[Intro: Obie Trice]

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

[Refrain 1: Eminem]

Ii trailer park girls get 'round the outside

'Round the outside, 'circular the outside

Two trailer park girls go 'round the outside

'Round the outside, 'circular the outside

[Refrain 2: Eminem]

Approximate who's back, back again

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

Gauge who's back, guess who's back

Gauge who's back, judge who'due south back

Approximate who's back

[Verse 1: Eminem]

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

Encounter Marshall no more, they want Shady, I'thousand chopped liver

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

A lilliputian bit of weed mixed with some hard liquor

Some vodka that'll leap beginning my center quicker

Than a daze when I become shocked at the hospital

By the doctor when I'm not co-operating

When I'k rocking the table while he'south operating (Hey!)

You waited this long, now cease debating

'Cause I'k back, I'yard on the rag and ovulating

I know that you got a job, Ms. Cheney

But your husband's heart trouble'south complicating

So the FCC won't let me be

Or permit me be me, then let me run into

They try to shut me downwardly on MTV

But it feels so 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 get ready, 'cause this shit'southward almost to go heavy

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

[Chorus: Eminem]

Now this looks like a job for me

So everybody, merely follow me

'Cause nosotros demand a little controversy

'Crusade it feels so empty without me

I said this looks like a chore for me

And then everybody, just follow me

'Cause we need a little controversy

'Cause it feels so empty without me

[Verse ii: Eminem]

Little hellions, kids feeling rebellious

Embarrassed their parents still mind to Elvis

They showtime feeling like prisoners helpless

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

A visionary, vision is scary

Could start a revolution, polluting the airwaves

A rebel, and so just allow me revel and bask

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

And it'southward a disaster, such a catastrophe

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

Well, I'yard back, na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

Fix your aptitude antenna, tune information technology in, and then I'thou gonna

Enter in, and up under your skin like a splinter

The eye of attending, back for the winter

I'm interesting, the best thing since wrestling

Infesting in your kid'south ears and nesting

Testing, "Attention delight"

Feel the tension soon as someone mentions me

Here's my ten cents, my 2 cents is free

A nuisance, who sent? You sent for me?

[Chorus: Eminem]

Now this looks like a task for me

So everybody, merely follow me

'Cause we need a footling controversy

'Cause it feels so empty without me

I said this looks similar a job for me

And so everybody, just follow me

'Crusade nosotros demand a footling controversy

'Cause it feels and then empty without me

[Verse 3: Eminem]

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

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

Chris Kirkpatrick, you can become your ass kicked

Worse than them little Limp Bizkit bastards

And Moby? You lot tin get stomped by Obie

You lot 36-twelvemonth-old baldheaded fag, blow me

Y'all don't know me, yous're too old, let get

It'southward over, nobody listens to techno

Now permit's go, only requite 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

Just sometimes the shit merely seems

Everybody only wants to discuss me

And then this must mean I'm disgusting

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

Though I'm not the outset rex of controversy

I am the worst thing since Elvis Presley

To do black music and then selfishly

And use information technology to get myself wealthy (Hey!)

There's a concept that works

Xx one thousand thousand other white rappers emerge

Just no affair how many fish in the bounding main

It'd be so empty without me

[Chorus: Eminem]

Now this looks like a job for me

So everybody, just follow me

'Cause we need a little controversy

'Cause information technology feels so empty without me

I said this looks like a task for me

And so everybody, only follow me

'Cause we demand a footling controversy

'Crusade information technology 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 name, no gimmicks (*tape ...:

  This is taken direct from the offset of Obie Trice song "Rap Name". Information technology's a shout-out to the guy who was Eminem's protégé at the fourth dimension. It's also a promotion – Obie'southward album was coming out soon and he was the next artist to exist released on Shady.

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

  It is adept to note that the song before "Without Me" on The Eminem Prove Drips, features Obie Trice on information technology.

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

  A reference to the song "Buffalo Gals" past 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 circular the outside", which Em alters to reverberate his white trash upbringing.

• Guess who's back, back over again:

  This song is the first single from the album The Eminem Evidence, 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 shortly every bit 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 footling rhyme with this line (he didn't write it to be the epitome of lyrical power, although he is an first-class lyricist), and he is perhaps making fun of advertisements that excitedly encourage yous to "tell a friend!" nigh the product or service existence advertised.

• Judge who's back, guess who's back:

  This song is the beginning single from the album The Eminem Show, released in 2002. Em'southward previous anthology, The Marshall Mathers LP, was released in 2000, and The Slim Shady LP came in 1999. And as soon equally we hear the Dr. Dre beats, nasally phonation, 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 outset major characterization album he created the evil alter-ego "Slim Shady", which he now feels fans prefer over his actual personality, something he did non 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 want Shady, this is what I'll ...:

  Em reveals that his alter ego is really merely his personality when he'south boozer and high (curiously, as well the reason most Rap Genius editors write under a pseudonym)

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

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

  Vodka can get his heart pumping fast, much like a chiliad volts of electricity from a defibrillator. Some other famous Eminem extended metaphor, he doesn't merely say vodka gets his heart 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 even so fighting them off because he doesn't care near his wellness.

• When I'grand rocking the tabular array while he's ...:

  This shows a total disregard for his own safety, which is pretty standard behavior for Slim Shady. This is but one of several songs where he'southward fabricated medical/doc references, one notable being "I Need a Doc".

