May I have your attention please?
May I have your attention please?
Will the real Slim Shady please stand up?
I repeat, will the real Slim Shady please stand up?
We’re gonna have a problem here
Y’all act like you never seen a white person before
Jaws all on the floor like Pam and Tommy just burst in the door
And started whooping her ass worse than before
They first were divorced, throwing her over furniture (Ah!)
It’s the return of the… “Ah, wait, no way, you’re kidding
He didn’t just say what I think he did, did he?”
And Dr. Dre said… nothing, you idiots!
Dr. Dre’s dead, he’s locked in my basement! (Ha-ha!)
Feminist women love Eminem
[*Vocal turntable: chigga chigga chigga*]
“Slim Shady, I’m sick of him
Look at him, walking around grabbing his you-know-what
Flipping the you-know-who.” “Yeah, but he’s so cute though!”
Yeah, I probably got a couple of screws up in my head loose
But no worse, than what’s going on in your parents’ bedrooms
Sometimes, I wanna get on TV and just let loose, but can’t
But it’s cool for Tom Green to hump a dead moose
“My bum is on your lips, my bum is on your lips”
And if I’m lucky, you might just give it a little kiss
And that’s the message that we deliver to little kids
And expect them not to know what a woman’s clitoris is
Of course they gonna know what intercourse is
By the time they hit fourth grade
They got the Discovery Channel, don’t they?
“We ain’t nothing but mammals..” Well, some of us cannibals
Who cut other people open like cantaloupes [*slurp*]
But if we can hump dead animals and antelopes
Then there’s no reason that a man and another man can’t elope
[*ewww!*] But if you feel like I feel, I got the antidote
Women wave your pantyhose, sing the chorus and it goes
‘Cause I’m Slim Shady, yes I’m the real Shady
All you other Slim Shadys are just imitating
So won’t the real Slim Shady please stand up
Please stand up, please stand up?
‘Cause I’m Slim Shady, yes I’m the real Shady
All you other Slim Shadys are just imitating
So won’t the real Slim Shady please stand up
Please stand up, please stand up?
Will Smith don’t gotta cuss in his raps to sell records
Well I do, so fuck him and fuck you too!
You think I give a damn about a Grammy?
Half of you critics can’t even stomach me, let alone stand me
“But Slim, what if you win, wouldn’t it be weird?”
Why? So you guys could just lie to get me here?
So you can, sit me here next to Britney Spears?
Yo Shit, Christina Aguilera better switch me chairs
So I can sit next to Carson Daly and Fred Durst
And hear ’em argue over who she gave head to first
Little bitch, put me on blast on MTV
“Yeah, he’s cute, but I think he’s married to Kim, hee-hee!”
I should download her audio on MP3
And show the whole world how you gave Eminem VD
I’m sick of you little girl and boy groups, all you do is annoy me
So I have been sent here to destroy you
And there’s a million of us just like me
Who cuss like me; who just don’t give a fuck like me
Who dress like me; walk, talk and act like me
It just might be the next best thing but not quite me!
‘Cause I’m Slim Shady, yes I’m the real Shady
All you other Slim Shadys are just imitating
So won’t the real Slim Shady please stand up
Please stand up, please stand up?
‘Cause I’m Slim Shady, yes I’m the real Shady
All you other Slim Shadys are just imitating
So won’t the real Slim Shady please stand up
Please stand up, please stand up?
I’m like a head trip to listen to, cause I’m only giving you
Things you joke about with your friends inside your living room
The only difference is I got the balls to say it
In front of y’all and I don’t gotta be false or sugarcoated at all
I just get on the mic and spit it
And whether you like to admit it [*err*] I just shit it
Better than ninety percent of you rappers out can
Then you wonder how can kids eat up these albums like Valiums
It’s funny; ’cause at the rate I’m going when I’m thirty
I’ll be the only person in the nursing home flirting
Pinching nurses asses when I’m jacking off with Jergens
And I’m jerking but this whole bag of Viagra isn’t working
And every single person is a Slim Shady lurking
He could be working at Burger King, spitting on your onion rings
[*hach*] Or in the parking lot, circling
Screaming “I don’t give a fuck!”
