[Intro: Eminem]
Slim motherfuckin' Shady
A'ight
Missy Elliott, Timbo, c'mon, yo

[Verse 1: Eminem]
I'm homicidal and suicidal, with no friends
Holding a gun with no handles, just a barrel at both ends
Sprayin' TECs at you until you see your fuckin' legs
With the bullet holes and the exit wounds layin' next to you
Fuckin' mad dog, foamin' at the mouth
Fuck mouth, my whole house is foamin' at the couch
Jumped out of the ninety-third floor of a buildin'
And shot every window out on the way down to the ground (Keep filmin'!)
Woke up to a hospital staff, got up and laughed
Chopped 'em in half and suffocated your oxygen mask
Shit, if I get any higher I'ma get the East and West beefin' again
Fly back to Detroit and stand in the crossfire

[Interlude: Ken Kaniff]
Oh fuck. Oh shit. I got the hotel room ready. What time are you getting off... work? Or shall I say... what time are you coming home.

[Verse 2: Eminem]
A'ight, yo, yo, yo
One more time, yo
I'm only smilin' when I'm violent, got on a plane wylin'
Told the pilot to fly me to Tylenol Island (Now)
Stewardess like, "You restless?" "Nah, bitch, I'm restful
Just hold this fuckin' jet still so I can eat these pretzels"
Forget school, the other kids are disrespectful
They hold me down and play connect-the-dots with my freckles (Leave me alone)
I can't take it, I'm tryin' to gain weight, so I eat steak
Swallow the whole plate and weigh myself naked ([?])
Put out albums to teach kids family values
'Cause every mom and dad should allow you to pop Valiums
And never hit someone unless you got a reason
And if there ain't a reason, make one up, start swingin'

Eminem

A legendary hip-hop icon who started as an underground battle rapper in Detroit, Marshall “Eminem” Bruce Mathers III (1972 – present) has developed a career full of controversy, wild swings, and some of the most noteworthy raps in the history of the genre.

Eminem has broken countless barriers, shifting and impacting the culture in several ways. In June 2017, “Stan” was added into the Oxford Dictionary, and in 2019, to the Merriam-Webster dictionary. He was the first rapper to win the Grammy Award for Best Album for three consecutive albums. “Rap God” set the Guinness World Record for most words in a song. He was also the first rapper to win an Oscar. His albums The Marshall Mathers LP and The Eminem Show became certified Diamond by the RIAA in 2011, making him one of the few artists to have more than one Diamond album. This has helped him become the highest selling hip-hop artist of all time. In January 2020, with his 11th studio album Music to Be Murdered By debuting at #1 on the Billboard 200, Eminem became the first artist in history to have 10 consecutive #1 debuts.

Produced and co-signed by Dr. Dre, Em had an unprecedented run of success from 1999 up until 2003, releasing three well-reviewed multi-platinum albums, stealing the show on countless collaborations, and even starred in a hit movie. However, it all came crashing down around 2004, when a string of problems ranging from drug dependence to depression to the tragic death of best friend Deshaun “Proof” Holton in 2006 led to a long hiatus from music and a pair of what were, by his own admission, sub-par albums.
