Syllables
Eminem Lyrics

If we gotta dumb down our style and ABC it
If we have to simplify our style and make it more basic

Then so be it
Then let it be that way

'Cause nowadays these kids, jeez
Because these days, these kids...

Don't give a shit about lyrics
Do not care about the lyrics

All they wanna hear is a beat and that's it
All they want to hear is the instrumental beat

Long as they can go to the club and get blitz
As long as they can go to the club and get drunk

Pick up some chicks and get some digits
Pick up some girls and get their phone numbers

And the DJ's playing them hits
And the DJ is playing popular songs

Oh this my jam, this my shit
Oh, this song is my favorite

We don't know a word to a verse
We do not know the lyrics to a verse

All we know is the chorus
All we know is the catchy chorus

'Cause the chorus repeats the same four words for us
Because the chorus repeats the same four words for us

And the songs ginormous, the whole formula's switched
And the songs are huge, the whole formula has changed

'Cause we don't know anymore, what are hits
Because we do not know what makes a hit anymore

Is it the beat? Is it the rap
Is it the instrumental beat? Is it the rap verses?

Is it a finger snap? Or the same 808 clap
Is it a finger snap sound? Or the same drum sound?

And how do we adapt and get TRL votes
And how do we adapt and get votes on the music countdown show TRL

When 13 year olds control the remote
When 13-year-olds have control over the TV remote

And Ashley's got a brand new nose
And Ashley has gotten a new nose through plastic surgery

We gotta put some new em-phasis on our syllables
We have to put more emphasis on our lyrics

If the emphasis on the compact disc isn't the beat
If the main focus on the compact disc is not the beat

Than I'm gon' feature Em and get rich
Then I'm going to collaborate with Eminem and become wealthy

And let Dre mix the shit and drive off in the Range Ro'
And let Dr. Dre mix the music and drive away in the Range Rover

'Cause everywhere I go they love the bling bling flow
Because everywhere I go, people love my flashy and expensive style

Bang bang look at the way my chain glow
Look at how my chain sparkles

The ring on my fing' cost Jermaine a lot of dough, oh
The ring on my finger was very expensive

The fuck am I busting my brain for?
Why am I working so hard?

It's just the way the game go, oh, it takes two to tango
That's just how the game works

You call this a lame flow
You call this a weak flow

You bought the shit
You bought the music

I guess you to blame too
I guess you are also to blame

I just found the angle
I just found the approach

No more reality flow
No more realistic flow

I'm tryna time my album dropping with a reality show
I'm trying to release my album at the same time as a reality TV show

Cock the MAC-11 in front of Hot 97
Hold a MAC-11 gun in front of the Hot 97 radio station

And call my publicist tell her we impressed heaven
And call my publicist and tell her we impressed heaven

No one gives a shit
No one cares

Except some kids who just got into sex on the Internet
Except for some kids who just discovered cybersex

So you want the chat room or the house of Malibu Em?
So you want to chat online or come to Eminem's mansion in Malibu?

Your emphasis is on the wrong syllable
You are focusing on the wrong part

They said 30s the new 20
They say that being in your 30s is like being in your 20s

Funny, must mean 40s the new 30
It must mean being in your 40s is like being in your 30s

Interesting, 'cause ever since then it's been in a sence
Interesting, because ever since then it has made sense

An extension for veteran rappers that are better than half
An extension for experienced rappers who are better than half

Of the shit coming out right now
Of the low-quality music being released currently

It's all trash
It is all garbage

The torch is gonna burn out before it gets passed
The torch of greatness will fade away before it is inherited by others

Jay said it's his last, and 50 and Em
Jay-Z said it is his last, and 50 Cent and Eminem too

Then what? Detox drops what we got then
Then what comes next? Dr. Dre's album Detox will be released

So now our whole camps is running around
So now our entire groups are running around

Scrambling over what to do
Frantically trying to figure out what to do

Gambling everytime we put a record out
Taking a risk every time we release a new record

Just looking for that hook
Just searching for that catchy hook

(Wait Dre look!)
(Wait Dr. Dre, look!)

