[Intro: Obie Trice]

Obie Trice! Real name, no gimmicks (*record scratch*)

[Refrain 1: Eminem]

Two trailer park girls become 'circular the outside

'Round the outside, 'round the outside

Two trailer park girls go 'round the outside

'Round the outside, 'round the exterior

[Refrain 2: Eminem]

Guess who's dorsum, back again

Guess who'southward back, guess who's back

Judge who's back

[Poesy 1: Eminem]

I've created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to

See Marshall no more, they want Shady, I'm chopped liver

Well, if yous want Shady, this is what I'll give ya

A petty flake of weed mixed with some difficult liquor

Some vodka that'll jump start my heart quicker

Than a shock when I get shocked at the hospital

By the doc when I'thousand not co-operating

When I'm rocking the table while he's operating (Hey!)

You waited this long, now finish debating

'Cause I'thou back, I'm on the rag and ovulating

I know that you got a job, Ms. Cheney

Just your husband's middle problem's complicating

Then the FCC won't let me be

Or let me be me, so let me see

They endeavor to shut me downwards on MTV

But it feels so empty without me

Then, come on and dip, bum on your lips

Fuck that! Cum on your lips and some on your tits

And get ready, 'cause this shit'due south about to get heavy

I but settled all my lawsuits—fuck you, Debbie!

[Chorus: Eminem]

Now this looks like a chore for me

So everybody, but follow me

'Cause we demand a footling controversy

'Cause it feels then empty without me

I said this looks like a task for me

So everybody, just follow me

'Crusade we demand a little controversy

'Crusade it feels so empty without me

[Verse two: Eminem]

Piffling hellions, kids feeling rebellious

Embarrassed their parents still heed to Elvis

They first feeling similar prisoners helpless

'Til someone comes along on a mission and yells, "Bowwow!"

A visionary, vision is scary

Could beginning a revolution, polluting the airwaves

A insubordinate, so just let me revel and bask

In the fact that I got everyone kissing my ass (*smack*)​​

And it'due south a disaster, such a ending

For you lot to run across then damn much of my ass—you asked for me?

Well, I'm back, na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

Fix your bent antenna, tune information technology in, and so I'm gonna

Enter in, and up under your skin like a splinter

The heart of attention, back for the winter

I'm interesting, the best matter since wrestling

Infesting in your child's ears and nesting

Testing, "Attention please"

Experience the tension presently equally someone mentions me

Here'due south my ten cents, my two cents is free

A nuisance, who sent? Yous sent for me?

[Chorus: Eminem]

At present this looks like a chore for me

And so everybody, simply follow me

'Cause we need a niggling controversy

'Cause it feels so empty without me

I said this looks like a job for me

So everybody, simply follow me

'Cause we need a picayune controversy

'Cause information technology feels so empty without me

[Poesy 3: Eminem]

A tisk-information technology a task-it, I'll go tit for tat with

Anybody who'southward talking "this shit, that shit"

Chris Kirkpatrick, you lot can get your ass kicked

Worse than them niggling Limp Bizkit bastards

And Moby? You tin can become stomped by Obie

You 36-year-quondam baldheaded fag, blow me

Yous don't know me, you're likewise old, let become

It'due south over, nobody listens to techno

Now let's get, just give me the indicate

I'll be there with a whole list total of new insults

I've been dope, suspenseful with a pencil

Ever since Prince turned himself into a symbol

But sometimes the shit just seems

Everybody only wants to discuss me

So this must hateful I'chiliad icky

Only information technology's just me, I'm but obscene

Though I'yard not the first male monarch of controversy

I am the worst thing since Elvis Presley

To practise blackness music so selfishly

And use it to get myself wealthy (Hey!)

There's a concept that works

Twenty meg other white rappers emerge

Only no matter how many fish in the sea

It'd exist so empty without me

[Chorus: Eminem]

Now this looks like a task for me

And then everybody, just follow me

'Cause we demand a trivial controversy

'Cause it feels then empty without me

I said this looks similar a job for me

So everybody, but follow me

'Cause we need a little controversy

'Crusade it feels so empty without me

[Outro: Eminem]

Hum dei dei la la, la la la la la

La la la la la, la la la la

Hum dei dei la la, la la la la la

La la la la la, la la la la

Kids!

