[00:01.34][Verse 1]
[00:10.00]It's like I'm in this dirt, digging up old hurt
[00:13.14]Tried everything to get my mind off you, it won't work
[00:16.07]All it takes is one song on the radio, you're
[00:19.36]Right back on it, reminding me all over again
[00:21.46]How you ******* just brushed me off and left me so burnt
[00:24.22]Spent a lot of time tryin' to soul search
[00:26.54]Maybe I needed to grow up a little first
[00:28.65]Well, looks like I hit a growth spurt
[00:30.19]But I'm coming for closure
[00:32.27]Don't suppose an explanation I'm owed, for
[00:34.66]The way that you turned your back on me
[00:36.35]Just when I may have needed you most
[00:37.96]Oh, you thought it was over? You could just close the
[00:40.60]Chapter and go about your life like it was nothing?
[00:43.60]You ruined mine, but you seem to be doin' fine
[00:45.67]Well, I've never recovered
[00:46.88]But tonight I bet you that what you're 'bout to go through's tougher than anything I ever have suffered
[00:51.35]Can't think of a better way to define poetic justice
[00:54.36]Can I hold grudges? Mind saying, "Let it go, **** this."
[00:57.32]Heart's saying: "I will, once I bury this ***** alive
[01:00.12]Hide the shovel and then drive off in the sunset."
[01:02.57][Hook: Sarah Jaffe]
[01:02.80]I flee the scene like it was my last ride
[01:08.67]You see right through
[01:11.77]Oh, you had me pegged the first time
[01:14.66]You can see the truth, but it's easier to justify
[01:20.56]What's bad is good and I hate to be the bad guy
[01:26.37]I just hate to be the bad guy
[01:31.29](Follow me, I ruh-uh-un; follow me, I ruh-uh-un)
[01:35.75]I just hate to be the bad guy
[01:37.22](Follow me, I ruh-uh-un; follow me, I ruh-uh-un)
[01:37.76][Verse 2]
[01:38.10]And to think I used to think you was the ****, *****
[01:40.18]To think it was you at one time I worshipped, ****
[01:42.97]Think you can hurt people and just keep getting away with it?
[01:46.13]Not this time, you better go and get the sewing kit, *****!
[01:49.03]Finish this stitch, so you can reap what you sew, nitwit
[01:51.21]Thought some time would pass and I'd forget it?
[01:54.09]Forget it! You left our family in shambles
[01:56.59]And you expect me to just get over him
[01:58.69]Pretend he never existed?
[02:00.16]May be gone, but he's not forgotten
[02:02.52]And don't think ‘cause he's been out the pictures so long that I've stopped the plottin' and still ain't coming to get ya
[02:05.94]You're wrong and that **** was rotten
[02:08.39]And the way you played him, same **** you did to me; cold
[02:11.14]Have you any idea the **** that I've gone through?
[02:14.26]Feelings I harbor? All this pent up resentment I hold on to?
[02:17.30]Not once you call to ask me how I'm doin'
[02:19.02]Letters, you don't respond to 'em
[02:20.34]**** it, I'm coming to see you
[02:21.85]And, gee, who better to talk to than you?
[02:23.64]The cause of my problems, my life is garbage
[02:25.76]And I'm 'bout to take it out on you, poof, then I'm gone, voosh
[02:28.90][Hook: Sarah Jaffe]
[02:29.13]I flee the scene like it was my last ride
[02:34.74]You see right through
[02:38.07]Oh, you had me pegged the first time
[02:40.52]You can see the truth, but it's easier to justify
[02:46.60]What's bad is good and I hate to be the bad guy
[02:52.34]I just hate to be the bad guy
[02:58.12](Follow me, I ruh-uh-un; follow me, I ruh-uh-un)
[03:02.61]I just hate to be the bad guy
[03:04.32](Follow me, I ruh-uh-un; follow me, I ruh-uh-un)
[03:07.94][Verse 3]
[03:09.00]I've been drivin' around your side of this town
[03:11.26]Like 9 frickin' hours and 45 minutes now
[03:13.37]Finally I found your new address, park in your drive
[03:16.53]Feel like I've been waiting on this moment all of my life
[03:18.67]And it's now arrived, and my mouth is full of saliva
[03:21.16]My knife is out and I'm ducking on the side of your house
[03:23.17]See, it's sad it came to this point
[03:25.52]Such a disappointment I had to make this appointment
[03:27.42]To come and see ya, but I ain't here for your empathy
[03:30.40]I don't need your apology or your friendship or sympathy
[03:32.83]It's revenge that I seek
[03:33.84]So I sneak vengefully and treat your bedroom window
[03:36.51]Like I reached my full potential; I peeked
[03:38.64]Continue to peep, still bent low, then keep
[03:41.58]Tapping the glass lightly then start to crescendo, sneak
[03:44.29]All the way 'round to the back porch
[03:45.97]Man, door handles unlocked, shouldn't be that easy to do this
[03:49.01]You don't plan for intruders beforehand?
[03:50.88]Surprised to see me? Cat got your tongue?
