[Intro: Obie Trice]

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

[Refrain i: Eminem]

2 trailer park girls get 'circular the outside

'Round the exterior, 'round the outside

Ii trailer park girls become 'round the outside

'Round the exterior, 'circular the outside

[Refrain 2: Eminem]

Guess who's back, dorsum again

Shady'due south back, tell a friend

Guess who's back, gauge who'due south back

Guess who'south back, guess who's dorsum

Guess who'southward back, guess who's back

Guess who's back

[Verse 1: Eminem]

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

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

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

A fiddling flake of weed mixed with some hard liquor

Some vodka that'll bound offset my center quicker

Than a shock when I become shocked at the infirmary

By the doc when I'm not co-operating

When I'1000 rocking the table while he's operating (Hey!)

Y'all waited this long, at present stop debating

'Cause I'grand dorsum, I'm on the rag and ovulating

I know that you got a job, Ms. Cheney

But your husband's heart problem's complicating

So the FCC won't allow me be

Or permit me be me, then let me see

They try to shut me down on MTV

Merely information technology feels and then empty without me

So, come up on and dip, bum on your lips

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

And become set up, 'cause this shit's about to get heavy

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

[Chorus: Eminem]

At present this looks like a chore for me

So everybody, simply follow me

'Cause we need a piddling controversy

'Cause information technology feels so empty without me

I said this looks similar a job for me

So everybody, only follow me

'Cause we need a little controversy

'Crusade information technology feels so empty without me

[Verse 2: Eminem]

Piffling hellions, kids feeling rebellious

Embarrassed their parents still heed to Elvis

They showtime feeling like prisoners helpless

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

A visionary, vision is scary

Could beginning a revolution, polluting the airwaves

A rebel, so but let me revel and enjoy

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

And it'due south a disaster, such a catastrophe

For you to see so damn much of my donkey—y'all asked for me?

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

Fix your bent antenna, tune it in, and then I'm gonna

Enter in, and up under your skin like a splinter

The center of attending, back for the winter

I'chiliad interesting, the best thing since wrestling

Infesting in your kid's ears and nesting

Testing, "Attention please"

Feel the tension soon as someone mentions me

Here'southward my ten cents, my two cents is free

A nuisance, who sent? Yous sent for me?

[Chorus: Eminem]

Now this looks like a job for me

So everybody, just follow me

'Cause we need a little controversy

'Cause it feels and then empty without me

I said this looks similar a chore for me

So everybody, just follow me

'Cause we demand a fiddling controversy

'Crusade it feels and so empty without me

[Verse 3: Eminem]

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

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

Chris Kirkpatrick, you can get your donkey kicked

Worse than them fiddling Limp Bizkit bastards

And Moby? You can go stomped by Obie

You 36-year-former baldheaded fag, accident me

You lot don't know me, you're too former, let become

Information technology's over, nobody listens to techno

Now let's go, but give me the signal

I'll 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 the shit just seems

Everybody only wants to talk over me

And so this must mean I'm disgusting

Only it'south but me, I'yard but obscene

Though I'm non the first rex of controversy

I am the worst affair since Elvis Presley

To do black music and so selfishly

And employ it to get myself wealthy (Hey!)

There'due south a concept that works

Xx million other white rappers sally

But no matter how many fish in the sea

It'd be so empty without me

[Chorus: Eminem]

Now this looks like a job for me

And then everybody, just follow me

'Cause we need a piffling controversy

'Cause information technology feels so empty without me

I said this looks like a job for me

So everybody, just follow me

'Cause nosotros need a petty controversy

'Cause 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! Real name, no gimmicks (*record ...:

  This is taken directly from the beginning of Obie Trice song "Rap Proper name". Information technology'due south a shout-out to the guy who was Eminem's protégé at the time. It's as well a promotion – Obie'southward album 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 every bit 'Obie 1', roughly based off Star Wars grapheme 'Obi-Wan'. Proof and then replied 'naa, real name, no gimmicks.' From then on, he went by Obie Trice.