• Obie Trice! Existent name, no gimmicks (*record ...:

  This is taken straight from the beginning of Obie Trice song "Rap Proper noun". It'due south a shout-out to the guy who was Eminem's protégé at the fourth dimension. Information technology's too a promotion – Obie's anthology was coming out soon and he was the next artist to be released on Shady.

  When Obie Trice performed once for D12 he introduced himself as 'Obie 1', roughly based off Star Wars character 'Obi-Wan'. Proof then replied 'naa, real name, no gimmicks.' From then on, he went by Obie Trice.

  It is adept to annotation that the song before "Without Me" on The Eminem Testify Drips, features Obie Trice on it.

• Two trailer park girls go 'round the outside ...:

  A reference to the song "Buffalo Gals" by Malcolm McLaren, who was an early trailblazer for Caucasians in the hip-hop world, like Eminem is now. The original lyric is "two Buffalo gals become round the exterior", which Em alters to reflect his white trash upbringing.

• Guess who'due south back, back again:

  This song is the beginning unmarried from the album The Eminem Show, released in 2002. Em'south previous album, The Marshall Mathers LP, was released in 2000, and The Slim Shady LP came in 1999. And equally soon as nosotros hear the Dr. Dre beats, nasally voice, and intricate lyrics, nosotros know Slim Shady is back.

• tell a friend:

  Eminem is presumably consciously making a goofy, fun little rhyme with this line (he didn't write information technology to be the epitome of lyrical ability, although he is an fantabulous lyricist), and he is perhaps making fun of advertisements that excitedly encourage you to "tell a friend!" about the product or service being advertised.

• Guess who's back, guess who'southward dorsum:

  This song is the first unmarried from the album The Eminem Testify, released in 2002. Em'south previous anthology, The Marshall Mathers LP, was released in 2000, and The Slim Shady LP came in 1999. And as soon as nosotros hear the Dr. Dre beats, nasally vox, and intricate lyrics, we know Slim Shady is back.

• I've created a monster, 'cause nobody wants ...:

  Using the famous "I've created a monster" line taken from Frankenstein, Eminem explains how on his starting time major label album he created the evil modify-ego "Slim Shady", which he at present feels fans prefer over his actual personality, something he did not intend (his real proper name is Marshall).

  This makes Em feel equally though people value him solely as an entertainer, rather than as a human beingness ("chopped liver" is slang for "useless").

• Well, if yous desire Shady, this is what I'll ...:

  Em reveals that his change ego is really just his personality when he's boozer and loftier (curiously, also the reason most Rap Genius editors write under a pseudonym)

  Since he has struggled with drug bug throughout his life, we have usually seen more of the "Shady" side of Marshall's personality in his music

• Some vodka that'll jump start my heart ...:

  Vodka can get his heart pumping fast, much similar a yard volts of electricity from a defibrillator. Some other famous Eminem extended metaphor, he doesn't simply say vodka gets his eye pumping like a defib, he describes a full scene that gives the imagery of doctors trying to shock him back to life, but he is still fighting them off because he doesn't care virtually his health.

• When I'thousand rocking the table while he's ...:

  This shows a total disregard for his ain rubber, which is pretty standard behavior for Slim Shady. This is just ane of several songs where he'due south made medical/doc references, ane notable being "I Need a Doctor".

• Now this looks like a job for me:

  Em is casting himself as a superhero. He does this blatantly in the music video for "Without Me" when he dresses up every bit, of all people, Robin (Batman's sidekick). Merely in this case he is channeling his inner Superman, since that is Clark Kent'southward catchphrase when switching into the Man of Steel. Without controversy, everything seems to be really irksome in his eyes. So he uses himself as target of the FCC and sensors to create some "controversy". Because life "feels and then empty, without [him]".

• 'Cause nosotros need a fiddling controversy:

  Con-tro-ver-sy; [kon-truh-vur-meet]; substantive-plural; 1. a public dispute, contend, or contention concerning a matter of opinion. two. Eminem.

• 'Crusade it feels so empty without me:

  Subsequently releasing The Slim Shady LP in 1999 and The Marshall Mathers LP in 2000 – both received by some with serious controversy over lyrical content – Eminem waited a full 2 years to release Without Me equally the lead single in 2002. During those 2 year there were really no musical controversies worth mentioning, and it is this Slim Shady is referring to, with a sly smile no doubt.

