Artist | Eminem |
Album | The Marshall Mathers LP 2 (Deluxe) |
[00:07.110] | This is survival of the fittest |
[00:12.239] | This is do or die |
[00:17.660] | This is the winner takes it all |
[00:22.240] | So take it all |
[00:28.410] | Wasn't ready to be a millionaire, I was ill-prepared |
[00:31.650] | I was prepared to be ill, though, the skill was there |
[00:34.240] | In the beginning, it wasn't 'bout the ends |
[00:35.840] | It was 'bout bustin' raps and standin' for somethin' |
[00:38.170] | Fuck an acronym |
[00:39.280] | Cut the fuckin' act like you're happy, I'm fuckin' back again |
[00:41.920] | With another anthem, why stop when it doesn't have to end? |
[00:44.550] | It ain't over 'til I say it's over - enough when I say enough |
[00:47.510] | Throw me to them wolves and close the gate up up |
[00:49.700] | I'm afraid of what'll happen to them wolves |
[00:51.540] | When the thought of being thrown into an alligator pit, I salivated it |
[00:55.170] | Raise your hands up like it's 12 noon |
[00:57.160] | Nah, homie, hold them bitches straight up |
[00:59.200] | Wait until you dislocate a rotator cuff |
[01:01.100] | Came up rough, came to ruffle feathers |
[01:03.350] | Nah, egos, I ain't deflatin' 'em |
[01:04.590] | Last chance to make this whole stadium erupt |
[01:06.840] | This is survival of the fittest |
[01:12.200] | This is do or die |
[01:17.400] | This is the winner takes it all |
[01:21.840] | So take it all |
[01:27.910] | I can see the finish line with each line that I finish |
[01:30.100] | I'm so close to my goals I can almost pole vault over the goal post |
[01:34.830] | And if I don't got enough in the tank maybe I can just siphon enough |
[01:38.100] | To fill up this last can, man will I survive in this climate or what? |
[01:41.459] | They said I was washed up and got a blood bath |
[01:43.610] | I'm not a rapper, I'm an adapter |
[01:45.350] | I can adjust, plus I can just walk up to a mic and just bust |
[01:48.679] | So floor's open if you'd like to discuss |
[01:51.200] | Top 5 in this motherfucker and if I don't make the cut |
[01:54.300] | What, like I give a fuck |
[01:55.0] | I'mma light this bitch up like I'm driving a truck |
[01:57.0] | To the side of a pump |
[01:58.200] | 0 to 60 hop in and gun it |
[01:59.840] | Like G-Unit without the hyphen, I'm hypin' 'em up |
[02:02.290] | And if there should ever come a time where my life's in a rut |
[02:05.130] | And I look like I might just give up, eh you might've mistook |
[02:07.879] | Me for bowing out I ain't taking a bounce |
[02:10.119] | Stabbing myself with a fucking knife in the gut |
[02:11.909] | While I'm whiping my butt |
[02:13.510] | Cause I just shitted on the mic and like getting cut |
[02:15.349] | I get excited at the sight of my blood, you better fight with a nut |
[02:18.629] | Cause I'mma fight 'til I die or win |
[02:20.570] | Biting the dust it'll just make me angrier |
[02:23.659] | Wait, let me remind you of what got me this far |
[02:26.499] | Picture me quitting, now draw a circle and put a line through it, slut |
[02:30.299] | It's survival of what? |
[02:30.399] | This is survival of the fittest |
[02:35.379] | This is do or die |
[02:40.820] | This is the winner takes it all |
[02:45.249] | So take it all |
[02:57.700] | So get your ideas, stack your ammo |
[02:59.939] | But don't come unless you come to battle, jump in the saddle |
[03:02.920] | This is it, it's what you eat, sleep, piss and shit |
[03:05.799] | Lift, breathe, your whole existence just consists of this |
[03:08.249] | Refuse to quit, the fuse is lit, can't diffuse the wick |
[03:10.980] | If I don't do this music shit I lose my shit |
[03:13.369] | Ain't got shit to lose, it's the moment of truth |
[03:15.260] | It's all I know how to do |
[03:16.459] | As soon as I get thrown in the booth, I spit |
[03:18.799] | But my respect is overdue |
[03:20.249] | I'm showin' you the flow no one used |
[03:21.689] | I don't own no diploma for school, I quit! |
[03:24.228] | So there's nothing for me to fall back on, I know no other traits |
[03:26.920] | So you'd better trade your fuckin' mics in for some tool-box-es |
[03:30.299] | Cause you'll never take my pride from me |
[03:31.299] | It’ll have to be pried from me |
[03:32.589] | So pull out your pliers and your screwdrivers |
[03:35.279] | But I want you to doubt me, I don't want you to believe |
[03:38.320] | Cause this is something that I must use to succeed |
[03:40.849] | And if you don't like me then fuck you! |
[03:42.649] | Self esteem must be fuckin' shooting through the roof |
[03:45.478] | Cause trust me |
[03:46.279] | My skin is too thick and bullet proof to touch me |
[03:49.399] | I can see why the fuck I disgust you! |
[03:51.299] | I must be allergic to failure cause everytime I come close to it I just sneeze |
[03:55.670] | I just go atchoo then achieve! |
[03:57.579] | This is survival of the fittest |
[04:03.399] | This is do or die |
[04:08.140] | This is the winner takes it all |
[04:12.920] | So take it all |
[04:25.700] |
[00:07.110] | This is survival of the fittest |
[00:12.239] | This is do or die |
[00:17.660] | This is the winner takes it all |
