(Don't kill me) hurry the fuck up

Thank you

Go, go, go (what the fuck?)
The fuck are you doing?
Mothafucker bail on me? Fuck it
Aw, you gotta be fucking kidding me

Shit

This parking lot
Shit, ah




(Let me see your hands, prank's over)
Fuck it

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Eminem’s song “Parking Lot” involve a seemingly mundane situation of a car park. However, upon proper analysis, the song is actually a scathing critique of American society, specifically the country’s gun culture and the glorification of violence. The opening line “Don't kill me, hurry the fuck up” immediately sets the tone of the song as the singer is in a rush, and it is implied that they are picking up a gun or some other weapon. The urgency of the situation is mirrored in the repeated phrases of “go, go, go” and “get off” which suggest that they are either trying to avoid being caught or are hunting someone down.


The line “Are you fucking kidding me?” followed by “shit” implies that something has gone wrong in their plan, and they must make a split-second decision. The laughter that follows hints that the damage has already been done, and they are enjoying the adrenaline rush of their actions. The repeated line “This parking lot” emphasizes the specificity of the setting and creates a sense of claustrophobia and paranoia. The final line of “let me see your hands, prank’s over” could be interpreted as the singer being apprehended by law enforcement, and the entire scenario was a prank or simply a fantasy. On the other hand, it could also be interpreted as the singer losing control of their own thoughts, and they are addressing a figment of their imagination, emphasizing the mental toll that gun culture and violence can have on individuals.

you're forced to listen to
the individual,
the metaphysical,
the [magnet in / Mac Mitten] rhyme ritual,
heterosexual.
syllables they sound complex to you;
lines perplexing you
with words that could put a hex on you--
snap that neck on you;
murder you,
boil you.
we keep a white boy or two.
let my man grab the mic,
you'll see how bunny rabbit do...!

B Rabbits battle:

Your style is generic, mine’s authentic made
I roll like a renegade, you need clinic aid
My techniques bizarre and ill, i scar and kill
You were a star until I served you like a bar and grill
As I proceed to grill ya, that’s all it took to kill ya
You better recognize me like I look familiar
You wanna battle you beat around the bush like you scared to lick pussy so you eat around tush
I need a clown to push someone that I can bully wait a minute, I don’t thinking’s you understand fully
And me without a style is like mustard without the Heinz
I lead the new school you’re a buster without the rhymes, I’ll crush the shit out ya lines.

I like how Eminem doesn't rush right into his freestyle rap. He takes his times and feels the beat out

@selectjed1

yet he still rushes the beat haha

@RoptredOnRunescape

Even though they arent actual freestyles alot of the bars used are recycled bars from old freestyle battles

@officeroinker440

As does everyone else who can actually freestyle

@theunderrated86

You know that this scene is scripted right?, since it's in the film.
