While Mariah and Nick Cannon continue to assert that “Obsessed” isn’t about Eminem, Slim Shady wastes no time being coy. So why is this “The Warning” and not “The Attack”? Because despite how damning the song is, Eminem hints there’s much more for Mariah to be scared of than just a diss track. “Enough dirt on you to murder you, this is what the fuck I do. Mariah, it ever occur to you that I still have pictures,” Em raps. In true Eminem fashion, Marshall Mathers deprecates himself while attacking Carey, telling stories of premature ejaculation, dry humping, “trying to stick two CD’s in the same spot” and other personal details you’d usually expect from an unauthorized biography. Nothing gets Eminem going quite like beef, and Shady is more sharp and on-point here than on some of Relapse.
Of course, it was Eminem who fired the most recent opening salvo at Carey and Cannon with his Relapse song “Bagpipes from Baghdad,” which resulted in Carey responding with The-Dream and Tricky Stewart-produced “Obsessed.” “Why you so obsessed with me? Lyin’ that you’re sexin’ me,” Carey sang in the comparably meek (though very catchy) single. “You’re delusional, boy you’re losing your mind.” Carey later dressed up like Eminem for the song’s music video. In 2001, the pair reportedly dated briefly as Carey worked on Charmbracelet. In 2005, Eminem revived the issue by playing a portion of alleged voicemail messages Carey left him before performing “Puke” live, and tossed references to the star into “Superman” and “When the Music Stops” on The Eminem Show. A year later, he went off on Mariah on his Shade45 satellite radio station.
“Obsessed” has already begun to recede from the charts, though Mariah recently released a second video for the song’s Gucci Mane remix. Carey has yet to respond to Eminem’s “Warning” on her Twitter page.
The Warning
Eminem Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is 'cause you denied seeing me, now I'm pissed off
Sit back homie relax, in fact grab a six-pack
Kick back while I kick facts, yeah Dre, sick track
Perfect way to get back, wanna hear something wick-wack?
I got the same exact tat that's on Nick's back
I'm obsessed now, oh gee
In the video with the goatee?
Wow Mariah, didn't expect you to go balls out
Bitch shut the fuck up 'fore I put all them phone calls out
You made to my house when you was Wild'n Out before Nick
When you was on my dick and give you something to smile about
How many times you fly to my house?
Still trying to count
Better shut your lying mouth if you don't want Nick finding out
You probably think 'cause it's been so long
If I had something on you I woulda did it by now
Oh, on the contrary, Mary Poppins
I'm mixing our studio session down
And sending it to mastering to make it loud
Enough dirt on you to murder you
This is what the fuck I do
Mariah, it ever occur to you that I still have pictures?
However you prefer to do
And that goes for Nick too, faggot you think I'm scurred of you?
You're gonna ruin my career, you better get one
Like I'ma sit and fight with you over some slut bitch cunt
That made me put up with her psycho ass over six months
And only spread her legs to let me hit once
Yeah, what you gonna say I'm lucky
Tell the public that I was so ugly
That you fucking had to be drunk to fuck me
Second base, what the fuck you tell Nick, Pumpkin
The second week we were dry humping, that's gotta count for something
Listen, girly, surely you don't want me to talk about how I nutted early
'Cause I ejaculated prematurely
And bust all over your belly and you almost started hurling
And said I was gross, go get a towel, your stomach's curling
Or maybe you do, but if I'm embarrassing me I'm embarrassing you
And don't you dare say it isn't true
As long as that song's gettin airplay, I'm dissin' you
I'm a hair away from getting carried away and getting sued
I was gonna stop at sixteen, that was thirty-two
This is thirty-four bars, we ain't even third of the way through
Damn Slim, Mariah played you, Mariah who?
Oh did I say whore Nick? I meant a liar too
Like I've been going off on you all this time for no reason
Girl, you out your alcoholic mind
Check your wine cellar
Look at the amounts of all the wine
Like I fucking sit around and think about you all the time
I just think this shit is funny when I pounce you on a rhyme
But fuck it now I'm 'bout to draw the line
And for you to cross it, that's a mountain that I doubt you wanna climb
I can describe areas of your house you wouldn't find
On an episode of Cribs, I blow below the ribs
If I hear another word so don't go opening your jibs
'Cause every time you do it's like an overload of fibs
I ain't sayin' this shit again, ho you know what it is
It's a warning shot, 'fore I blow up your whole spot
Call my bluff and I'll release every fucking thing I got
Including the voicemails right before you flipped your top
When me and Luis were trying to stick two CD's in the same slot
Slim Shady, artful dodger
Slim Shady, artful dodger
(I love you) I love you, too
Let me whisper sweet nothings into your ear, boo
Now what you say (it's nothing)
Yeah, so what I'll do is refresh your memory when you said
(I want you)
Now should I keep going or should we call truce
(You think you're cute, right)
You bet your sweet ass I do
(I'm Mary Poppins, B)
And I'm Superman, ooh
(Mary P, Slim Shady)
Coming at you
So if you'll still be my baby girl
Then I'll still be your superhero
(Oh my Em)
Yeah, I'm right here
(You like this)
Nope, not anymore dear
It cuts like a knife when I tell you get a life
But I'm moving on with mine
Nick, 'cause that's your wife
Well tell her to shut her mouth then I'll leave her alone
If she don't stick to the script then I'ma just keep going
Damn
(I see Mary Ann, Mary Ann's saying cut the tape)
(Cut the tape, knife)
The song "The Warning" by Eminem is a diss track directed towards Mariah Carey and her then-husband Nick Cannon. Eminem was reportedly upset with Mariah for denying having any previous romantic relationship with him, which prompted him to release this song.

