Oh no
Eminem Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

[Intro]
Oh no what's happening to my brain
I can't believe this is happening again

[Verse 1]
Lava out my lips I flips
Wake up think I have a cramp
I'm trying to shove the lava lamp up my father's ass
I think I'm out of gas, man
I think I need another mask
I'd ask my mother but I think she's laughing at the plants
A half a gram of graham crackers and some Van de Kamp's
I think I'll eat some Ambiens like they're candied yams
Cut a couple cadavers up and have a little snack
Abraf-ckingcadabra motherf-cker look who's back
Just like a pendulum, Satan's pentagram swings
I accidentally dented it and bent the damn thing
Shit I think I might have did it when I was dancing
While I was chopping one of my legs off and pulled a hamstring
First I Re-up, then I Relapse
Go to rehab then I Detox after I see Doc
And I'll be back with the sequel, repeat the cycle
Cause I react like the She-Hulk when I see Nyquil

[Hook]
Oh no
Here we go again
When it's going to end
Where did it begin
Maybe way back when

[Verse 2]
Into the well, baby Jessica fell
She may have wetted herself
Quit playing, get her some help
Mary Kay Letourneau sending me letters from jail
Every day in journals saying how
She wanted to smother me in lettuce and mayo

I'm the medicine man
My medical marijuana was prescribed by a doctor
Shove a typewriter up her
Perez Hilton's ass, shit, almost forgot that
He's always shoving something up his ass so why not that?
And f-ck it while I'm venting let's shove a vending machine
Up his rear end when he's bending over pretending that he
Didn't say anything that would be offending to me
Stick his head in a blender, begin blending in G
Where should I put the pink sissy with the fluffy hair?
Put him under the stairs? People are already under there
Hmm, I wonder where. Wait, I think the cubpoard's bare
Stuff him up in the tupperware and shove him up in there

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
Vicod* like a nitrogen hydrogen vitamin
I bite into five and then I get high as a kite again
I like it when I get in my zone on the mic again
Who am I kidding? I couldn't quit this shit if my life depends
I relapsed twice after I came outta Brighton then
Yeah, rehab's nice, I had my name up in lights again
You see that's why I can't decipher what life I'm in
I might pull a knife on your wife and slice her and dice her then
It sounds so enticing, isn't it nice when I'm hype again?
I'm nice when I'm like this, no time to write just type it in
If I could get my pen to slow down, what'd I write just then?
Man I'm about to hyperventilate, I just have hyper-tension
I have the type of mental state you couldn't comprehend
Unusually stupid of you for you to think I'm your friend
I usually do what I do and suffer no consequence
I offer no mercy, the controversy is once again





[Hook]

Overall Meaning

The song "Oh No" by Eminem from his album "The Slim Shady LP" is a portrayal of his life and his struggle with addiction. The lyrics paint a picture of a chaotic and unstable world, where Eminem seems to be losing control of his life again. The song starts with the lines "Oh no what's happening to my brain, I can't believe this is happening again," suggesting that the singer is experiencing a relapse. The lyrics then delve into his drug-induced hallucinations and his experiences with addiction, describing vividly the things he feels and the things he wants to do.


The first verse describes Eminem's drug-induced hallucinations, his craving for drugs and the aftermath of his actions. He mentions his desire to shove a lava lamp up his father's ass, which is a metaphor for his anger towards his abusive father. He then goes on to describe his fascination with cannibalism and his desire to eat cadavers. He also mentions his tendency to relapse after every rehab stint and his addiction to NyQuil.


In the second verse, Eminem talks about various news events and controversial figures, including Baby Jessica who fell down a well, Mary Kay Letourneau who had a sexual relationship with a student, and Perez Hilton, a celebrity blogger. He describes his desire to hurt or even kill these people, using words like "shove a typewriter up her" and "stick his head in a blender." These lyrics suggest that Eminem is struggling with violent thoughts and tendencies.


In conclusion, "Oh No" is a deeply personal song that gives us a glimpse into Eminem's struggles with addiction and mental health issues. The lyrics are chaotic and disturbing, reflecting the emotional and psychological turmoil that the artist was going through. It's a bleak and raw portrayal of a man's struggle with his inner demons, and how he deals with them through music.

Eminem in 2011/2009 writes this song then ends his first first nearly calling out his next Decade of work in the game. Starting from the G Unit Mixtape features with 50Cent on the Re-Up to after Em’s Recovery album with the sequel projects he did for Shady XV/2015 and the MMLP2, or Dre’s scrapped Detox.

He says; β€œ First I Re-Up(2006), then I Relapse(09)
Go to rehab(Recovery2010) then I Detox(20??) after I see Doc (I Need A Doctor Single)
And I'll be back with the sequel(MMLP2), repeat the cycle(ShadyXV2015)
'Cause I react like the She-Hulk when I see NyQuilβ€œ
(Que his career since 2015- Present, won’t quit it)

Relapse Refill was supposedly the intended sequel, so i may be wrong here; but i always felt like he managed to simultaneously honor those lyrics by making those future projects and that it still holds up. Nobody ever mentions this.

@toby2k75

Em was gone for 5 years before he dropped relapse. He was gonna do a double album but he scraped what would of been relapse 2 cause people said relapse was garbage..And i dont agree with that at all.The production alone was amazing!
