The track is one of three on the album that uses a sample from Alfred Hitchcock’s 1958 album of the same name as this one, "Music to Be Murdered By", as the introduction of this track comes from Hitchcock’s “I Don’t Stand a Ghost of a Chance With You.”

In a 2011 interview with Rolling Stone Em revealed how this song’s title was involved in his childhood:

"'I just never really got into books. My great-aunt Edna, she would read to me sometimes, like The Little Engine That Could.'"

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I trust that everyone is enjoying the music
As the title of the album suggests
This was meant for your listening pleasure
While you are being done in

Call this evil intent, like me in a limo (yeah)
Like the shade in these windows
Smoke gray, ladies go mental

But no way they can see in though (nah)
OJ blade is a pencil (yeah)
Propane takin' my cranium
Code name Titanium Temple
I almost swallowed my car
I call my Mercedes a Benzo
Bitch, I ball like a baby
Ball like J, but not Jay as in
Jay-Z, J as in Leno
'Cause I got a huge mansion
No, huge man chin, new Manson, loose cannon
Too scandalous, Sue Atkins
The kinda crazy you can't fix
I'm still the one your parents hate
I'm in your house eatin' carrot cake
While I sit there and wait and I marinate
I'm irritated, you 'bout to meet a scary fate
And come home to find yourself starin' straight
Into a fuckin' barrel like Sharon Tate
Dre's on concerto while I narrate
Yeah, you be on the straight and narrow like a fuckin' arrow shape
I be on a higher plane in aerospace
With so much leg room and air space on this airplane
Unlike you 'cause you're on a flight too, but it's a staircase

Now, little engine go, finna vrin-vrin go
I'm losin' control
Heroin and blow, Marilyn Monroe
Over-d-dose
Time to Ri-Rick Roll, up the Indo
Like a win-window
Little engine gone, little engine gone

I am the top selling, who cares?
Stop dwelling, then stop yelling
I'm not yelling, you're yelling
Smart-aleck, goddammit
Fuck is that? Stop hammering (Goddamn)
That's what it sounds like in my brain
Much as I fight to restrain
I have the right to remain violent
Any rhyme that I say can and will be used against you
Icicle veins, mics'll get slain
Like they were strangled with bicycle chains
You're gonna have to come identify the remains, wait, what?
I said my head is twisted like a bread tie (yup)
Can't get a fuckin' word in edgewise (shut up)
Success overnight like a red eye (bitch)
Dressed like a Jedi at a Best Buy on the Westside
I'm hot, dawg, no you're not, I'm the guy with the Oscar at Meijers
In appliances by the washers and dryers
Chick ran up like, "Marshall, on fire"
I looked down and said, "No, I'm not, you're a liar"
She said, "No, your music
Heard you're back with the Doctor," then I heard

Overall Meaning

The song "Little Engine" by Eminem is one of the songs in his album "Music to Be Murdered By". The song has different meanings depending on how you interpret the lyrics. One way to interpret it is that Eminem is telling his listeners that they can still enjoy music amidst everything that's happening. The lines "This was meant for your listening pleasure, while you are being done in" suggest that despite the negative things happening around, people can still find joy in listening to music.

Another way to interpret the song is that Eminem is describing himself as a loose cannon, crazy and untamed. He talks about his car, Mercedes Benz, and a huge mansion. But amidst the wealth, he still considers himself unstable or a loose cannon. The lyrics "New Manson, loose cannon, Too scandalous, Sue Atkins, the kind of crazy you can't fix" suggests this.

As for the chorus of the song, "Little engine gone, little engine gone," it may suggest that Eminem's potential is starting to fade. Additionally, the song features a sample from the 1970 song "Flight of the Little Bird" by Jean-Jacques Perry.

Eminem's flow is the beat. I feel like they choose a beat after they hear him spit. Even the beat struggles to keep up.

@sfsaviation

3y↑17

I think I heard on an interview somewhere that he has so many flows/rhymes he came up with but cant use because the beats he gets don't fit them well enough. He gets a basic beat he likes, makes a flow, then molds both around eachother and adds to the beat.

@quackityalt7213

Seth Kerstetter in battle rap that’s called a slow down it’s supposed to catch you off guard the second time he says it. When you heard it the first time you can’t tell me you heard man-chin first.. plus he was talking about ballin before Leno, so he already had it set up for the Leno punch line

"Little Engine" is his brain. The hook is meant to mimic the writing process. Create multiple syllable words that rhyme, then connect them at a later time and make punchlines/metaphors/similes/etc out of them. During this song you'll notice he murders a streak of bars, and then in others he's just trying to get into his next idea. So abstract that its amazing. Literally telling future rappers to just start writing and it'll lead to genius. Well done Marshall

Is it me or is it almost like Eminem is being a teacher breaking down his own lines just so he can make you understand an sense of how to rap?
idioms,synonyms,homophones,syllables,
adjectives,verbs, wordplays punchlines even putting some treats in to keep your attention?

Or am I just going crazy ?

Come to think of it in one of his interviews he said their are some lines that are so complex he has to change the meaning just so listeners can understand the he complexity of his schemes lol just imagine him not holding back

@StanZ eee He's most likely never gonna do that because of 'Revival-effect". After promoting Revival and people ignorantly judged the tracklist while expecting specific genres, that effected his sales MAJORLY. However, when he dropped Kamikaze and Music to be Murdered By, you had no clue what to expect.
