Emulate
Eminem; Obie Trice Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Verse 1- Obie Trice]
Obie the person who came up inverted
Cause of nervousness, that was soley the only verdict
It was worth it cause he changed, became so observant
Certain such of a purpose, if you knew him earlier
From the days its like a different version
So much hurtin' and pain, gave him game for certain
That's why its curtains and its murder if you get him worked up
I'm so assertive on these mothafuckas actin' tougher
Had enough of isolatin' myself in the room
Writin' poems and songs doin' the same at school
Now look what he became a fool
Cause he learned how to sustain his two
And noctain fame from you
Livin' hard but still Julliard, a God walks
And ain't spent a day in the pew
Reguardless of this, I draw visuals pictures when a ***** vents
So welcome to the art department

[Verse 2- Eminem]
I stimulate the brain, mimic emulate the sane
Cynics keep on thinkin' its a fuckin' gimick when it ain't
Clinically insane, brain is on Venus, suck Uranus
Label me a genius, if you ever seen us you would say
He may seem as though he's plain normal
If you ever meet him, greet with a shake
See he ain't as mean as what they say
See the thing is maybe he can't always think of things to say
So he's vague, so they mistake for just being crazed
You part ways, your impression will have changed
You don't think he's strange, you'll turn around and tell him peace and thanks




And catch him flippin' you off with his pants off, hands around his scrotum
Tuckin' his fuckin' penis between his legs

So yeah, this & Give Me the Ball won't be on my King Mathers (when I update it) for the sake of being more accurate. I will update it with new leaks (if they ever leak...) to replace where these songs were. For now, my current version will still have 'em

@syedsayeed742

Add pistol poppin back😈

@RoccoArgubright

why though??

@JohnBanana

@Sergeant Argubright Learn to read descriptions

@RoccoArgubright

@John_Banana I did b4 you replied. You never explain why it would make KM more accurate

@JohnBanana

@Sergeant Argubright i did, even in the first sentence. a 2004-2005 mixtape song is literally not king mathers in any way shape or form. reread it, and use your logic to see why the song information points it in the direction of being left off of king mathers. i mean, we already knew this. i just bent the rules on my old KM but now i’m trying to be more faithful to the year 2007

@juliank.9446

I just want Em to produce his own songs again

@Shadydan05

@Shadydan05
