[Intro: Obie Trice]

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

[Refrain 1: Eminem]

Two trailer park girls go 'round the exterior

'Round the outside, 'round the outside

Ii trailer park girls go 'circular the exterior

'Circular the outside, 'round the outside

[Refrain 2: Eminem]

Judge who's back, back again

Guess who's back, estimate who'south back

Guess who'due south dorsum, guess who's back

Approximate who'due south back

[Verse 1: Eminem]

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

Run into Marshall no more, they want Shady, I'chiliad chopped liver

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

A piddling bit of weed mixed with some hard liquor

Some vodka that'll bound start my heart quicker

Than a shock when I become shocked at the hospital

Past the physician when I'm not co-operating

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

You waited this long, now stop debating

'Crusade I'1000 back, I'm on the rag and ovulating

I know that you got a job, Ms. Cheney

But your husband'south heart problem'due south complicating

Then the FCC won't permit me be

Or allow me be me, then let me see

They try to shut me downward on MTV

But it feels and then empty without me

And then, come on and dip, bum on your lips

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

And get ready, 'crusade this shit'south about to become heavy

I but settled all my lawsuits—fuck y'all, Debbie!

[Chorus: Eminem]

Now this looks like a job for me

So everybody, just follow me

'Cause we need a little controversy

'Cause it feels so empty without me

I said this looks like a chore for me

And then everybody, only follow me

'Crusade we need a piffling controversy

'Crusade it feels and so empty without me

[Verse 2: Eminem]

Petty hellions, kids feeling rebellious

Embarrassed their parents still listen to Elvis

They start feeling like prisoners helpless

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

A visionary, vision is scary

Could outset a revolution, polluting the airwaves

A rebel, so just let me revel and savour

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

And it's a disaster, such a catastrophe

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

Well, I'thou dorsum, na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

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

Enter in, and up under your skin like a splinter

The center of attending, back for the winter

I'grand interesting, the best thing since wrestling

Infesting in your kid's ears and nesting

Testing, "Attending please"

Experience the tension soon every bit someone mentions me

Here's my ten cents, my two cents is complimentary

A nuisance, who sent? You lot sent for me?

[Chorus: Eminem]

Now this looks like a job for me

And then everybody, just follow me

'Cause we need a picayune controversy

'Cause information technology feels and so empty without me

I said this looks similar a job for me

And then everybody, just follow me

'Cause we demand a little controversy

'Crusade information technology feels and then empty without me

[Verse 3: Eminem]

A tisk-information technology a chore-it, I'll get tit for tat with

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

Chris Kirkpatrick, you tin get your donkey kicked

Worse than them fiddling Limp Bizkit bastards

And Moby? You can get stomped past Obie

You 36-year-quondam baldheaded fag, accident me

You don't know me, you're too old, let go

Information technology's over, nobody listens to techno

At present let'due south go, just give me the signal

I'll be there with a whole listing full of new insults

I've been dope, suspenseful with a pencil

Ever since Prince turned himself into a symbol

But sometimes the shit but seems

Everybody only wants to hash out me

And then this must mean I'thousand icky

But information technology's just me, I'm just obscene

Though I'yard not the first rex of controversy

I am the worst matter since Elvis Presley

To exercise black music then selfishly

And use it to get myself wealthy (Hey!)

There'southward a concept that works

Twenty 1000000 other white rappers sally

But no matter how many fish in the body of water

It'd be so empty without me

[Chorus: Eminem]

Now this looks like a chore for me

And so everybody, just follow me

'Cause we demand a footling controversy

'Cause information technology feels so empty without me

I said this looks like a job for me

Then everybody, just follow me

'Cause we demand a little controversy

'Cause it feels and then 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! Real proper noun, no gimmicks (*record ...:

  This is taken directly from the beginning of Obie Trice song "Rap Name". Information technology's a shout-out to the guy who was Eminem'due south protégé at the time. It's also a promotion – Obie'southward album was coming out soon and he was the adjacent artist to be released on Shady.

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

  It is good to note that the song earlier "Without Me" on The Eminem Show 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 on trailblazer for Caucasians in the hip-hop world, like Eminem is now. The original lyric is "two Buffalo gals go round the outside", which Em alters to reflect his white trash upbringing.