[03:53.28]Gag, chloroform rag, gag, almost hack-up a lung
[03:56.57]Like you picked an axe up and swung, stick to the core plan
[03:58.88]Dragged to the back of a trunk by one of your fans
[04:01.90]Irony's spectacular, huh? Now who's a faggot, you punk?
[04:05.17]And here's your Bronco hat
[04:06.59]You can have that **** back, ‘cause they suck
[04:08.07]It's just me, you and the music now, Slim, I hope you hear it
[04:11.35]We're in the car right now, wait, here comes my favorite lyric
[04:14.43]"I'm the bad guy who makes fun of people that die"
[04:17.04]And hey, here's a sequel to my Mathers LP
[04:18.99]Just to try to get people to buy
[04:20.52]How's this for a publicity stunt? This should be fun
[04:23.54]Last album now, ‘cause after this you'll be officially done
[04:26.23]Eminem killed by M and M, Matthew Mitchell
[04:28.78]*****, I even have your initials
[04:31.27]I initially was gonna bury you next to my brother, but **** it
[04:34.22]Since you're in love with your city so much
[04:36.75]I figured, what the ****
[04:37.75]The best place you could be buried alive is right here
[04:39.72]Two more exits, time is quite near
[04:41.94]Hope we don't get stopped, no license I fear
[04:44.20]That sirens I hear? Guess 90 on the freeway wasn't the brightest idea, as cops appear in my driver's side mirror
[04:50.13](Oh, God! Police! Aaaghh!)
[04:52.70]Hope Foxtrot gets an aerial shot of your burial plot, at least
[04:56.16]New plan, Stan, Slim: "Chauvinist pig
[04:58.71]Drove in this big Lincoln Town Car"
[05:00.95]Well, gotta go, almost at the bridge
[05:02.86]Ha ha, big bro, it's for you, Slim, this is for him
[05:05.73]And Frank Ocean; oh, hope you can swim good
[05:07.86]Now say you hate homos again!
[05:09.45][Part 2: Produced by StreetRunner]
[05:10.41][Verse 4]
[05:10.92]I also represent anyone on the receiving end
[05:15.01]Of those jokes you offend
[05:15.98]I'm the nightmare you fell asleep and then woke up still in
[05:19.07]I'm your karma closing in with each stroke of a pen
[05:22.41]Perfect time to have some remorse to show for your sin
[05:25.66]Nope, it's hopeless, I'm the denial that you're hopelessly in
[05:28.50]When they say all of this is approachin' its end
[05:31.14]But you refuse to believe that it's over
[05:32.84]Here we go all over again
[05:34.47]Back's to the wall, I'm stacking up all them odds
[05:37.25]Toilets clogged, yeah, ‘cause I'm talking a lot of ****
[05:39.39]But I'm backing it all up
[05:40.94]But in my head there's a voice in the back and it hollers
[05:43.76]After the track is demolished, "I am your lack of a conscience"
[05:47.17]I'm the ringing in your ears
[05:48.82]I'm the polyps on the back of your tonsils
[05:51.00]Eatin' your vocal chords after your concerts
[05:53.42]I'm your time that's almost up that you haven't acknowledged
[05:56.17]Grab for some water
[05:57.17]But I'm that pill that's too jagged to swallow
[05:59.42]I'm the bullies you hate
[06:00.77]That you became with every faggot you slaughtered
[06:03.29]Coming back on you, every woman you insult
[06:05.57]Batter, but the double-standards you have
[06:07.51]When it comes to your daughters
[06:08.67]I represent everything you take for granted
[06:11.18]‘Cause Marshall Mathers, the rapper's persona, is half a facade
[06:14.25]And Matthew and Stan's just symbolic
[06:15.45]Of you not knowing what you had 'til it's gone
[06:17.88]‘Cause after all the glitz and the glam
[06:19.60]No more fans that are calling your name
[06:21.18]Cameras are off, sad, but it happens to all of them
[06:24.15]I'm the hindsight to say, “I told you so!”
[06:26.54]Foreshadows of all the things that are to follow
[06:29.42]I'm the future that's here to show you what happens tomorrow
[06:32.57]If you don't stop after they call ya
[06:34.74]Biggest laughing stock of rap who can't call it quits
[06:36.69]When it's time to walk away, I'm every guilt trip
[06:39.06]The baggage you have, but as you gather up all your possessions, if there's anything you have left to say
[06:44.59]'Less it makes an impact, then don't bother
[06:46.45]So 'fore you rest your case
[06:47.60]Better make sure you're packing a wallop
[06:50.28]So, one last time, I'm back, before it fades into black
[06:53.35]And it's all over, behold the final chapter in a saga
[06:56.59]Tryin' to recapture that lightning trapped in a bottle
[07:00.50]Twice, the magic that started
[07:01.97]It all, tragic portrait of an artist
[07:04.18]Tortured, trapped in his own drawings
[07:05.92]Tap into thoughts blacker and darker than anything imaginable
[07:09.19]Here goes a wild stab in the dark, uh
[07:11.12]As we pick up where the last Mathers left off
