleep walking chasing dreams anywhere, Talk is cheap, no time for counting sheep from where we stare , Humanity as one a dream we all shall overcome at a glare, Are we in too deep with the reality distracted in despair, Sealed with all my luv heart and a drop of sol with care, These are the words that come to mind I felt to share, Everyday I'm blessed awoken with a token to breath air I am aware,
The only reason Rihanna sang this song is because Skylar wasn't confident in herself singing it and she asked Rihanna to sing for it as the song has a deeper meaning to Ri Ri
+TheFlipize wrong there, I Need a Doctor got crazy hits and in my point I agree they used Rihanna instead of Skyler cause of what was going on with Chris, it made more sense to have her sing it with Eminem since he went through a similar situation, but I liked Skyler Greys Voice better, I would skipp Rihannas part to Ems
I didn't know Skylar wrote this song... I didn't even know who Skylar was until today... I think this is the version that should have been released... Although Rhianna did the song justice, this version is stripped down and raw... The vocals and slowed tempo paint a melancholic scene, you can hear the heartbreak in her voice...
Maybe, but it doesn't make sense to put a song on an artist's album when he only has a single verse in it. This would go on Skylar Grey's album.
Derick Barber same
Look up Holly Brook. Same girl before she became Skylar Grey. I love her Holly Brook related albums
She also went by Holly Brook years ago did a song with Mike shinoda (fort minor) where'd you go?
You can’t take things for granted
Skylar's version is so serene and soulful.
Shubham Shrivastava yes.soulful.its true
Shubham Shrivastava kool
Yesss,love this version!
I've always hated skylar grey she just reminds you of the girl of your dreams that always eventually leaves you for something else.
She wrote this
Skylar Grey originally wrote this song based on her own thoughts at the moment she was at her lowest... you can feel the emotions in her lyrics. Then Eminem's verse really adds the final touches to a beautiful song.
Skylar Grey is the one who wrote the song for Rihanna so she can't be blamed! This song is freaking amazing so congrats to Skylar!
Skylar wrote the song. She did what Gaga did for years and wrote songs for other people. But finally realised that she's better than most out there and decided to use her songs for her and not some paper pop star.

If you are sad( a bit),you should listen this version with Skylar. If you are angry,you should listen the version with Rihanna.
+irena gjorgjievska i agree with you this is the main reason why i am listening to skylar version
+irena gjorgjievska Perfect
+irena gjorgjievska i agree!!
What if you're both?
+NBA Mix listen to rihanna's verison then skylar's second verse verison

You seem experienced with this :)
She wrote this song and she sings it more beautiful than anyone..
im actually amazed at how many songs/hooks this girl has wrote for top stars and not been really given the credit she deserves
This is her song. Hers. And hers alone. Eminem has a heart. But like most, keeps it closed. Quite obviously he heard her hook and made it his own. Skyler creates a lovely narrative, Em just makes it too real. Because it is like that, in the real world. Heartache. That's where we are. 4life.
Its Definitely cos because she's a female
@@402autumn Skylar and Em were pretty close back then. Skylar wrote the song for Eminem, he didn't just steal the song.
@@jamesmccloud1002 At Eminems concert in 2019, he bought Skylar and she performed part one with him!!! I think they're still friends. she has an amazing voice and Eminem made it a great song.
Skylar so much better than Rihanna... Ri Ri is a pop singer, Skylar sings it from the heart.
+Fudgy is fun you cited "so much better" kkkk
skylar was actually the one that wrote the song too probably why she sings it from the heart
Chuck Kesner Exactly
+Fudgy
That because Skylar wrote the song but I don't compare because I like both
i like both too but i always will think skylar's best :)
rihanna's version makes you think of she's just killed someone in the alley
; skylar's version is when your mood feel a little sensitive.
Haha
I saw Skylar in a coffee shop in Portland when she was still Holly Brook. Maybe a dozen people there at most. She was absolutely AMAZING. My g/f and I talked to her for quite a while after her performance and she was as nice as she was an awesome performer.
I always get goosebumps when Eminem starts singing. Amazing.
right!
Rapping*
💯💯
Deceivingly Charming em doesnt sing he raps
Goosebumps? I get a hard on and dont even have a penis.
She brings a different feeling to this song, deeper sense of hurt from a woman's perspective.