• Judge who's back, back once more:

  This vocal is the get-go unmarried from the anthology 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 as soon every bit we hear the Dr. Dre beats, nasally voice, and intricate lyrics, we 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 it to be the epitome of lyrical ability, although he is an excellent lyricist), and he is perchance making fun of advertisements that excitedly encourage you to "tell a friend!" about the product or service beingness advertised.

• Guess who'southward back, gauge who's back:

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

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

  Using the famous "I've created a monster" line taken from Frankenstein, Eminem explains how on his beginning major characterization album he created the evil alter-ego "Slim Shady", which he at present feels fans adopt over his bodily personality, something he did not intend (his existent name is Marshall).

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

• Well, if you want Shady, this is what I'll ...:

  Em reveals that his alter ego is really only his personality when he'due south drunk and loftier (curiously, also the reason most Rap Genius editors write under a pseudonym)

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

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

  Vodka tin become his heart pumping fast, much like a thousand volts of electricity from a defibrillator. Another famous Eminem extended metaphor, he doesn't just say vodka gets his heart pumping similar a defib, he describes a full scene that gives the imagery of doctors trying to stupor him dorsum to life, but he is still fighting them off because he doesn't care about his health.

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

  This shows a total disregard for his ain prophylactic, which is pretty standard behavior for Slim Shady. This is just one of several songs where he's made medical/doctor references, ane notable existence "I Demand a Doctor".

• Now this looks similar 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 upwards as, of all people, Robin (Batman's sidekick). But in this example he is channeling his inner Superman, since that is Clark Kent's catchphrase when switching into the Man of Steel. Without controversy, everything seems to be really boring in his eyes. So he uses himself as target of the FCC and sensors to create some "controversy". Considering life "feels so empty, without [him]".

• 'Cause nosotros need a little controversy:

  Con-tro-ver-sy; [kon-truh-vur-come across]; noun-plural; 1. a public dispute, debate, or contention concerning a thing of opinion. 2. Eminem.

• 'Cause information technology feels so empty without me:

  After releasing The Slim Shady LP in 1999 and The Marshall Mathers LP in 2000 – both received past 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 actually no musical controversies worth mentioning, and it is this Slim Shady is referring to, with a sly grin no doubt.

• Little hellions, kids feeling rebellious:

  The way that the media describes Eminem'southward fans. In the music video, the main plot is Eminem and Dre dressing up as Batman and Robin and trying to end a "rebellious" trivial child from buying The Eminem Testify, parodying how critics view preventing kids from hearing his music as a "heroic" deed.

• Embarrassed their parents nonetheless listen to Elvis:

  Although Elvis was controversial to many of the parents in the 50'south and threescore'due south, that controversy somewhen died out. Now rock and roll is viewed as "sometime 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.

  Too, Eminem is aware that a lot of people compare him to Elvis, and it'due south an accurate comparison in some aspects. They both accomplished superstardom in a predominately blackness genre, and were both accused of sending bad messages to the youth. Eminem often refers to himself equally the new Elvis, and dresses up like him in his music videos.

• They start feeling like prisoners helpless ...:

  Kids feel like they are being trapped by their parents and their onetime schoolhouse customs, so something new and vulgar like Eminem gives them motivation to rebel.

• A visionary, vision is scary:

  Eminem depicts himself every bit 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 idea that someone like Eminem is going to control the hereafter scares them.

• Could start a revolution, polluting the airwaves:

  Eminem knows that his critics view his music every bit unsafe, and then much so that they retrieve putting it on the radio is "polluting" the minds of its listeners. Information technology isn't surprising that the airwaves never really gave Slim Shady much airtime, but that has changed in the 2010's.

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

  Irony. Anybody kisses it, but no one wants to look at it. He'southward proverb that everyone gives him attending by being offended by him and complaining, which is ironic besides.

• A tisk-information technology a task-it:

  "A-tisket, A-tasket" is a plant nursery rhyme, which was besides the basis of a song past Ella Fitzgerald.

• Chris Kirkpatrick, yous tin can go your ass kicked:

  Em is dissing Kirkpatrick from 'Due north Sync because he was the simply fellow member of the band to retaliate when Em made fun of them in his earlier years. But you tin can't really retaliate when you wait similar this:

• Worse than them niggling 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? Yous can get stomped by Obie Yous ...:

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

• You don't know me, you're too old, let ...:

  He doesn't wait old people to understand 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 equally against the rest of American adults that are confronting him.