  It is proficient to note that the song before "Without Me" on The Eminem Evidence Drips, features Obie Trice on it.

• Two trailer park girls get '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 go round the outside", which Em alters to reflect his white trash upbringing.

• Approximate who's back, back again:

  This song is the start single from the album The Eminem Show, released in 2002. Em's previous anthology, The Marshall Mathers LP, was released in 2000, and The Slim Shady LP came in 1999. And equally before long equally 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 first-class lyricist), and he is peradventure making fun of advertisements that excitedly encourage y'all to "tell a friend!" about the product or service being advertised.

• Gauge who's back, approximate who'southward back:

  This song is the showtime single from the anthology The Eminem Prove, released in 2002. Em's previous album, The Marshall Mathers LP, was released in 2000, and The Slim Shady LP came in 1999. And equally soon as we hear the Dr. Dre beats, nasally voice, and intricate lyrics, nosotros 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 first major label anthology he created the evil change-ego "Slim Shady", which he at present feels fans adopt over his bodily personality, something he did not intend (his real name is Marshall).

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

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

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

  Since he has struggled with drug problems throughout his life, nosotros take normally seen more of the "Shady" side of Marshall's personality in his music

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

  Vodka tin can become his centre pumping fast, much like a chiliad volts of electricity from a defibrillator. Some other 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 shock him back to life, simply he is all the same fighting them off because he doesn't care nigh his wellness.

• When I'm rocking the table while he'south ...:

  This shows a total disregard for his own safety, which is pretty standard behavior for Slim Shady. This is just 1 of several songs where he'due south made medical/medico references, i notable being "I Need a Md".

• Now this looks like a chore for me:

  Em is casting himself as a superhero. He does this blatantly in the music video for "Without Me" when he dresses up as, of all people, Robin (Batman's sidekick). But in this case 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 irksome 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 we need a trivial controversy:

  Con-tro-ver-sy; [kon-truh-vur-run across]; noun-plural; i. a public dispute, debate, or contention concerning a matter of stance. 2. Eminem.

• 'Cause it feels so empty without me:

  After 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 two years to release Without Me as the lead single in 2002. During those ii year there were really no musical controversies worth mentioning, and it is this Slim Shady is referring to, with a sly grin no uncertainty.

• Little hellions, kids feeling rebellious:

  The way that the media describes Eminem's fans. In the music video, the main plot is Eminem and Dre dressing up as Batman and Robin and trying to stop a "rebellious" little kid from ownership The Eminem Show, parodying how critics view preventing kids from hearing his music as a "heroic" human activity.

• Embarrassed their parents even so heed to Elvis:

  Although Elvis was controversial to many of the parents in the 50'due south and 60's, that controversy eventually died out. Now stone and gyre is viewed every bit "old 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.

  Also, Eminem is aware that a lot of people compare him to Elvis, and it'due south an authentic comparison in some aspects. They both achieved superstardom in a predominately blackness genre, and were both defendant of sending bad messages to the youth. Eminem often refers to himself as the new Elvis, and dresses upwardly similar him in his music videos.

• They start feeling like prisoners helpless ...:

  Kids experience similar they are beingness trapped past their parents and their old schoolhouse customs, so something new and vulgar similar Eminem gives them motivation to rebel.

• A visionary, vision is scary:

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

• Could kickoff a revolution, polluting the airwaves:

  Eminem knows that his critics view his music equally unsafe, so much so that they call back 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 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's proverb that everyone gives him attending by beingness offended past him and lament, which is ironic besides.

• A tisk-it a task-information technology:

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

• Chris Kirkpatrick, you tin go your ass kicked:

  Em is dissing Kirkpatrick from 'N 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 can't really retaliate when you look like this:

• Worse than them little Limp Bizkit bastards:

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

• And Moby? You lot can get stomped by Obie You ...:

  Simply pop stars are worthy of direct set on, and so Em symbolically sends a minion, rapper Obie Trice, to beat upwardly the electronic music artist Moby.

