Bad Meets Evil
Eminem feat. Royce Da 5'9' Lyrics

I reckon you ain't familiar with these here parts
I believe you are unfamiliar with this particular location

You know, there's a story behind that there saloon
There is a narrative associated with that establishment

Twenty years ago, two outlaws took this whole town over
Two criminals gained control of the entire town two decades ago

Sheriffs couldn't stop 'em
The law enforcement officers were unable to apprehend them

Quickest damn gun slingers I've ever seen
They were the fastest and most skilled shooters I have witnessed

Got murdered in cold blood
They were brutally killed

That old saloon there was their lil' home away from home
That old saloon served as their second home

They say the ghosts of bad and evil still live in that tavern
It is rumored that the spirits of those wicked individuals still reside in that drinking establishment

And on a quiet night
During a serene evening

You can still hear the footsteps of Slim Shady and Royce Da 5'9"
One can still perceive the sound of Slim Shady and Royce Da 5'9" walking

I don't speak, I float in the air wrapped in a sheet
I do not communicate with spoken words; instead, I hover while covered in a cloth

I'm not a real person, I'm a ghost trapped in a beat
I am not a tangible being; rather, I am a spirit confined within a musical rhythm

I translate when my voice is read through a seismograph
My vocal expressions are converted into seismic waves when observed by a seismograph

And the noise is spread, picked up and transmitted through Royce's head (uh)
The sound vibrations are disseminated, captured, and conveyed through Royce's mind

Trapped him in his room, possess him and hoist his bed
I confined him within his chamber, possessed him, and lifted his bed

'Til the evilness flows through his blood like poisonous lead
Until sinister intentions permeate his bloodstream like toxic metal

Told him each one of his boys is dead (oh)
Informed him that all his companions have perished

I asked him to come to the dark side, he made a choice and said
I requested him to join the realm of wickedness, and he decided affirmatively

Yo, who hard? Yo, I done heard worse
Hey, who is tough? I have heard even more extreme situations

We can get in two cars and accelerate at each other
We can each drive a vehicle and accelerate towards one another

To see which one will swerve first
To determine who will veer away first

Two blind bandits panic, whose mental capacity holds
Two reckless bandits become anxious, whose cognitive ability possesses

That of a globe, on top of nine other planets
A level of intellect equivalent to a planet with nine additional celestial bodies

Kissed the cheek of the devil
Engaged in an alliance with malevolence

Intelligence level is hellier than treble peakin' on speakers in the ghetto
Level of intelligence exceeds even the highest pitch emanating from speakers in impoverished neighborhoods

Dismissal, I'm not a fair man, disgraced the race of an atheist
Disregard, I am not impartial, demeaned the beliefs of a non-believer

Intercepting missiles with my bare hands like a patriot
Capturing projectiles using only my hands, akin to a patriotic individual

One track sliced without swords, I buried the Christ corpse
I divided a musical composition without traditional instruments, placing the body of Jesus in a grave

In my past life when the black knight mounted the white horse
In a previous existence, when a dark warrior rode a pale steed

And stay over-worked, it's like the Nazis and the Nations
Persistently occupied, comparable to the collaboration between Nazis and Nations

Collaborating, attemptin' to take over the earth
Working together, endeavoring to seize control of the entire planet

'Cause this is what happens when Bad meets Evil
This is the consequence when wickedness encounters malevolence

We hit the trees 'til we look like Vietnamese people
We strike the trees repeatedly until our appearance resembles that of Vietnamese individuals

He's evil, and I'm bad like Steve Seagal
He is wicked, and I am morally deficient similar to Steve Seagal

Above the law 'cause I don't agree with police either
Outside the realm of law due to my disagreement with law enforcement as well

(Shit, me neither)
(Damn, I feel the same way)

We ain't eager to be legal
We have no desire to conform to legal regulations

So please leave me with the keys to your Jeep Eagle
Therefore, kindly grant me the possession of your Jeep Eagle

I breathe ether in three lethal amounts
I inhale a flammable substance in doses that can be fatal

While I stab myself in the knee with a diseased needle (ah)
Simultaneously puncturing my knee with an infected needle

Releasin' rage on anybody in squeezing range
Unleashing fury upon anyone within proximity for me to physically squeeze

Cold enough to make the seasons change into freezing rain (he's insane)
Cold to the extent that the seasons transition into freezing precipitation (he is mentally unstable)

No I'm not, I just want to shoot up and I'm pissed off
No, I am not insane; I simply desire to inject drugs, and I am angry

