I don't believe in the idea that an octopus has eight legs.

You are probably very serious about what the other person has just said but not so serious about what you said.

How is it possible that at the end of the day, it becomes classed as being "the end of the day?"

If we gotta dumb down our style and ABC it, then so be it..

I hurt my foot on the pillow. Ouch!

I don't really have the time of day to be reiterating the fact that I have ten toes..

They seemed a bit confused when I told them I did not have an opinion on being perplexed.

Absolutely pathetic

Is this really the way to get to the theatre hall? I thought you had to turn left here.

I told you I lived in a trailer but I was lying because I really live in a dustbin.

is it you in the photo?

You can't talk to me as though I'm some sort of pigeon when I am in fact a labrador..

Yes; you are correct when you say I am a crane fly..

I perceive it as an end I am arriving at..

What the hell will I do?

It is too non-early to begin again.

This is the one individual matter I am aware of..

what is this thread supposed to be about?

[Bridge: Eminem]
Feels like a close, it’s coming to
Bleep am I gonna do?
It's too late to start over
This is the only thing I, thing I know

[Verse 1: Eminem]
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 Fault, cause any time things went wrong
I was the one who they would blame it on
The media made me the e-quivalent of a modern-day Genghis Khan
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 fangs been out since then
But up until the instant that I’ve went against it
It was ingrained in me that I wouldn’t amount to a shitstain I thought
No wonder I had to unlearn everything 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 plugging, 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, if there's anyone else that 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…

[Hook: Sia]
I was a...
Afraid to make a single sound
Afraid I would never find a way out, out, out
Afraid I'd never be found
I didn’t wanna go another round
An angry man's power will shut you up
Trip wires fill this house with tip-toe love
Run out of excuses for every word
So here I am and I will not run
Guts over fear, the time is here
Guts over fear, I shed a tear
For all the times I let you push me around
And let you keep me down
Now I got, guts over fear, guts over fear

[Bridge: Eminem]

[Verse 2: Eminem]
I know what 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 Bleep
Haters started to appreciate my art
And it just breaks my heart to look at all the pain I caused
But what am I gonna do when the rage is gone?
And the lights go out in that trailer park?
And the window is closing and there’s nowhere else that I can go with flows
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 rather make “Not Afraid 2” than make another motherfucking “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
And gave you the supplies and the tools to hopefully use that'll make you strong
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 dang self
But on eggshells I was made to walk
But thank you, ma, ‘cause that gave me the
Strength to cause Shady-mania, so when they empty that stadium
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 alls they ever did was dreamt of one day just getting accepted
I represent him or her, anyone similar, you are the reason that I made this song
And everything you're scared to say don't be afraid to say no more
From this day 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... gone

[Hook: Sia]


This is the first single off ShadyXV, a collaborative album from many Shady Records artists due November 24th.

On this track Eminem contemplates his legacy and career. He dwells on the feeling that he has no emotion left and that he is singing the same old song. He regrets the pain he has caused others with his pen and he expresses the feeling that his career is coming to a close.

Just like “Beautiful Pain,” this song both features Sia and was produced by Emile.

It is used in the trailer for The Equalizer, and plays during the credits.

Also note that he uses the same rhyme scheme throughout both verses.

This is definitely a look back at his career, but maybe it is also a look to the future for him and his music.

Everybody talking about he will stop making music. He will probably never stop making music. Music runs through his vains. He will always be raping and releasing new songs till he is really old to do it. But he has learned the game through all the years and he learned it form the best. So boys and girls. Stop crying about he is gone quit, Cu’s it probably won’t happen. Anther things are concerts. He will stop doing concerts off-course. But music. Hell No! Greetz.

Despite this verse being an obvious reference to Eminem’s rap career, there is arguably a double entendre at play. It is widely known that Eminem’s romantic past has been troubled, strewn with a string of tumultuous relationships.
In addition to recognising his career could possibly be coming to an end & similarly realising it is his biggest strength, Eminem is accepting the reality that he could end up spending the rest of his days without a life partner. Between famously troubled relationship with Kim, controversy with Mariah Carey & the untimely death of Britanny Murphy with whom he shared a short term romantic flare, Eminem questions himself: “Bleep am I gonna do?”
His chances at rekindling a relationship with ex-wife Kim Mathers seem nonexistent & a significant part of Eminem wishes he could start over, the words “let’s start over” many lovers have uttered.
However he recognises this is impossible: “It’s too late to start over.” Finally, at the end of this thought process Eminem accepts that at some level destructive relationships are all he knows & he may never find lasting love in either rap or a relationship.

Has anyone else noticed how he starts “all i ever do is find different words to rhyme the same old song” — and then goes on to use “the same old song” as the end rhyme for the entire song? Pretty cool, esp with all the internal rhymes tossed in.

Another very interesting element in this song is how he mentions that he his recycling the same old songs as he makes multiple references to number of different songs that he’s written before.

SHADYXV isnt going to really be like this, one half of it is the Greatest hits, due to the release of the album being cause of the 15th shady records anniversay, and the other half will be many collaborations, with D12, Bad Meets Eveil, Some with Sia, as with this song. It will be an amazing albumb, and this song will be the start of it.

Em will NEVER quit…everytime he steps in the booth, songs like this are made and released. Shady XV will definitely be a blockbuster, I know I’ll be pickin it up day one.
