| [00:01.34][Verse 1] |
|
| [00:10.00] |
It's like I'm in this dirt, digging up old hurt |
| [00:13.14] |
Tried everything to get my mind off you, it won't work |
| [00:16.07] |
All it takes is one song on the radio, you're |
| [00:19.36] |
Right back on it, reminding me all over again |
| [00:21.46] |
How you fucking just brushed me off and left me so burnt |
| [00:24.22] |
Spent a lot of time tryin' to soul search |
| [00:26.54] |
Maybe I needed to grow up a little first |
| [00:28.65] |
Well, looks like I hit a growth spurt |
| [00:30.19] |
But I'm coming for closure |
| [00:32.27] |
Don't suppose an explanation I'm owed, for |
| [00:34.66] |
The way that you turned your back on me |
| [00:36.35] |
Just when I may have needed you most |
| [00:37.96] |
Oh, you thought it was over? You could just close the |
| [00:40.60] |
Chapter and go about your life like it was nothing? |
| [00:43.60] |
You ruined mine, but you seem to be doin' fine |
| [00:45.67] |
Well, I've never recovered |
| [00:46.88] |
But tonight I bet you that what you're 'bout to go through's tougher than anything I ever have suffered |
| [00:51.35] |
Can't think of a better way to define poetic justice |
| [00:54.36] |
Can I hold grudges? Mind saying, "Let it go, fuck this." |
| [00:57.32] |
Heart's saying: "I will, once I bury this bitch alive |
| [01:00.12] |
Hide the shovel and then drive off in the sunset." |
| [01:02.57][Hook: Sarah Jaffe] |
|
| [01:02.80] |
I flee the scene like it was my last ride |
| [01:08.67] |
You see right through |
| [01:11.77] |
Oh, you had me pegged the first time |
| [01:14.66] |
You can see the truth, but it's easier to justify |
| [01:20.56] |
What's bad is good and I hate to be the bad guy |
| [01:26.37] |
I just hate to be the bad guy |
| [01:31.29] |
(Follow me, I ruh-uh-un; follow me, I ruh-uh-un) |
| [01:35.75] |
I just hate to be the bad guy |
| [01:37.22] |
(Follow me, I ruh-uh-un; follow me, I ruh-uh-un) |
| [01:37.76][Verse 2] |
|
| [01:38.10] |
And to think I used to think you was the shit, bitch |
| [01:40.18] |
To think it was you at one time I worshipped, shit |
| [01:42.97] |
Think you can hurt people and just keep getting away with it? |
| [01:46.13] |
Not this time, you better go and get the sewing kit, bitch! |
| [01:49.03] |
Finish this stitch, so you can reap what you sew, nitwit |
| [01:51.21] |
Thought some time would pass and I'd forget it? |
| [01:54.09] |
Forget it! You left our family in shambles |
| [01:56.59] |
And you expect me to just get over him |
| [01:58.69] |
Pretend he never existed? |
| [02:00.16] |
May be gone, but he's not forgotten |
| [02:02.52] |
And don't think ‘cause he's been out the pictures so long that I've stopped the plottin' and still ain't coming to get ya |
| [02:05.94] |
You're wrong and that shit was rotten |
| [02:08.39] |
And the way you played him, same shit you did to me; cold |
| [02:11.14] |
Have you any idea the shit that I've gone through? |
| [02:14.26] |
Feelings I harbor? All this pent up resentment I hold on to? |
| [02:17.30] |
Not once you call to ask me how I'm doin' |
| [02:19.02] |
Letters, you don't respond to 'em |
| [02:20.34] |
Fuck it, I'm coming to see you |
| [02:21.85] |
And, gee, who better to talk to than you? |
| [02:23.64] |
The cause of my problems, my life is garbage |
| [02:25.76] |
And I'm 'bout to take it out on you, poof, then I'm gone, voosh |
| [02:28.90][Hook: Sarah Jaffe] |
|
| [02:29.13] |
I flee the scene like it was my last ride |
