Run Rabbit Run Lyrics
Run Rabbit Run Song Lyrics
Some days I just wanna up and call it quits,
I feel like I'm surrounded by a wall of bricks,
Everytime I go to get up I just fall in pits,
My life's like on great big ball of sh*t,
If I could just put it all into all I spit,
Stead of always tryin to swallow it,instead of starin at this wall and sh*t,
While I sit writers block sick of all this sh*t, can't call it, sh*t,
All I know is I'm about to hit the wall if I have to see another one of mom's alcoholic fits,
This is it, last straw, that's all, that's it,
I ain't dealin with another f**kin politic,
I'm like a skillet, bubblin until it filter's up,
I'm about to kill it, I can feel it buildin up,
Blow this building up, I've concealed enough,
My cup runneth over, I done filled it up,
The pen explodes and busts, ink spills my guts,
You think all I do is stand here and feel my nuts,
Well I'ma show you what, you gon feel my rush,
You don't feel it then it must be too real to touch,
Pill the dutch, I'm about to tear sh*t up,
Goosebumps, yea, I'ma make your hair sit up,
Yea sit up, I'ma tell you who I be,
I'ma make you hate me, cause you ain't me,
You ain't, it ain't too late to finally see,
What you closed minded f**ks were too blind to see,
Whoever finds me is gonna get a finder's fee, Out this world,
Ain't no one out they mind as me,
You need peace of mind, here's a piece of mine, all I need's a line,
But sometimes I don't always find the words to rhyme,
To express how I'm really feelin at that time,
Yea sometimes, sometimes, sometimes,
Just sometimes, it's always me, how dark can these hallways be,
The clock strikes midnight, one, two, then half past three,
This half ass rhyme with this half ass piece of paper,
I'm desperate at my task, if I could just get the rest of this sh*t off my chest again,
Stuck in this slump, can't think of nothin,
f**k I'm stuck, uh, wait, here comes somethin,
Nope, it's not good enough, scribble it out,
New pad, krinkle it up and throw the sh*t out,
I'm fizzlin out, thought I figured it out,
Ball's in my court but I'm scared to dribble it out,
I'm afraid, but why am I afraid, why am I slave to this trade,
Cyanide, I spit to the grave, real enough to rile you up,
Want me to filp it, I can rip it any style you want,
I'm a switch-hitter, b**ch, Jimmy Smith ain't a quitter,
I'ma sit until I get enough in me to finally hit a f**kin boilin point,
Put some oil in your joints, flipt the coin b**ch, come get destroyed,
An Emcee's worst dream, I make em tense,
They hate me, see me and shake like a chain-link fence,
By the looks of em you would swear that Jaws was comin,
By the screams of em you would swear I'm sawin someone,
By the way they're runnin you would swear the law was comin,
It's now or never, and tonight it's all or nothin,
Mama, Jimmy keeps leavin on us, he said he'd be back,
He pinky-promised, I don't think he's honest,
I'll be back baby, I just gotta beat this clock,
f**k this clock, I'ma make them eat this watch,
Don't believe me, watch, I'ma win this race,
And I'ma come back and rub my sh*t in your face, b**ch,
I found my nitch, you gon hear my voice
Till you sick of it, you ain't gonna have a choice,
If I gotta scream til I have half a lung,
If I have half a chance, I grab it,
Rabbit Run!

"Run Rabbit Run" by Eminem is a bare-knuckled, unfiltered dive into the mind of an artist struggling to survive in the music industry, likened to a merciless gladiator ring. Eminem navigates through themes of tenacity, defiance, and the ceaseless pursuit of dreams despite internal and external adversities, using intense, raw lyrical content.He begins by expressing his frustration and feeling of entrapment, metaphorically surrounded by a "wall of bricks." This imagery represents the stifling and hopelessness tied to his personal and professional struggles. Eminem yearns to channel all his frustrations and anger into his music rather than succumb to the pressures and the toxic environment around him, notably the struggle with his mother's alcoholism and the political aspects of the music scene.
At its heart, "Run Rabbit Run" is an anthem of overcoming odds, with Eminem employing vivid, descriptive language and imagery to portray a passionate individual who refuses to be silenced or subdued by his circumstances. The title, derived from a children's song, issues a clarion call to action, urging movement and determination.
The song touches on common fears of writer's block and mediocrity, showcasing Eminem's relentless quest for artistic authenticity and excellence. He vows not to let his voice be lost amidst his struggles but to rise above the noise and prove his detractors wrong. This determination is encapsulated in the lines where he intends to "make them feel my rush," asserting his influence on the industry and listeners with his unique talent and perspective.
Eminem also explores the idea of transformation and redemption through adversity. The metaphor "the pen explodes and busts, ink spills my guts" symbolizes a breakthrough in creativity, transforming pain and struggle into powerful lyrical expressions. This underscores the cathartic power of music and art in navigating personal turmoil.
In summary, "Run Rabbit Run" is more than a song; it's a narrative of struggle, empowerment, and perseverance, serving as an inspiration for those facing their own "walls of bricks." It's a powerful reminder of the potential to push through dark tunnels with will and determination, emerging into the light—a message that resonates with anyone on their personal journey to overcome their own 8 Mile Road.
