Under The Influence
Eminem Lyrics

So you can suck my dick if you don't like my shit
If you dislike my music, you can disregard it completely

'Cause I was high when I wrote this, so suck my dick
I wrote this while under the influence of drugs, so you can't judge it

Two pills I pop, 'til my pupils swell up like two pennies
I consume pills until my pupils become enlarged

I'm Clint Eastwood in his mid-twenties
I feel invincible and powerful like Clint Eastwood in his prime

A young-ass man with a trash can strapped to the back of his ass
I'm a young man in a tough situation, trying to protect what little I have

So the rats can't chew through his last pants
Preventing the rats from destroying his last piece of clothing

I'm like a mummy at night, fightin' with bright lightning
I struggle with my inner demons and battle my fears

Frightened with five little white Vicadin pills bitin' him
Feeling scared and anxious while under the influence of Vicadin pills

I'm like a fuckin' wasp in the hospital lost
I am lost and causing chaos, just like a wasp in a hospital

Stingin' the fuck outta everything I come across in the halls
Causing trouble and harm to everything and everyone I encounter

I light a candle and place it up on the mantle
I try to find solace in a small act of peace

Grab a knife at the blade and stab you with the fuckin' handle
I am so filled with anger that I'll use any tool at hand to harm others

So when you find yourself wrapped up in the blinds, hurtin'
When you are trapped and suffering

(Bitch, it's too late)
It's too late to ask for forgiveness or escape the consequences

'Cause once you're hung from the drapes, it's curtains
Once you're trapped and unable to escape, it's over

I'm an instigator, .380 slug penetrator
I provoke conflicts and use a powerful bullet to cause harm

Degrading, creating murders to kill haters
I engage in hateful behavior and create violent acts to harm those who dislike me

Accused for every crime known through the equator
I am accused of every possible crime around the world

They knew I did it (uh-huh) for havin' blood on my 'gators
People are aware that I commit these crimes and have evidence of it

My weed'll hit your chest like a double barrel gauge and
The effect of the marijuana I sell is as strong as a powerful shotgun blast

I'm a black grenade that'll blow up in your face
I am a dangerous and explosive individual that will cause harm directly to you

With a fifth in me, when I guzzle Remy I do shit on purpose
When I consume alcohol, I intentionally engage in reckless behavior

You never hear me say, 'Forgive me'
I am unapologetic for my actions and refuse to ask for forgiveness

I'm snatchin' every penny, it gotta be that way, nigga, face it
I am forcefully taking every penny possible, and that's how it has to be, so accept it

That weed I sold to you, Brigade laced it
I intentionally mixed my sold weed with a stronger substance

You hidin', I make the President get a facelift
No matter how important or powerful you are, I can make you suffer

Niggas just afraid, handin' me they bracelets
People are scared of me and willingly submit to my dominance

Chillin' in the lab wasted, I'm the type
I relax in the drug lab while intoxicated, that's just who I am

That'll drink Kahlua and gin, throw up on the mic
I consume alcohol irresponsibly and vomit while performing

Your life is ruined, you get socked right on sight
When I see you, I will immediately physically assault you and ruin your life

And even at the Million Man March, we gon' fight
I am so aggressive and confrontational that I will even start a fight at a peaceful gathering

I'm a compulsive liar, settin' my preacher on fire
I frequently lie and have no qualms about causing harm, even to religious figures

Slashin' your tires, flyin' down Fenkell and Meyers
I vandalize your property and speed recklessly down the streets

Plates expired, soon as I'm hired I'm fired
I have trouble keeping a job and often lose it shortly after being hired

Jackin' my dick off in a bed of barbed wire
Engaging in self-destructive and painful behaviors

(Hey, is Bizarre performin'?) Bitch, didn't you read the flyer?
Reminding someone that they should pay attention to information that was already provided

The special invited guest will be Richard Pryor
The guest performer will be the legendary comedian Richard Pryor

(Aren't you a male dancer?) No, bitch, I'm retired
Responding to an accusation about being a male stripper by saying that I no longer do that

Fuckin' your bitch in the ass with a tire iron
Engaging in rough sexual acts with someone's partner

I'm ripped, I'm on an acid trip
I am under the influence of drugs, specifically LSD

My DJ's in a coma for lettin' the record skip
My DJ is in trouble for making an error during the performance

Lettin' the record skip, lettin' the record skip (damn)
Allowing the record to skip repeatedly, causing a disruption in the music

I'm fuckin' anything when I'm snortin'
I engage in promiscuous behavior while using drugs

It's gonna cost three-hundred dollars to get my pitbull an abortion
I am willing to spend a significant amount of money to terminate my dog's pregnancy

Some bitch asked for my autograph
A woman requested my signature as a fan

I called her a whore, spit beer in her face and laughed
I insulted her, treated her disrespectfully, and found it amusing

I drop bombs like I was in Vietnam
I create explosive and impactful music similar to the devastation caused by bombing during the Vietnam War

All bitches is hoes, even my stinkin'-ass mom
I view all women as promiscuous, including my own mother

Ayo, flashback, two feets, two deep up in that ass crack
Recalling a memory where I was involved in a sexual act with someone

Weed laced with somethin', nigga, pass that
The marijuana I am smoking is infused with another substance, please share it with me

