Redemption
E.m.i.n.e.m Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uh ok ya tu sabes El Tiburon, uh
Beat so dirty ok yup dale
Step one wreck one and
then i'm on to the next one
I'm getting aces on all exams
That I test on I'm the best on any track
That I jump on and you incomplete like
A muthafuckin' run-on raving inside of
My mind I turn up I don't turn on
And this fire inside of me continues to burn on
So you're gonna need far more than a fire extinguisher
I'm the punisher coming to redeem myself
And build up and stack up the chips and my wealth
Like a jet plane with the stealth supersonic speed
Not satisfied with being a nominee
I have no doubts of my abilities
And I can't stand this modern day fragility
Stepped in the game balanced out equations
That's hard for a dude that's got impatience
So raise your hand all global citizens




And have hope that I'm different
I'm Thanos and so ya yo no hablo

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Eminem's song Redemption showcase his confidence and determination to prove himself in the rap game. The opening line, "Uh ok ya tu sabes El Tiburon, uh," loosely translates to "Okay, you already know, the shark is here." This sets the tone for the rest of the song as Eminem talks about his skills being unmatched and his ability to succeed in any test or challenge thrown his way. He talks about his mind being on fire and not needing anyone to turn him on or ignite his passion.


In the second verse, he compares himself to a superhero, saying that he is the Punisher coming to redeem himself. He mentions his desire to build up his wealth like a jet plane with supersonic speed. He acknowledges his impatience but also highlights his ability to balance equations in the rap game. He invites all global citizens to raise their hands and have hope in his unique abilities. The line "I'm Thanos and so ya yo no hablo" is a playful reference to the villain in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and means "I'm Thanos, and so yeah, I don't speak" in Spanish.

This is Denace, not Eminem. I downloaded The Denace redemption full album. It's 41 minutes long, I have the same songs as you, but, you don't have 15 songs like i do. You got 4 songs wrong by the way including the title. Here's the ones you got wrong!
1. It's not called Eminem New album Redemption 2013. It's called Denace redemption album and it's by Denace not Eminem.
The songs you got wrong
1. care for opinions ( not I don't care for opinions)
2. so cold (not feel this way)
3. farewell ( not so low)
8. Tired of being broke (not tired)
close enough, doesn't count.
Hey everybody check out my Denace redemption full album. I have 15 songs in the album. I even have the correct songs written down, unlike this fool and i have more than 10 songs.
You leave negative comment's, i will delete them. I wrote that down as well

The first song in this is one of my favorite songs of time

@marlajhiorns

if you compare the two at the same time, although very similar, there's a big difference in their voices

@cole7639

Good music play list of Eminem

@juanka864

Very Beautiful Album  ! ( :

@Krysiiis

Eminem is amazing denace is getting critized for something others are doing he doesn't wanna b em he says it in the song hated on, so If you listen to his lyrics his flow isn't even close to the level ems is, eminem is a king and when he is gone denace might be the only other person that keeps rap alive

@marlajhiorns

yeah, I realize that now,& the more I listen

@Femalecommaman

You (and a few other people) have this album as Eminem's album redemption. It isn't Eminem, it's Denace. Why are you trying to give Eminem credit for an album that was released by Denace? People are calling him "an Eminem wannabe" which isn't true. He's not Eminem, and he doesn't want to be. He's Denace and he's completely different than Eminem!