• 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'south catchphrase when switching into the Man of Steel. Without controversy, everything seems to exist really boring in his eyes. Then he uses himself every bit target of the FCC and sensors to create some "controversy". Because life "feels so empty, without [him]".

• 'Cause we need a trivial controversy:

  Con-tro-ver-sy; [kon-truh-vur-encounter]; noun-plural; 1. a public dispute, argue, or contention concerning a matter 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 as the lead single in 2002. During those 2 year in that location 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'southward fans. In the music video, the master plot is Eminem and Dre dressing up every bit 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" act.

• Embarrassed their parents still listen to Elvis:

  Although Elvis was controversial to many of the parents in the l'south and 60'south, that controversy somewhen died out. Now stone and roll 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.

  Besides, Eminem is aware that a lot of people compare him to Elvis, and it'southward an authentic comparison in some aspects. They both achieved superstardom in a predominately black genre, and were both accused of sending bad messages to the youth. Eminem often refers to himself as 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 past their parents and their erstwhile school 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 futurity. The trouble is, the vision that he has is going to upset a lot of parents, so the thought that someone similar Eminem is going to command the futurity scares them.

• Could first a revolution, polluting the airwaves:

  Eminem knows that his critics view his music as dangerous, then much then that they think 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 anybody kissing my donkey ...:

  Irony. Anybody kisses it, but no ane wants to wait at information technology. He's proverb that anybody gives him attending past beingness offended by him and complaining, which is ironic too.

• A tisk-information technology a chore-information technology:

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

• Chris Kirkpatrick, y'all can get your ass kicked:

  Em is dissing Kirkpatrick from 'N Sync because he was the only member of the ring to retaliate when Em made fun of them in his before years. Merely y'all can't really retaliate when you expect like this:

• Worse than them trivial Limp Bizkit bastards:

  This line added fuel to the burn 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 can get stomped by Obie You lot ...:

  Merely popular stars are worthy of direct attack, and then Em symbolically sends a minion, rapper Obie Trice, to beat out up the electronic music artist Moby.

• You don't know me, you're besides former, permit ...:

  He doesn't expect old people to sympathise 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 confronting the remainder of American adults that are against him.

• nobody listens to techno:

  This line got remixed into a ton of techno songs. It'due south really a farther insult because Moby fans will go to bang-up pains to tell you he's not a techno artist.

• It's over:

  Dissing Moby by proverb his career is over

• Yous waited this long, now stop debating:

  In that location was a two year await between Em'south last anthology, The Marshall Mathers LP and his one, The Eminem Prove. The MMLP was huge, simply some critics doubted that he would e'er be able to pull anything off shut to that caliber once again. They figured the 2 year wait meant he was out of ideas. But now that he'due south back all over the airwaves and running the rap game again, information technology's time to end debating if Eminem vicious off.

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

  Lynne Cheney, as 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, nigh notably those of Eminem.

• Then the FCC won't let me exist 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 censor them.

• They effort to shut me down on MTV But it feels so ...:

  The backlash against Em'southward 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 infinite he used to fill up. They detest to like him, but even Em'south harshest critics know he means a lot to the rap game, so they tin can't simply completely close him downward.

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

  Since he's discussing censorship, Em references his ain argument virtually 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 make clean version of this vocal, the first line has been changed with "jump back, jiggle her hip and jerk a bit".

• And get ready, 'cause this shit'due south near to ...:

  Yet some other insult directed at Debbie Mathers, Eminem's mom. He was sued past her for the amount of $10,000,000 considering of defamation, which was settled before he recorded this song. Thus, he feels gratuitous to swear at her, because she ended up but being awarded $1,600 or so in amercement after legal fees.

• Well, I'1000 back, na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na:

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

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

• Set up your aptitude antenna:

  At the fourth dimension this song came out, radio engineering was notwithstanding improving so many radios still had long telescoping antennas equally such below that were prone to bending which would cause the radio signal to become distorted

• The heart of attention:

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

• dorsum for the winter:

  Back for the winter: Not only is he back on your general consciousness for the season, merely Em's come dorsum to treat the scene the same manner you would a rose; to prune it, get rid of the dead wood, and go on 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 attribute of wrestling towards children. Which ties into the next line. I mean I could be wrong but I do not think a lot of traditional parents would want their kids watching information technology, my mom didn't. This song was too created merely after the WWF'south "Attitude Era" where they often 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 child'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 10 cents, my ii cents is gratis:

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

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

  Em's commenting on how he's considered overplayed and annoying past those who don't capeesh his music, merely the irony states itself in that it is the mainstream audition that causes him to be equally played as often equally he is.

• At present allow's go, simply requite me the signal:

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

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

  He'due 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 proper 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 about arguing that he's a bad influence.

  Not the first time that Em has brought up that subject, in fact, it may be one of the things he raps about the about. The discipline of the song Who Knew is basically to mock people who believe that his music causes people to practise crazy stuff. Also in Role Model, through sarcasm, he tells kids that he is not a skilful "function model" and they shouldn't practice the things he does.

• So this must hateful I'm icky:

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

• Though I'm not the get-go rex of controversy:

  Many before him have broken barriers in music; he'southward not the beginning to do so

  Emphasis on the word "rex" – Elvis was known as "The King."

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

  Elvis Presley, similar many white musicians of his time, has been defendant of incorporating (or stealing, depending on who yous enquire) elements of black music and selling it to the masses.

  Information technology was also fairly common so for white musicians to rework songs originally made past blackness musicians and make much more money from them than the original artist.

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