You’re Never Over
Eminem Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The days are cold livin' without you
The nights are long, I'm growing older
I miss the days alone, thinkin' about you
You may be gone, but you're never over

If Proof could see me now, I know he'd be proud
Somewhere in me deep down, there's something in me he found
That made him believe in me, now no one can beat me now
You try, it'll be them doors, on Dre's Phantom believe me clowns
That means suicide homie, you'll never throw me
Off of this course, blow me
Bitch I do this all for the sport only
But I want it all, I'm not just talking awards homie
And the balls in my court and it's lonely
On top of the world when you're the only
One with the balls and your shorts
To leave them jaws on the floor with no re-
Morse, remember that when they get to doggin' you boy homie
So y'all can just get to bloggin' about bologna
I'm not gonna stop the saga
Continue, no stoppin' the force Obi, I'm moppin' the floors
With them, I keep tryna pass it, but they keep on droppin' the torch
And it won't be, long til this sport is O-V-
E-R, just blazin' and we knockin' them doors and no we
Ain't pumpkins on Halloween but we'll show up on your porch, so be
Careful what you say, there ain't no punks over here so follow me
Through the fog like I'm S-N-double-O-P
Let me guide you through the smoke G
If only I wasn't travellin' down this road by my lonely
No one who knew me like you will ever know me
I don't think you understand how much you meant to me

The days are cold livin' without you
The nights are long, I'm growing older
I miss the days alone, thinkin' about you
You may be gone, but you're never over
And it don't stop (oh)
And it don't quit (oh)
And it don't stop (oh)
And it don't quit (oh)
And I miss you (oh)
I just miss you (oh)
I just miss you (oh)
Homie I'll never forget you (no)

For you, I wanna write the sickest rhyme of my life
So sick it'll blow up the mic, it'll put the dyna in mite
Yeah it'll make the dopest MC wanna jump off a bridge and shit hisself
Tap dancin' all over the beat, it'll jump off the page and spit itself
Yeah it's the best thing I could do right now for you Doodi is to rap
So I'm a fuck til I die, yeah I'm a do it to death
And itstead of mourning your death, I'd rather celebrate your life
Elevate to new height, step on the gas and accelerate, I'm a need two mics
Cause the way that I'm feelin' tonight, everything I can just do right
There's nothing that I can do wrong, I'm too strong and I'm just too hyped
Just finished the rhyming and bust it and excuse the corny metaphor
They'll never catch up to all this energy that I've mustered
So God just help me out while I fight through this grievin' process
Tryna process this loss is makin' me nauseous
But this depression ain't takin' me hostage
I've been patiently watchin' this game, pacin' these hallways
You had faith in me always
Proof you knew I'd come out of this slump, rise from these ashes
Come right back on they asses, and go Mike Tyson on these bastards
And I'm a show 'em, blow 'em out the water slaughter 'em homes
I'm on so many bells the only place they can hit me is below
Homie I know I'm, never gonna be the same with you
I woulda never came in this game, I'm going insane without you
Matter of fact it was just the other night, had another dream about you
You told me to get up, I got up and spread my wings and I flew
You gave me a reason to fight, I was on my way to see you
You told me nah Doodi you're not layin' on that table I knew
I was gonna make it, soon as you said think of Hailie, I knew
There wasn't no way that I was gonna ever leave them babies, and Proof
Not many are lucky enough to have a guardian angel like you
Lord I'm so thankful, please don't think I don't feel grateful, I do
Just grant me the strength that I need, for one more day to get through
So homie this is your song, I dedicate this to you
I love you Doodi

The days are cold livin' without you
The nights are long, I'm growing older
I miss the days alone, thinkin' about you
You may be gone, but you're never over
And it don't stop (oh)
And it don't quit (oh)
And it don't stop (oh)
And it don't quit (oh)
And I miss you (oh)
I just miss you (oh)




I just miss you (oh)
Homie I'll never forget you (no)

Line by Line Meaning

The days are cold livin' without you
Life feels empty and emotionless without you around


The nights are long, I'm growing older
Lonely nights seem to drag on forever, making me feel the weight of time passing


I miss the days alone, thinkin' about you
I long for the moments when I could be by myself, reminiscing about our memories together


