Feminist women love Eminem.
Look at him, walkin’ around, grabbin’ his you-know-what
Flippin’ the you-know-who,” “Yeah, but he’s so cute though”
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’re gonna know what intercourse is
By the time they hit fourth grade
Well, some of us cannibals who cut other people open like cantaloupes
But if we can hump dead animals and antelopes
Then there’s no reason that a man and another man can’t elope
But if you feel like I feel, I got the antidote
Women, wave your pantyhose, sing the Chorus, and it goes
Will Smith don’t gotta cuss in his raps to sell records (Nope)
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 stomach1 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?
Yo, 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
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 (Agh!)
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
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
Here he’s describing his songs as a trip to listen to.
If something like a song is a trip to listen to, it means it’s strange or entertaining2 and exciting. It gives you a sense of adventure. More precisely3, Eminem’s songs are a head trip; this means they’re mentally stimulating. For example, this movie was such a trip to watch!
I’m like a head trip to listen to, ‘cause I’m only givin’ you things you joke about with your friends inside your livin’ 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 sugarcoat it at all. I just get on the mic and spit it and whether you like to admit, I just shit it. Then you wonder: “How can kids eat up these albums like Valimus?” It’s funny, ‘cause at the rate I’m going, when I’m 30. I’ll be the only person in the nursing home flirting 4.
At the rate or speed at which his was going he thought that when he was 30, he would feel a lot older. Old enough to be in a nursing home.
And every single person is a Slim Shady lurking.
Slim Shady is Eminem’s alter ego he often impersonates in his old songs. This one is particular. Slim Shady’s main characteristic is not caring what other people thought about the things he had to say. He’s saying that every person has a slim shady lurking inside of them. That is, hiding and getting ready to come out.
Pinchin5’ nurse’s asses when I’m jacking off with Jergens
And I’m jerking, but this whole bag of **
** isn’t working
And every single person is a Slim Shady lurkin’
He could be working at Burger King, spittin’6 on your onion rings (Ch, puh)
Or in the parkin’ lot, circling7, 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?
