Eminem & Royce da 59 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Uh)
First verse, uh, I'm on till I'm on a island
My life's ridin' on the Autobahn on autopilot
Before I touch dirt, I'll kill you all with kindness
I kill ya, my natural persona's much worse
You've been warned if you've been born or if you conform
Leave him wit' his socks, hard bottoms and bloomers on
And hang him by his balls from the horn of a unicorn
Y'all niggas' intellect mad slow, y'all fags know
Claimin' you bangin', you flamin', bet you could light your own cigarette wit' ya asshole
Me and Shady deaded the past so that basically resurrected my cash flow
I might rap tight as the snatch of a fat dyke, though I ain't wrapped tight
My blood type's the '80s
My '90s was like the Navy
You was like the Bradys
You still fly kites daily
Eminem:
Catch me in my Mercedes, bumpin' "Ice, Ice Baby," screamin' Shady till I die
Like a half a pair of dice, life's crazy so I live it to the fullest till I'm Swayze
And you only live it once, so I'm thinkin' 'bout this nice, nice lady
Wait, no, stop me now b'fore I get on a roll (Danish)
Let me tell you what this pretty little dame's name is, 'cause she's kinda famous
And I hope that I don't sound too heinous when I say this
Nicki Minaj, but I wanna stick my penis in your anus
You morons think that I'm a genius
Really I belong inside a dang insane asylum, cleanin', try them trailer parks
Crazy, I am back, and I am razor-sharp, baby
And that's back wit' a capital B wit' an exclamation mark, maybe
You should listen when I flip the linguistics, 'cause I'm 'onna rip this mystical slick shit
You don't wanna become another victim or statistic of this shit
'Cause after I spit the bullets
I'ma treat these shell casings like a soccer ball I'ma kick the ballistics
So get this dick, I'ma live this
Sly "Pyper" Jordan:
Livin' life in the fast lane
Movin' at the speed of life and I can't slow down
Only got a gallon in the gas tank
But I'm almost at the finish line, so I can't stop now
I don't really know where I'm headed, just enjoyin' the ride
Just gon' roll till I drop and ride till I die
I'm livin' life in the fast lane (Pedal to the metal)
Livin' life in the fast lane (Pedal to the metal)
Royce Da 5'9":
My whole goal as a poet's to be relaxed in orbit
At war wit' a bottle, this Captain Morgan attacks my organs
My slow flow is euphoric, it's like I rap endorphins
I made a pact with the Devil that says "I'll let you take me
You let me take this shovel, dig up the corpe's of Jack Kevorkian"
Go back and forth in more beef that you can pack a fork in
I'm livin' the life of the infinite enemy down, my tenement, too many now, to send my serenity powers
Spin 'em around, enterin' in the vicinity
Eminem:
Now, was called Eminem, but he threw away the candy and ate the rapper
Chewed him up (Pt!) and spitted him out
Girl, giddy-up, now get get down
He's lookin' around this club and it looks like people are havin' a shit fit-fit now
Here, little t-t-trailer trash, take a look who's back in t-t-town
Did I st-st-stutter, motherfucker, fuck the mall, he's just
A whole motherfuckin' Walmart d-d-down every time he comes a-r-r-round
And he came to the club tonight wit' 5'9" to hold this bitch down
Like a motherfuckin' chick underwater, he tryna d-dr-drown, shawty when you dance you got me captivated
Just by the way that you keep lickin' them dicks like lips, I'm agitated, aggravated
To the point you don't suck my dick, then you're gonna get decapitated
Other words, you don't fuckin' give me head, then I'm have to take it
Royce Da 5'9":
And then after takin' that, I'ma catch a case, it's gon' be fascinatin'
It's gonna say "The whole rap game passed away" on top of the affidavit
Graduated from master debater slash massive masturbator to Michael Jackson' activator (Woo!)
Meanin' I'm on fire off the top, might wanna back up the data
Runnin' over hip-hop in a verbal tractor-trailer
Homey, this sick, you can normally ask a hater
Don't it make sense, these shell casings is just like a bag of paper
Drop in the lap of a tax evader (Homie, they spent)
Eminem:
Now make that ass drop, like a sack of potatoes, what girl I'm the crack-a-lator
Percolator this party, be my penis ejaculator later
Tell you boyfriend that you just struck paydirt
You rollin' wit' a player, you won't be exaggeratin' when you say you're livin'
Sly "Pyper" Jordan:
Livin' life in the fast lane
Movin' at the speed of life and I can't slow down
Only got a gallon in the gas tank
But I'm almost at the finish line, so I can't stop now
I don't really know where I'm headed, just enjoyin' the ride
Just gon' roll till I drop and ride till I die
I'm livin' life in the fast lane (Pedal to the metal)
Living life in the fast lane (Pedal to the metal)
The song "Fast Lane" by Eminem and Royce Da 59 is a celebration of their success and their continued determination to stay on top. In the first verse, Royce declares that he is unstoppable, driving on the Autobahn with his life on autopilot. He also warns those who try to bring him down with their conformity that he will kill them all with kindness, but his natural persona is much worse. His lyricism and delivery are quick-witted and sharp, and he doesn't hesitate to call out those who claim to be gangsters but are actually slow-witted.
Eminem's verse is equally as intense, as he raps about living life to the fullest and embracing his wild side. He references Nicki Minaj, saying he wants to stick his penis in her anus, and declares that he belongs in an insane asylum. His flow is aggressive and his lyrics are provocative, as he takes shots at trailer parks and claims that he is back sharper than ever before.
Throughout the chorus, Sly "Pyper" Jordan sings about living life in the fast lane and enjoying the ride, even though he doesn't know where he's headed. The song is a reminder that success doesn't come easy and it takes hard work and determination to stay on top.

So get this dick, I'ma live this
So understand this fact, I'm going to live my life without any apologies
Livin' life in the fast lane
Living life at a rapid pace
Movin' at the speed of life and I can't slow down

I have very little fuel left
But I'm almost at the finish line, so I can't stop now
Despite having limited resources, I am determined to keep going until I reach my goal

Royce Da 5'9 - One of the extremely few Rappers in history who did a track with Em and did not get killed, but instead killed the shit with him.