You may be gone, but you're never over
Although you're no longer here physically, your presence and impact on my life will never fade away


If Proof could see me now, I know he'd be proud
I believe that if Proof, my late friend, could witness my current state, he would feel a sense of pride


Somewhere in me deep down, there's something in me he found
Proof saw something special within me, a talent or quality that he recognized and believed in


That made him believe in me, now no one can beat me now
His faith in me has given me a newfound confidence, making me unbeatable in my pursuits


You try, it'll be them doors, on Dre's Phantom believe me clowns
Anyone who attempts to challenge me will face the consequences, depicted as being thrown out of Dr. Dre's luxurious car


That means suicide homie, you'll never throw me
It's a metaphor for the self-destructive nature of trying to go against me, as I won't allow myself to be defeated


Off of this course, blow me
I won't be swayed or deterred from my path, disregarding any negative opinions or distractions


Bitch I do this all for the sport only
I engage in this pursuit solely for the love and passion, not just for the fame or accolades


But I want it all, I'm not just talking awards homie
While I have a genuine passion for the craft, I also strive to achieve success and recognition in every aspect


And the balls in my court and it's lonely
I am in control of my destiny and success, but this responsibility also brings a sense of isolation


On top of the world when you're the only
Being the best at what I do gives me a sense of superiority and accomplishment


One with the balls and your shorts
I am the one who takes risks and has the courage to face challenges head-on


To leave them jaws on the floor with no re-
I strive to impress and shock others with my skills and performances, leaving them in awe


Morse, remember that when they get to doggin' you boy homie
Don't forget this message when people start criticizing or mocking you


So y'all can just get to bloggin' about bologna
Let the critics talk nonsense and focus on your own path and goals


I'm not gonna stop the saga
I won't let anyone or anything halt the continuation of my journey and success


Continue, no stoppin' the force Obi, I'm moppin' the floors
I am determined to keep going without any hindrance, likening myself to Obi-Wan Kenobi from Star Wars and cleaning up any obstacles in my way


With them, I keep tryna pass it, but they keep on droppin' the torch
Despite my efforts to pass on my knowledge and skills, others fail to carry on the legacy and drop the torch of success


And it won't be, long til this sport is O-V-
It won't be long until I dominate and conquer this industry and game


E-R, just blazin' and we knockin' them doors and no we
I will succeed and make a mark, opening doors and achieving greatness


Ain't pumpkins on Halloween but we'll show up on your porch, so be
We may not be typical, expected figures, but we will make an impact and surprise you


Careful what you say, there ain't no punks over here so follow me
Be cautious with your words and actions because there are no weaklings in this group, just follow my lead


Through the fog like I'm S-N-double-O-P
I will guide you through the confusion and difficulties, similar to how Snoop Dogg's name plays with the concept of fog


Let me guide you through the smoke G
Allow me to show you the way and lead you through the challenges and obstacles


If only I wasn't travellin' down this road by my lonely
If only I had someone by my side on this journey, I wouldn't feel as lonely and burdened


No one who knew me like you will ever know me
No one else will ever truly understand me and know me as deeply as you did


I don't think you understand how much you meant to me
I don't believe you truly grasp the profound impact you had on my life and my gratitude towards you


And I miss you (oh)
I feel a deep sense of longing and emptiness without you


I just miss you (oh)
My heart aches from the absence of your presence


Homie I'll never forget you (no)
You will always hold a special place in my heart and memories, I will never forget you


For you, I wanna write the sickest rhyme of my life
Out of love and respect for you, I aim to create the most powerful and impactful lyrics I have ever written


So sick it'll blow up the mic, it'll put the dyna in mite
The rhyme will be so incredible and explosive that it will captivate listeners and bring immense energy


Yeah it'll make the dopest MC wanna jump off a bridge and shit hisself
It will be so awe-inspiring that even the most skilled rapper will be overwhelmed and feel inferior


Tap dancin' all over the beat, it'll jump off the page and spit itself
The rhythm and flow will be so natural and flawless that it will seem as if the lyrics are dancing and effortlessly coming to life


Yeah it's the best thing I could do right now for you Doodi is to rap
I see this song as the most meaningful way to honor and pay tribute to you, Doodi