With his windows down and his system up
So, will the real Shady please stand up?
And put one of those fingers on each hand up?
And be proud to be outta your mind and outta control
And one more time, loud as you can, how does it go?
‘Cause I’m Slim Shady, yes I’m the real Shady
All you other Slim Shadys are just imitating
So won’t the real Slim Shady please stand up
Please stand up, please stand up?
‘Cause I’m Slim Shady, yes I’m the real Shady
All you other Slim Shadys are just imitating
So won’t the real Slim Shady please stand up
Please stand up, please stand up?
‘Cause I’m Slim Shady, yes I’m the real Shady
All you other Slim Shadys are just imitating
So won’t the real Slim Shady please stand up
Please stand up, please stand up?
‘Cause I’m Slim Shady, yes I’m the real Shady
All you other Slim Shadys are just imitating
So won’t the real Slim Shady please stand up
Please stand up, please stand up?
Ha ha
Guess there’s a Slim Shady in all of us
Fuck it, let’s all stand up
About Eminem
Marshall Bruce Mathers III was born in St. Joseph, Missouri, to Deborah R. Nelson and Marshall Bruce Mathers, Jr. In addition to English ancestry, he has some German, Scottish, and Swiss-German ancestry as well. As a child, Marshall was shuffled between Kansas City and Detroit. When he was 12 years old, he moved to Detroit’s Eastside. Making friends, graduating, and staying out of trouble was all difficult when you switched schools every two to three months. During his high school years in Warren, Michigan, Marshall attended Lincoln High School.
He began rapping at the age of 4, having been a fan of rap since he was a child. When I was a child, rhyming words together and battling schoolmates in the lunchroom brought joy to an otherwise painful existence. When he was 14, he began to take his rapping seriously, but it wasn’t until he was 17 that he made his name, becoming M&M, which he would later rename as “Eminem.”. Marshall developed an anger as a result of being rejected by most fellow rappers because of his race. He quit school after failing the 9th grade three times in a row, but he maintains that he is not stupid and does not recommend others follow his example. As far as he is concerned, it just wasn’t for him. Marshall threw himself headfirst into the rap game, where he was mostly swallowed up by radio shows and freestyle battles. The rapper’s very first album, “Infinite,” sold less than a thousand copies, but it was a stepping stone on the way to becoming a millionaire. In 1995, he and longtime girlfriend Kim Scott had a daughter, Hailie Jade Scott.
Having nothing to lose, Marshall set out to rant about life in general, quickly catching the ear of hip-hop’s difficult-to-please underground. The Slim Shady EP emerged from this, as well as Dr. Dre’s later revised Slim Shady LP. Down to nearly nothing, he entered the 1997 Rap Olympics in Los Angeles, hoping to win the $1,500 cash prize. With every race diss thrown at him, Marshall made it to second place losing in a slipup after battling for an hour. Since Marshall was in a fury over losing, he didn’t notice he was being watched. A few Interscope producers were in the crowd, and they were shown a demo copy of the “Infinite” tape.
Eventually, Dr. Dre found him after hearing it. In their first six hours of working together, the two recorded four songs, three of which made it on to his first LP. Following the completion of the album, Dr. Dre asked Marshall to work with him on his next album. He contributed to several tracks and was on some of the best songs on the album. Dre and Marshall are now set to make his second album. In the United States alone, more than 8 million copies of the Marshall Mathers LP were sold, winning 3 Grammies and being nominated for “Album of the Year”. Additionally, he stunned critics by performing “Stan” with Elton John to dispel all homophobic remarks. In 2002, Eminem made a movie called 8 Mile. Marshall has explained his life in one word since 2001, when he was charged with weapon offenses, divorced from his wife, and nearly went to prison.
