Wicked
Eminem feat. X Ambassadors Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm loading up and I'm taking names
I wanna dig my way to hell
I wanna dig my way to hell
I'm getting by with my wicked ways
I'm loading up and I'm taking names
I wanna dig my way to hell
Guess I got a way with words, I could get away with murder
Ever heard of Asperger's? It's a rare condition
It's what you're suffering from when you simply don't care if it's an
Eighty degree day and there's no frickin' air conditioning
And you can't see b- the hair is frizzin'
'Cause you got the windows up, blaring the system in your Chevrolet Prizm
The devil ain't on a level same as him
Picture someone who revels in straight masochism
And imagine him giving an adjective an a- whooping
So bad they should put his a- in prison
A word bully, I verbally abuse verbs like he did something to me personally
Used to get bullied, so I cut class and ditch it
Now I bully rap, I'm the sh-, f- (sniff it)
Cadillac from a K Car, my a- from a hole in the ground, still can't tell 'em a-part
Came straight out the trailer park screaming
I'm proud to shop at K-Mart, and it became art
And I'm still fed up and as pissed off as they are
To this day I still get in fights with the same broad
At the same Walmart arguing over the same cart
In the middle of the aisle wylin', I don't give a f-, I don't play
B-, you think you saw this basket first?
You're a- backwards like motherf- Bob and Silent Jay
Illest sh- you could think I would say
Mind's like a pile of clay
When's the last time that you saw a villain with a cape?
Ripped a gaping hole in it, flipped out
Ripped down the drapes
Tied 'em around my neck, went down the fire escape of the Empire State
Slipped, fell straight down to the ground, splattered all over the entire state
And straight to hell, got an impaled by the gates
So Satan stuck his face in an ashtray
While I sashayed around flames with a match and I gave him the gas face
And this ain't got nothing to do with a scale
Or being g-, little f-, but by the way
Thoughts are getting darker by the day
I'm a combination of Skylar Grey, Tyler the Creator, and Violent J
It's a f- miracle to be this lyrical
Paint my face with clown make up and a smiley face, I'm insane
Every rhyme I say sons you like an ultra-violet ray
I'm sellin' hatred, buffet style, all the sh- you can eat
$11.99, so come on and pile a plate
I'm throwin' down the gauntlet to see what hell I can raise
With the rhyme I'm spittin' while I'm sh- on competition
In the meantime it's always mean time, I'm getting
I'm getting by with my wicked ways
I'm loading up and I'm taking names
I wanna dig my way to hell
I wanna dig my way to hell
I'm getting by with my wicked ways
I'm loading up and I'm taking names
I wanna dig my way to hell
I wanna dig my way to hell
I've been a career asshole
I don't see why these people always got my back
I done said so much f- up sh-, I was born a mistake
But I was put here not by accident
I had a purpose and that purpose was to beat a beat purplish
Slaughter tracks, I done put my two dimes and a nickel in this sh-
I'm coming to get that quarter back
Like Ndamukong, the drama can build
Your mama can ask me for my autograph
'Cause that cougar's a MILF, she's the oldest trick in the book
But I sure would fall for that
You done brought a bat to a rocket launcher fight
When I get on the mic I'm a snap
Make you wish the ambulance that took me to the hospital
When I overdosed would have caught a flat
If it makes you sick to your stomach acid
Indigestion, my suggestion's Kaopectate
If it feels like I'm running away with the game
It's 'cause I am, don't speculate, spectate
All I got is d- for days and insults for decades
But I get by my wicked ways, lady you can suck a d- 'til your neck aches
Cry 'til you get puffy eyes, red faced
But I'm leaving on this jet plane
You ain't fly, you're an airhead
I'm sick of pounding a square peg in a round hole, sorry, another catchphrase
But your baggage ain't gonna fit in my storage over headspace
'Cause you just ain't big enough to fit your damaged goods
Other words, don't try to put your heart in a headcase
'Cause, baby, stable mentally, I ain't, I need my meds, I peed my bed
I'm going blind, I don't see my legs, I keep on falling down
No wonder you can't stand me, I need my cane
Someone help me, I think my face is melting
If you felt these migraines and see these maggots eat my brain
This G-I-A-N-T hole in my empty head
If you read my mind, you can see my pain
And you'd see why I be this way
Ever since I was knee high playin' with G.I. Joes
Told these h- shut their P-I-E holes, now peep my game
'Cause I'm 'bout it 'bout it
Like a f- echo (echo)
(Psych) Psycho on a cyclone cycle, spriralin', here I go
I'm out of control like no other mic go
Stab you to 'til the knife goes, dull
I'm nothing but a hole inside your skull where your eye goes
'Cause I'ma sock it to you
You don't like it?
Get on your Harley Davidson menstrual cycle and ride it like a motorbike
I'm finna blow the mic the whole night, so
Strike up the f- maestro, I'm nitro
And hi, ho, hand me my shovel
I'm liable to dig my hole deeper
And it's off to H-E double hockey sticks I go
I'm getting by with my wicked ways
I'm loading up and I'm taking names
I wanna dig my way to hell
I wanna dig my way to hell
I'm getting by with my wicked ways
I'm loading up and I'm taking names
I wanna dig my way to hell
I wanna dig my way to hell
Oh, please be empty, please be empty, please be empty
Oh, thank you, God
Ah
Sh-
F-
What the f-
Is that a girl?
Yeah, I'm gonna rock this blouse and put a cock in mouth and get my balls blew out
And get gay into the AM
And lay with eighteen guys naked and let myself show, let myself show
I wonder who that voice is
Buttf- it, suck it, pull it, tug it
Life's too short to not stroke your bone
F- serious?
So everybody, everybody
Jerk, touch my body
Who is that? Where you going?
Come back
Why does everyone always leave me?
Hello? F- you then
Blow it out your a-
The lyrics of Eminem feat. X Ambassadors's song "Wicked Ways" are centered about the artist's controversial and rebellious self-perception, as he portrays himself as a devilish figure digging his way to hell. Through these lyrics, he professes his tendency towards self-destructive and wicked behavior, which he has dealt with since childhood due to bullying. He sees himself as the person who bullies now, who can abuse verbs as if they had personally wronged me. He uses Asperger's as something of a metaphor for his ability to seemingly get away with murder due to his profound disregard for social norms. Eminem's desperation is prevalent in the chorus, as he hopes to dig his way to hell; a place where he can enjoy his wickedness and find solace.
The second verse focuses on his misdeeds in life and describes how he believes people should not trust or have his side, especially based on what he has done and the things he has said in the past. Despite his dark and troublesome mentality, Eminem's lyrics conclude with a note of humor, as he switches into a character who is aroused by both sexes, and he intentionally tries to shock the listeners by dropping several curse words.
Overall, the song is dark and gritty, filled with raps that reflect the artist's self-perceived plight; a wicked existence that seems to be riddled with internal demons he simply cannot escape from.