Shorty I love you
Baby, I love you

And you love me too
And you love me as well

We were meant to be 'cause shorty
We were destined to be together because, baby

You love me
You love me

And I love you too
And I love you too

And I promise I'll be true to you
And I promise I will be faithful to you

Go shorty, it's your birthday
Go, baby, it's your birthday

You made it just in time to hear my wordplay
You arrived just in time to hear my clever wordplay

It's the kid that flip flows who used to flip O's
It's the rapper who used to sell drugs and now switches up his flow

And run G for days used to see how I get hoes
And used to be a gangster for many days and see how I attract women

I'm international, I get my dick licked around the globe
I am known internationally, I receive sexual favors from women around the world

I'm sick right into show, riding on lolo's
I am driving in luxury cars and showing off

Puffing on coco, my bitch in Manolo's
Smoking cocaine, my girlfriend is wearing expensive shoes

Don't fuck with the dodo's, I sling for dumb hoes
Don't mess with the idiots, I sell drugs to stupid women

I playing, I ain't got time to joke, joke
I am not joking around, I do not have time for that

You fuck around, you could get your ass smoked
If you mess around, you could get killed

Look, it's not a game, me B? I ain't playing
Look, this is not a joke, my friend. I am not playing around

Beat behind me player, so you here anyway
The instrumental beat is playing behind me, so you are listening to it anyway

You don't hear what I'm saying
You do not understand what I am saying

Me fin-nini-na
I am just doing my thing

Fee-fi-dididee-yay
I am doing my thing and having fun

Just give me my check and I'll be on my way
Just give me my money and I will leave

Sunny bunny money and funny
Making money and having fun

You ain't even listening and I just took your money
You are not even paying attention and I just took your money

There once was a time everywhere he turned
There was a time when wherever he looked

Shady Aftermath was all ya heard
All you heard was Shady Aftermath

But they say 50 sang too much
But people say 50 Cent sang too often

And Em got soft
And Eminem became less aggressive

And they say Dre just fell the fuck off
And they say Dr. Dre lost his touch

Well fuck the fuck offs
Well, fuck all the haters

All y'all eat soft, be mad, we bad fresh up outta the vault, oh!
All of you criticize weak music, be angry, we are amazing fresh out of the vault

New syllables eat ball, ya fucks offs
New lyrics are better, you haters

Your house, your bitch I'm getting sucked off
In your home, your woman is performing oral sex on me

East, South, Midwest, even up North
From the East Coast, South, Midwest, even up North

Falling victim to wax, spitting, bring out the white chalk
Falling victim to violence, spitting rhymes, resulting in death

All for the gingerbread, we get it and get lost
All for the money, we obtain it and disappear

Catch me if you can, I'm running past while y'all walk
Try to catch me if you can, I am moving ahead while you are slow

Shady made me for bringing it back
Eminem inspired me to bring back the original rap style

For the history of rap
For the legacy of rap music

It's gone with a snap, a sneer and a clap
It disappeared suddenly, with disdain and applause

What happened to just spitting about living in the muthafucking city you at?
What happened to just rapping about your own city?

In the grimiest condition, I breath in drama
In the most difficult situations, I embrace the drama

King Mathers and Cash me, thats freak karma
King Mathers and Cashis, that's strange destiny

I'm everything, anything, you could never be
I am everything, anything that you could never become

It's a hitting, rhyme in the month deep
It's a powerful, meaningful rhyme

I speak with a piece, no peace on my mind
I speak with a weapon, I do not have peace of mind

I repeat every evil deed done of mine
I repeat every wicked act that I have committed

No rest contest, contract to sign
No time to rest, a contract to sign

By blood I'm in this squad for life
By blood, I am a part of this group forever

Hear out my wind pipes and I just chime
Listen to my rapping and I just chime in

I'm the reason you guys won't say that line
I am the reason you guys will not say that phrase

I'm crazy renegade like Em and Jay-Z
I am a wild renegade like Eminem and Jay-Z

I'm Rosemary's baby
I am someone special, like Rosemary's baby

It is not about lyrics anymore
It is no longer about the lyrics

It is not about lyrics anymore
It is no longer about the lyrics

It's about a hot beat, a hot beat
It is about a catchy instrumental beat

It's about a hot beat, a hot beat
It is about a catchy instrumental beat

A hot hot hot beat
An extremely catchy beat

And a catchy hook
And a memorable chorus

A hot hot hot beat
An extremely catchy beat

And a catchy hook
And a memorable chorus

Nobody gives a damn about them syllables, sillyle-ables, whatever they are
Nobody cares about those syllables or whatever they are

I don't care if you gotta rhyme Smo, Joe, toe and glow
I do not care if you have to rhyme words like Smo, Joe, toe, and glow

Now get out there and sell some goddamn records
Now go out there and sell some records, damn it
