[Future (Mekhi Phifer)]
Well, Jimmy moved in with his mother
'Cause he ain't got no place to go

[Rabbit (Eminem)]
And now I'm right back in the gutter
With a garbage bag that's full of clothes

[Future (Mekhi Phifer)]
Buss it, buss it, 'cause
You live at home in a trailer
What the hell you gonna do?

[Chorus: Rabbit (Eminem)]
'Cause I live at home in a trailer
Mom, I'm comin' home to you

[Future (Mekhi Phifer)]
Uh, break it down, uh

[Rabbit (Eminem), Mekhi Phifer, Both]
Well, my name is Jimmy, his name's Greg Buehl
Me, him and you we went to the same school
This ain't cool, I'm in a rage
He's tappin' my mom we're almost the same age
On the microphone I drop bombs
Look at this car, thanks a lot, mom (ha ha)
Here, happy birthday, Rabbit
Here's a brand new car, you can have it
A 1928 Delta
This shit won't even get me to The Shelter
And I can't even say I'm from Motown
'Cause I'm back in the 810 now

[Chorus: Rabbit (Eminem)]
'Cause I live at home in a trailer
Mom, I'm comin' home to you

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.
