[Chorus]

Cum on everybody^✦ (Get down tonight)^✦

[Verse 2]

Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo

I tried suicide once and I'll try it again^✦

That's why I write songs where I die at the end

'Cause I don't give a fuck like my middle finger^✦ was stuck

And I was wavin'^✦ it at everybody,^✦ screamin', "I suck" (I suck)

I go on stage in front of a sell-out crowd

And yell out loud, "All y'all get the hell out now"

Fuck rap, I'm givin'^✦ it up, y'all, I'm sorry^✦

(But Eminem, this is your record^✦ release party)^✦

I'm bored^✦ out of my gourd, so I took a hammer^✦

And nailed^✦ my foot to the floorboard of my Ford

Guess I'm just a sick, sick bastard

Who's one sandwich short of a picnic basket^✦ (I ain't got it all)

One Excedrin tablet^✦ short of a full medicine cabinet

I feel like my head has been shredded like lettuce and cabbage (Oh)

And if you ever^✦ see a video for this shit

I'll probably be dressed up like a mummy^✦ with my wrists slit

[Chorus]

Cum on everybody^✦ (Get down tonight)^✦

[Verse 3]

Got bitches on my jock out in East Detroit

'Cause they think that I'm a motherfuckin' Beastie Boy

So I told 'em I was Mike D

They was like, "Gee, I don't know, he might be"

I told 'em, "Meet me at Kid Rock's next concert" (Oh really?)^✦

I'll be standin' by the Loch Ness Monster" (Okay)^✦

Peace out (Bye)

Then I jetted^✦ to the weed house, smoked^✦ out

'Til I started bustin'^✦ freestyles, broke out

Then I dipped^✦ quick back to the crib, put on lipstick^✦

Crushed up the Tylenol and ate it with a dipstick^✦

Made a couple of crank calls collect (Brrrt)

"It's Ken Kaniff from Connecticut, can you accept?"

I want to make songs all the fellas dub

And murder^✦ every^✦ rich rapper^✦ that I'm jealous of

So just remember, when I bomb your set

Yo, I only^✦ cuss to make your mom upset^✦

[Chorus]

Cum on everybody^✦ (Get down tonight)^✦

Critic Analysis

RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

Eminem utilizes dark, self-deprecating hyperbolic humor to subvert the persona of the mainstream rap star, relying on high-density multisyllabic rhyming to drive the chaotic energy of the record release theme.

Hyperbolic self-deprecationInternal multisyllabic chainingAuditory juxtapositionCharacter-driven narrative

Rhyme Architecture: Dense internal rhyme patterns utilizing multi-syllabic clusters (e.g., 'hammer'/'glamour'/'stammer'/'hammer' equivalents) paired with aggressive AABB couplets that resolve frequently to maintain momentum.

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"one sandwich short of a picnic basket"

① A common idiom for being mentally unstable or 'not all there'.② A literal imagery of a disorganized, incomplete state which complements the surrounding 'sick bastard' narrative.

"one Excedrin tablet short of a full medicine cabinet"

① Extending the previous metaphor of mental instability to include pharmaceutical dependence.② A play on the 'picnic' imagery that reinforces his status as a volatile, medicated, and erratic individual.

High-energy delivery that effectively sells the 'bored and unhinged' persona

Consistent, aggressive rhyme density typical of the Slim Shady era

Effective use of dark humor as a structural device

The rhyme schemes are occasionally subservient to the joke rather than the narrative arc

Limited thematic depth beyond the established shock-value persona

The simplicity of the chorus acts as a narrative anchor that prevents the verse from reaching more complex heights
