Eminem Lyrics

 
"Eminem's "Without Me" is a multi-faceted song that serves as both a reinyroduction of his alter ego, Slim Shady, and a critique of the music industry and society's perceptions of him. The song, released on May 21, 2002, as part of his album "The Eminem Show," quickly became a hit, showcasing Eminem's critical view of his influence on the music scene and his response to critics and controversies surrounding his career​​. Eminem utilizes "Without Me" to highlight his role in the music industry, likening himself to Elvis Presley in faving criticisms for succeeding in genres traditionally dominated by black artists. He also addresses his legal troubles and disputes with celebrities, using humor and sharp lyrics to comment on censorship, freedom of expression, and his personal experiences with fame​​​​. The song also delves into Eminem's frustrations with the music industry, aiming satirical jabs at figures like Chris Kirkpatrick and Moby, whom Eminem viewed as critical of his work for various reasons. These disses serve to underscore Eminem's contentious relationship with other celebrities and his defiance against criticism​​. "Without Me" is notable not just for its lyrical content but also for its successful music video, directed by Joseph Kahn. The video won a Grammy for Best Music Video in 2003 and several MTV Video Music Awards, featuring Eminem and Dr. Dre in comic book-style roles. The video complements the song's themes by parodying media, censorship, and Eminem's own controversies​​. Overall, "Without Me" is a reflection of Eminem's complex relationship with fame, his critique of the entertainment industry, and his assertion of the importance of his voice in the rap genre. It's a song that blends humor, critique, and personal reflection, cementing Eminem's status as a pivotal figure in modern music​​​​.

Without me (clean version) Lyrics

Without me (clean version) by Eminem


[Obie Trice]
"Obie Trice, Real Name No Gimmicks..."

[Eminem]
Two trailer park girls go round the outside,
round the outside, round the outside.
Two trailer park girls go round the outside,
round the outside, round the outside.

[Female Voice]
"Ooooohhhhh!"

[Eminem]
Guess who's back, back again
Shady's back, tell a friend
Guess who's back, guess who's back,
guess who's back, guess who's back,
guess who's back, guess who's back,
guess who's back...

I've created a monster, cuz nobody wants to
See Marshall no more they want Shady
I'm chopped liver
Well if you want Shady, then this is what I'll give ya
A little bit of me mixed with some hard liquor
Some vodka that will jumpstart my heart quicker
Then a shock when I get shocked at the hospital
By the Dr. when I'm not cooperating
When I'm rocking the table while he's operating "Hey"
You waited this long to stop debating
Cuz I'm back, I'm on the rag and ovulating
I know that you got a job Ms. Cheney
But your husband's heart problem is complicating
So the FCC won't let me be
Yo let me be me so let me see
They tried to shut me down on MTV
But it feels so empty without me
So come on dip, bum on your lips
jump back, jiggle her hip and wiggle a bit
And get ready cuz this is about to get heavy
I just settled all my lawsuits, "_uck you Debbie!"

Now this looks like a job for me
So everybody just follow me
Cuz we need a little controversy,
Cuz it feels so empty without me

I said this looks like a job for me
So everybody just follow me
Cuz we need a little controversy,
Cuz it feels so empty without me

Little hellions, kids feeling rebellious
Embarrassed, their parents still listen to Elvis
They start feeling like prison is helpless,
Til someone comes along on a mission and yells "_itch"
A visionary, vision is scary, could start a revolution,
Pollutin' the air waves a rebel
So let me just revel and bask,
In the fact that I got everyone kissing my a--
And it's a disaster such a catastrophe
For you to see so damn much of my a-- you ask for me?
Well I'm back (*Batman Noise*) fix your bent antenna
Tune it in and then I'm gonna enter
Into the front of your skin like a splinter
The center of attention back for the winter
I'm interesting, the best thing since wrestling
Infesting in your kids ears and nesting
Testing "Attention Please"
Feel the tension soon as soon someone mentions me
Here's my 10 cents, my 2 cents is free
A nuisance, who sent, you sent for me?

Now this looks like a job for me
So everybody just follow me
Cuz we need a little controversy,
Cuz it feels so empty without me

I said this looks like a job for me
So everybody just follow me
Cuz we need a little controversy,
Cuz it feels so empty without me

A tisk-it a task-it,
I go tit for tat with anybody who's talking this & that sh_t
Chris Kirkpatrick, you can get your a-- kicked
Worse than them little Limp Bizkit a ards,
And Moby, you can get stomped by Obie,
You 36 year old bald headed scared ____ me
You don't know me, you're too old
Let go, it's over, nobody listens to techno
Now lets go, just give me the signal
I will be there with a whole list full of new insults
I've been dope, suspenseful with a pencil
Ever since Prince turned himself into a symbol
But sometimes man it just seems,
Everybody only wants to discuss me
So this must mean I'm disgusting,
But its just me I'm just obscene
Though I'm not the first king of controversy
I am the worst thing since Elvis Presley,
To do Black Music so selflessly
And use it to get myself worthy (Hey)
There's a concept that works
20 million other white rappers emerge
But no matter how many fish in the sea
It'll be so empty without me

Now this looks like a job for me
So everybody just follow me
Cuz we need a little controversy,
Cuz it feels so empty without me

I said this looks like a job for me
So everybody just follow me
Cuz we need a little controversy,
Cuz it feels so empty without me

Hum dei la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la
Hum dei la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la

"Kids!"