Ripped a gaping hole in it, flipped out
I tore a large and noticeable hole in the cape, losing control and becoming enraged
Ripped down the drapes
I violently tore down the curtains
Tied 'em around my neck, went down the fire escape of the Empire State
Then, I took those curtains and wrapped them around my neck, while descending the fire escape of the Empire State Building
Slipped, fell straight down to the ground, splattered all over the entire state
Unfortunately, I lost my grip, fell rapidly to the ground, and my body exploded, covering the entire state with my remains
And straight to hell, got an impaled by the gates
As a result, my soul descended to hell and was immediately stabbed by the gates that guard its entrance
So Satan stuck his face in an ashtray
In response, Satan forcibly pushed his face into an ashtray
While I sashayed around flames with a match and I gave him the gas face
Meanwhile, I confidently strutted around the flames, holding a lit match, and showed Satan my contemptuous expression
And this ain't got nothing to do with a scale
My actions and behavior have nothing to do with a measuring scale
Or being g-, little f-, but by the way

I am boldly challenging and provoking others to witness the chaos and destruction I can bring
With the rhyme I'm spittin' while I'm sh- on competition
Through my skilled and intense delivery of raps, I excel and dominate over my competitors without mercy
In the meantime, it's always mean time, I'm getting
In the midst of all this hostility and aggression, I continue to thrive and succeed

Yeah, I'm gonna rock this blouse and put a cock in mouth and get my balls blew out
Asserting one's intention to cross gender norms by wearing a blouse, engage in sexual acts, and receive oral pleasure
And get gay into the AM
Engaging in homosexual activities until the morning
And lay with eighteen guys naked and let myself show, let myself show
Engaging in sexual acts with eighteen males while being completely exposed and embracing one's true self
I wonder who that voice is
Curiously questioning the identity of a particular voice
Buttf- it, suck it, pull it, tug it
Disregarding or dismissing the voice, instead redirecting the attention to sexual activities
Life's too short to not stroke your bone
Life is too brief to not engage in self-pleasure or indulge in sexual desires
F- serious?
Expressing disbelief or frustration at a serious or important matter
So everybody, everybody, jerk, touch my body
Inviting and encouraging everyone to engage in sexual acts with their own bodies
Who is that? Where you going?
Asking about the identity and destination of a particular person
Come back
Requesting the person to return or come back to the current location
Why does everyone always leave me?
Expressing a recurring feeling of abandonment and questioning why people frequently depart from one's presence
Hello? F- you then
Responding in a rude and dismissive manner to someone who does not respond to your greeting
Blow it out your a-
An insult, suggesting the person should insert something unpleasant into their anus