JJ TechAndGames Yes, I know who they are.
it is Eminem and Skylar
I don't get why people are telling me it's Eminem and Skylar. I clearly know that. I said that these two are better for this song than Rihanna and Eminem were.
The only rapper who deserves to rap along such a beautiful melody is Eminem. No other rappers can give goosebumps like he does.
Alistair Stormbreaker Mgk and her yes
mgk hahaha no really
Haha mgk STILL cracks me up. Hed be like "Yo, you touched my tattoo when we fueded I want to fuck you when you do it " XD
try "Witt Lowry" then. he sounds a lot like eminem and his texts are deep...
+tjgoodspeed Eminem ripoff he sucks hell even Wayne>nf

Skylar is the one that wrote this song. She gave it to Rihanna and Eminem to do. there has to be a reason behind that.
Cireena Smith Skylar gave it to Rihanna because Chris Brown and Rihanna broke up.
Andre Reeder I call bullshit lol
Cireena Smith well im fairly sure sia wrote diamonds for rihanna... apparently riri simply can't write her own shizz.

Thanks for this information dude
Love this version
Um? She's not raspy at all lol. Especially on the higher notes when she switches go falsetto.
Rihanna's version was great but I love Skylar Gray's voice so much more. Its just so easy to listen to.
Skylay singing? So better than rihana

+Marie Barns thx mate!：）
Rihanna sounds much better.
Skylar is criminally underrated. Better than the half of popular female singers today, specifically Rihanna and Taylor Swift. But she's getting the credit she deserves.
The reason Skylar gave the song to Rihanna is because of the whole Chris Brown thing.
Asia Gasai Yuno actually this is the part 2 of love the way you lie which is on Rihannas album feat. Eminem
Skylar signed for shady rec and gave it to em who wanted rihanna instead of skylar because of the chris brown thing
Is that true? I guess that would make sense.
*VandarGames** Who the fuck are Rihanna and Chris Brown?*
Actually no. She sold it to them cause it would get more publicity and Em and Rihanna wrote another version. And skylar recorded hers without Em.
I love this comment section because in this one everyone knows that this is skylars song. Personally I like skylars version better, but that's just me. I know in other comment sections of this song, people are like

Skylar is just unique. Not like any other (commercial) artist you can hear on the radio. Thanks her for that.
Skylar grey + Eminem = An amazing song and feel that only they could pull off.
So true

Skylar writes hits for everyone. Underrated AF!

