Yes, man!
As the world turnsWe all experience things in life
Trials and tribulations, that we all must go through
When someone wants to test usWhen someone tries our patience
I hang with a bunch of hippies and wacky tobacco planters
Who swallow lit roaches and light up like jack-o-lanternsOutsidaz baby, and we suin’ the courts
Cause we dope as fuck and only get a 2 in The Source, yoThey never shoulda booted me outta reform schoolDeformed fool, taking a shit in a warm poolTill they threw me out the Ramada InnI said it wasn’t me, I got a twin“Oh my God, it’s you! Not again!”It all started when my mother took my bike away‘Cause I murdered my guinea pig and stuck him in the microwaveAfter that, it was straight to the 40 ouncersSlappin’ teachers and jackin’ off in front of my counselorsClass clown freshman, dressed like Les NessmanFuck the next lesson, I’ll pass the test guessin’And all the other kids said “Eminem is a thizz head”“He’ll never last, the only class he’ll ever pass is phys-ed”Maybe true, till I told this bitch in gym classThat she was too fat to swim laps she need a Slim Fast“Who? Me?”Yeah, bitch, you so big, you walked into Vic Tanny’s and stepped on Jenny CraigShe picked me up to snap me like a skinny twigPut me in a headlock, then I thought of my guinea pigI felt the evilness and started transformin’It began stormin’, I heard a bunch of cheerin’ fans swarmin’Grabbed that bitch by her hair, drug her across the groundAnd took her up to the highest diving board and tossed her downSorry coach, it’s too late to tell me stop
While I drop this bitch face down and watch her belly flop
These are the days of our lives
These are the things that we must go through, day by day
We drive around in million dollar sports carsWhile little kids hide this tape from their parents like bad report cardsOutsidaz, and we suing the courts
‘Cause we dope as fuck and only get a 2 in The SourceHypochondriac, hanging out at the laundromatWhere all the raunchy fat white trashy blondes be atDressed like a sailor, standin’ by a pail of garbageIt’s almost dark and I’m still tryna nail a trailer park bitchI met a slut and said “What up? It’s nice to meet ya”“I’d like to treat you to a Faygo and a slice of pizza”“But I’m broke as fuck and I don’t get paid till the first of next month”“But if you would care to join me, I was about to roll this next blunt”“But I ain’t got no weed, no Phillies, or no papers”“Plus I’m a rapist and a repeated prison escapist”“So give me all your money and don’t try nothing funny”“‘Cause you know your stinking ass is too fat to try to outrun me”I went to grab my gun, that’s when her ass put it on meWith an uppercut and hit me with a basket of laundryI fell through the glass doors, started causing a sceneSlid across the floor and flew right into a washing machineJumped up with a broken backThank God I was smokin’ crack all day and doped up on coke and smackAll I wanted to do was rape the bitch and snatch her purseNow I wanna kill herBut yo, I gotta catch her firstRan through Rally’s parkin’ lot and took a shortcutSaw the house she ran up in and shot her fuckin’ porch upKicked the door down to murder this divorced slutLooked around the room that’s when I seen her bedroom door shutI know you’re in there bitch, I got my gun cockedYou might as well come out now, she said “Come in, it’s unlocked”I walked in and all I smelled was Liz ClaiborneAnd seen her spread across the bed naked watchin’ gay pornShe said “Come here big boy, let’s get acquainted”I turned around to run, twisted my ankle and sprained itShe came at me at full speed, nothing could stop herI shot her five times and every bullet bounced off herI started to beg “No, please let go”But she swallowed my fuckin’ leg whole like an egg rollWith one leg left, now I’m hoppin’ around crippledI grabbed my pocket knife and sliced off her right nippleJust tryna buy me some time then I remembered this magic trickDuh-dah-duh-dah-duh-duh!Go-go gadget dick!Whipped that shit out, and ain’t no doubt about itIt hit the ground and caused an earthquake and power outage
I shouted “Now bitch, let’s see who gets the best”Stuffed that shit in crooked and fucked that fat slut to death“Come here, bitch!”“Come here! Take this mothafuckin’ dick, bitch!”“Come here!”
And as we go along, throughout the days of our livesWe all face small obstacles and challenges everydayThat we must go throughThese are the things that surround us through our atmosphere, every dayEvery single day the world keeps turningKeeps turningKeeps turningKeeps turning
