Above The Law
Eminem feat. Royce Lyrics

The poor stay poor, the rich get richer, it's just so disproportionate
There is an evident gap between the rich and the poor, with the latter being stuck in their current economic state, while the former continues to accumulate wealth.

Sometimes life seems so unfortunate, that's why I don't give a shit.
Life can be unfair and depressing at times, and that's why the singer does not care about the consequences of his actions.

You don't know just what I've gone through, that's why I would rather show you
The singer has been through tough times that no one else could understand, and he wants to demonstrate just how much he can overcome.

Just how far that I can take it, every rule, I'm breaking it
The artist is willing to push his limits and break any rules that prevent him from achieving his goals.

Fucking mistletoe over the world that stuck my ass up under it now pucker up them lips and kiss it hoes
The artist feels as though he has been trapped under the influence and power of others, but now he has overcome that and is calling for his opponents to accept their defeat.

Bad and Evil so you know how this'll go the competition's miserable we stomp them bitches , this is no joke
The singer is confident in his abilities, and he will dominate any competitor with ease.

Going overboard like someone threw us off the boat
The singer is pushing himself too hard, going beyond his limits as if someone forced him overboard.

I'm trying to stay on fire so you know if I hate fucking water sprinklers I don't want a hoes
The artist wants to maintain his passion and motivation and does not want any distractions or obstacles to suppress his drive.

Someone left a cat out the bag now it's time to stuff his face
Someone has revealed an important secret, and the artist plans on making sure they face the consequences.

Bag in that bitch thought of that little motherfucker till it suffocates, who
The artist is planning on making someone face the consequences of their actions, to the point where they will suffocate under the weight of their responsibility.

Came back to annihilate the games and dive straight this into this highway
The singer has returned with a vengeance to completely dominate and take control in this industry.

Word of Satan there's a drop full of ? Ouija board and I pray
The artist is suggesting that the competition has possibly made deals with the devil to achieve their success, and he is praying that he can overcome them.

Now I lay me down to sleep, I do this shit in my sleep
The singer is so confident in his abilities and talent that he can accomplish anything with ease, even while sleeping.

So now imagine if I awake!
The singer is threatening that if he were to fully awaken and apply himself, he would be unstoppable.

Baby I'm lawless, you couldn't burn me if you trew acid on me
The singer is fearless and unstoppable, and no amount of attempted harm would be able to affect him.

Everything on and around your matrass looking like a world in front of a matrimony - you high
The artist is suggesting that his opponents are high and delusional if they believe they can compete with him.

My DUI's get waved like saying bye, still rotten with no one else like James Todd can't change eye
The artist has been able to avoid getting in trouble for driving under the influence and is still being successful on his own, just as James Todd couldn't change his own eye color.

I thank God for my safe thinking last time I was safethinking me and my niggers was doing a bank job
The singer is grateful that he was able to think clearly during his last criminal activity, a bank robbery.

Y'all are rockstars, I'm the opposite, I could just throw a rock and hit a star, for the fuck of it Partner you not hard I'll body you hot bars, beef has left you praying right, like allah hoo akhbar
The singer feels as though his opponents are overrated and unimpressive, while he is the complete opposite and could easily defeat them. He also makes a religious reference to demonstrate his power over them.
