Infinite
Eminem Lyrics

Ayo, my pen and paper cause a chain reaction
My writing has an intense impact on people, causing them to relax and become completely wrapped up in my words, as I act crazy and perform like a maniac on stage. I am very smart and intelligent, while you lack any kind of charm or attraction. When people hear just a small portion of my talented rhymes, they realize how much better I am than anyone else out there.

My rhyming skills got you climbing hills
My ability to craft rhyming verses is so impressive that it makes people feel like they're ascending steep hills. As I flow through your ears and down into the deepest parts of your soul, you'll feel the sensation of my powerful grip as if it's drilling into your spine like a siren blaring in your eyes.

I'm sliming grills of roaches, with spray that disinfects
I'm so talented that I can destroy inferior rappers just as easily as I can kill roaches with poisonous chemicals. Nobody can match me, not even other Roaches, because I am superior.

And twistin' necks of rappers 'til their spinal column disconnects
When I violently turn the heads of other rappers, I can break their spinal columns and disconnect their nerves. By twisting necks and breaking bones, I'm able to silence anyone that dares to go against my talents and skills as a major rapper.

You heard of Hell, well, I was sent from it
When you think of Hell, imagine how difficult it was for the world to receive me -- someone who can only be described as a force of destruction and chaos. Even though I’ve been sent here as a punishment, I’m equipped with skills that will allow me to dominate and take over the rap industry.

I went to it, servin' a sentence for murderin' instruments
I spent time in Hell after committing heinous crimes against music, providing lyrics that were so deadly that they destroyed peoples’ spirits. I’ve been sent to Hell to pay the price for creating such destructive art.

Now I'm tryna repent from it
Now, I want to repent for the destruction I’ve brought on people with my lyrics. I want to make amends for turning my back on the industry by becoming a better person and providing positive and relatable music for my fans.

But when I hear the beat, I'm tempted
However, when I hear a good beat, I always feel the need to jump on it and start rapping about my life and my experiences. I can't resist coming up with new lyrics and music, even though it may trigger negative responses from my past.

To make another attempt at it, I'm Infinite
When I'm creating music, I feel like I’m born again and the entire creative process becomes so natural to me that it appears to be infinite. It's like I've touched a higher power of sorts that is guiding me through every step.

I get cynical, act a fool
Sometimes, when I’m overwhelmed with my talent or the media, I get cynical and frustrated, and act like a fool on stage. I never take myself or my success too seriously and it’s always a good time to get up and have fun and wild out.

Then I send a crew back to school
When a rap crew thinks that they can take me on, I school them by sending them back to where they came from. I'm so much better than my competition that it’s easy to take them down one by one.

I never packed a tool or acted cool, it wasn't practical
I don't need weapons or to be someone I’m not -- I’m already superior and this kind of behavior would be unnecessary. So instead, I prefer to simply remain cool and focused, using my keen talents, skills, and rhymes to take down any challenger.

I'd rather let a tactical, tactful track tickle your fancy
Rather than harming people, I’d prefer to relax them and just play my music, getting my crowd pumped up with great beats and rhymes, creating a more positive atmosphere for everyone to be involved in.

So this is for my family, the kid who had a cameo
In order to show love to my dedicated and loyal fan base, I’ve created this song. I also want to pay homage to my younger self who struggled to find acceptance in the industry.

Be all you can be, 'cause once you make an instant hit
My message to anyone who wants to make it in the industry is to be yourself and work hard to create something that’s truly great. And once you’ve made it and the instant hits start rolling in, you need to stay focused and remind yourself what got you there in the first place.

I'm tensed a bit, and tempted
Even though I’m a successful and accomplished artist, I still get nervous and tense whenever I’m in front of a beat or need to create new music. However, the temptation to create something great always wins out in the end.

When I see the sins my friends commit, I'm Infinite
No matter what my friends do or how they may fall short, I'm always able to forget it and continue to create good music. Again, my passion is almost otherworldly and can't be stopped or contained.
