Eminem feat. Rihanna - The Monster

[Hook: Rihanna]

I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed

Get along with the voices inside of my head

You're trying to save me, stop holdin' your breath

And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy

[Verse 1: Eminem]

I wanted the fame, but not the cover of Newsweek

Oh well, guess beggars can't be choosey

Wanted to receive attention for my music

Wanted to be left alone in public excuse me

For wanting my cake, and eat it too, and wanting it both ways

Fame made me a balloon cause my ego inflated when I blew, see

But it was confusing, cause all I wanted to do's be

The Bruce Lee of loose leaf

Abused ink, used it as a tool when I blew steam

Hit the lottery, ooh-wee

But with what I gave up to get it was bittersweet

It was like winning a used mink

Ironic cause I think I'm getting so huge I need a shrink

I'm beginning to lose sleep

One sheep, two sheep

Going coo-coo and kooky as Kool Keith

But I'm actually weirder than you think

Cause I'm...

[Hook]

[Bridge: Rihanna] X2

Well, that's nothing

[Verse 2: Eminem]

Now, I ain't much of a poet but I know somebody once told me to seize the moment and don't squander it

Cause you never know when it all could be over tomorrow, so I keep conjuring

Sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from

(Yeah, pondering'll do you wonders

No wonder you're losing your mind, the way it wanders)

Yodel-odel-ay-hee-hoo!

I think it went wandering off down yonder

And stumbled onto Jeff VanVonderen

Cause I need an interventionist to intervene between me and this monster

And save me from myself and all this conflict

Cause the very thing that I love's killing me and I can't conquer it

My OCD is conking me in the head, keep knockin'

Nobody's home, I'm sleepwalkin'

I'm just relaying what the voice in my head is saying

Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just friends with the...

[Hook + Bridge]

[Verse 3: Eminem]

Call me crazy, but I have this vision

One day that I'll walk amongst you a regular civilian

But until then drums get killed and I'm

Coming straight at MCs, blood gets spilled and I'll

Take it back to the days that I'd get on a Dre track

Give every kid who got played that, pumped up feelin'

And shit to say back to the kids who played him

I ain't here to save the fucking children

But if one kid out of a hundred million

Who are going through a struggle feels it and

Relates, that's great, it's payback, Russell Wilson

Falling way back in the draft, turn nothing into something, still can

Make that, straw into gold chump, I will spin

Rumpelstiltskin in a haystack

Maybe I need a straight jacket, face facts

I am nuts for real, but I'm okay with that

It's nothing, I'm still friends with the...

[Hook + Bridge]

Eminem feat. Rihanna - Love The Way You Lie

[Refrain - Rihanna]

Just gonna stand there

And watch me burn

But that's alright

Because I like

The way it hurts

Just gonna stand there

And hear me cry

But that's alright

Because I love

The way you lie

I love the way you lie

[Eminem]

I can't tell you what it really is

I can only tell you what it feels like

And right now there's a steel knife

In my windpipe

I can't breathe

But I still fight

While I can fight

As long as the wrong feels right

It's like I'm in flight

High of a love

Drunk from the hate

It's like I'm huffing paint

And I love it the more that I suffer

I suffocate

And right before I'm about to drown

She resuscitates me

She fucking hates me

And I love it

Wait

Where you going

I'm leaving you

No you ain't

Come back

We're running right back

Here we go again

It's so insane

'Cause when it's going good

It's going great

I'm Superman

With the wind in his bag

She's Lois Lane

But when it's bad

It's awful

I feel so ashamed

I snap

Who's that dude

I don't even know his name

I laid hands on her

I'll never stoop so low again

I guess I don't know my own strength

[Refrain - Rihanna]

Just gonna stand there

And watch me burn

But that's alright

Because I like

The way it hurts

Just gonna stand there

And hear me cry

But that's alright

Because I love

The way you lie

I love the way you lie

I love the way you lie

[Eminem]

