Bad Guys Always Die
Dr Dre/Eminem Lyrics

The wild, Gotham
The chaotic and ruthless city of Gotham

The Wild West
The lawless and dangerous frontier of the Wild West

Ha ha, ride
Embracing the wild and thrilling ride of life

All you see is the sun, reflecting off of the gun
The intense focus on the impending conflict, with the sun highlighting the weapon

Ready for the showdown, that go down at one
Prepared for the decisive confrontation that will occur at one o'clock

Sweat on my brow, let's settle it now
Feeling the tension and determination to resolve the situation immediately

I'mma show you how real cowboys get down
Demonstrating the true spirit and grit of a cowboy

I'm polishing gold, waiting for this drama to unfold
Preparing and anticipating the unfolding of the dramatic events

I got a blunt rolled
Having a marijuana cigarette prepared for relaxation and focus

Feeling bold, gangsters blood runs cold
Feeling courageous and fearless, intimidating even the toughest criminals

It's time to reload this old .45 colt
Preparing to reload the classic .45 caliber handgun

The wind's gusty, it's hot, muggy and dusty
Describing the harsh and uncomfortable weather conditions

Bust a couple shots, make sure I'm not rusty
Firing a few shots to ensure accuracy and proficiency

It's passed noon, he should be here soon
Realizing the appointed time is approaching and expecting the arrival of the adversary

Sip a little moonshine inside a saloon
Indulging in some illicitly distilled alcohol in a Western-style bar

All of a sudden I can hear the sound of hooves
Noticing the approaching danger through the sound of galloping horses

Sounds like a thousand wolves
Perceiving the approaching threat as a numerous and intimidating force

I cock back, put the toast in the holster and froze
Preparing the gun and calmly anticipating the confrontation

I pose like a poster, he's closer than close
Assuming a poised and confident stance as the adversary gets closer

I hold the heat sturdy, I heard he fights dirty
Holding the gun firmly, aware that the opponent may use unfair tactics

But I'mma put thirty inside him and leave early
Determined to shoot the adversary thirty times and quickly depart from the scene

And just when I went to fill him with hot lead
When I was about to shoot him with bullets

I put the gun to his head, and this is what he said
Pointing the gun at his head, and he responded with these words

You never met me, and you'll probably never see me again
You don't know me, and it's unlikely we'll cross paths again

But I know you - the name's Slim - you want revenge?
I'm familiar with you - I'm called Slim - and you seek retribution?

Then don't shoot, I'm in the same boots as you
If that's the case, don't pull the trigger, we're in similar circumstances

I'm telling the truth, I got a price on my head too, 'cause when you-
I'm being honest, there's also a reward for killing me, because when you...

You ride like a cowboy toward the sun
You live your life with bravery and determination

And life ain't fun, when you're on the run
Life becomes challenging and devoid of enjoyment when you're constantly fleeing

Got your gold and you got your gun
You possess your wealth and a weapon for protection

The life as an outlaw just begun
Embarking on a new chapter as a lawbreaker

Got your shotgun by your side
Keeping your shotgun within reach

Got your horse and you got your pride
Having a reliable horse and maintaining a sense of dignity

You ride till there ain't no place to hide
Continuing to move until there's nowhere left to seek refuge

It's sad 'cause the bad guys always die
Unfortunately, the villains often meet their demise

He was 'Shady', I seen by the look on his face
He had a deceptive and cunning demeanor, evident from his expression

He said take ten paces shit I took eight
He instructed me to walk ten steps, but I only took eight due to my eagerness

Spun around and I aimed straight for the brain
Swiftly turned and aimed directly for his head

My shit went bang but it only fired a blank, he said
My firearm produced a noise, but it didn't discharge a bullet, he remarked

You need bullets, hurry up run!
You lack ammunition, quickly go and retrieve some!

I put a clip in the gun, and pointed at his lungs
I loaded a magazine into the gun, aiming at his chest

We both drew at the same time and stood stunned
We simultaneously drew our weapons and were momentarily shocked

Go ahead, shoot me, but I'm not the one you want
You may freely shoot me, but I'm not the individual you desire

I figured he was telling the truth, that's why I didn't shoot
I believed his statement to be genuine, which is why I refrained from firing

So what we gon' do? it's on you
What is our plan now? The decision is up to you

Do you recall when you and Snoop was a group?
Do you remember when you and Snoop Dogg were a duo?

