'Till I Collapse
Eminem Lyrics

'Cause sometimes you just feel tired (yo, left, yo, left)
You feel weak (yo left, right, left)
And when you feel weak (yo, left)
You feel like you wanna just give up (yo, left)
But you gotta search within you (yo left, right, left)
You gotta find that inner strength (yo, left) (yo, left)
And just pull that shit out of you (yo left, right, left)
And get that motivation to not give up (yo, left, yo, left)
And not be a quitter (yo, left, yo, left)
No matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face and collapse (yo left, right, left)

'Til I collapse I'm spilling these raps long as you feel 'em
'Til the day that I drop you'll never say that I'm not killing 'em
'Cause when I am not, then I'ma stop pennin' 'em
And I am not hip-hop and I'm just not Eminem
Subliminal thoughts, when I'ma stop sending 'em?
Women are caught in webs, spin 'em and hock venom
Adrenaline shots of penicillin could not get the illin' to stop
Amoxicillin's just not real enough
The criminal, cop killing, hip-hop villain
A minimal swap to cop millions of Pac listeners
You're coming with me, feel it or not
You're gonna fear it like I showed you the spirit of God lives in us
You hear it a lot, lyrics that shock, is it a miracle (ohh, ohh, ohh)
Or am I just a product of pop fizzing up (ohh, ohh)
Fo' shizzle my wizzle, this is the plot, listen up (ohh, ohh, ohh)
You bizzles forgot, Slizzle does not give a fuck (ohh, ohh)

'Til the roof comes off, 'til the lights go out
'Til my legs give out, can't shut my mouth
'Til the smoke clears out, am I high? Perhaps
I'ma rip this shit 'til my bone collapse (until the roof)
'Til the roof comes off, 'til the lights go out (until the roof) (the roof comes off)
'Til my legs give out, can't shut my mouth (the roof comes off) (until my legs)
'Til the smoke clears out, am I high? Perhaps (until my legs)
I'ma rip this shit 'til my bone collapse (give out from underneath me)

Music is like magic, there's a certain feeling you get
When you're real and you spit and people are feeling your shit
This is your moment, and every single minute you spend
Tryna hold onto it 'cause you may never get it again
So while you're in it try to get as much shit as you can
And when your run is over just admit when it's at its end
'Cause I'm at the end of my wits with half the shit that gets in
I got a list, here's the order of my list that it's in
It goes, Reggie, Jay-Z, Tupac and Biggie
Andre from Outkast, Jada, Kurupt, Nas and then me
But in this industry I'm the cause of a lot of envy
So when I'm not put on this list the shit does not offend me
That's why you see me walk around like nothing's bothering me (ohh, ohh, ohh)
Even though half you people got a fuckin' problem with me (ohh, ohh)
You hate it but you know respect you've got to give me (ohh, ohh, ohh)
The press's wet dream, like Bobby and Whitney, Nate hit me (ohh, ohh)

'Til the roof comes off, 'til the lights go out
'Til my legs give out, can't shut my mouth
'Til the smoke clears out, am I high? Perhaps
I'ma rip this shit 'til my bone collapse (until the roof)
'Til the roof comes off, 'til the lights go out (until the roof) (the roof comes off)
'Til my legs give out, can't shut my mouth (the roof comes off) (until my legs)
'Til the smoke clears out, am I high? Perhaps (until my legs)
I'ma rip this shit 'til my bone collapse (give out from underneath me)

Soon as a verse starts, I eat at an MC's heart
What is he thinking? How not to go against me? Smart
And it's absurd how people hang on every word
I'll probably never get the props I feel I ever deserve
But I'll never be served, my spot is forever reserved
If I ever leave earth that would be the death of me first
'Cause in my heart of hearts I know nothing could ever be worse
That's why I'm clever when I put together every verse
My thoughts are sporadic, I act like I'm an addict
I rap like I'm addicted to smack like I'm Kim Mathers
But I don't wanna go forth and back in constant battles
The fact is I would rather sit back and bomb some rappers
So this is like a full blown attack I'm launching at 'em (ohh, ohh, ohh)
The track is on some battlin' raps who want some static (ohh, ohh)
'Cause I don't really think that the fact that I'm Slim matters (ohh, ohh, ohh)
A plaque and platinum status is wack if I'm not the baddest (ohh, ohh)

'Til the roof comes off, 'til the lights go out
'Til my legs give out, can't shut my mouth
'Til the smoke clears out, am I high? Perhaps
I'ma rip this shit 'til my bone collapse (until the roof)
'Til the roof comes off, 'til the lights go out (until the roof) (the roof comes off)
'Til my legs give out, can't shut my mouth (the roof comes off) (until my legs)
'Til the smoke clears out, am I high? Perhaps (until my legs)
I'ma rip this shit 'til my bone collapse (give out from underneath me)

Until the roof (until the roof)
The roof comes off (the roof comes off)
Until my legs (until my legs)
Give out from underneath me now

I, I will not fall
I will stand tall
Feels like no one can beat me

In 2018 it was certified quintuple-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America for digital sales of 5,000,000 copies in the United States. When Eminem's single "Shake That" (also featuring Nate Dogg) was released in 2006, several Eminem songs re-charted that same week, including "'Till I Collapse". It charted in the United Kingdom at number 192 on 15 April 2006. In 2008, it appeared in HBO's Oscar de la Hoya – Manny Pacquiao 24/7.

In 2009, it was used in an advert for the then-upcoming game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. It raised digital download sales of the song worldwide considerably, but in Britain the song sold so many copies after the advert aired that it re-charted that week (21 November 2009) at number 73, a new peak. Shane Mosley used this song as an entrance theme with his bout with Floyd Mayweather as did Shane Carwin for his bout against Junior dos Santos. Major League Baseball pitcher Jesse Litsch used the song as his entrance music during the 2011 season. The song has also been used in the credits of the Season 8 premiere of Entourage. It was also used in September 2011 in the trailer and soundtrack for the film Real Steel, and in trailers and TV spots for the Oliver Stone-directed film Savages. During the 2013–14 NBA season, the song was used during the Brooklyn Nets' team introductions.