You ever love somebody so much

You can barely breathe

When you're with them

You meet

And neither one of you

Even know what hit 'em

Got that warm fuzzy feeling

Yeah them chills

Used to get 'em

Now you're getting fucking sick

Of looking at 'em

You swore you've never hit 'em

Never do nothing to hurt 'em

Now you're in each other's face

Spewing venom

And these words

When you spit 'em

You push

Pull each other's hair

Scratch, claw, bit 'em

Throw 'em down

Pin 'em

So lost in the moments

When you're in 'em

It's the rage that took over

It controls you both

So they say it's best

To go your separate ways

Guess that they don't know ya

'Cause today

That was yesterday

Yesterday is over

It's a different day

Sound like broken records

Playin' over

But you promised her

Next time you'll show restraint

You don't get another chance

Life is no Nintendo game

But you lied again

Now you get to watch her leave

Out the window

Guess that's why they call it window pane

[Refrain - Rihanna]

Just gonna stand there

And watch me burn

But that's alright

Because I like

The way it hurts

Just gonna stand there

And hear me cry

But that's alright

Because I love the way you lie

I love the way you lie

I love the way you lie

[Eminem]

Now I know we said things

Did things

That we didn't mean

And we fall back

Into the same patterns

Same routine

But your temper's just as bad

As mine is

You're the same as me

But when it comes to love

You're just as blinded

Baby please come back

It wasn't you

Baby it was me

Maybe our relationship

Isn't as crazy as it seems

Maybe that's what happens

When a tornado meets a volcano

All I know is

I love you too much

To walk away though

Come inside

Pick up your bags off the sidewalk

Don't you hear sincerity

In my voice when I talk

Told you this is my fault

Look me in the eyeball

Next time I'm pissed

I'll aim my fist

At the dry wall

Next time

There will be no next time

I apologize

Even though I know it's lies

I'm tired of the games

I just want her back

I know I'm a liar

If she ever tries to fucking leave again

I'm 'na tie her to the bed

And set the house on fire

[Refrain - Rihanna]

Just gonna stand there

And watch me burn

But that's alright

Because I like

The way it hurts

Just gonna stand there

And hear me cry

But that's alright

Because I love the way you lie

I love the way you lie

I love the way you lie.

Eminem - Not Afraid

(Hook) 

I'm not afraid to take a stand 

Everybody come take my hand 

We'll walk this road together, through the storm 

Whatever weather, cold or warm 

Just let you know that, you're not alone 

Holla if you feel that you've been down the same road 

(Intro) 

Yeah, It's been a ride... 

I guess I had to go to that place to get to this one 

Now some of you might still be in that place 

If you're trying to get out, just follow me 

I'll get you there 

(Verse 1) 

You can try and read my lyrics off of this paper before I lay 'em 

But you won't take this thing out these words before I say 'em 

Cause ain't no way I'm let you stop me from causing aim 

When I say 'em or do something I do it, I don't give a damn 

What you think, I'm doing this for me, so fuck the world 

Feed it beans, it's gassed up, if a thing's stopping me 

I'mma be what I set out to be, without a doubt undoubtedly 

And all those who look down on me I'm tearing down your balcony 

No if ands or buts don't try to ask him why or how can he 

From Infinite down to Relapse the last album he's still shittin' and 

Whether he's on salary, paid hourly 

Until he bows out or he shit's his bowels out of him 

Whichever comes first, for better or worse 

He's married to the game, like a fuck you for Christmas 

His gift is a curse, forget the earth he's got the urge 

To pull his dick from the dirt and fuck the whole universe 

(Hook) 

I'm not afraid to take a stand 

Everybody come take my hand 

We'll walk this road together, through the storm 

Whatever weather, cold or warm 

Just let you know that, you're not alone 

Holla if you feel that you've been down the same road

(Verse 2) 

Ok quit playin' with the scissors and shit, and cut the crap 

I shouldn't have to rhyme these words in the rhythm for you to know it's a rap 

You said you was king, you lied through your teeth 

For that fuck your feelings, instead of getting crowned you're getting capped 

And to the fans, I'll never let you down again, I'm back 

I promise to never go back on that promise, in fact 

Let's be honest, that last Relapse CD was "ehhhh" 

Perhaps I ran them accents into the ground 

Relax, I ain't going back to that now 

All I'm tryna say is get back, click-clack BLAOW 

Cause I ain't playin' around 

There's a game called circle and I don't know how 

I'm way too up to back down 

But I think I'm still tryna figure this crap out 

Thought I had it mapped out but I guess I didn't 

This fucking black cloud's still follow's me around 

But it's time to exercise these demons 

These motherfuckers are doing jumping jacks now! 