• Little hellions, kids feeling rebellious:

  The way that the media describes Eminem's fans. In the music video, the primary plot is Eminem and Dre dressing upward as Batman and Robin and trying to terminate a "rebellious" little child from buying The Eminem Show, parodying how critics view preventing kids from hearing his music as a "heroic" human action.

• Embarrassed their parents still heed to Elvis:

  Although Elvis was controversial to many of the parents in the 50's and 60'southward, that controversy somewhen died out. Now stone and roll is viewed as "quondam people music" instead of the music for rebellious youth. Hip-hop inherited a lot of that rebelliousness, so Eminem is pointing out the cyclical nature of controversy.

  As well, Eminem is aware that a lot of people compare him to Elvis, and it's an authentic comparing in some aspects. They both achieved superstardom in a predominately black genre, and were both defendant of sending bad messages to the youth. Eminem frequently refers to himself as the new Elvis, and dresses up like him in his music videos.

• They start feeling like prisoners helpless ...:

  Kids feel similar they are existence trapped past their parents and their old school customs, so something new and vulgar like Eminem gives them motivation to rebel.

• A visionary, vision is scary:

  Eminem depicts himself as a visionary; he is very intelligent and has a plan for the future. The problem is, the vision that he has is going to upset a lot of parents, so the thought that someone like Eminem is going to control the future scares them.

• Could get-go a revolution, polluting the airwaves:

  Eminem knows that his critics view his music as unsafe, so much so that they remember putting it on the radio is "polluting" the minds of its listeners. It isn't surprising that the airwaves never really gave Slim Shady much airtime, but that has inverse in the 2010's.

• In the fact that I got everyone kissing my ass ...:

  Irony. Everyone kisses it, but no one wants to look at it. He's saying that everyone gives him attention past being offended past him and complaining, which is ironic also.

• A tisk-it a task-it:

  "A-tisket, A-tasket" is a nursery rhyme, which was also the basis of a song by Ella Fitzgerald.

• Chris Kirkpatrick, you tin get your ass kicked:

  Em is dissing Kirkpatrick from 'Northward Sync because he was the only member of the ring to retaliate when Em made fun of them in his earlier years. Merely you can't actually retaliate when you look like this:

• Worse than them trivial Limp Bizkit bastards:

  This line added fuel to the fire in the Eminem and Limp Bizkit feud. They used to be friends, until DJ Lethal told TRL that "Everlast would definitely win" in a fight between Eminem and Everlast.

• And Moby? You tin get stomped by Obie Y'all ...:

  Only pop stars are worthy of direct attack, so Em symbolically sends a minion, rapper Obie Trice, to beat up the electronic music artist Moby.

• You don't know me, y'all're as well old, let ...:

  He doesn't look old people to sympathize or experience his music and he doesn't really want them to.

  This is directed at Moby in the verse but can also be seen as against the balance of American adults that are against him.

• nobody listens to techno:

  This line got remixed into a ton of techno songs. It's really a further insult because Moby fans will get to neat pains to tell you he'southward not a techno artist.

• It's over:

  Dissing Moby by saying his career is over

• You waited this long, now finish debating:

  There was a 2 twelvemonth wait between Em's last album, The Marshall Mathers LP and his one, The Eminem Testify. The MMLP was huge, just some critics doubted that he would ever be able to pull annihilation off close to that caliber once more. They figured the ii year wait meant he was out of ideas. Merely at present that he'southward back all over the airwaves and running the rap game again, it's time to stop debating if Eminem fell off.

• I know that you got a task, Ms. Cheney But your ...:

  Lynne Cheney, as the wife of Vice President Dick Cheney, was the 2nd Lady of the United states of america. In this role, she spoke out against violent and sexually explicit lyrics in popular music, virtually notably those of Eminem.

• So the FCC won't permit me be Or let me be me, ...:

  The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) regulates interstate and international communications, including radio. The FCC won't allow him play his songs; they edit and conscience them.

• They try to shut me downwards on MTV Merely it feels so ...:

  The backlash against Em's lyrics included many attempts to censor his music, including MTV (this was when MTV played music videos).

  Only, without Em, fifty-fifty the critics feel the empty space he used to make full. They hate to like him, but even Em's harshest critics know he means a lot to the rap game, and so they can't just completely close him down.

