Lyrical Analysis of...
survival-EMINEM!!!!!!
- Yeah.
- [Hook: Liz Rodrigues]
- This is survival of the fittest
- This is do or die
- This is the winner takes it all
- So take it all
- [Verse 1:]
- Wasn't ready to be no millionaire, I was ill prepared
- I was prepared to be ill though, the skill was there
- From the beginning, it wasn't 'bout the ends
- It was 'bout busting raps and standing for something, fucking acronym
- Cut the fucking act like you're happy, I'm fucking back again
- With another anthem, why stop when it doesn't have to end?
- It ain't over 'til I say it's over –enough when I say enough
- Throw me to them wolves and close the gate up
- I'm afraid of what'll happen to them wolves
- When the thought of being thrown into an alligator pit, I salivate at it
- Wait is up, hands up like it's 12 noon, nah, homie
- Hold them bitches straighter up, wave 'em 'til you dislocate a rotator cuff
- Came up rough, came to ruffle feathers, nah, egos
- I ain't deflate enough, last chance to make this whole stadium erupt cause
- [Hook]
- [Verse 2:]
- I can see the finish line with each line that I finish
- I'm so close to my goals I can almost pole vault over the goal post
- And if I don't got enough in the tank, maybe I can just siphon enough
- To fill up this last can, man will I survive in this climate or what?
- They said I was washed up, and got a blood bath
- I'm not a rapper, I'm an adapter, I can adjust
- Plus I can just walk up to a mic and just bust
- So floor's open if you'd like to discuss
- Top 5 in this motherfucker and if I don't make the cut
- What, like I give a fuck, I will light this bitch up like I'm driving a truck
- To the side of a pump, 0 to 60 hop in and gun it
- Like G Unit without the hyphen, I'm hyping 'em up
- And if there should ever come a time where my life's in a rut
- And I look like I might just give up, eh might've mistook
- Me for bowing out I ain't taking a bow, I'm stabbing myself
- With a fucking knife in the gut, while I'm wiping my butt!
- Cause I just shitted on the mic, and I like getting cut
- I get excited at the sight of my blood, you're in a fight with a nut
- Cause I'm a fight 'til I die or win
- Biting the dust it'll just make me angrier, wait
- Let me remind you of what got me this far, picture me quitting
- Now draw a circle around it and put a line through it, slut
- It's survival of what?
- [Hook]
- [Verse 3:]
- So get your ideas, stack your ammo
- But don't come unless you come to battle, I'm mad now jump in the saddle
- This is it, it's what you eat, sleep, piss and shit
- Live, breathe, your whole existence just consists of this
- Refuse to quit, fuse is lit, can't diffuse the wick
- I don't do this music shit, I lose my shit
- Ain't got shit to lose, it's the moment of truth
- It's all I know how to do, as soon as I get thrown in the booth, I spit
- But my respect is overdue, I'm showing you the flow no one do
- Cause I don't own no diploma for school, I quit!
- So there's nothing for me to fall back on, I know no other trade
- So you better trade your fucking mics in for some tool box es
- Cause you'll never take my pride from me
- It'll have to be pried from me, so pull out your pliers and your screwdrivers!
- But I want you to doubt me, I don't want you to believe
- Cause this is something that I must use to succeed
- And if you don't like me then fuck you!
- Self esteem must be fucking shooting through the roof cause trust me
- My skin is too thick and bullet proof to touch me
- I can see why the fuck I disgust you
- I must be allergic to failure cause every time I come close to it
- I just sneeze, but I just go achoo then achieve!
- [Hook]