(Hook) 

I'm not afraid to take a stand 

Everybody come take my hand 

We'll walk this road together, through the storm 

Whatever weather, cold or warm 

Just let you know that, you're not alone 

Holla if you feel that you've been down the same road 

(Bridge) 

And I just can't keep living this way 

So starting today, I'm breaking out of this cage 

I'm standing up, Imma face my demons 

I'm manning up, Imma hold my ground 

I've had enough, now I'm so fed up 

Time to put my life back together right now 

(Verse 3) 

It was my decision to get clean, I did it for me 

Admittedly I probably did it subliminally for you 

So I could come back a brand new me, you helped see me through 

And don't even realise what you did, believe me you 

I been through the ringer, but they can do little to the middle finger 

I feel like I got a tear in my eye, I feel like the king of 

My world, haters can make like bees with no stingers, and drop dead 

No more beef flingers, no more drama from now on, I promise 

To focus soley on handling my responsibility's as a father 

So I solemnly swear to treat this roof like my daughters and raise it 

You couldn't lift a single shingle lonely 

Cause the way I feel, I'm strong enough to go to the club 

Or the corner pub and lift the whole liquor counter up 

Cause I'm raising the bar, I shoot for the moon 

But I'm too busy gazing at stars, I feel amazing and 

(Hook) 

I'm not afraid to take a stand 

Everybody come take my hand 

We'll walk this road together, through the storm 

Whatever weather, cold or warm 

Just let you know that, you're not alone 

Holla if you feel that you've been down the same road

Eminem - Cleanin Out My Closet

Where's my snare, I have no snare in my headphones, there ya' go, yeah, yo', yo'...

Have you ever been hated or discriminated against, I have, i've been protested and demonstrated

against, picket signs for my wicked rhymes, look at the times, sick is the mind of the

motherfuckin' kid that's behind, all this commotion, emotions run deep as ocean's explodin',

tempers flaring from parents, just blow 'em off and keep goin', not takin' nothin' from no one,

give 'em hell long as i'm breathin', keep kickin' ass in the mornin', an' takin' names in the

evening, leave 'em with a taste as sour as vinegar in they mouth, see they can trigger me but

they'll never figure me out, look at me now, I bet ya' probably sick of me now, ain't you mama,

i'ma make you look so ridiculous now...

[CHORUS]

I'm sorry mama, I never meant to hurt you, I never meant to make you cry, but tonight i'm

cleanin' out my closet, {one more time}, I said i'm sorry mama, I never meant to hurt you, I

never meant to make you cry, but tonight i'm cleanin' out my closet...

I got some skeletons in my closet and I don't know if no one knows it, so before they thrown me

inside my coffin and close it, i'ma expose it, i'll take you back to '73, before I ever had a

multi-platinum sellin' Cd, I was a baby, maybe I was just a couple of months, my faggot father

must have had his pantie's up in a bunch, cause he split, I wonder if he even kissed me goodbye,

no I don't on second thought, I just fuckin' wished he would die, I look at Hailie and I

couldn't picture leavin' her side, even if I hated Kim, I grit my teeth and I'd try, to make it

work with her at least for Hailie's sake, I maybe made some mistakes but i'm only human, but i'm

man enough to face them today, what I did was stupid, no doubt it was dumb, but the smartest

shit I did was take them bullets out of that gun, cause id'a killed 'em, shit I would have shot

Kim and him both, it's my life, i'd like to welcome y'all to the Eminem show...

