Living Proof by Eminem and Royce da 5'9" (Bad Meets Evil b-sides?) LEAKED

I first discovered this song around a year ago. I am a Die-Hard Eminem fan (not hard-core, DIE-HARD) and so, I try to get every song of his in existence. For some reason, I only started to REALLY listen this one, a few months ago; I might have forgotten about it before (I don't know how).

This is an officially released Bad Meets Evil track that is available in Hell: The Sequel Limited Edition//Deluxe Edition's bonus tracks alongside Echo, another GREAT song!

Looking at the title, I naturally thought that this was a song tribute to Proof, but it isn't.
It's more of a Royce song, talking about how Eminem helped him up. It could be called the equivalent to Eminem and Dre's I Need a Doctor, but Bad-Meets-Evil-ized. There's no REAL hedonistic insanity to this song, just pure energy and a tale of Royce's journey back into mainstream music (he even specifically acknowledges his appearance with Jay-Z and Eminem in the Detroit Football stadium really boosting his popularity).

I've never heard Eminem so amped up. Ever. I've heard practically every Eminem song released and he's never seemed so lost in his rhymes. He shouts (literally) out the last word of his stanzas. You can't listen to this song sitting still unless you're paralyzed. The beat is contagious. Eminem's energy amps the listener up. I think this is the song I'll turn to, whenever I feel exhausted.

"I have no desire stopping, so why would I drop and roll? That's how much on fire, I am!"-Eminem
"It's pretty safe to say, God giveth and God taketh away."