LYRICS;
On the first page of our story
The future seemed so bright
Then this thing turned out so evil
I don't know why I'm still surprised
Even angels have their wicked schemes
And you take that to new extremes
But you'll always be my hero
Even though you've lost your mind
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that's all right because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
But that's all right because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
Oh, I love the way you lie
Now there's gravel in our voices
Glass is shattered from the fight
In this tug of war you'll always win
Even when I'm right
'Cause you feed me fables from your hand
With violent words and empty threats
And it's sick that all these battles
Are what keeps me satisfied
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that's all right because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
But that's all right because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
Oh, I love the way you lie
So maybe I'm a masochist
I try to run but I don't wanna ever leave
'Til the walls are goin' up
In smoke with all our memories
It's mornin', you wake, a sun ray hits your face
Smeared makeup as we lay in the wake of destruction
Hush baby, speak softly, tell me you're awfully sorry
That you pushed me into the coffee table last night
So I can push you off me
Try and touch me so I can scream at you not to touch me
Run out the room and I'll follow you like a lost puppy
Baby, without you I'm nothing, I'm so lost, hug me
Then tell me how ugly I am, but that you'll always love me
Then after that, shove me, in the aftermath of the
Destructive path that we're on, two psychopaths but we
Know that no matter how many knives we put in each other's backs
That we'll have each other's backs, 'cause we're that lucky
Together, we move mountains, let's not make mountains out of molehills
You hit me twice, yeah, but who's countin'
I may have hit you three times, I'm startin' to lose count
But together, we'll live forever, we found the youth fountain
Our love is crazy, we're nuts, but I refuse counsellin'
This house is too huge, if you move out I'll burn all two thousand
Square feet of it to the ground, ain't shit you can do about it
'Cause with you I'm in my fuckin' mind, without you I'm out it
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that's all right because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
But that's all right because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
Oh, I love the way you lie
hearing skylar sing just gives me chills her voice is so beautiful
Deux belles voix ensemble 👍👍👌👌
skylar and Rihanna killed it
Can they just fall in love and get married and live happily ever after? Please, the world needs this
I think that's the one that should have had 1 billion views
On the first page of our story
The future seemed so bright
Then this thing turned out so evil
I don't know why I'm still surprised
Even angels have their wicked schemes
And you take that to new extremes
But you'll always be my hero
Even though you've lost your mind
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
Well that's alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
Well that's alright because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
Now there's gravel in our voices
Glasses shattered from the fight
In this tug of war you always win
Even when I'm right
Cos you feed me fables from your head
With violent words and empty threats
And it's sick that all these battles are what keeps me satisfied
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
Well that's alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
Well that's alright because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
So maybe I'm a masochist
I try to run but I don't wanna ever leave
Til the walls are going up
In smoke with all our memories
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
Well that's alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
Well that's alright because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
Thank you for this
.
[Verse 3 (Eminem)]
This morning
You wake, a sun ray hits your face
Smeared makeup, as we lay in the wake of destruction
Shh! Hush, baby
Speak softly
Tell me how awfully sorry you are that you pushed me into the coffee table last night so I can push you off me
Try and touch me so I can scream at you not to touch me
Run out the room, and I'll follow you like a lost puppy
Baby, without you I'm nothing
I'm so lost, hug me
Then tell me how ugly I am, but that you'll always love me
Then after that, shove me
In the aftermath of the destructive path that we're on
Two psychopaths, but we know that no matter how many knives that we put in each other's backs
That we'll have each other's backs cuz we're that lucky
Together we move mountains
Let not make mountains out of mole hills
You hit me twice, yeah, but who's countin'
I may have hit you three times
I'm startin' to lose count
But together we'll live forever
We found the youth fountain
Our love is crazy, we're nuts, but I refuse counsellin'
Our house is too huge
If you move out I'll burn all two thousand square feet of it to the ground
Ain't shit you can do about it
Cuz with you I'm in my fuckin' mind
Without you I'm out it
PRETTY THX❤️❤️❤️
your so beautiful Skylar, not only your looks but your voice as well
This version is interesting because it seems like a middle bridge between Skylar Grey's early work as "Holly Brook" (actually really good shit) and her newer, poppier stuff.
"Skylar Grey" as her actual self, Holly Brook. 😏 I love Like Blood Like Honey.
This version's much more impactful and emotional than the other versions, love this song. :)
The literally the PERFECT edit for this song
I just lost my baby girl and this drove us to constant arguments then she took her own life. Every time I hear this... words can not describe
just so everybody knows Skylar Grey co-wrote this song before Rihanna ever put her voice to it.
This is so much better than the original. This two need to get married
The first song i head with Skyler Grey was "C'mon let me ride" and i have loved her music ever since
I wish the lyrics for this one were on here. I like this one alot
Others can be replaced and changed, but there is only one Eminem who can rap like Eminem.
but you'll always be my hero, even though you've lost your mind
joshgallagher12 I read this part as the song said it lol
❤️
❤❤❤❤❤
josh,get on the fucking train and get here now!itts halloween and people wear masks but im showing my face because because where is julie i need to know she is not upsset and you gotta know i am angry.and i need to protect the girls and as a man we know what it means because i leave this here 300 born me reside again
Josh its perfectly placed in a elaborate meaning
anyone still jamming to this hit in 2019?
Hell Yeasssssssssssss
I dont think rihanna should have done the chorus for the original, Skylar would have been so much better.
i knew i would see some stupid comment like this
Like yours?
Jarl Borg so then, Jarl of whiterun, how goes it?
Sean McKnight just planning my next attack on Ragnar..i wanna kill him so bad
good
That intro :o
i love that she wrote it he bought it and made millions with so that means that she made double!!!
skylar grey wrote the hook, eminem wrote the verses of course
WooIley
Not this version.
i'm on about the song that made millions
This deserves way more views.
anyone listening in November 2019???
Yes kiddd
Hell yeah buddy.
she sung it frm the heart...
Rhianna kann singen, so gut se will... Ich finds schön, dass Skylar das Lied auch gemacht hat. So bekomme ich noch ne Version auf die Ohren, die nicht nervt. Aber geschmackssache :)
Well,I like Both.Life is Rage for Such a Song&Video. This is Soft & Frame Of Stils. Beautiful Voice Skylar has. Ayslum,I did not relate it was a Female's Name. SKY > U can Imagine anything. But,I like this SWEET Version.Lovely Tune Ms.Grey & Lyrics Too !
Wow this version pretty much broke me almost immediately :o
This is the best version of #LoveTheWayYouLie
Its more sadder than the original and to be frank, better than Rihanna's !
Her voice gives me chills.... she's amazing
Rihanna just makes this song sound so violent. This is alot more gentle and more of a meaningful version.
This was my mom and dad's song because of their relationship, so I've known it since childhood. About to turn 16 it still is the most meaningfull song I've ever heard
Em's story is so damn amazing. I can't think of an artist that can compare to his "come up". For people like me, who really did "throw on his rap record, and sit we'd vibe cause he is the shit in our eyes"... (true fans know), he meant so much to us. To us people who know what struggle means. He turned his rage and pain into his strength. Completely inspiring. To those who struggled and fought hard to survive - I raise a glass to you!
Eminem the one and only "Rap God"!!!!
I make music. stop by if you want..... but don't for a moment think I'm a phony or that I don't really honor the GREATS. They're the best and Im just a humble student of their art trying to make waves. Peace my friends!
thank you guys