[CHORUS]

Now I would never diss my own mama just to get recognition, take a second to listen who you

think this record is dissin', but put yourself in my position, just try to envision witnessin'

your Mama poppin' prescription pills in the kitchen, bitchin' that someone's always goin'

through her purse and shits missin', going through public housing systems, victim of

Munchausen's syndrome, my whole life I was made to believe I was sick when I wasn't 'til I grew

up, now I blew up, it makes you sick to ya' stomach, doesn't it, wasn't it the reason you made

that Cd for me, ma, so you could try to justify the way you treated me, ma, but guess what, your

gettin' older now and it's cold when your lonely, and Nathan's growing up so quick, he's gonna

know that your phoney, and Hailie's getting so big now, you should see her, she's beautiful, but

you'll never see her, she won't even be at your funeral, see what hurts me the most is you won't

admit you was wrong, bitch, do your song, keep tellin' yourself that you was a mom, but how dare

you try to take what you didn't help me to get, you selfish bitch, I hope you fuckin' burn in

hell for this shit, remember when Ronnie died and you said you wished it was me, well guess

what, I am dead, dead to you as can be...

[CHORUS]

Eminem - My Name Is

[Chorus: repeat 2X]

Hi! My name is.. (what?) My name is.. (who?)

My name is.. [scratches] Slim Shady

Hi! My name is.. (huh?) My name is.. (what?)

My name is.. [scratches] Slim Shady

Ahem.. excuse me!

Can I have the attention of the class 

for one second?

[Eminem]

Hi kids! Do you like violence? (Yeah yeah yeah!)

Wanna see me stick Nine Inch Nails through each one of my eyelids? (Uh-huh!)

Wanna copy me and do exactly like I did? (Yeah yeah!)

Try 'cid and get fucked up worse that my life is? (Huh?)

My brain's dead weight, I'm tryin to get my head straight

but I can't figure out which Spice Girl I want to impregnate (Ummmm..)

And Dr. Dre said, "Slim Shady you a basehead!"

Uh-uhhh! "So why's your face red? Man you wasted!"

Well since age twelve, I've felt like I'm someone else

Cause I hung my original self from the top bunk with a belt

Got pissed off and ripped Pamela Lee's tits off

And smacked her so hard I knocked her clothes backwards like Kris Kross

I smoke a fat pound of grass and fall on my ass

faster than a fat bitch who sat down too fast

C'mere slut! (Shady, wait a minute, that's my girl dog!)

I don't give a fuck, God sent me to piss the world off!

[Chorus]

[Eminem]

My English teacher wanted to have sex with me in Junior High

The only problem was... he was a guy

I smacked him in his face with an eraser, chased him with a stapler

and stapled his nuts to a stack of papers (Owwwwwwww!)

Walked in the strip club, had my jacket zipped up

Flashed the bartender, then stuck my dick in the tip cup

Extraterrestrial, running over pedestrians

In a space ship while they screamin at me: "LET'S JUST BE FRIENDS!"

Ninety-nine percent of my life I was lied to

I just found out my mom does more dope than I do (Damn!)

I told her I'd grow up to be a famous rapper

Make a record about doin drugs and name it after her (Oh thank you!)

You know you blew up when the women rush your stands

and try to touch your hands like some screamin Usher fans (Aaahhhhhh!)

This guy at White Castle asked for my autograph

(Dude, can I get your autograph?)

So I signed it: 'Dear Dave, thanks for the support, ASSHOLE!'

[Chorus]

[Eminem]

Stop the tape! This kid needs to be locked away! (Get him!)

Dr. Dre, don't just stand there, OPERATE!

I'm not ready to leave, it's too scary to die (Fuck that!)

I'll have to be carried inside the cemetery and buried alive

(Huh yup!) Am I comin or goin? I can barely decide

I just drank a fifth of vodka -- dare me to drive? (Go ahead)

All my life I was very deprived

I ain't had a woman in years, and my palms are too hairy to hide

(Whoops!) Clothes ripped like the Incredible Hulk (hachhh-too)

I spit when I talk, I'll fuck anything that walks (C'mere)

When I was little I used to get so hungry I would throw fits

HOW YOU GONNA BREAST FEED ME MOM? (WAH!)

YOU AIN'T GOT NO TITS! (WAHHH!)

I lay awake and strap myself in the bed 

Put a bulletproof vest on and shoot myself in the head (BANG!)

I'm steamin mad (Arrrggghhh!) 

And by the way when you see my dad? (Yeah?)

