Wake up behind these trenches, you run around defenseless
There is too much to lose, You cannot fill these shoes

from Eminem – Almost Famous Lyrics on Rap Genius

As he constantly reminds us, Em’s life is not easy as some people think. If you were him all of a sudden (woke up in his shoes/his place), you’d feel defenseless and wouldn’t know what to do (having sacrificed so much, as family ties, private life…etc).