• So, come on and dip, bum on your lips:

  Since he's discussing censorship, Em references his own statement almost Tom Greenish doing nastier things than he does on television

• Fuck that! Cum on your lips and some on your tits:

  Fuck the FCC shit, now Em'southward nearly to say one of the greatest things. In the clean version of this song, the first line has been changed with "jump back, jiggle her hip and wiggle a fleck".

• And go ready, 'cause this shit's about to ...:

  Yet some other insult directed at Debbie Mathers, Eminem's mom. He was sued by her for the corporeality of $10,000,000 because of defamation, which was settled before he recorded this song. Thus, he feels free to swear at her, considering she ended upward only being awarded $ane,600 or so in damages after legal fees.

• Well, I'm dorsum, na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na:

  Em sings along to the "Batman" TV show theme song.

  In the music video, Em dresses similar Batman'southward sidekick Robin, while Dr. Dre looks at him thinking "this is my fucking protege?"

• Fix your bent antenna:

  At the time this vocal came out, radio applied science was nevertheless improving so many radios still had long telescoping antennas every bit such below that were prone to angle which would cause the radio signal to get distorted

• The centre of attending:

  Everyone (the media, fans, politicians, etc.) is perpetually watching everything Eminem does, particularly because of his popularity and controversial lyrics.

• back for the wintertime:

  Dorsum for the winter: Not simply is he back on your full general consciousness for the season, only Em'south come dorsum to treat the scene the aforementioned way y'all would a rose; to prune it, get rid of the expressionless forest, and keep it in the right shape. No one else but Slim could put his contemporaries through such torturous paces.

• the best thing since wrestling:

  This line refers to the negative aspect of wrestling towards children. Which ties into the next line. I mean I could be incorrect but I practise not call back a lot of traditional parents would want their kids watching it, my mom didn't. This song was likewise created just after the WWF's "Attitude Era" where they often cursed, displayed nudity, and much more adult textile. Parents protested against them during this fourth dimension probably every bit much as they accept Eminem.

• Infesting in your kid'due south ears and nesting:

  Mocking the critical parents who say Em'due south lyrics are horrible and should non exist for kids. Em compares his lyrics to an parasitic infection.

• Here's my x cents, my two cents is free:

  The "ii cents" refers to Eminem'due south liberty of speech communication, and then he expresses his opinions freely and frequently.

• A nuisance, who sent? You sent for me?:

  Em'south commenting on how he's considered overplayed and annoying by those who don't capeesh his music, but the irony states itself in that information technology is the mainstream audience that causes him to be as played as often every bit he is.

• At present let's become, just requite me the signal:

  The bat symbol – Eminem and Dr. Dre dress up equally Batman and Robin in the music video for this vocal

• I've been dope, suspenseful with a pencil ...:

  He's been good at rap ("dope") and captivating people with the lyrics he writes ("suspenseful with a pencil") since 1993, when the musician Prince inverse his name to an unpronounceable symbol

• But sometimes the shit just seems Everybody only ...:

  Even though Eminem has been writting incredible verses since 1993, everybody just seems to care more than about arguing that he's a bad influence.

  Not the outset fourth dimension that Em has brought upward that subject, in fact, it may be one of the things he raps about the nearly. The subject of the song Who Knew is basically to mock people who believe that his music causes people to do crazy stuff. Also in Role Model, through sarcasm, he tells kids that he is not a skilful "role model" and they shouldn't do the things he does.

• So this must mean I'm disgusting:

  Eminem rhymes disgusting past syllable, so that information technology sounds like talk over-ting. He figures that all this talk about him being disgusting just means that people similar to talk almost ("discuss") him.

• Though I'm not the first king of controversy:

  Many before him have broken barriers in music; he'due south not the first to do then

  Accent on the word "rex" – Elvis was known every bit "The King."

• I am the worst thing since Elvis Presley To do ...:

  Elvis Presley, like many white musicians of his time, has been accused of incorporating (or stealing, depending on who you ask) elements of black music and selling it to the masses.

  It was also adequately common then for white musicians to rework songs originally made by black musicians and make much more money from them than the original artist.

  In fact, Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller wrote Hound Canis familiaris and gave it to Big Mama Thorton. They felt Elvis could make more than money off it…which he did. In that fourth dimension vocaliser/songwriters were almost non existent. Songwriters often passed songs on to other singers who they believed could make more than money off it. "Hound Dog" was besides recorded by 5 country singers in 1953 alone, and over 26 times through 1964.