Eminem also hints at having evidence to back up his claims, for instance, he talks about having pictures of Mariah. The rapper is aware of the impact the song could have on his own career, but he still chooses to release it, claiming that as long as it is getting airplay, he will keep dissing Mariah. Eminem also refers to Nick as a liar and taunts him for not having a successful career compared to his own accomplishments as a rapper.
Overall, "The Warning" highlights the complicated relationship between Eminem and Mariah Carey, as well as Eminem's willingness to speak his mind and not shy away from controversy.

The only reason I insulted you initially
Is 'cause you denied seeing me, now I'm pissed off
Is because you refused to acknowledge me and now I'm angry
Sit back homie relax, in fact grab a six-pack
Take a seat, my friend, and unwind, maybe grab some beer
Kick back while I kick facts, yeah Dre, sick track
Enjoy and relax while I deliver some hard-hitting truths on this incredible Dr. Dre beat

A flawless method of retaliation, how about listening to something outrageous?
I got the same exact tat that's on Nick's back

I'm obsessed now, oh gee
I am now consumed by my obsession with you, oh, dear
Is that supposed to be me
Is that how you depict me in the video with the goatee?
Wow Mariah, didn't expect you to go balls out
Surprising, Mariah, I didn't anticipate you being so bold and shameless
Bitch shut the fuck up 'fore I put all them phone calls out
Shut up, you bitch, before I expose the recorded conversations
You made to my house when you was Wild'n Out before Nick
You visited my house while you were still in a reckless and wild state before being with Nick
When you was on my dick and give you something to smile about
When you were highly interested in me and I provided you with reasons to be happy
How many times you fly to my house?
How many times did you travel to see me at my house?
Still trying to count
I'm still attempting to calculate the number
Better shut your lying mouth if you don't want Nick finding out
You better keep quiet and stop lying if you don't want Nick to discover the truth
You probably think 'cause it's been so long
You perhaps believe that because it's been a while
If I had something on you I woulda did it by now
If I had any evidence against you, I would have exposed it already
Oh, on the contrary, Mary Poppins
Oh, no, quite the opposite, Mary Poppins
I'm mixing our studio session down
I am carefully editing our recording session

This is what the fuck I do
This is my expertise and what I excel at
Mariah, it ever occur to you that I still have pictures?
Mariah, have you ever considered the fact that I still possess photographs of us?