So I'm a fuck til I die, yeah I'm a do it to death
I will continue to give my all in my music career until the moment I pass away, never holding back or giving up


And itstead of mourning your death, I'd rather celebrate your life
Instead of dwelling on the sadness and loss of your passing, I want to commemorate and rejoice in the impact you had on my life


Elevate to new height, step on the gas and accelerate, I'm a need two mics
I am determined to reach new levels of success, pushing myself harder and faster, requiring two microphones to keep up with my energy


Cause the way that I'm feelin' tonight, everything I can just do right
I am filled with such passion and inspiration tonight that I feel capable of accomplishing anything without making any mistakes


There's nothing that I can do wrong, I'm too strong and I'm just too hyped
I am confident in my abilities and too excited and motivated to let anything go wrong or hinder me


Just finished the rhyming and bust it and excuse the corny metaphor
After completing the verse and delivering it with intensity, I apologize for the cheesy use of a metaphor


They'll never catch up to all this energy that I've mustered
Others will never be able to match or keep up with the immense energy and drive that I have accumulated


So God just help me out while I fight through this grievin' process
I plead for divine assistance and guidance as I struggle with the pain and grief of losing someone dear to me


Tryna process this loss is makin' me nauseous
Attempting to comprehend and come to terms with this loss is overwhelming and causing feelings of sickness and unease


But this depression ain't takin' me hostage
Despite experiencing depression, I refuse to let it control and imprison me


I've been patiently watchin' this game, pacin' these hallways
I have been observing and waiting for my turn in the music industry, pacing back and forth in anticipation


You had faith in me always
You consistently believed in me and my potential, providing unwavering support


Proof you knew I'd come out of this slump, rise from these ashes
You had confidence that I would overcome my struggles and emerge stronger than ever, just like a phoenix rises from the ashes


Come right back on they asses, and go Mike Tyson on these bastards
I will return to the music scene with a vengeance, defeating and overpowering my competition, similar to Mike Tyson's aggressive boxing style


And I'm a show 'em, blow 'em out the water slaughter 'em homes
I will prove my superiority and dominance, leaving my rivals stunned and defeated


I'm on so many bells the only place they can hit me is below
I have achieved a high level of success and recognition, making it difficult for others to bring me down


Homie I know I'm, never gonna be the same with you
I acknowledge that my life will never be the same without you by my side


I woulda never came in this game, I'm going insane without you
If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have pursued a career in music, and now I feel a sense of madness and despair without your presence


Matter of fact it was just the other night, had another dream about you
Recently, I had a dream where you appeared again, reminding me of your significance and impact


You told me to get up, I got up and spread my wings and I flew
In the dream, you encouraged me to rise above my challenges and I followed your advice, finding the strength to soar and succeed


You gave me a reason to fight, I was on my way to see you
Your belief and support provided me with motivation to keep going, as I felt determined to achieve something meaningful for you


You told me nah Doodi you're not layin' on that table I knew
In the dream, you assured me that my life wasn't in danger, offering comfort and reassurance


I was gonna make it, soon as you said think of Hailie, I knew
Your mention of my daughter's name further motivated me to succeed, as I knew I had responsibilities and loved ones who relied on me


There wasn't no way that I was gonna ever leave them babies, and Proof
I was never going to abandon my children, Hailie, and the memory and legacy of Proof


Not many are lucky enough to have a guardian angel like you
I consider myself fortunate to have had someone as supportive and influential as you watching over me like a guardian angel


Lord I'm so thankful, please don't think I don't feel grateful, I do
I express my gratitude and appreciation to a higher power, assuring that I am truly thankful for the blessings and guidance I have received


Just grant me the strength that I need, for one more day to get through
I humbly ask for the necessary strength to persevere and endure, overcoming my trials and challenges, even if it's just for another day


So homie this is your song, I dedicate this to you
This song is specifically crafted as a tribute to you, my dear friend, and I offer it as a heartfelt dedication


I love you Doodi
I express my love and deep affection for you, Doodi


And it don't stop (oh)
The journey and determination continue, without any halt or interruption


And it don't quit (oh)
I won't give up or back down, persisting in my pursuit and passion


And I miss you (oh)
I still feel a great void and sense of longing in your absence