| [02:34.74] |
You see right through |
| [02:38.07] |
Oh, you had me pegged the first time |
| [02:40.52] |
You can see the truth, but it's easier to justify |
| [02:46.60] |
What's bad is good and I hate to be the bad guy |
| [02:52.34] |
I just hate to be the bad guy |
| [02:58.12] |
(Follow me, I ruh-uh-un; follow me, I ruh-uh-un) |
| [03:02.61] |
I just hate to be the bad guy |
| [03:04.32] |
(Follow me, I ruh-uh-un; follow me, I ruh-uh-un) |
| [03:07.94][Verse 3] |
|
| [03:09.00] |
I've been drivin' around your side of this town |
| [03:11.26] |
Like 9 frickin' hours and 45 minutes now |
| [03:13.37] |
Finally I found your new address, park in your drive |
| [03:16.53] |
Feel like I've been waiting on this moment all of my life |
| [03:18.67] |
And it's now arrived, and my mouth is full of saliva |
| [03:21.16] |
My knife is out and I'm ducking on the side of your house |
| [03:23.17] |
See, it's sad it came to this point |
| [03:25.52] |
Such a disappointment I had to make this appointment |
| [03:27.42] |
To come and see ya, but I ain't here for your empathy |
| [03:30.40] |
I don't need your apology or your friendship or sympathy |
| [03:32.83] |
It's revenge that I seek |
| [03:33.84] |
So I sneak vengefully and treat your bedroom window |
| [03:36.51] |
Like I reached my full potential; I peeked |
| [03:38.64] |
Continue to peep, still bent low, then keep |
| [03:41.58] |
Tapping the glass lightly then start to crescendo, sneak |
| [03:44.29] |
All the way 'round to the back porch |
| [03:45.97] |
Man, door handles unlocked, shouldn't be that easy to do this |
| [03:49.01] |
You don't plan for intruders beforehand? |
| [03:50.88] |
Surprised to see me? Cat got your tongue? |
| [03:53.28] |
Gag, chloroform rag, gag, almost hack-up a lung |
| [03:56.57] |
Like you picked an axe up and swung, stick to the core plan |
| [03:58.88] |
Dragged to the back of a trunk by one of your fans |
| [04:01.90] |
Irony's spectacular, huh? Now who's a faggot, you punk? |
| [04:05.17] |
And here's your Bronco hat |
| [04:06.59] |
You can have that shit back, ‘cause they suck |
| [04:08.07] |
It's just me, you and the music now, Slim, I hope you hear it |
| [04:11.35] |
We're in the car right now, wait, here comes my favorite lyric |
| [04:14.43] |
"I'm the bad guy who makes fun of people that die" |
| [04:17.04] |
And hey, here's a sequel to my Mathers LP |
| [04:18.99] |
Just to try to get people to buy |
| [04:20.52] |
How's this for a publicity stunt? This should be fun |
| [04:23.54] |
Last album now, ‘cause after this you'll be officially done |
| [04:26.23] |
Eminem killed by M and M, Matthew Mitchell |
| [04:28.78] |
Bitch, I even have your initials |
| [04:31.27] |
I initially was gonna bury you next to my brother, but fuck it |
| [04:34.22] |
Since you're in love with your city so much |
| [04:36.75] |
I figured, what the fuck |
| [04:37.75] |
The best place you could be buried alive is right here |
| [04:39.72] |
Two more exits, time is quite near |
| [04:41.94] |
Hope we don't get stopped, no license I fear |
| [04:44.20] |
That sirens I hear? Guess 90 on the freeway wasn't the brightest idea, as cops appear in my driver's side mirror |
| [04:50.13] |
(Oh, God! Police! Aaaghh!) |
| [04:52.70] |
Hope Foxtrot gets an aerial shot of your burial plot, at least |
| [04:56.16] |
New plan, Stan, Slim: "Chauvinist pig |
| [04:58.71] |
Drove in this big Lincoln Town Car" |
| [05:00.95] |
Well, gotta go, almost at the bridge |