'Cause I can't find a decent vein
Since I cannot locate a suitable blood vessel

The disaster with dreads
The calamitous individual with dreadlocks

I'm bad enough to commit suicide and survive long enough
I possess the audacity to attempt suicide, yet persevere for an extended duration

To kill my soul after I'm dead
To annihilate my spirit once my physical existence ceases

When in danger, it's funny, actually my flavor's similar to a waiter
When facing peril, it is amusing that my demeanor resembles that of a waiter

'Cause I serve any stranger with money
As I accommodate any unknown individual with monetary compensation

I spray a hundred, men until they joint chains
I discharge a large number of bullets, causing individuals to bind together

While slippin' bullets at point blank range like they was punches
Simultaneously launching bullets at extremely close proximity as if they were punches

Piss on a flag and burn it, murder you then come to your funeral
Urinate on a flag and set it ablaze, kill you and subsequently attend your funeral

Service lobby and strangle your body to confirm it
In the entrance area, tightly grip your physique to ensure your demise

Whippin' human ass, throwin' blows, crackin' jaws
Physically assaulting individuals, delivering powerful punches, breaking their jaws

With my fists wrapped in gauze, dipped in glue and glass
Enveloping my fists with bandages, soaked in adhesive and fragments of glass

I'm blazin' MC's, at the same time amazin' MC's
I am rapidly defeating other emcees while simultaneously astonishing them

Somehow MC's ain't that eye-brow raisin' to me
For some reason, other emcees do not impress or surprise me

From all of angles of us, flash a MAC loud enough to cast a avalanche
Combinations of our positions, swiftly brandishing a MAC-10 firearm with enough volume to initiate an avalanche

And bust 'til volcanoes erupt
Continually firing until volcanoes erupt in response

Hello? (Billy)
Greetings? (calling out to Billy)

Ayo, what's up? (We're comin' to get you)
Hey, what is happening? (informing Billy that we are coming to apprehend him)

Stop, they know it's us
Halt, they are aware of our presence

I used to be a loudmouth, remember me? (Uh-huh)
I used to be outspoken, do you recall me? (affirmative)

I'm the one who burned your house down (oh)
I am the person who set your residence on fire

Well, I'm out now (shit)
Well, I am now free (expression of frustration)

And this time I'm comin' back to blow your house up
This time, I am returning to destroy your house explosively

And I ain't gon' leave you a window to jump out of
I will not grant you an escape route

Give me two fat tabs and three shrooms
Provide me with two substantial doses of LSD and three psychedelic mushrooms

And you won't see me like fat people in steam rooms
And you will not be able to perceive me, similar to obese individuals inside steam rooms

And when I go to hell and I'm gettin' ready to leave
Once I descend into hell and prepare to depart

I'ma put air in a bag and charge people to breathe
I will collect and sell air in a container to individuals

'Cause this is what happens when Bad meets Evil
This is the outcome when wickedness encounters malevolence

And we hit the trees 'til we look like Vietnamese people
And we strike the trees repetitively until our appearance resembles that of Vietnamese individuals

He's evil, and I'm bad like Steve Seagal
He possesses malevolence, and I am morally deficient similar to Steve Seagal

Against peaceful, see you in hell for the sequel
Opposing peaceful individuals, I will encounter you in hell for the next installment

(We'll be waitin')
(We will be prepared)

See you in hell (uh-huh)
We will meet in hell (affirmative)

Wall Street (yup)
Referring to Wall Street (confirmation)

Royce Da 5'9", Slim Shady (uh)
Mentioning Royce Da 5'9" and Slim Shady (affirmative)

See you in hell for the sequel (bye-bye)
We will meet in hell for the subsequent occurrence (farewell)

Bad meets Evil, what? (Until next time)
Bad encounters Evil, what? (until we meet again)

And so, that's the story of when Bad meets Evil
Hence, that is the narrative when wickedness encounters malevolence

Two of the most wanted individuals in the county
Two of the most sought-after individuals in the county

Made Jesse James and Billy the Kid look like law-abiding citizens
Rendered Jesse James and Billy the Kid appear as law-abiding individuals

It's too bad they had to go out the way they did
It is unfortunate that they met their demise in such a manner

Got shot in the back comin' out of that old saloon
They were shot from behind upon exiting that old saloon

But their spirits still live on to this day
Yet, their spirits remain present even now

Shh, wait, did y'all hear that?
Quiet, please wait, did all of you hear that?
