syllables

eminem

it's not about lyrics anymore

it's about a hot beat and a catchy hook

if we gotta dumb down our style and abc it

then so be it

cause nowadays these kids

jeez

don't give a shit about lyrics

all they wanna hear is a beat and that's it

long as they can go to the club and get blitz

pick up some chicks and get some digits

and the dj's playing them hits

oh

this my jam

this my shit

we don't know a word to a verse

all we know is the chorus

'cause the chorus repeats the same four words for us

and the songs ginormous

the whole formula's switched

'cause we don't know anymore

what are hits

is it the beat

is it the rap?

is it a finger snap or the same 808 clap?

and how do we adapt and get trl votes

when 13 year olds control the remote

and ashley's got a brand new nose

we gotta put some new emphasis on our syllables

if the emphasis on the compact disc isn't the beat

than i'm gonna feature em and get rich

and let dre mix the shit and drive off in the range ro

'cause everywhere i go they love the bling bling flow

bang bang look at the way my chain glow

the ring on my fing' cost jermaine a lot of dough

oh

the fuck am i busting my brain for?

it's just the way the game go

oh

it takes 2 to tango

you call this a lame flow

you bought the shit

i guess you to blame too

i just found the angle

no more reality flow

i'm tryna time my album dropping with a reality show

cock the mac 11 in front of hot 97

and call my publicist

tell her

we're in press heaven"