Tell him that I slit his throat, in this dream I had

[Chorus]

Eminem - The Real Slim Shady

[Eminem]

May I have your attention please?

May I have your attention please?

Will the real Slim Shady please stand up?

I repeat, will the real Slim Shady please stand up?

We're gonna have a problem here..

Y'all act like you never seen a white person before

Jaws all on the floor like Pam, like Tommy just burst in the door

and started whoopin her ass worse than before

they first were divorce, throwin her over furniture (Ahh!)

It's the return of the... "Ah, wait, no way, you're kidding, 

he didn't just say what I think he did, did he?"

And Dr. Dre said... nothing you idiots! 

Dr. Dre's dead, he's locked in my basement! (Ha-ha!)

Feminist women love Eminem

[*vocal turntable: chigga chigga chigga*] 

"Slim Shady, I'm sick of him

Look at him, walkin around grabbin his you-know-what

Flippin the you-know-who," "Yeah, but he's so cute though!"

Yeah, I probably got a couple of screws up in my head loose

But no worse, than what's goin on in your parents' bedrooms

Sometimes, I wanna get on TV and just let loose, but can't

but it's cool for Tom Green to hump a dead moose

"My bum is on your lips, my bum is on your lips"

And if I'm lucky, you might just give it a little kiss

And that's the message that we deliver to little kids

And expect them not to know what a woman's clitoris is

Of course they gonna know what intercourse is

By the time they hit fourth grade

They got the Discovery Channel don't they?

"We ain't nothing but mammals.." Well, some of us cannibals

who cut other people open like cantaloupes [SLURP]

But if we can hump dead animals and antelopes

then there's no reason that a man and another man can't elope

[*EWWW!*] But if you feel like I feel, I got the antidote

Women wave your pantyhose, sing the chorus and it goes

[Chorus: Eminem (repeat 2X)]

I'm Slim Shady, yes I'm the real Shady

All you other Slim Shadys are just imitating

So won't the real Slim Shady please stand up,

please stand up, please stand up?

[Eminem]

Will Smith don't gotta cuss in his raps to sell his records;

well I do, so fuck him and fuck you too!

You think I give a damn about a Grammy?

Half of you critics can't even stomach me, let alone stand me

"But Slim, what if you win, wouldn't it be weird?"

Why? So you guys could just lie to get me here?

So you can, sit me here next to Britney Spears?

Shit, Christina Aguilera better switch me chairs

so I can sit next to Carson Daly and Fred Durst

and hear 'em argue over who she gave head to first

You little bitch, put me on blast on MTV

"Yeah, he's cute, but I think he's married to Kim, hee-hee!"

I should download her audio on MP3 

and show the whole world how you gave Eminem VD [AHHH!]

I'm sick of you little girl and boy groups, all you do is annoy me

so I have been sent here to destroy you [bzzzt]

And there's a million of us just like me

who cuss like me; who just don't give a fuck like me

who dress like me; walk, talk and act like me

and just might be the next best thing but not quite me!

[Chorus]

[Eminem]

I'm like a head trip to listen to, cause I'm only givin you 

things you joke about with your friends inside your living room

The only difference is I got the balls to say it

in front of y'all and I don't gotta be false or sugarcoated at all

I just get on the mic and spit it 

and whether you like to admit it [*ERR*] I just shit it

better than ninety percent of you rappers out can

Then you wonder how can kids eat up these albums like valiums

It's funny; cause at the rate I'm goin when I'm thirty

I'll be the only person in the nursin home flirting

Pinchin nurses asses when I'm jackin off with Jergens

And I'm jerkin but this whole bag of Viagra isn't working

And every single person is a Slim Shady lurkin

He could be workin at Burger King, spittin on your onion rings

[*HACH*] Or in the parkin lot, circling

Screaming "I don't give a fuck!" 

with his windows down and his system up

So, will the real Shady please stand up?

And put one of those fingers on each hand up?

And be proud to be outta your mind and outta control

and one more time, loud as you can, how does it go?

[Chorus 4X]

[Eminem]

Ha ha

Guess there's a Slim Shady in all of us

Fuck it, let's all stand up

Eminem feat. Sia - Guts Over Fear

Feels like a close, it’s coming to

Fuck am I gonna do?

