dedication

*HOOK*

 

*VERSE 1 GENESIS*

i was thrown from the light suddenly into the dark

when i once had no friends and everyone depart-ed

where the whole darkness engulfed me in a swarm

but now i embrace that as warmth while i rip this apart

you've helped me out by making me stand on my own two feet

you managed to create the one kid who can spit shit fluently

who can rant and rap freely without hesitating because of these bees

that sting repeatedly thinking that i'd actually admit my defeat

thinking i'd step off the stage and cry to sleep

but these pesky fleas dont understand that i can't please everybody

i dont yell at them to accept me

instead i blow my head out with beats

that's exactly what you taught me through your music

it spoke to me saying "you have a brain now use it

you have a dictionary and brains so fuse it

create something mystical but dont lose it

focus on your energy to try and spark a movement

you may have troubles but dont back away cruise through

and then let them decide as to what to make out of you

because you're willing to handle anything thrown towards you"

so i blast with this newfound motivation

a step to spark a revolution

i dont care if they rebuke it

because i'd step up again for retribution and this confusion

is gone I'm crystal clear with the future

blasting off oceans of lyrics from all four corners

a tsunami that's managing to wash all over

because now i dont need any four leaf clovers

*VERSE 2 GENESIS*

so dear marshall may i use this as a Stan part 2

except i won't be suiciding because of you

god knows what all he's put me through from root to shoot since

from the start there was no love so ripped apart

walking alone on a lonely road getting stripped to parts

but you helped and collected the fragments

and superglued me back to blast the maggots

bombard the bombs dropped back on me

ricochet the new ones trying to land on me

and teaching me to balance the new mind palace achieved

and my sanity climbing out of my reach

as i change the speed at what I'm working at, lava flowing out my doormats

and a volcanic eruption of anger and people yelling at me to go and

my parents throwing up tantrums and these new randoms

of people trying to relate by faking their way from misery to fame

but me and you we're somewhat alike

getting yelled at and screamed at by people who we like

bullied by others except i dont strike back

so maybe that's why my rhymes still stay on a pad

while you bounce off to victory

with the new MMLP and SHADY X V

people go crazy when they hear your name

yelling "OH MY GOD EMINEM'S ON STAGE"

and I'm with them because you gave me life

you provided the energy for me to keep a fight

the energy needed to retaliate them every night

being called names and yet I'm gonna try to remain unfazed when i face

a mic

*HOOK*

 

*VERSE 3 GENESIS*

so happy birthday marshall mathers

the one true toy soldier that really matters

the crazy crafter who takes after

tupac shakur and dr dre

the lyrical menace who takes the cake

the one slim shady who owns the stage

schools the fakes and walks away

and leaves everyone gaping with the messages conveyed

and we take our time out to dedicate

thank you slim and eminem

you're the only who makes sense

a rapper who raps out from his soul

so happy birthday once more

we hope to see what you got in stores

with SHADY XV and know you will set the score

as the best HIP HOP artists ever in scores
