Mm
You high baby?
Yeah
Yeah?
Ha ha ha
Talk to me
You want me to tell you somethin'
Uh huh
I know what you wanna hear

'Cause I know you want me baby
I think I want you too
I think I love you baby
I think I love you too
I'm here to save you girl
Come be in Shady's world
I wanna grow together
Let's let our love unfurl
You know you want me baby
You know I want you too
They call me Superman
I'm here to rescue you
I wanna save you girl
Come be in Shady's world

Oh boy you drive me crazy

Bitch you make me hurl

They call me Superman
Leap tall hoes in a single bound
I'm single now
Got no ring on this finger now

I'll never let another chick bring me down
In a relationship, save it bitch, babysit? You make me sick
Superman ain't savin' shit, girl you can jump on Shady's dick
Straight from the hip, cut to the chase
I'll tell the motherfucking slut to her face
Play new games, say new names, ever since I broke up with what's her face
I'm a different man, kiss my ass, kiss my lips, bitch why ask?
Kiss my dick, hit my cash, I'd rather have you whip my ass
Don't put out? I'll put you out
Won't get out? I'll push you out
Puss blew out, poppin' shit
Wouldn't piss on fire to put you out
Am I too nice? Buy you ice
Bitch if you died, wouldn't buy you life
What you tryin' to be, my new wife?
What you Mariah? Fly through twice
But I do know one thing though
Bitches they come, they go
Saturday through Sunday Monday
Monday through Sunday yo
Maybe I'll love you one day
Maybe we'll someday grow
'Til then just sit your drunk ass on that fuckin' runway hoe

'Cause I can't be your superman
Can't be your superman
Can't be your superman
Can't be your superman
I can't be your superman
Can't be your superman
Can't be your superman
Your superman, your superman

Don't get me wrong
I love these hoes
It's no secret
Everybody knows
Yeah we fucked
Bitch so what?
That's about as far as your buddy goes
We'll be friends
I'll call you again,
I'll chase you around every bar you attend
Never know what kind of car I'll be in
We'll see how much you'll be partying then
You don't want that
Neither do I
I don't wanna flip when I see you with guys
Too much pride
Between you and I
Not a jealous man, but females lie
But I guess that's just what sluts do
How could it ever be just us two?
Never loved you enough to trust you
We just met and I just fucked you
But I do know one thing though
Bitches they come they go
Saturday through Sunday Monday
Monday through Sunday yo
Maybe I'll love you one day
Maybe we'll someday grow
'Till then just sit your drunk ass on that fuckin' runway hoe
I know you want me baby
I think I want you too
I think I love you baby

I think I love you too
I'm here to save you girl
Come be in Shady's world
I wanna grow together
Lets let our love unfurl
You know you want me baby
You know I want you too
They call me Superman
I'm here to rescue you
I wanna save you girl
Come be in Shady's world

Oh boy you drive me crazy
Bitch you make me hurl
First thing you said
I'm not phased,
I hang around big stars all day,
I don't see what the big deal is anyway,
You're just plain ol' Marshall to me
Ooh yeah girl run that game
Hailie Jade I love that name,
Love that tattoo, what's that say?
Rot in pieces' aw that's great
First off you don't know Marshall
At all so don't grow partial
That's ammo for my arsenal
I'll slap you off that bar stool
There goes another lawsuit
Leave hand prints all across you
Good lordy-wody you must be gone off that water bottle
You want what you can't have
Ooh girl that's too damn bad
Don't touch what you can't grab
End up with two back hands
Put Anthrax on a Tampax and slap you till you can't stand
Girl you just blew your chance
Don't mean to ruin your plans
But I do know one thing though
Bitches they come they go
Saturday through Sunday Monday
Monday through Sunday yo
Maybe I'll love you one day
Maybe we'll someday grow
'Til then just sit your drunk ass on that fuckin' runway hoe

I know you want me baby
I think I want you too
I think I love you baby
I think I love you too
I'm here to save you girl
Come be in Shady's world
I wanna grow together
Let's let our love unfurl
You know you want me baby
You know I want you too

I'm here to rescue you
I wanna save you girl
Come be in Shady's world
Oh boy you drive me crazy

'Cause I can't be your superman
Can't be your superman
Can't be your superman
Can't be your superman
I can't be your superman
Can't be your superman

Can't be your superman




Can't be your superman
Your superman, your superman

Overall Meaning

He acknowledges that they are physically attracted to each other but also recognizes that they are not good for each other. Eminem refuses to become emotionally involved and commits to not allowing his partner to bring him down. He asserts that he cannot be her "Superman" and save her from her problems.


Throughout the song, Eminem addresses his partner, calling her derogatory names and insulting her. He also boasts about his fame and reputation, suggesting that he is desirable to women, which gives him the upper hand in relationships. The song illustrates the negative effects of toxic relationships and demonstrates how fame and success can change people and cause them to act in hurtful ways.


"Superman" was released in 2002 as part of Eminem's fourth studio album, "The Eminem Show." The song became a commercial success, reaching the top ten in several countries and receiving a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group. The song's controversial lyrics and explicit content led it to be banned from some radio stations, causing even more publicity for the already popular rapper.

My parents named me after Eminem, hence why my name is Marshal except I lack the extra L. Anyway I really like this mix, a whole lot. I'd listen to my dad while he told me stories when he'd drink and we'd have Eminem or some other rap on. And it just chills me out a lot. It's a great mix to listen to after football practice. Helps me sit back and think back on what i've done in life and what I plan to do. Good job man.

Lucky You was a work of art. The fast paced flow of the lyrics combined with the slow paced beat was an unbelievable mix. By far the best track of this mix, which is already top to bottom a great mix.. Well done.

Thank you so much for this video. I know it doesn’t matter but I’ve been dealing with depression and for some reason these Eminem songs just hit so different in Lofi but in the right way. This is getting me through and I just wanna thank who ever made this. You’re genius man.

The Warm Up

Hope you’re feeling better 🙏🏼

João Paulo Albuquerque

Keep strong, you matter! <3