You're gonna ruin my career, you better get one

Like I'ma sit and fight with you over some slut bitch cunt
Do you really think I would waste my time arguing with you about some promiscuous woman?
That made me put up with her psycho ass over six months
Who I had to tolerate for over six months, despite her being mentally unstable
And only spread her legs to let me hit once
And she only slept with me once, allowing me to have sex with her
Yeah, what you gonna say I'm lucky
Yeah, what are you going to say, that I'm fortunate?
Tell the public that I was so ugly
Inform the public that they deemed me unattractive
That you fucking had to be drunk to fuck me
To the extent that you needed to be intoxicated to have sex with me
Second base, what the fuck you tell Nick, Pumpkin
We only went to second base, what did you say to Nick, Pumpkin?
The second week we were dry humping, that's gotta count for something
During our second week, we engaged in dry humping, that should hold some significance
Listen, girly, surely you don't want me to talk about how I nutted early
Listen, young lady, I'm certain you wouldn't like me to bring up how I ejaculated prematurely
'Cause I ejaculated prematurely
Because I released semen unexpectedly
And bust all over your belly and you almost started hurling
And sprayed semen all over your stomach, causing you to almost vomit
And said I was gross, go get a towel, your stomach's curling
You called me disgusting, go clean yourself with a towel, your stomach is churning
Or maybe you do, but if I'm embarrassing me I'm embarrassing you
Maybe you do want me to bring it up, but if I'm humiliating myself, I'm also humiliating you
And don't you dare say it isn't true
And don't you dare deny that it's not true
As long as that song's gettin airplay, I'm dissin' you
As long as that song is receiving radio play, I will continue to insult you
I'm a hair away from getting carried away and getting sued
I'm on the verge of losing control and facing legal consequences
I was gonna stop at sixteen, that was thirty-two
I originally planned to stop at the sixteenth line, but now we're at the thirty-second line
This is thirty-four bars, we ain't even third of the way through
These are already thirty-four lines, and we're not even one-third through the song
Damn Slim, Mariah played you, Mariah who?

Oh did I say whore Nick? I meant a liar too
Oh, did I mistakenly call Nick a whore? I actually meant to say he's a liar as well
Like I've been going off on you all this time for no reason
As if I've been relentlessly attacking you all this time without any justification
Girl, you out your alcoholic mind
Girl, you've completely lost your mind due to alcohol
Check your wine cellar
Examine the amount of wine you have stored
Look at the amounts of all the wine
Observe the large quantities of wine you possess
Like I fucking sit around and think about you all the time
As if I constantly sit around and ponder about you
I just think this shit is funny when I pounce you on a rhyme
I simply find it amusing when I attack you lyrically
But fuck it now I'm 'bout to draw the line
But forget it, I'm now going to establish a boundary
And for you to cross it, that's a mountain that I doubt you wanna climb
And if you dare cross that line, it will be an uphill battle you probably don't want to engage in
I can describe areas of your house you wouldn't find
I can reveal details about parts of your house you're not even aware of
On an episode of Cribs, I blow below the ribs
Such hidden areas that wouldn't be showcased on an episode of the TV show Cribs, I will target
If I hear another word so don't go opening your jibs
If I hear you say anything else, so don't even dare to open your mouth
'Cause every time you do it's like an overload of fibs
Because every time you speak, it feels like an excessive amount of lies
I ain't sayin' this shit again, ho you know what it is
I won't repeat this again, you know exactly what's going on
It's a warning shot, 'fore I blow up your whole spot
Consider this a warning, before I expose everything about you
Call my bluff and I'll release every fucking thing I got
If you doubt me, I will reveal every single piece of dirt I have on you
Including the voicemails right before you flipped your top
This includes the recorded messages right before you lost control
When me and Luis were trying to stick two CD's in the same slot
When Luis and I were attempting to insert two CDs into the same slot

Let me whisper sweet nothings into your ear, boo
Allow me to softly speak romantic words in your ear, darling
Now what you say (it's nothing)
Now, what do you have to say? (It's nothing)
Yeah, so what I'll do is refresh your memory when you said
So, what I'll do is remind you of what you said
(I want you)
(I want you)
Now should I keep going or should we call truce
Should I continue or should we make peace?
(You think you're cute, right)

You bet your sweet ass I do
Absolutely, I definitely think I'm attractive
(I'm Mary Poppins, B)

Coming at you
Coming directly towards you
So if you'll still be my baby girl
So, if you still want to be my girl

Then I'll continue to be your superhero
(Oh my Em)
(Oh my Eminem)
Yeah, I'm right here
Yes, I'm right here
(You like this)
(You enjoy this)
Nope, not anymore dear
No, not anymore, my dear
It cuts like a knife when I tell you get a life
It hurts deeply when I tell you to find a purpose in life
But I'm moving on with mine
But I'm moving forward with my own life
Nick, 'cause that's your wife
Nick, as he is your husband
Well tell her to shut her mouth then I'll leave her alone
Well, tell her to stop talking, and then I won't bother her anymore
If she don't stick to the script then I'ma just keep going
If she doesn't follow the expected plan, then I will continue my actions
Damn
Damn
(I see Mary Ann, Mary Ann's saying cut the tape)
(I can visualize Mary Ann, Mary Ann is instructing to stop the recording)
(Cut the tape, knife)
(Stop the recording, knife)