In Amsterdam, we only hang out with hash rats
In Amsterdam, we exclusively socialize with heavy users of hashish

At a 'Stop the Violence' rally, I blast gats
Even in a peaceful gathering advocating against violence, I am still armed and prepared to shoot

BMI my publishing, get your ass capped
I am assertively protecting my rights and ensuring royalties for my music

The Kuniva, divide up your cash stack
I, Kuniva, will take a portion of your money

Run your motherfuckin' pockets, ASAP
Quickly hand over all of your money and belongings

I don't need a platinum chain, bitch, I snatched Shaq's
I don't need expensive jewelry, I have even stolen from someone as famous as Shaquille O'Neal

Born loser, half thief and half black
I was destined to fail, with a combination of being a criminal and being Black

Bring your boys and your guns and get laughed at
Even if you bring your friends and weapons, I will mock and belittle you

Bitch smacker, rich rappers get they Jag jacked
I physically assault women and steal expensive cars from wealthy rappers

And found chopped up in a trash bag
I leave my victims dismembered and disposed of in trash bags

We stranglin' rappers until the point they can't yell
We are metaphorically silencing and overpowering other rappers

'Cause they crew is full of fags and sweeter than bake sales
Their entourage is filled with homosexual individuals and they are excessively nice

Reckless, come from behind and snatch your necklace
Without caution, I will surprise you from behind and steal your valuable necklace

Gruesome and causin' more violence than nine hoodlums
Engaging in brutal acts and creating more chaos and destruction than a group of violent individuals

I grapple your Adam's apple until it crackle
I tighten my grip on your throat until your voice box makes a cracking sound

Run right past you, turn around, grab you and stab you
I run past you to distract you, then swiftly turn around, grab you, and stab you

Get executed, 'cause I'm a Luni, I got a Yukmouth
I will be killed because I'm insane, and I have a partner who is equally mentally unstable

And it's polluted, I cock it back, then shoot it
My mind is corrupted, and in response, I prepare my gun and fire

I love snatchin' up players, thugs and young ballers
I enjoy targeting and exploiting individuals who are involved in illicit activities or have wealth

Shoot up the household, even the young toddlers
I am willing to cause harm and damage to innocent children and entire families

Brigade barricade to bring the noise
My group forms a blockade to create chaos and make a loud, disruptive impact

While the bullets break your bones up like Christmas toys
As the bullets penetrate your body, they shatter your bones like broken toys

If I go solo, I'm doin' a song with Bolo
If I pursue a solo career, I will collaborate with the rapper Bolo

A big Chinese nigga screamin', 'Kuniva, yo, yo'
A Chinese rapper enthusiastically calling my name

I leave ya face leakin'
I cause severe facial injuries that result in bleeding

Run up in church and smack the preacher while he's preachin'
I enter a church and violently attack the preacher during his sermon

Take a swing at the deacon
I physically assault a religious figure

I used to tell cats that I sold weed and weight
I used to lie and claim that I sold drugs and was involved in illegal activities

I was straight 'til I got caught sellin' them shake
I was leading a stable life until I was discovered selling low-quality drugs

I'm ignorant, with the intent to snatch your rent
I am intentionally ignorant and aim to steal your money meant for rent

I got kicked out of summer camp for havin' sex in my tent
I was expelled from a summer camp for engaging in sexual activity in my tent

With the superintendent's daughter, my brain's out of order
I had sexual relations with the superintendent's daughter, showing a disregard for authority

I've been a Kon Artis since I was swimmin' in water
I have been a deceptive and cunning individual since I was very young

In cahoots with this nigga named Carlisle Von
I am involved in a secretive partnership with a person named Carlisle Von

Who got fired from UPS for tryna send you a bomb
Carlisle Von was fired from UPS for attempting to send a bomb to someone

(Special delivery) I sign to a local label for fun
I sign a record deal with a small label for the enjoyment of it, not for serious career advancement

Say I got cancer, get dropped, take the advancement and run
I falsely claim to have cancer, resulting in being dropped from the label, but I benefit from the financial advances

Drive-by you in the rain while you carry your son
I shoot at you from a moving vehicle while you are holding your child in the rain

Call your house and hang up on you for not givin' me none
I prank call you and immediately hang up because you refuse to provide me with something

Born straight up out a pussy but a son of a gun
I was born from a woman but I have the characteristics of a ruthless, dangerous individual

Got a reputation for havin' niggas runnin' they funds
People know that I am capable of making others lose their money due to my predatory behavior

Used to be the type of nigga that was foldin' some ones
I used to engage in petty criminal activities, such as stealing small amounts of money

'Til I met your fat mama, now I'm rollin' in dough
However, after encountering your overweight mother, I am now wealthy and successful

Suck my motherfuckin' dick
A derogatory and offensive command

D12
A reference to the rap group D12

Dirty motherfuckin' Dozen
Calling the group D12 a dirty and offensive term, emphasizing their collective strength

Nasty like a stank slut bitch with thirty fuckin' husbands
Describing the members of D12 as promiscuous and offensive, asserting their disgraceful behavior

Bizarre Kid, Swifty McVay, the Kon Artis
Referring to the members of D12 by their stage names

The Kuniva, Derty Harry, and Slim Shady
Mentioning the remaining members of D12, including Eminem himself