It's too late to start over

This is the only thing I, thing I know

Sometimes I feel like all I ever do is

Find different ways to word the same, old song

Ever since I came along

From the day the song called ‘’Hi! My Name Is’’ dropped

Started thinking my name was fall

Cause anytime things went wrong

I was the one who they would blame it on

The media made me the equivalent of a modern-day Genghis Kahn

Tried to argue it was only entertainment, dawg

Gangsta? Naw, courageous balls

Had to change my style, they said I'm way too soft

And I sound like AZ and Nas

out came the claws

And the thing’s been out since then

But up until the instant that I’ve been against it

It was ingrained in me that I wouldn’t amount to a shitstain I thought

No wonder I had to unlearn everything that my brain was taught

Do I really belong in this game? I pondered

I just wanna play my part, should I make waves or not?

So back and forth in my brain the tug of war wages on

And I don’t wanna seem ungrateful or disrespect

the artform I was raised upon

But sometimes you gotta take a loss

And have people rub it in your face before you get made pissed off

And keep pluggin’, it’s your only outlet

And your only outfit, so you know they gonna talk about it

Better find a way to counter it quick and make it, ah

Feel like I’ve already said this a kabillion eighty times

How many times can I say the same thing different ways that rhyme?

What I really wanna say is, is there anyone else who can relate to my story?

Bet you feel the same way I felt when I was in the same place you are,

when I was afraid to…

Afraid to make a single sound

Afraid I will never find a way out, out, out

Afraid I never before

I didn’t wanna go another round

An angry mans power will shut you up

Trip wires fill this house with tip-toe love

Run out of excuses with every word

So here I am and I will not run

Guts over fear, the time is here

Guts over fear, I shall not tear

For all the times I let you push me around and push me down

Guts over fear, guts over fear

Feels like a close, it’s coming to

Fuck am I gonna do?

It's too late to start over

This is the only thing I, thing I know

It’s like I was there once, single parents

Hate your appearance, did you struggle to find your place in this world?

And the pain spawns all the anger on

But it wasn’t until I put the pain in songs learned who to aim it on

That I made a spark, started to spit hard as shit

Learned how to harness it while the reins were off

And there was a lot of bizarre shit, but the crazy part

Was soon as I stopped saying "I gave a fuck"

Haters started to appreciate my art

And it just breaks my heart to look at all the pain I’ve caused

But what am I gonna do when the rage is gone?

The lights go out in the trailer park

And the window that was closing and there’s nowhere else I can go with flows in

And I’m frozen cause there’s no more emotion for me to pull from

Just a bunch of playful songs that I made for fun

So to the break of dawn here I go recycling the same old song

But I’d rather make “Not Afraid 2”

than another make mothafuckin’ “We Made You” uh

Now I don’t wanna seem indulgent when I discuss my lows and my highs

My demise and my uprise, pray to God

I just opened enough eyes later on

Gave you the supplies and the tools to hopefully use it to make you strong

And enough to lift yourself up when you feel like I felt

Cause I can’t explain to y’all how dang exhausted my legs felt

Just having to balance my damn self

Those dang eggshells, I was made to walk

But thank you ma, ‘cause that gave me the

Strength to cause Shady-mania, so many empty that stadium

At least I made it out of that house and a found a place in this world

when the day was done

So this is for every kid who all’s they ever did was dreamt

that one day they would just get accepted

I represent him or her, or anyone similar you are the reason

that I made this song

Everything you're scared to say don't be afraid to say no more

From this day on forward, just let them a-holes talk

Take it with a grain of salt and eat their fucking faces off

The legend of the angry blonde lives on through you when I’m gone

And to think I was...

Afraid to make a single sound

Afraid I will never find a way out, out, out

Afraid I never before

I didn’t wanna go another round

An angry mans power will shut you up

Trip wires fill this house with tip-toe love

Run out of excuses with every word

So here I am and I will not run

Guts over fear, the time is here

Guts over fear, I shall not tear

For all the times I let you push me around and push me down

Guts over fear, guts over fear
