Fly Away
Eminem feat. Royce Da 5'9' Lyrics

Some people ask me, where I've been lately
People have been asking me where I have been.

They thought I fell off, nobody could save me
People thought that I have not been doing well, and there was no help for me.

I play in the background, I don't back down
I work quietly behind the scenes and never give up.

So don't get it twisted, tryna play me
Don't underestimate me or try to take advantage of me.

First I come out, they underate me
Previously, people didn't recognize my worth.

Then I come back, still try to fade me
When I came back, people still tried to bring me down.

They say I'm nasty, say I'm crazy
People label me as immoral and unstable.

Ask what I think, I say maybe
When asked if I agree with their assessment, I say perhaps.

I fly away
I’m leaving these negative and judgmental people behind.

It ain't nothin' in my way so I may as well fly away
Nothing is holding me back, so I might as well leave.

I know you wanna see me down but we aint gon die today
You may wish for my downfall, but it's not happening today.

Cos I've been to the top and there's nowhere else to go
I've reached the peak of my career and cannot go any higher.

The only way to see me is if you lookin' up from down below
If you want to see me, you'll have to look up because I'm on top.

I'm on top of this thing so i may aswell fly away
I'm at the top of the world, so I might as well leave.

Got my self esteem back, got my confidence up
I have regained my self-respect and increased my confidence.

I'ma step up on the stage now, I'm gonna strut
I'm going to perform with pride and confidence.

And walk around with my pants hanging over my butt
I'll wear my pants low like others, but I don't need any advice on that.

And you aint gotta tell me notin' boy, get off of my nuts
I don't need your advice or your attention, so leave me alone.

It goes one for the money, two for the show
An expression used when starting a performance or competition.

My shit don't stink, I dont think so
I believe that I am superior and don't make any mistakes.

Wipe my ass with a tissue and roll it back up in a roll
An outrageous and disrespectful manner of speaking about personal hygiene products.

Are you ready now, here we go
Are you prepared for what's to come? Let's begin.

The bald eagle has landed
An expression that refers to the arrival of something notable or important.

I'm back in ya hair, sorry for leavin' you stranded
A metaphorical expression symbolizes him being missed and a sense of regret.

Im twice as dread and evil and rancid
I'm worse and far more frightening than before.

They cant sit, I don't think anybody understands it
Nobody can stay still, no one really gets his vibe.

Especially when the Worlds silly putty in ya hands, its playdough
He is holding this world in his hands like a moldable toy.

I aint got to play though, they say I died in a fatal
He doesn't need the world; the media's news is wrong and hurtful.

Car crash, shows what they know
The media's outlet gets the story wrong and can't be trusted.

Shit if I did, it'd be a trailer not a car
If he died, he would go out big and not in a small way.

The white trash star
He is trashy, but he's innovative and highly regarded.

I fuckin RV up like Brett Favre
He destroys items as a famous quarterback did with his vehicle.

Homie you got it backwards, your dippin your soup inside ya crackers
You are not eating soup and crackers correctly, letting his friend know he's wrong.

I can carry rap til my back hurts
He is able to go beyond his physical limits to keep going in the rap

Set it down go right back to the Chiropractors
After finishing the rap, he needs some physical therapy.

Get my back right
He will fix his back no matter what it takes.

Now I'm right back on you bastards
He's back and ready to prove people wrong.

I was chasin' the dragon, I dont know what happened
It was like getting high for the first time, trying to reach that feeling again.

It was like the feelin' I had when I first started rappin'
An intense feeling of excitement and success from his early days.

I just could'nt seem to get back and recapture that magic
He can't recapture this feeling of success again.

So I went back to the lab, thats where I've been at when...
He went back to the lab (writing and producing) to rekindle this magic.

I took a hiatus haters now I'm back to cause trouble
He took a break, so people would forget about him and now he's back to cause his intended mischief.

Got the fucking shape of mushroom clouds for thought bubbles
His thoughts are explosive and should be feared.

Im the bang you aint fuckin sick
He is the source and reason for greatness behind this work.

The hospital won't even give you cough drops for course cocksucker
If sick, the hospital wouldn't give you only cough drops because you're not worth their time.

You think your hot, you aint even luke warm
He thinks that they overrate themselves and that they do not measure up.

My pubes hotter than you
His pubic region is still hotter than their efforts combined.

Your soft I use fire to cool me off
The person's lack of effort or drive is boring and doesn't give him any inspiration.

I told em I'll grow up one day and show ‘em I'd be able to choke clouds
Everyone doubts him, but he will show people that he can outdo the impossible.

Pick up lightenin' bolts and throw ‘em
He can control the thunderbolts and shape them to his will.

Take the world by storm with these words I form
He will change the world with his words.

Georgie porgie kissed the girls, make the girls cry for em
He’s something like Georgie Porgie, in that he has a way with the ladies that makes them want him.

Make ‘em swarm, make ‘em fight over the shirts I've worn
His fans are willing to fight over pieces of merchandise that have touched him.

Sworn over my sweat towels, its mind blowin
He takes an extremely intense vow over an item soaked with sweat, it's incredible.

Yes Im livin' the dream homie, cant nothin' compare
He's living his desired life, and nothing is better.

I'm so up, I'm stuck in mid air I'm lovin' it yeah
He’s achieved so much that he's literally suspended in air, happy about what he's accomplished.

Its like these people are steps now, all they do is stare
People only look at him, impressed by his success.

These haters is so pussy they're afraid to be scared
These haters are cowards and are afraid of his potential.

This is pay back, like I owe ‘em back pay
This is his retribution, as if he owed them something.

They spat in my face, now I'm back to do them the same exact way
They have tried to rob him of his success, so he's back to do the same to them.

And leave this rap game with a bad taste,
He will reach fame with the nasty actions that he will do.

And slap it back out, before I step back out of this crap thanks
When he is done and leaves the game, he will hit them before he goes.

Slap me now I'm slapping ‘em back hey! fuck it we'll slap back
He's not afraid of retaliation and ready for it.

But yeh okay now we'll talk cause I'm smack ay
He wants to talk, but only after he gets a smack first.

And I aint looking back infact they can stare at my ass crack
He's not turning his view, they can stare at his backside in disbelief for all he cares.

How's that for hindsight, what the track say?
He is leaving them with a snarky comment, before dissing them again vocally.