I just miss you (oh)
The ache and yearning for your presence remains strong within me


Homie I'll never forget you (no)
You will always hold a special place in my heart and memories, and you will never be forgotten

on The Real Slim Shady

May I have your attention, please?
May I have your attention, please?
Will the real Slim Shady please stand up?
I repeat, will the real Slim Shady please stand up?
We're gonna have a problem here

Y'all act like you never seen a white person before
Jaws all on the floor like Pam like Tommy just burst in the door
And started whoopin' her ass worse than before
They first were divorced, throwing' her over furniture (ah)
It's the return of the "ah, wait, no way, you're kidding
He didn't just say what I think he did, did he?"
And Dr. Dre said, nothing, you idiots
Dr. Dre's dead, he's locked in my basement (ha ha)
Feminist women love Eminem
"Chicka, chicka, chicka, Slim Shady, I'm sick of him
Look at him, walkin' around, grabbing' his you-know-what
Flippin' the you-know-who"
"Yeah, but he's so cute though"
Yeah, I probably got a couple of screws up in my head loose
But no worse than what s going' on in your parents' bedrooms
Sometimes I wanna get on TV and just let loose
But can't, but it's cool for Tom Green to hump a dead moose
"My bum is on your lips, my bum is on your lips"
And if I'm lucky, you might just give it a little kiss
And that's the message that we deliver to little kids
And expect them not to know what a woman's clitoris is
Of course they're gonna know what intercourse is
By the time they hit fourth grade
They've got the Discovery Channel, don't they?
We ain't nothin' but mammals, well, some of us, cannibals
Who cut other people open like cantaloupes
But if we can hump dead animals and antelopes
Then there's no reason that a man and another man can't elope
But if you feel like I feel, I got the antidote
Women, wave your pantyhose, sing the chorus, and it goes

I'm Slim Shady, yes, I'm the real Shady
All you other Slim Shadys are just imitating
So won't the real Slim Shady please stand up
Please stand up, please stand up?
'Cause I'm Slim Shady, yes, I'm the real Shady
All you other Slim Shadys are just imitating
So won't the real Slim Shady please stand up
Please stand up, please stand up?

Will Smith don't gotta cuss in his raps to sell records
Well, I do, so fuck him and fuck you too
You think I give a damn about a Grammy?
Half of you critics can't even stomach me, let alone stand me
"But Slim, what if you win, wouldn't it be weird?"
Why, so you guys could just lie to get me here?
So you can sit me here next to Britney Spears?
Shit, Christina Aguilera better switch me chairs
So I can sit next to Carson Daly and Fred Durst
And hear 'em argue over who she gave head to first
Little bitch put me on blast on MTV
"Yeah, he's cute, but I think he's married to Kim, hee-hee"
I should download her audio on MP3
And show the whole world how you gave Eminem VD (ah)
I'm sick of you little girl and boy groups
All you do is annoy me, so I have been sent here to destroy you
And there's a million of us just like me
Who cuss like me, who just don't give a fuck like me
Who dress like me, walk, talk and act like me
And just might be the next best thing, but not quite me

'Cause I'm Slim Shady, yes, I'm the real Shady
All you other Slim Shadys are just imitating
So won't the real Slim Shady please stand up
Please stand up, please stand up?
'Cause I'm Slim Shady, yes, I'm the real Shady
All you other Slim Shadys are just imitating
So won't the real Slim Shady please stand up
Please stand up, please stand up?

I'm like a headtrip to listen to, 'cause I'm only giving' you
Things you joke about with your friends inside your living' room
The only difference is I got the balls to say it in front of y'all
And I don't gotta be false or sugarcoat it at all
I just get on the mic and spit it
And whether you like to admit it, I just shit it
Better than ninety percent of you rappers out can
Then you wonder, "how can
Kids eat up these albums like Valiums?"
It's funny, 'cause at the rate I'm going, when I'm thirty
I'll be the only person in the nursing home flirting
Pinching nurses asses when I'm jacking off with Jergens
And I'm jerking, but this whole bag of Viagra isn't working
And every single person is a Slim Shady lurking
He could be working at Burger King, spitting' on your onion rings
Or in the parking lot, circling, screaming, "I don't give a fuck"
With his windows down and his system up
So will the real Shady please stand up
And put one of those fingers on each hand up?
And be proud to be outta your mind and outta control
And one more time, loud as you can, how does it go?

