Legacy
Eminem - stafaband.co Lyrics

Tell me where to go, tell me what to do
I am willing to do whatever it takes for you and follow your guidance.

I'll be right there for you
I will always be by your side and support you.

Tell me what to say, no matter if it's true
I am willing to speak whatever you want me to say, even if it's not the truth.

I'll say it all for you (for you, for you, for you)
I will say anything you want me to say, emphasizing my dedication to you.

I used to be the type of kid that would always think the sky is falling
I had a pessimistic perspective and constantly believed that the worst would happen.

Why am I so differently wired? Am I a Martian?
I question why I am so unique and think differently from others. I feel like I don't belong in this world.

What kind of twisted experiment am I involved in?
I wonder if I am part of some strange and unconventional experiment or situation.

'Cause I don't belong in this world
I feel like an outsider and don't fit into this world or society.

That's why I'm scoffing at authority, defiant often
Because I feel like I don't belong, I often challenge and disrespect authority figures.

Flying off at the handle with my mom, no dad
I have anger outbursts and conflicts with my mother since I don't have a father figure.

So I'm non-compliant at home, at school I'm just shy and awkward
I refuse to follow rules or instructions at home, while at school, I am introverted and socially awkward.

And I don't need no goddamn psychologist
I don't believe that a psychologist can help me or understand my underlying issues.

Trynna diagnose why I have all these underlying problems
They are attempting to analyze and determine the cause of my deep-seated issues.

Thinking he can try and solve them
Believing that the psychologist can somehow fix or resolve my problems.

I'm outside chalking up drawings on the sidewalk
To escape, I spend time drawing designs on the pavement outside.

And in the front drive talking to myself
I find solace in speaking to myself while pacing around the driveway.

Either that or inside hiding often, in the corner somewhere, quiet
Alternatively, I frequently hide indoors and isolate myself, seeking solace in quiet corners.

Trying not to be noticed 'cause I'm crying and sobbing
I attempt to remain unseen because I'm in distress and experiencing intense emotions.

I had a bad day at school, so I ain't talking
My negative experience at school has made me reluctant to communicate or open up.

Some cocksucker shoved me into a fucking locker
A disrespectful person forcefully pushed me into a locker, causing frustration and anger.

'Cause he said that I eyeballed him
He confronted me because he believed I was staring at him with hostility.

And if you fall, I'll get you there
If you face difficulties or challenges, I will be there to support and help you overcome them.

I'll be your savior from
I will act as your rescuer and protect you from

All the wars that are fought
The conflicts and battles that occur

Inside your world
Within your personal sphere or emotions

Please have faith in my words
I ask you to trust and believe in what I say.

'Cause this is my legacy, legacy, here
I consider this song to be a representation of my life's work and impact.

There's no guarantee, it's not up to me, you can only see
There is no certainty or control over how my legacy will be perceived or remembered, only time will tell.

I used to be the type of kid that would always think the sky is falling
I used to have a negative mindset, always expecting the worst to happen.

Now I think the fact that I'm differently wired's awesome
I now embrace and find pride in the fact that I think and perceive things differently from others.

'Cause if I wasn't I wouldn't be able to work
Because of my unique mindset, I am able to create and excel in my craft.

Words like this and connect lines like crosswords
I have the ability to form meaningful words and connect lines in my music, just like solving a crossword puzzle.

And use my enemy's words as strength (strength)
I derive strength and motivation from the words and criticisms of my enemies.

To try and draw from, and get inspired off 'em
I use their words and actions as a source of inspiration and fuel for my creativity.

'Cause all my life I was told and taught I am not shit
Throughout my life, people constantly belittled me and made me feel worthless.

By you whack fucking giant sacks of lying dog shit (dog shit)
I am referring to the people who have deceived and spread lies about me, calling them disgusting and dishonest.

Now you shut up bitch, I am talking
I assert myself and demand that my critics remain silent while I express myself.

Thought I was full of horseshit and now
They previously believed my words were nonsense and lies, but now

You fucking worship the ground on which I am walking (I am walking)
They now idolize and admire me, showing extreme respect and admiration.

Me against the world so what? I'm Brian Dawkins
Even though I have the odds stacked against me, I will fight like Brian Dawkins, a professional football player known for his determination.

Versus the whole oh and sixteen Lions offense
I am comparing myself to Brian Dawkins going against a team that had no wins in a season to highlight my underdog status.

So bring on the Giants, Falcons and Miami Dolphins
I am ready to face and conquer any challenges or opponents, no matter how formidable.

It's the body bag game bitch, I'm supplying coffins
I am so confident in my abilities that I will defeat my opponents and be the cause of their downfall.

'Cause you dicks, butt kiss, bunch of Brian Baldingers
I am insulting my critics, calling them sycophants and comparing them to Brian Baldinger, a sports analyst known for his biased opinions.

You gon' die a ball licker I've been diabolical
I predict that my critics will remain stuck in their narrow-mindedness, while I continue to be strategic and crafty.

With this dialogue since '99 Rawkus
I have been using my powerful words and expressing my thoughts since 1999 when I signed with Rawkus Records.

You don't respect the legacy I leave behind y'all can
My critics fail to acknowledge and appreciate the impact and significance of the legacy I will leave behind.

Suck a dick, the day you beat me, pigs'll fly out my ass
I dismiss any notion that my critics will ever surpass me, using a crude metaphor to emphasize the impossibility of their success.

And a flying saucer full of Italian sausage
I further emphasize the absurdity of their victory by mentioning a flying saucer filled with Italian sausage, portraying it as an impossibility.

The most high exalting and I ain't halting
I am confident in my superiority and will continue to elevate myself without slowing down or ceasing.

'Til I die of exhaustion inhale my exhaust fumes (exhaust fumes)
I will continue to work tirelessly and leave a lasting impact until I am physically drained, using the metaphor of inhaling my own success and power.

The best part about me, is I am not you
I take pride in my individuality and uniqueness, distinguishing myself from others.

I'm me, and I'm the fire Marshall and this is my (this is my)
I reinforce my identity as myself and compare myself to a fire Marshall, emphasizing my ability to control and ignite passion and creativity. This song represents my legacy.