• nobody listens to techno:

  This line got remixed into a ton of techno songs. It's actually a further insult because Moby fans will get to great pains to tell y'all he'southward not a techno creative person.

• It's over:

  Dissing Moby past saying his career is over

• You waited this long, at present cease debating:

  There was a 2 twelvemonth wait between Em's last album, The Marshall Mathers LP and his 1, The Eminem Show. The MMLP was huge, but some critics doubted that he would ever be able to pull anything off close to that caliber again. They figured the 2 year wait meant he was out of ideas. But now that he'southward back all over the airwaves and running the rap game again, it'southward fourth dimension to finish debating if Eminem vicious off.

• I know that yous got a chore, Ms. Cheney But your ...:

  Lynne Cheney, every bit the wife of Vice President Dick Cheney, was the Second Lady of the Us. In this role, she spoke out against violent and sexually explicit lyrics in popular music, most 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 let him play his songs; they edit and conscience them.

• They attempt to shut me downward on MTV But it feels so ...:

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

  But, without Em, even the critics feel the empty space he used to fill. They hate to like him, merely even Em's harshest critics know he means a lot to the rap game, so they can't just completely shut him down.

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

  Since he'southward discussing censorship, Em references his own argument about Tom Green 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'south about to say i of the greatest things. In the clean version of this song, the first line has been changed with "jump back, jiggle her hip and jerk a chip".

• And get set, 'cause this shit'south about to ...:

  Yet another insult directed at Debbie Mathers, Eminem's mom. He was sued by her for the amount of $10,000,000 because of defamation, which was settled before he recorded this song. Thus, he feels complimentary to swear at her, because she ended upwardly only being awarded $1,600 or and then in amercement after legal fees.

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

  Em sings along to the "Batman" Tv show theme vocal.

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

• Gear up your bent antenna:

  At the time this vocal came out, radio engineering science was notwithstanding improving and so many radios still had long telescoping antennas as such below that were decumbent to bending which would cause the radio signal to become distorted

• The center of attention:

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

• back for the wintertime:

  Back for the winter: Not simply is he back on your general consciousness for the season, merely Em'southward come back to treat the scene the same way you would a rose; to prune it, get rid of the dead forest, and keep it in the right shape. No 1 else only Slim could put his contemporaries through such torturous paces.

• the best matter since wrestling:

  This line refers to the negative aspect of wrestling towards children. Which ties into the side by side line. I mean I could exist incorrect but I do not think a lot of traditional parents would want their kids watching information technology, my mom didn't. This song was also created but after the WWF's "Attitude Era" where they oftentimes cursed, displayed nudity, and much more adult textile. Parents protested against them during this time probably as much equally they have Eminem.

• Infesting in your kid's ears and nesting:

  Mocking the critical parents who say Em's lyrics are horrible and should not be for kids. Em compares his lyrics to an parasitic infection.

• Here's my ten cents, my ii cents is free:

  The "ii cents" refers to Eminem's freedom of spoken language, so he expresses his opinions freely and frequently.

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

  Em'due south commenting on how he'due south considered overplayed and annoying by those who don't appreciate his music, but the irony states itself in that it is the mainstream audience that causes him to exist equally played as often as he is.

• Now let'south go, simply give me the point:

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

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

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

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

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

  Not the first time that Em has brought up that field of study, in fact, information technology may be ane of the things he raps about the near. The subject of the vocal Who Knew is basically to mock people who believe that his music causes people to practice crazy stuff. Too in Role Model, through sarcasm, he tells kids that he is not a good "role model" and they shouldn't exercise the things he does.

• And then this must hateful I'm disgusting:

  Eminem rhymes disgusting past syllable, so that it sounds like discuss-ting. He figures that all this talk well-nigh him being disgusting just means that people like to talk nearly ("discuss") him.

• Though I'm not the offset rex of controversy:

  Many earlier him have cleaved barriers in music; he's not the first to do so

  Emphasis on the give-and-take "king" – Elvis was known as "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 blackness music and selling it to the masses.

  It was besides fairly common so for white musicians to rework songs originally fabricated by blackness musicians and make much more coin 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 coin off it…which he did. In that time singer/songwriters were almost not existent. Songwriters often passed songs on to other singers who they believed could make more money off information technology. "Hound Dog" was too recorded by five land singers in 1953 alone, and over 26 times through 1964.
