Talking (
Eminem)
You mean like, whatβ€²s the differnce between Eminem & Slim Shady?
Wow
Eminem Talking:
Eminem is Me sittin right here,
And Slim Shady is Me sittin' right here too.
Only Slim Shady is Me when I get pissed
Off sort of speak You know what I mean?
Itβ€²s kind of a alter ego type thing.
When you sees somebody on the road and
They cut You off and all the sudden BAM!
You starts screaming at em' Fuck You!
What tha fuck are you doin??
You know what I mean?
Starts honkin' at them, flippin them off.
Say fuck You thats Slim Shady

I just say that heβ€²s tryin' to find a new sound and Im proud to see
His progress,

Modest just be honest no need to hide it.
You really think he's legacy are tarnished with all tha pop-artistβ€²s
So revival around the countlesses Album title when
Your idol get down like he was Dido let tha mic go!
Eminem Speaking:
You know im not apologizing for it, You get offended and that's life

And that's a type o You and I know use
The right flowβ€²s thatβ€²s frighten white folk.
Now's heβ€²s like I am Mike and Micheal, retired,
Tired and tryna fight those inner demon's and its down with spiral!
WE LIKE EMINEM for being spiteful, WE LIKE Him for being suicidal.
If tha Rap-God canβ€²t walk on water,
Then I guess its time to put down the bible.
We aint tryna hear(leash .?
And??) where's Royce Da 5β€²9"?
While He aint fine co with join the (luke.???)

Steady got me pinkin to the high row chill Grizzy You be acting like
You aint never wrote a wack rhyme at high school,
Check the vitals and say goodbye yo cause since recovery he aint
