Paul D. Rosenberg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Listen,
Joel just called me
And he said you're in the fuckin' back behind his studio,
Shooting your gun off in the air like it's a shooting range.
I told you not to fuckin' bring your gun around,
Like an idiot, outside of your home.
You're gonna get yourself on trouble.
You can't carry it on you.
Leave your fuckin' gun at home.
These lyrics are a voicemail left by Paul D. Rosenberg, Eminem's longtime friend and business partner. It appears that Em has been causing trouble by shooting off his gun behind a recording studio, prompting Paul to call him and give him a stern warning. Paul is clearly worried that Em's actions could lead to legal trouble, hence why he instructs him to leave the gun at home and not bring it outside his house. The tone of the voicemail is serious and concerned, suggesting that Paul truly cares about Em's well-being and doesn't want him to do anything that could harm himself or others. Overall, the lyrics reflect the tension that can arise in friendships when one person behaves recklessly or irresponsibly.