The Chronic
Referencing the iconic album 'The Chronic' by Dr. Dre

Well all we gotta do is find a map to part two
Our task is simply to locate a map leading to the sequel

And plus I know who's got it
Furthermore, I know who possesses it

Who?
Who are you referring to?

Some old dude, he's got 26 plaques and he already sold two
An older man, who has received numerous accolades and sold two albums

Loaded up my saddle, got ready for battle
Equipping myself for combat, preparing my weapons

Hid two pieces of gold inside of my satchel
Concealing two valuable items in my bag

We rolled two miles until we hit the spot
We traveled a distance of two miles until we reached our destination

An old ghost town that everybody forgot
A deserted town that has been abandoned and overlooked

A place where they used to smoke chronic a lot
A location where people frequently consumed marijuana

Slim grabbed the shotgun 'Dre here's the plot
Slim seized the shotgun and said, 'Dre, here's the plan'

This is the spot, they call him Doc Loveless
This is the location, and the individual is known as Doc Loveless

He's going around saying he took the game from us
He's boasting that he has taken control of the music industry from us

Let's shoot him in his kneecaps, he'll never see it comin'
We should aim for his knees, catching him off guard and unable to respond

But he ain't got no legs, they cut them off at the stomach
However, he doesn't have any legs, as they were amputated at the stomach

He's got mechanical legs, he spins webs
He possesses prosthetic legs, which allow him to move quickly and creates intricate plans

Plus he's well-respected by the hip-hop heads
Furthermore, he is held in high regard by the hip-hop community

Our mission is to get him to stop laying eggs
Our objective is to prevent him from spreading his influence and ideas

And we can put him on his back down a flight of steps
We can incapacitate him and make him fall backwards down a set of stairs

I drew two guns, spun them on my fingers
I took out two guns and skillfully twirled them around my fingers

Kicked the swinging doors in, started gun slinging
I forcefully kicked open the doors and began firing my guns rapidly

I could hear somebody singing
I could hear someone singing

It sounded like a 'G Thang' and a verse from 'Keep Their Heads Ringin'
It resembled the song 'Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang' and a verse from 'Keep Their Heads Ringin'

I said 'It's Dre's Day', and started to spray
I declared that it was Dr. Dre's day and began shooting

It's 1800, he pulls an AK
In response, he brings out an AK-47 rifle

Hollow tips started flyin every which way
Bullets started flying in all directions

That's when I seen Dre in trouble and came with the gauge
That's when I saw Dr. Dre in danger and approached with my shotgun

I fired the first shot, spun his body around
I initiated the attack by firing the initial shot, causing his body to rotate

He hit the ground and landed upside down
He fell to the ground and ended up in an inverted position

Dre grabbed the map, the plaques and the gold
Dr. Dre took hold of the map, the awards, and the gold

I grabbed two girlies and a blunt that's rolled
I seized two attractive women and a marijuana cigarette that had been prepared

You ride like a cowboy toward the sun
You live your life with bravery and determination

And life ain't fun, when you're on the run
Life becomes challenging and devoid of enjoyment when you're constantly fleeing

Got your gold and you got your gun
You possess your wealth and a weapon for protection

The life as an outlaw just begun
Embarking on a new chapter as a lawbreaker

Got your shotgun by your side
Keeping your shotgun within reach

Got your horse and you got your pride
Having a reliable horse and maintaining a sense of dignity

You ride till there ain't no place to hide
Continuing to move until there's nowhere left to seek refuge

It's sad 'cause the bad guys always die
Unfortunately, the villains often meet their demise

You ride like a cowboy toward the sun
You live your life with bravery and determination

And life ain't fun, when you're on the run
Life becomes challenging and devoid of enjoyment when you're constantly fleeing

Got your gold and you got your gun
You possess your wealth and a weapon for protection

The life as an outlaw just begun
Embarking on a new chapter as a lawbreaker

Got your shotgun by your side
Keeping your shotgun within reach

Got your horse and you got your pride
Having a reliable horse and maintaining a sense of dignity

You ride till there ain't no place to hide
Continuing to move until there's nowhere left to seek refuge

It's sad 'cause the bad guys always die
Unfortunately, the villains often meet their demise
