[Verse 1]
All them gangsta motherfuckers that went platinum
I had 'em hold out their hands and put a gat in 'em
Looked 'em in the faces and then spat in 'em
I picked the meanest Rott in this
Look at when it got in his face his daughter's swat to dot
His others gotten monotonous
'Cause all ya bitches swear ya made of cement
If you would've just had my fuckin money, I'd be straight as a split
But all ya multi-millionaires have never paid us in rent
So what a house and motherfuckers that never made us a cеnt

[Hook]
What's your intent?
I'm analyzing every cut your in to judgе your intent
I wanna know where you stand, I mean, as far as who you are
How would you act if you woke up and tomorrow you're a star?

[Verse 2]
I made a little change
Now they got me doin' some shows wit ho's in 'em
But I ain't change I still wear my clothes with holes in 'em
And wear my hair however I like
Bic it to stick it to slick it back, lick it back and then pat it down to spike
I'm happy to be alive and well
But it's probably way too happy be when you're survivin' hell
But in a way I think I'm kinda glad at that
'Cause I appreciate the good now that I've had it bad
Now I'mma run it back

[Hook]
What's your intent?
I'm analyzing every cut your in to judge your intent
I wanna know where you stand, I mean, as far as who you are
How would you act if you woke up and tomorrow you're a star?
What's your intent?

[Bridge]
What's your intent?
I wanna know
What's your intent?
Tell me what's your intent?

[Verse 3]
I come from where the folks of the family
Where there wasn't nothin' but funkin' and drug addicts and drug in our family
The only word that ever was to close was do or die
My uncle couldn't take it the moment chosen suicide
My Aunt's and Uncle

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.
