Rap God
Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP 2
I was gonna go easy on you
not to hurt your feelings
But I'm only going to get this one chance
I can feel it (Six minutes
like something's about to happen
If that means what I think it means
we're in trouble – big trouble
And if he is bananas as you say
I'm not taking any chances
You are just what the doctor ordered
I'm beginning to feel like a Rap God
All my people from the front to the back nod
Now who thinks their arms are long enough to slapbox
They said I rap like a robot
But for me to rap like a computer must be in my genes
I got a laptop in my back pocket
My pen'll go off when I half-cock it
Got a fat knot from that rap profit
Made a living and a killing off it
Ever since Bill Clinton was still in office
With Monica Lewinsky feeling on his nut-sack
I'm an MC still as honest
But as rude and indecent as all hell
Syllables skill-a-holic (Kill 'em all with)
This slickety-gippety-hippity-hip-hop
You don't really wanna get into a pissing match with this rappity-rap
Packing a Mack in the back of the Ac
And now at the exact same time
I attempt these lyrical acrobat stunts while I'm practicing that
I'll still be able to break a motherfuckin' table
Over the back of a couple of faggots and crack it in half
Only realized it was ironic I was signed to Aftermath after the fact
How could I not blow? All I do is drop F-bombs
Rappers are having a rough time period
It's actually disastrously bad for the wack
While I'm masterfully constructing this masterpiece
'Cause I'm beginning to feel like a Rap God
All my people from the front to the back nod
Now who thinks their arms are long enough to slapbox
Let me show you maintaining this shit ain't that hard
Everybody want the key and the secret to rap immortality like I have got
to be truthful the blueprint's simply rage and youthful exuberance
Everybody loves to root for a nuisance
Hit the earth like an asteroid
I did nothing but shoot for the moon since
MCs get taken to school with this music
'Cause I use it as a vehicle to bust the rhyme
Now I lead a new school full of students
Me? I'm a product of Rakim
Inspired enough to one day grow up
To meet Run-D.M.C. and induct them into the motherfuckin' Rock n'
Even though I'll walk in the church and burst in a ball of flames
Only Hall of Fame I be inducted in is the alcohol of fame
You fags think it's all a game till I walk a flock of flames
tell me what in the fuck are you thinking?
So gay I can barely say it with a straight face looking boy
You witnessing a massacre
Like you watching a church gathering take place looking boy
that's all they say looking boy
And a way to go from your label everyday looking boy
what you say looking boy?
I get a "hell yeah" from Dre looking boy
I'mma work for everything I have
Never asked nobody for that shit
get outta my face looking boy
Basically boy you're never gonna be capable
Of keeping up with the same pace looking boy
'Cause I'm beginning to feel like a Rap God
All my people from the front to the back nod
The way I'm racing around the track
Dale Earnhardt of the trailer park
Kneel before General Zod this planet's Krypton
So you be Thor and I'll be Odin
Let off then I'm reloading immediately with these bombs I'm totin'
And I should not be woken
but I'm just a talking head
But I got your mom deep throating
we have nothing in common
pinch yourself in the arm and pay homage
But it's honestly futile if I don't utilize what I do though
For good at least once in a while
So I wanna make sure somewhere in this chicken scratch I scribble and doodle
Enough rhymes to maybe try to help get some people through tough times
But I gotta keep a few punchlines just in case 'cause even you unsigned
Rappers are hungry looking at me like it's lunchtime
I know there was a time where once I
Was king of the underground
but I still rap like I'm on my Pharoahe Monch grind
but sometimes when you combine
Appeal with the skin color of mine
You get too big and here they come trying to censor you
Like that one line I said on "I'm Back" from The Mathers LP
One where I tried to say I'd take seven kids from Columbine
See if I get away with it now that I ain't as big as I was
Morphin' into an immortal coming through the portal
You're stuck in a time warp from 2004 though
And I don't know what the fuck that you rhyme for
You're pointless as Rapunzel with fucking cornrows
And I just bought a new raygun from the future
To just come and shoot ya like when Fabolous made Ray J mad
'Cause Fab said he looked like a fag at Maywhether's pad
Singin' to a man while he played piano
that was the 24/7 special on the cable channel
So Ray J went straight to the radio station the very next day
Lyrics coming at you at supersonic speed
sama lamaa duma lamaa you assuming I'm a human
What I gotta do to get it through to you I'm superhuman
Innovative and I'm made of rubber
So that anything you say is ricocheting off of me and it'll glue to you
more than never demonstrating
How to give a motherfuckin' audience a feeling like it's levitating
and I know the haters are forever waiting
For the day that they can say I fell off
'Cause I know the way to get 'em motivated
that's what they do when they get jealous
'cause I found a hella way to fuse it
Throw on Lose Yourself and make 'em lose it
I don't know how to make songs like that
I don't know what words to use
Let me know when it occurs to you
While I'm ripping any one of these verses diverse as you
I'm inadvertently hurtin' you
How many verses I gotta murder to prove
That if you were half as nice
your songs and you could sacrifice virgins too
But look at the accolades these skills brung me
I bully myself 'cause I make me do what I put my mind to
And I'm a million leagues above you
ill when I speak in tongues
But it's still tongue and cheek
I'm drunk so Satan take the fucking wheel
I'm asleep in the front seat
Bumping Heavy D. & the Boys
But in my head there's something I can feel tugging and struggling
Angels fight with devils and here's what they want from me
They asking me to eliminate some of the women hate
But if you take into consideration the bitter hatred that I had
Then you may be a little patient and more sympathetic to the situation
And understand the discrimination
life's handing you lemons
But if I can't batter the women how the fuck am I supposed to bake them a cake then?
Don't mistake it for Satan
It's a fatal mistake if you think I need to be overseas
And take a vacation to trip a broad
And make her fall on her face and don't be a retard
Why be a king when you can be a God?
