Eminem
Dr. Dre Eminem & 50 Cent Lyrics

Check Check, 1-2 , 1-2 1-2 (it's rolling)
Dr. Dre is here and ready to perform

Yea yea yea Dr. Dre up in here y'all know what this is.
The audience knows what to expect when Dr. Dre is on stage

It's what y'all been waiting for Funk Master Flex, Big Kap, Def Jam Records giving it to you baby.
The audience has been anticipating this performance by Dr. Dre and his collaborators

Yo Eminem show these mother fuckers what time it is baby
Eminem is called upon to show off his skills to the audience

I used to be a lonely man, only mad, until I got a million dollars, shit
Dr. Dre was unhappy when he was poor and lonely, but now that he's wealthy he feels better

Now if I only had some fucking hair I'd pull it, faster than a bullet
Dr. Dre is frustrated and stressed out

Out of Tupac's chest before the ambulance came too late to do it
Dr. Dre is referencing Tupac Shakur's death and wishes he could change history

I'm trying to grow it back again, it was an accident
Dr. Dre accidentally cut his hair and is now trying to grow it back

I had my back against the fan and chopped it off in Amsterdam
Dr. Dre accidentally cut his hair with a fan in Amsterdam

I hate the straight jacket it ain't latching, and can't lock it
Dr. Dre dislikes the straight jacket he's in because it doesn't secure him

So they stapled my hand to my pants pockets
Dr. Dre was restrained by a straight jacket and stapled to his pants pockets

The cell's padded and battered like someone else had it
The room Dr. Dre is in is worn and beat up

Before me, and just kept throwing they fucking self's at it
The cell was abused before Dr. Dre was put in it

My head is aching, I'm dedicated to medication
Dr. Dre is suffering and needs medicine to ease his pain

But this med is taking to long to bring me this sedation? (Come on!)
Dr. Dre wants faster relief from his medication

Anyway I got down with Dre (What up?)
Eminem is referencing the beginning of his collaboration with Dr. Dre

The first man who taught me how the glock sounded to spray
Dr. Dre introduced Eminem to the sound of a gun being fired

Running up and down the street screaming, 'Fuck the Police'
Eminem was rebellious and vocal about his views on police brutality

When you still had your mother's fucking Nipple stuck in your teeth (Fucking baby)
Eminem teases Dr. Dre for his age and lack of rebelliousness in his younger years

Became a role model after Colorado
Eminem received a lot of backlash after the mass shooting at Columbine High School in Colorado

Now all they do is follow me around and holla Bravo!
Eminem's success has made him popular and respected

Hell yea I punch my bitch and beat my kids in public
Eminem sarcastically mocks the rumors and lies about his personal life

Suck my dick, bitch
Eminem is being vulgar and rude

I'm sick enough to fuck a man in his face but I won't
Eminem jokes about being unusual but affirms he won't commit violent acts

'Cause you'll probably want to stand in his place
Eminem's joke implies that he is attractive to all types of people

So put a sock in it, with your fake-ass Tupac image
Eminem critiques the lack of authenticity in modern rap artists

You faggots ain't tough, you just get drunk and become talkative
Eminem insults other rappers who portray a tough image, and suggests they only talk and drink alcohol to appear cool

(Want to Fight?) I'm probably the awkwardest alcoholic talking
Eminem is admitting that he's awkward when he's drunk

Walking like a midget with a ladder in his back pocket
Eminem humorously describes how he walks when he's drunk

So when you see me on your block stumbling, mumbling
Eminem warns the audience that he can be unpredictable when he's drunk

A bunch of dumb shit like my drunk uncle does
Eminem is comparing himself to a silly, foolish family member

I ain't buzzed, I'mm juss high on life
Eminem suggests that he doesn't need alcohol or drugs to feel good

So why on earth would I need drugs, when I can fly on kites?
Eminem is saying that he enjoys the natural high of life rather than turning to drugs

Motherfuckers, Slim Shady Dr Dre!
Eminem and Dr. Dre are giving a shout out to themselves

I'm drunk pass the tec
Eminem is referencing his alcohol use

Cause if I get locked up tonight! Then I might not come home tonight!
Eminem is acknowledging the consequences of his actions

Off and on, Eminem is on Off and on, Dr. Dre is On
Eminem and Dr. Dre are discussing their careers and how they come and go

The whole entire world can sit and twirl like a whirling tire
Eminem feels successful and confident in his craft

I set a fucking girl on fire with a curling iron (AHH!) Psych I'm just joking, for christ sake
Eminem is making an inappropriate joke about burning a girl's hair

Don't get so bent out of shape 'Cause I went out and raped six girlfriends
Eminem jokes about a serious topic but is not serious about his words

Some people just don't get it, but I won't let it upset me
Eminem is aware that not everyone will like his music and he won't let it affect him

'Cause they don't know better They don't know what the fuck its like to be so fed up And fed so many uppers you're down and won't get up
Eminem is explaining that he is struggling with drug addiction, which has caused him to feel depressed

My mind's got a mind of it's own, sometimes I can't find it at home It hides in the stove (Hello, where you at?)
Eminem describes the feeling of being disorganized and forgetful

Shit, talk about your brain being baked My shit's still in the oven on 480 De-Grades
Eminem is using humor to say that his mind is still developing and he's still learning

Hailey Jade, daddy loves you baby, Don't ever tell me how to raise my daughter fuck you lady
Eminem is protective of his daughter and doesn't want anyone else to tell him how to raise her

You critics want to criticize but couldnt visualize Individuals lives through a criminal's eyes
Eminem is arguing that critics don't understand the perspective of a criminal, which is what he is portraying in his music

The neighborhood that I grew up in you could die for nothing And Dirty Dozen watches over me so try some dumb shit
Eminem is suggesting that he's from a dangerous neighborhood and that he has protection

I'll have a fucking man raped with a band-aid over his mouth And shove his head in the fan blade
Eminem is being vulgar and violent to mock what people have said about him

Don't ever tell me what I can and what I can't say Or change cause of the age range in my fan base
Eminem is saying that he will speak his mind regardless of who his fans are

Like I give a fuck who's buying this shit Quit fucking buying it, I'm tired bitch, I'm dying to quit
Eminem is criticizing people for buying his music and expresses a desire to stop making it

Hip Hop is universal now, it's all commercial now It's like a circle full of circus clowns up in the circuit now
Eminem is commenting on the corporatization of hip hop and how it's become a spectacle

But now the white kids like it, so they tell me I can buy it But as soon as I get on the mic it's like the night get silent
Eminem is frustrated that his white fanbase is receiving criticism for liking his music

Either that or booed, that's why I keep an attitude And go to sleep with it and wake up with it every afternoon
Eminem has developed a defensive attitude due to criticism and receives a lot of hate

I'm sick of being judged, fuck it let me see a judge I'll confess to every murder I committed since 3 years old
Eminem is tired of being criticized and is willing to take responsibility for his actions

Fuck that, turn that shit off Let's get the fuck out of here You know how we do (echo)
Eminem and Dr. Dre are ready to conclude their performance and move on