I'm Slim Shady, yes, I'm the real Shady
All you other Slim Shadys are just imitating
So won't the real Slim Shady please stand up
Please stand up, please stand up?
'Cause I'm Slim Shady, yes, I'm the real Shady
All you other Slim Shadys are just imitating
So won't the real Slim Shady please stand up
Please stand up, please stand up?
'Cause I'm Slim Shady, yes, I'm the real Shady
All you other Slim Shadys are just imitating
So won't the real Slim Shady please stand up
Please stand up, please stand up?
'Cause I'm Slim Shady, yes, I'm the real Shady
All you other Slim Shadys are just imitating
So won't the real Slim Shady please stand up
Please stand up, please stand up?

Ha ha, I guess there's a Slim Shady in all of us
Fuck it, let's all stand up

on Remember Me?

Remember me? S executions
Remember me? I have no remorse
Remember me? I'm high-powered
Remember me? I drop bombs like Hiroshima

For this one, they scream "X, you retarded?!"
'Cause I grab the mic and get down like syndrome
Hide and roam into the masses
Without boundaries, which qualifies me
For the term "universal" without no rehearsal
I leak words that's controversial
Like I'm not the one you wanna contest, see
'Cause I'll hit your ass like the train did that bitch
That got banned from TV, heavyweight getup
Hit you, watch your whole head split up
Loco is the motion, we comin' through
Hollow-tips is the lead the .45 threw

Remember me? Throw your guns in the air
Remember me? Slam, slam
Remember me? Nigga, back the fuck up
Remember me? Chka-chka-Onyx

Niggas that take no for an answer get told no
Yeah, I been told no, but it was more like "No! No! No!"
Life a bitch, met her, fuck you if you let her
Better come better than better to be a competitor
This vet is ahead of the shit, it's all redder, you deader and deader
A medic instead of the cheddars and credda
Settle vendetta with metal Beretta from ghetto to ghetto
Evidence, nope, never leave a shred of
I got the soul of every rapper in me, love me or hate me
My moms got raped by the industry and made me
I'm the illest nigga ever, I told you
I get more pussy than them dyke bitches Total
Want beef, nigga? Pfft, you better dead that shit
My name should be Can't-Believe-That-Nigga-Said-That-Shit
Probably sayin' he ain't a killer, but I'm killin' myself
Smoke death, fuck bitches raw on the kitchen floor
So think what I'ma do to you, have done to you
Got niggas in my hood who'd do that shit for a blunt or two
What you wanna do? Cocksuckers, we Glock busters
'Til the cops cuff us, gon' start ruckus and drop blockbusters
Round the clock hustlers, you cannot touch us
I'm gettin' wires, niggas wantin' me dead
Wantin' my head, you think it could be somethin' I said?

Remember me? I just don't give a fuck
Remember me? Yeah, fuck you too
Remember me? I'm low down and I'm shifty
Remember me? I'm Shady

When I go out, I'ma go out shootin'
I don't mean when I die, I mean when I go out to the club, stupid
I'm tryin' to clean up my fuckin' image
So I promised the fuckin' critics
I wouldn't say "fuckin'" for six minutes
(Six minutes, Slim Shady, you're on)
My baby's mom, bitch made me an angry blonde
So I made me a song, killed her and put Hailie on
I may be wrong, I keep thinkin' these crazy thoughts
In my cranium, but I'm stuck with a crazy mom
(Is she really on as much dope as you say she's on?)
Came home and somebody must've broke in the back window
And stole two loaded machine guns and both of my trench coats
Six sick dreams of picnic scenes
Two kids, sixteen, with M-16s and ten clips each
And them shits reach through six kids each
And Slim gets blamed in Bill Clint's speech to fix these streets?!
Fuck that! Pfft, you faggots can vanish to volcanic ash
And reappear in hell with a can of gas and a match
Aftermath, Dre, grab the gat, show 'em where it's at
(What the fuck you starin' at, nigga?)

Don't you remember me?
Remember me?
Remember me?
Remember me? (Slim Shady!)
