D12 (Eminem) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm the devil, if ever there was such a thing
The results of much too many drugs what you're seeing
I'm a mindfuck, completely dis-(gu-uh-uh)-sting
I'm (what), a human mutt fuck a being I'm a dog
Fuck lambs, I'm silencing 'em all
I'm involved in murders forensic science couldn't solve
Giant set of balls too big to buy a set of drawers
Might as well unzip my fly and let 'em fall to the floor
Each thought's completely warped
I'm like a walking, talking, Ouija board
Speaking in tongues, I've never spoke this speech before
Hhem-delle-la, ennich-me-noughh-mi-niche-mick-norrf
Have you ever experienced spirits in lyrics when you hear 'em
'til you scared to stare in into any mirrors when you near 'em?
Well if so, get ready for some shit, yo
"Is this some kind of sick joke?" Shit no, motherfucking schizo
So disturbed, he just goes so berserk, he tiptoes
Fist first with scissors to slit throats of just hoes
Just goes to shizzow you dizzon't, fizzuck with
So-someone this disturbed, sa-sippin on si-zzurp
So lock your doors, drop to the floors
Get your shotguns drawn here comes another "Clockwork Orange"
Look at Bizarre, you really think he's right in his mind?
What the fuck you think's goin' through when he's writin' his rhyme

You bout to, journey into the mind of a psychopath killer
Blood spiller, mentality much iller
Than you could ever imagine in your wildest dreams
You'll feel his pain and his silent screams
You bout to, journey into the mind of a psychopath killer
Blood spiller, mentality much iller
Than you could ever imagine in your wildest dreams
You'll feel his pain and his violent screams

It's Friday night, I'm at a rave again
Picking up transvestites on my Harley-Davidson (hey hop on)
My girlfriend's a crackhead whore
She'll come to your door, suck your dick on the floor
And take your bottles to the store (nigga, I'm takin these)
Have you ever seen a bitch get beat because she won't cheat
Run the street and suck another nigga's meat?
My son's sixteen years old with nowhere to stay (dad it's me)
I told him he wasn't mine, slammed the door in his face
And I ain't got no food, my job I've been cheated
My girlfriend had a miscarriage (I'm sorry) I had to eat it (ohh)
My dick is burning, it ain't cause of disease
Because I'm jacking off with gasoline mixed with antifreeze (AHH!)
I'm living in Waco Texas, me and my girl
Fuck David Koresh, I'm starting my own world
It's called Bizarre Cemetery, it's scary
Eating a virgin's cherry, then I'm gonna laugh at you Carrie

You bout to, journey into the mind of a psychopath killer
Blood spiller, mentality much iller
Than you could ever imagine in your wildest dreams
You'll feel his pain and his silent screams
You bout to, journey into the mind of a psychopath killer
Blood spiller, mentality much iller
Than you could ever imagine in your wildest dreams
You'll feel his pain and his violent screams

I was born feet first, smoke 40's and drink weed
The Lord rehearsed my birth, I'm the worst breed
A nigga you ever set sight on, my right arm's
Got more power than 5 of Ivan Drago's pythons so
"Journey into the mind of a psychopath killer"
Light yo' ass like a liquid nitro-gas spiller
Psycho slash Michael Myers, Michael Jack's "Thriller"
Rifle slash knife faggot that's your "Cop Killer"
As a yung'un, I was beat where I was living (aight)
Cross-dressed just to get thrown in the women's prison
I guess I was just stressed to be a hoodlum
Being pressed caused the stress that caused the Ritalin
Pressed stressed and Ritalin caused the cop's feelings
To be hurt after they seen what I did to those children
I'm vulgaric, you Bo Derek; I throw you face flat off the terrace
So you can have somethin' to stare at

You bout to, journey into the mind of a psychopath killer
Blood spiller, mentality much iller
Than you could ever imagine in your wildest dreams
You'll feel his pain and his silent screams
You bout to, journey into the mind of a psychopath killer
Blood spiller, mentality much iller




Than you could ever imagine in your wildest dreams
You'll feel his pain and his violent screams

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to D12 (Eminem)'s song American Psycho are a depiction of the mind of a psychopath killer. The singer declares themselves to be the devil and explains that the results of too many drugs have led to their warped state of being. They claim to be completely disgusting and a "human mutt" who is more animal than human - "fuck lambs, I'm silencing 'em all". The singer boasts about being involved in murders that forensic science couldn't solve, and their balls being too big to buy a set of drawers. Each of their thoughts is completely warped, a walking and talking Ouija board, speaking in tongues. The chorus warns the listener that they are about to enter the mind of a blood-spilling psychopath killer and feel their pain and violent screams.


The second verse delves further into the psyche of the singer, who claims to be picking up transvestites and invites listeners to hop on their Harley-Davidson. They describe their girlfriend as a crackhead whore who will do whatever it takes to get her fix, including sucking another man's meat. The singer has a sixteen-year-old son who they claim not to be theirs, and they recall slamming the door in his face. They claim to have had to eat their girlfriend's miscarriage, their dick is burning from jacking off with gasoline mixed with antifreeze, and they are living in Waco, Texas, starting their own world called Bizarre Cemetery. The third verse continues with the singer detailing their birth, smoking 40s and drinking weed. They boast their right arm has more power than five of Ivan Drago's pythons and make references to Michael Myers and Michael Jack's "Thriller." The singer describes being beat in their childhood and cross-dressing to get thrown into a women's prison. They claim to have caused police officers' hurt feelings, and they are willing to throw listeners' faces flat off the terrace.

The song is one of the tracks that resulted from the writing sessions of D12's debut album, Devil's Night. It was also featured on the soundtrack for the movie "Blade: Trinity." The track "American Psycho" was not released as a single from the album, but the album itself became a commercial success, reaching number one on the Billboard 200 chart. The song features disturbing lyrics that portray a psychopathic character intent on causing harm to others. It is a display of Eminem's controversial style, which often deals with gruesome and violent themes. The song has also been praised for its use of horror movie references and its overall dark tone.

The chords to the song American Psycho are not publicly known as it is a rap song, typically performed to a beat rather than a chord progression. The song does not feature a guitar or any other typical musical instrument, but the eerie and unsettling backing track does set the tone for the unsettling lyrics. The song is an excellent example of Eminem's dark lyrical themes, and the chorus serves as a warning that listeners are about to be thrown into the mind of a psychopathic killer.
