Collapse
Project К.О.Ф.Т.А. Lyrics

'Cause sometimes you just feel tired, you feel weak
There are times when you feel exhausted, vulnerable and powerless

And when you feel weak you feel like you want to just give up
When you feel weak, you often feel like quitting and giving up

But you gotta search within you, you gotta find that inner strength
Despite feeling weak, one has to search for inner strength within themselves

And just pull that shit out of you and get that motivation to not give up
One should dig deep within and motivate themselves to overcome their weakness and avoid giving up

And not be a quitter, no matter how bad you want to just fall flat on your face and collapse
It's important to avoid quitting even if you feel like you're about to fail and collapse

'Til I collapse I'm spilling these raps long as you feel 'em
I will continue to rap until I collapse, as long as people can relate to my music

'Til the day that I drop you'll never say that I'm not killing 'em
I will never stop making good music until the day that I die

'Cause when I am not then I'm a stop pinning them
If I stop making good music, I will stop writing lyrics

And I am not hip-hop and I'm just not Eminem
If I stop making good hip-hop music, then I'm not Eminem anymore

Subliminal thoughts when I'm stop sending them
Thoughts are still present even when they are not being expressed directly

Women are caught in webs spin and hock venom
Women are often entangled in traps and can be toxic when they are hurt

Adrenaline shots of penicillin could not get the illin' to stop
Even strong medications cannot heal severe sicknesses

Amoxicillin is just not real enough
In some cases, even medication cannot address an illness entirely

The criminal cop killing hip-hop filling a
Hip-hop music is often considered controversial and can lead to violence

Minimal swap to cop millions of Pac listeners
The music industry may profit from controversial music and violent content

You're coming with me, feel it or not
It's up to the listener whether they choose to follow Eminem's music or not

You're gonna fear it like I showed you the spirit of god lives in us
Eminem's music may invoke fear, but he believes God is with him and his listeners

You hear it a lot, lyrics that shock, is it a miracle
Eminem's controversial lyrics are often surprising, leading people to wonder whether it's a miracle or not

Or am I just a product of pop fizzing up
Eminem questions whether his success is just due to the popularity of pop culture

For shizzle my whizzle this is the plot listen up
This is the plan, pay close attention

You Bizzles forgot Slizzle does not give a fuck
People underestimate Eminem, aka Slim Shady, but he does not care what they think

'Til the roof comes off, till the lights go out
Eminem will keep rapping with an explosive energy until the end

'Til my legs give out, can't shut my mouth.
Eminem won't stop rapping until he is physically unable to, confirming his passion for music

'Til the smoke clears out and my high perhaps
Eminem will keep doing what he loves until he can't anymore

I'm a rip this shit till my bone collapse.
Eminem is going to continue making music until his final breath

Music is like magic there's a certain feeling you get
Music has an almost magical feeling that surrounds it

When you're real and you spit and people are feeling your shit
When your music is genuine, and people can relate to it, it's special

This is your moment and every single minute you spittin'
This is your time to shine, so make the most of every moment you have

Trying to hold onto it 'cause you may never get it again
Hold onto this moment because it may never come again

So while you're in it try to get as much shit as you can
Make the most of this time and get as much done as possible

And when your run is over just admit when it's at its end
When your time to shine is over, admit it and move on to new opportunities

'Cause I'm at the end of my wits with half the shit that gets in
I'm tired of dealing with half of the obstacles that get in my way

I got a list, here's the order of my list that it's in;
I have a list of my favorite rappers in order from best to worst

It goes, Reggie, Jay-Z, Tupac and Biggie
My favorite rappers are in the order of Reggie, Jay-Z, Tupac, and Biggie Smalls

Andre from Outkast, Jada, Kurupt, Nas and then me
Other great rappers, Andre from Outkast, Jada, Kurupt, Nas, and then Eminem

But in this industry I'm the cause of a lot of envy
Many people in the industry are envious of my success

So when I'm not put on this list the shit does not offend me
It doesn't bother me if I'm not included in this list

That's why you see me walk around like nothing's bothering me
I remain unaffected by negativity and confident in my abilities

Even though half you people got a fuckin' problem with me
Despite half the people hating me, I continue to do what I love

You hate it but you know respect you've got to give me
Even if you don't like my music, you have to respect my talent

The press's wet dream like Bobby and Whitney, Nate hit me
The press loves controversial stories, similar to Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston's relationship, and Dr. Dre's friend Nate Dogg

Soon as a verse starts I eat at an MC's heart
I immediately start lyrically attacking other rappers

What is he thinking? Enough to not go against me, smart
Other rappers know better than to go against me because of my lyricism and talent

And its absurd how people hang on every word
It's ridiculous how people are so devoted to what I say

I'll probably never get the props I feel I ever deserve
I may never get the recognition that I think I deserve

But I'll never be served my spot is forever reserved
I will always hold my place in the rap industry, and no one can take it from me

If I ever leave earth that would be the death of me first
I would rather die than give up making music

'Cause in my heart of hearts I know nothing could ever be worse
Making music is my passion, and nothing could be worse than losing it

That's why I'm clever when I put together every verse
I am clever and thoughtful when I write each of my lyrics

My thoughts are sporadic, I act like I'm an addict
My thoughts are all over the place, and I often act like an addict when writing lyrics

I rap like I'm addicted to smack like I'm Kim Mathers
I sometimes rap like I'm addicted to drugs, just like my ex-wife Kim Mathers

But I don't want to go forth and back in constant battles
I don't want to waste my time and energy on ongoing conflicts with other rappers

The fact is I would rather sit back and bomb some rappers'
Honestly, I'd rather sit back and roast other rappers than get into a physical altercation

So this is like a full blown attack I'm launching at 'em
This is an all-out verbal assault on other rappers in the industry

The track is on some battling raps who want some static
This is a rap battle, and anyone who wants to challenge me will face the consequences

'Cause I don't really think that the fact that I'm Slim matters
Being Slim Shady doesn't impact my talent, and I will still dominate the rap world regardless

A plaque of platinum status is whack if I'm not the baddest
Having a platinum record is worthless if I'm not the best rapper in the game

Until the roof (Until the roof)
I will keep rapping until the roof

The roof comes off (The roof comes off)
Eventually, I will reach my peak and the hype around me will diminish

Until my legs (Until my legs)
I will stand my ground no matter how tired I get

Give out from underneath me (Underneath me, I)
I will continue rapping until I physically cannot anymore

I will not fall
I will not give up or fail

I will stand tall
I will stand my ground without quitting or giving up

Feels like no one can beat me
I feel unbeatable and unstoppable when I'm rapping
