Medicine Ball
Eminem Lyrics

Oh my goodness
Expressing surprise or shock

What have I done?
Feeling guilt or regret for past actions

Oh no, I can't believe it
Feeling disbelief or shock at a situation

It's like I've got the whole world in my palm
Feeling powerful and in control of a situation

And I'm ready to drop bombs
Prepared to make a big impact or to take drastic action

Welcome to the Slim Shady Mecca, Rebecca
Introducing oneself and providing context

It's the village in New York, right next to the Tribeca
Providing more specific location information

That's my sector, homosexual dissector
Asserting dominance and using shock value

Come again, rewind selector
Asking someone to repeat or backtrack

I said nice rectum, I had a vasectomy, Hector
Using explicit language and humor to shock and offend

So you can't get pregnant if I bisexually wreck ya
Making a crude and offensive joke about bisexuality

Hannibal Lector in the guy section, I bet ya
Referencing a famous character and asserting dominance over men

I tantalize ya in the less than five seconds I get ya
Boasting about his seductive abilities

They say once bitten then twice shy, well lie next to the guy
Making a crude joke about sexual encounters

With nine ecstasy pills and five extra
Referencing drug use in a shocking way

Boxes of ripped condoms and quantities, why yes, sir
Continuing to shock and offend with explicit language

I took the rest of the Lunesta pills for my dresser
Referencing drug use and potential addiction

That's my kind of vibe, what else should I try, Lester?
Asking for further suggestions and hinting at further shocking behavior

Drop-kick the bitch before her second trimester
Advocating for violence against women and fetuses

Performed the home abortion with Dexter, then I guess I'll
Continuing to shock and offend with graphic details

Dig her fetus out with a wire hanger, then digest her
Continuing to make crude and offensive jokes about abortion and cannibalism

I guess it's time for you to hate me again
Asserting that he is disliked by many people

Let's begin, now hand me the pen
Starting a new section or verse of the song

How should I begin it and where does it all end?
Reflecting on the direction and implications of his actions

The world is just my medicine ball, you're all in
Feeling in control of the world and those around him

Put a balloon inside your pussy, queef, and blow it up
Continuing to make crude and offensive jokes about women's bodies

Man, I think that he just fell off the deep end, sure enough
Acknowledging that his behavior is extreme and shocking

So you better change the station to keep from throwin' up
Recognizing that some people may be disgusted by his words and actions

Man, you seen it all before, you're all to familiar with it
Acknowledging that some people may be desensitized to his behavior

There's a penis on the floor and two balls, so you know who did it
Continuing to make crude and explicit jokes

You know you with it, girl, don't front, oh no, you didn't
Assuming that women are interested in him and using aggressive language to assert this

I won't rape all the Pussycat Dolls? Nicole, you kiddin'?
Making a crude and offensive joke about rape and celebrity culture

I'll pee on Rihanna, see man, I do what I wanna
Boasting about his power and ability to do whatever he wants

Spray perfume in the sauna room, crazy gluin' Madonna
Continuing to boast about shocking and disrespectful behavior

To the La-Z-Boy sofa, fold her in two, then sit on her
Continuing to make crude and explicit jokes

Imagine the visual for that, man, who would've thought I
Continuing to shock and offend with graphic descriptions

Could ever be such a relentless prick, unleashin' his vengeance
Asserting his power and dominance over others

But the chick's so old, she looks like she outlived a life sentence
Making a crude and offensive joke about an older woman's appearance

I never meant this rhyme to be so offensive
Claiming that his words were not intended to be hurtful or disrespectful

If you weren't so defensive, it wouldn't be, you're so sensitive
Blaming others for their reactions to his offensive behavior

Put Christopher Reeves on a unicycle with a kickstand
Making a crude and offensive joke about a disabled person

Kick it up and push him and lead him right into quicksand
Continuing to make crude and offensive jokes about a disabled person

Here, you need a hand, big man? Grab hold of this branch
Dismissing the needs and struggles of a disabled person

With both hands, man, they don't understand I'm just a sick man
Claiming that his offensive behavior is the result of being mentally ill

Now everybody's pissed at me like it's my fault
Recognizing that his words and actions may have consequences

His name rhymes with so many different words, jeez
Making a crude and insensitive joke about a disabled person's name

Eminem, I'm coming to kill you
Making a violent and threatening statement

Always hated you, and I still do
Expressing disdain and hatred towards the artist

You'll never fill my shoes, my Superman costume
Asserting that the artist will never measure up or be as successful as the singer

Doesn't even fit you, they don't feel you
Continuing to assert the artist's inadequacy

Who do you think you are? Hang my suit up in the armoire
Disrespecting the artist by comparing him unfavorably to the singer

Everyday I hate you more and more
Continuing to express hatred and disdain towards the artist

Throw down the cardboard
Signal to start a breakdance battle (as cardboard is used as a platform for breakdancing)

Let's break down you think you're hardcore
Challenging the artist's perceived toughness or legitimacy

The world is mine
Expressing a sense of entitlement and control over the world
