Won't Back Down
Eminem Lyrics

You can sound the alarm
You can try to warn others of my presence

You can call out your guards
You can gather others to protect yourself

You can fence in your yard
You can try to prevent me from entering your space

You can hold all the cards
You can have all the advantages

But I won't back down
But I won't be intimidated or give up easily

Oh no, I won't back down
I'm determined to stand up for myself

Cadillac Sevilles, coupe Devilles
Describing fancy cars

Brain-dead rims, yeah, stupid wheels
Talking about the decorative elements of cars

Girl, I'm too for real
Asserting that he is genuine

Lose your tooth and nail
Fight hard to try to beat him

Tryna fight it, try to deny it
Trying to go against him

Stupid you will feel
You'll regret trying to fight him

What I do, I do at will
He does what he wants to do

Shooting from the hip, yeah, boy, I shoot to kill
He is not afraid to say what he thinks

Half a breath left on my deathbed
He's not afraid of death

Screaming, "F that" yeah, super ill
He is defiant in the face of death

Baby, what the deal?
Asking what's going on

We can chill, split half a pill and a Happy Meal
Suggesting they relax and spend time together

Fuck a steak, slut
He doesn't care for expensive food

I'll cut my toes off and step on the receipt 'fore I foot the bill
He'd rather self-harm than pay for an expensive dinner

Listen, garden tool, don't make me introduce you to my power tool
Warning someone not to mess with him

You know the fucking drill
You know how this goes

How you douche bags feel knowing you're disposable?
Asking how they feel about being replaceable

Summers Eve, Massengill
Referring to feminine hygiene products

Shady's got the mass appeal, baby, crank the shit
He has a lot of fans and is popular

'Cause it's your goddamn jam
Because everyone loves the song

You say that you want your punchlines a little more compact
Referring to a desire for shorter jokes

Well, shawty, I'm that man
He's the one who can deliver short jokes

These other cats ain't metaphorically where I'm at, man
Other rappers aren't on his level

I gave Bruce Wayne a Valium and said
Making a joke about Batman

"Settle ya fuckin' ass down I'm ready for combat, man"
He's ready to compete, like Batman

Get it? Calm Batman
Explaining the joke

Nah, ain't nobody whose as bomb and as nuts
No one is as crazy as him

Lines are like mom's CAT scans
Saying his lines are amazing

'Cause they fucking go bananas
Saying his lines are very popular

Honey, I applaud that ass
Complimenting a woman's body

Swear to God, man, these broads can't dance
Saying women can't dance

Ma, show 'em how it's done
Saying his mom is a good dancer

Spazz like a goddamn Taz', yeah
Dance crazily

Girl, shake that ass like a donkey with Parkinson's
Encouraging her to move her body

Make like Michael J. Fox is in your drawers
Making another joke about Parkinson's

Playin' with a Etch-A-Sketch
Playing with a toy

Betcha that you'll never guess who's knocking at your door
Someone is coming to visit

People hit the floors
People are ducking

Yeah, tonight, ladies, you gon' get divorced
Suggesting that women will leave their husbands for him

Girl, forget remorse, I'ma hit you broads with
Encouraging women not to feel remorse

Chris's force like you pissed him off
Talking about his aggressive approach

Talented with the tongue, motherfucker
Referring to his rhyming skills

You ain't gotta lick in yours
You don't need to imitate him

Hittin' licks like I'm robbin' liquor stores
Saying his rhymes are like he's robbing a store

Makin' cash registers shit their draws
Saying he's making a lot of money

Think you spit the rawest?
Think you're the best?

I'm an uncooked slab of beef
Saying that he's raw and unrefined

Laying on your kitchen floor
Suggesting he's unappealing

Other words I'm off the meat rack
Suggesting he brings something different

Bring the beat back
Asking for the music to start again

Bring me two extension chords
Saying he has a big ego

I'ma measure my dick, shit, I need six inches more
Making another joke about his ego

Fuck my dick's big, bitch
Saying he's very big-headed

Need I remind you that I don't need
Saying that he's above other things

The fucking swine flu to be a sick pig?
Saying that he doesn't need external factors to be influential

You're addicted, I'm dope
Saying that he's better than drugs

I'm the longest needle around here
Saying he's the best rapper

Need a fix, ock? I'm the big shot
Saying he's the go-to guy for great music

Get it, dick-snots?
Explaining the joke

Your just small pokes, little pricks
Insulting others' abilities

Girl, you think that other prick's hot?
Asking if others are better than him

I'll drink gasoline and eat a lit match
Saying he's invincible

'Fore I sit back and let 'em get hotter
Before he lets things to get worse

Better call the cops on 'em quick fast
Suggesting someone call authorities

Shady's right back on your bitch-ass
Saying he's coming back and not giving up

White trash with half a six pack in his hatchback
Putting himself down

Trailer hitched attached to the back (dispatch)
Saying a trailer is attached to his car

Bitch, am I the reason that your boyfriend stopped rapping?
Asking if someone's boyfriend stopped rapping because of him

Does a bird chirp, Lil' Wayne slurps syrup 'til he burps and smokes purp'?
Saying Lil' Wayne is known for certain things

Does a word search gets circles wrapped around it like
Saying he's a master of wordplay

You do when I come through? I'd like you to remind yourself
Asking for recognition

Of what the fuck I can do when I'm on the mic
Saying he's amazing when he's performing

Oh, your the kind of girl that I can take a liking to
Flirting with someone

Sike, I'm spiking you like a football
Saying that he was just joking

Been this way since I stood a foot tall
Saying he's always been this way

You're a good catch with a shitty spouse
Saying someone is too good for their partner

Gotta pretty mouth and a good jaw
Complimenting someone's looks

Gimme good brain
Saying he wants someone to be intelligent

Watch the woodgrain, don't want no cum stain
Making a sexual reference

Bitch, you listening tryna turn me down
Telling someone to pay attention

Slut, I'm talking to you, turn me back up
Demanding attention

Are you insane? Tryna talk over me in the car
Saying others are crazy for not listening to him

Shut the fuck up while my shit's playin'
Demanding silence during a performance

I'm a shit stain on the underwear of life
Saying he's unimportant

What's the saying? Where there's thunder there's lightening
Referring to a phrase about things happening together

And they say that it never strikes twice in the same place
Referring to another saying

Then how the fuck have I been hit six times
Saying he has been through a lot

In three different locations
Suggesting that he's been in trouble in different places

On four separate occasions?
Saying he's been in trouble often

And you can bet your stanking ass
Saying this is true

That I've come to smash everything in my path
Saying he's there to destroy everything

Fork was in the road, took the psychopath
Saying he's crazy

Poison Ivy wouldn't have me thinking rash
Saying he makes smart choices

So hit the dance floor, cutie, while I do my duty on this microphone
Suggesting people dance while he sings

Shake your booty, shawty, I'm the shit
Asking women to dance and complimenting himself

Why you think Proof used to call me Doodi?
Making a joke about his nickname