so amazing
so awesome!
how amazing!
I personally think that this one is better😍
Skyler is ❤️
I'm not a guy that ever cries.. probably 15 years or so, but this song chokes me up every time.
if time was a traveler, i would be on that bus to come back to you. if time was hope, i would write every poet's words to see you again. if time was a tear, let me be that warmth. if time was with me, i would be with you.
This is real love in the 21st century.
Graison Moodley hell no. I hope not. Domestic violence does not have to be portrayed as romantic.
😑
This one is for Chester. GO with God, soldier! And thank you for the great music.
Best Version by far. I love her voice
Brilliant!!!
This video is not available :(
Damn,, I was Listening to it on American proxy!
Nice one! I guess its a cover to the original - Love the way you lie 2, right?
Divyaansha S this is a different version. Song was written by Skylar Grey, but was performed by Rihana. Skylar version cane out later
jnuttsdotcom Skylar wrote the song, don't know if she recorded this before or after Rihanna.
If eminem had the song exactly like this on recovery, the album would be awesome
Aspie Agree
+Aspie as if one song destroys an album...
+Fuoleo but one song can create an album.
one song can destroy an album.
one song can be an album.
you should be what you want...
+Diamondjelyninja very inspirational thanks
She sorta steals the show here...I'd probably forget it was an Eminem record for a few minutes there xD
I Love This Song.Whenever I Go through tough times I Listen to this song to help
First time I listened to her.... Really awesome, well done
the girl is written "Grey" not "Gray"...
After the end of a 5 year relationship rife with infidelity and lies, I heard this song and realized that I must have been some sort of gluttonous masochist to stay for as long as I did. It was not a pretty face looking back at me in the mirror after that realization.
Cheers! May you find peace. May you be always blessed.
0:46 chills down my spine. The voice of an angel
wow...I love hearing Skylar singing with Em!
Skylar > Rihanna
+Yung Versace truth
lyrics > skylar , wildness in vocal>rihanna
you right
Idd micem booth
This is the best version, but I almost wish the music had kept coming for Skylar's last chorus. Would've been epic.
actually in her attempt to gain Alex the Kid's attention to work with him, Skylar sent him 'love the way you lie', fresh from writing it while in seclusion in the mountains, with no idea what was about to happen. Alex, a music producer, saw the gold in the song, and quickly forwarded it to eminem and rihanna, and a month later, with barely time to catch her breath, Skylar found the song she wrote at a #1 spot in the charts. she just sat back on rode the roller coaster to fame.
I love Skylar and this song since SNL
this is so much better
Skylar Gray is Soooo much better then Rihanna
this is honestly my favorite song I've heard n I heard it right when I was going through a rough time with love n Eminem's part helped me get through it
how have I never heard this before? this is amazing
On our way to glory
Trials and tribulations make HIStory
Dont quit no giving up on Victory
The hardships seen from the starships are gory
But tomorrow will follow
Yesterday's truth hard to swallow
In the reflection a role model
Theres no such thing as a towel
The truth to the dare
We dont have time to spare
We are all diamonds in the sky rare
When fire sparked the fire the universal flare
Make it here in the city of dreams and take it everywhere
We rarely barely sleep, sleep walking chasing dreams anywhere,
Talk is cheap, no time for counting sheep from where we stare ,
Humanity as one a dream we all shall overcome at a glare,
Are we in too deep with the reality distracted in despair,
Sealed with all my luv heart and a drop of sol with care,
These are the words that come to mind I felt to share,
Everyday I'm blessed awoken with a token to breath air I am aware,
The only reason Rihanna sang this song is because Skylar wasn't confident in herself singing it and she asked Rihanna to sing for it as the song has a deeper meaning to Ri Ri
True but I think Rihanna's connection to the meaning made it that much better
+Beast Predator it was em who asked skylar if rihanna could sing it since she was going through chris brown, the skylar told rihanna she could
+Beast Predator Or MAYBE. Just MAYBE, it was because Rihanna has millions of fans and it was suppose to be a hit record.
+Thepomafame WHO WOULD LIKE RIHHANA
+TheFlipize wrong there, I Need a Doctor got crazy hits and in my point I agree they used Rihanna instead of Skyler cause of what was going on with Chris, it made more sense to have her sing it with Eminem since he went through a similar situation, but I liked Skyler Greys Voice better, I would skipp Rihannas part to Ems
always loved this
just killing it they do on this one