• You don't know me, you're also quondam, let ...:

  He doesn't expect old people to sympathize or feel his music and he doesn't really desire them to.

  This is directed at Moby in the verse but tin can likewise be seen every bit confronting 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 really a further insult because Moby fans will go to corking pains to tell yous he's not a techno artist.

• It'due south over:

  Dissing Moby by saying his career is over

• You waited this long, now finish debating:

  There was a ii year look between Em'south last album, The Marshall Mathers LP and his one, The Eminem Show. The MMLP was huge, only some critics doubted that he would ever be able to pull anything off close to that quotient again. They figured the 2 year look meant he was out of ideas. Merely now that he's back all over the airwaves and running the rap game once again, information technology'due south time to end debating if Eminem fell off.

• I know that you got a job, Ms. Cheney Only your ...:

  Lynne Cheney, equally the wife of Vice President Dick Cheney, was the Second Lady of the United States. In this role, she spoke out against violent and sexually explicit lyrics in popular music, about notably those of Eminem.

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

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

• They try to shut me down on MTV But it feels then ...:

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

  Simply, without Em, even the critics feel the empty space he used to fill up. They hate to like him, simply fifty-fifty Em's harshest critics know he means a lot to the rap game, so they tin't just completely shut him down.

• And so, come on and dip, bum on your lips:

  Since he's discussing censorship, Em references his ain 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's nearly to say one of the greatest things. In the clean version of this song, the first line has been inverse with "bound back, jiggle her hip and wiggle a bit".

• And get ready, 'cause this shit's most to ...:

  Yet some other insult directed at Debbie Mathers, Eminem's mom. He was sued by her for the amount of $10,000,000 considering of defamation, which was settled earlier he recorded this song. Thus, he feels costless to swear at her, because she ended up only existence awarded $1,600 or then in damages later on legal fees.

• Well, I'thousand back, 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 like Batman'southward sidekick Robin, while Dr. Dre looks at him thinking "this is my fucking protege?"

• Set up your bent antenna:

  At the time this song came out, radio technology was still improving so many radios still had long telescoping antennas equally such below that were prone to bending which would cause the radio point to become distorted

• The eye 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 winter:

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

• the best affair since wrestling:

  This line refers to the negative attribute of wrestling towards children. Which ties into the adjacent line. I hateful I could be wrong but I do not think a lot of traditional parents would want their kids watching it, my mom didn't. This song was also created only after the WWF'due south "Mental attitude Era" where they often cursed, displayed nudity, and much more adult material. Parents protested against them during this fourth dimension 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 exist for kids. Em compares his lyrics to an parasitic infection.

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

  The "two cents" refers to Eminem'southward freedom of speech, so he expresses his opinions freely and oft.

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

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

• Now let's become, merely requite me the signal:

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

• 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 changed his name to an unpronounceable symbol

• Simply sometimes the shit just seems Everybody simply ...:

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

  Not the first fourth dimension that Em has brought up 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 practice crazy stuff. Also in Role Model, through sarcasm, he tells kids that he is not a good "part model" and they shouldn't practice the things he does.

• So this must hateful I'm icky:

  Eminem rhymes disgusting by syllable, and then that it sounds similar talk over-ting. He figures that all this talk about him being disgusting just means that people like to talk about ("discuss") him.

• Though I'one thousand not the first king of controversy:

  Many before him take broken barriers in music; he'south non the first to do then

  Accent on the word "king" – Elvis was known as "The King."

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

  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 also adequately common and then for white musicians to rework songs originally fabricated past blackness musicians and brand much more than money from them than the original artist.

  In fact, Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller wrote Hound Dog and gave information technology to Big Mama Thorton. They felt Elvis could make more money off it…which he did. In that fourth dimension singer/songwriters were almost not real. Songwriters ofttimes passed songs on to other singers who they believed could make more money off it. "Hound Dog" was also recorded past five country singers in 1953 lone, and over 26 times through 1964.