| [05:02.86] |
Ha ha, big bro, it's for you, Slim, this is for him |
| [05:05.73] |
And Frank Ocean; oh, hope you can swim good |
| [05:07.86] |
Now say you hate homos again! |
| [05:09.45][Part 2: Produced by StreetRunner] |
|
| [05:10.41][Verse 4] |
|
| [05:10.92] |
I also represent anyone on the receiving end |
| [05:15.01] |
Of those jokes you offend |
| [05:15.98] |
I'm the nightmare you fell asleep and then woke up still in |
| [05:19.07] |
I'm your karma closing in with each stroke of a pen |
| [05:22.41] |
Perfect time to have some remorse to show for your sin |
| [05:25.66] |
Nope, it's hopeless, I'm the denial that you're hopelessly in |
| [05:28.50] |
When they say all of this is approachin' its end |
| [05:31.14] |
But you refuse to believe that it's over |
| [05:32.84] |
Here we go all over again |
| [05:34.47] |
Back's to the wall, I'm stacking up all them odds |
| [05:37.25] |
Toilets clogged, yeah, ‘cause I'm talking a lot of shit |
| [05:39.39] |
But I'm backing it all up |
| [05:40.94] |
But in my head there's a voice in the back and it hollers |
| [05:43.76] |
After the track is demolished, "I am your lack of a conscience" |
| [05:47.17] |
I'm the ringing in your ears |
| [05:48.82] |
I'm the polyps on the back of your tonsils |
| [05:51.00] |
Eatin' your vocal chords after your concerts |
| [05:53.42] |
I'm your time that's almost up that you haven't acknowledged |
| [05:56.17] |
Grab for some water |
| [05:57.17] |
But I'm that pill that's too jagged to swallow |
| [05:59.42] |
I'm the bullies you hate |
| [06:00.77] |
That you became with every faggot you slaughtered |
| [06:03.29] |
Coming back on you, every woman you insult |
| [06:05.57] |
Batter, but the double-standards you have |
| [06:07.51] |
When it comes to your daughters |
| [06:08.67] |
I represent everything you take for granted |
| [06:11.18] |
‘Cause Marshall Mathers, the rapper's persona, is half a facade |
| [06:14.25] |
And Matthew and Stan's just symbolic |
| [06:15.45] |
Of you not knowing what you had 'til it's gone |
| [06:17.88] |
‘Cause after all the glitz and the glam |
| [06:19.60] |
No more fans that are calling your name |
| [06:21.18] |
Cameras are off, sad, but it happens to all of them |
| [06:24.15] |
I'm the hindsight to say, “I told you so!” |
| [06:26.54] |
Foreshadows of all the things that are to follow |
| [06:29.42] |
I'm the future that's here to show you what happens tomorrow |
| [06:32.57] |
If you don't stop after they call ya |
| [06:34.74] |
Biggest laughing stock of rap who can't call it quits |
| [06:36.69] |
When it's time to walk away, I'm every guilt trip |
| [06:39.06] |
The baggage you have, but as you gather up all your possessions, if there's anything you have left to say |
| [06:44.59] |
'Less it makes an impact, then don't bother |
| [06:46.45] |
So 'fore you rest your case |
| [06:47.60] |
Better make sure you're packing a wallop |
| [06:50.28] |
So, one last time, I'm back, before it fades into black |
| [06:53.35] |
And it's all over, behold the final chapter in a saga |
| [06:56.59] |
Tryin' to recapture that lightning trapped in a bottle |
| [07:00.50] |
Twice, the magic that started |
| [07:01.97] |
It all, tragic portrait of an artist |
| [07:04.18] |
Tortured, trapped in his own drawings |
| [07:05.92] |
Tap into thoughts blacker and darker than anything imaginable |
| [07:09.19] |
Here goes a wild stab in the dark, uh |
| [07:11.12] |
As we pick up where the last Mathers left off |
