[Chorus]
For all the weed that I've smoked,✦ yo, this blunt's for you
To all the people I've offended,✦ yeah, fuck you too
To all the friends I used✦ to have, I miss my past
But the rest of you assholes✦ can kiss my ass
For all the drugs that I've done, yo, I'm still gon' do
To all the people I've offended,✦ yeah, fuck you too
For every✦ time I reminisce,✦ yo, I miss my past
But I still don't give a fuck, y'all can kiss my ass
[Verse 2]
I walked✦ into✦ a gunfight with a knife to kill you
And cut you so fast, when your blood spilled, it was still blue
I'll hang you 'til you dangle, and chain you with both ankles✦
And pull you apart from both angles✦
I wanna✦ crush your skull 'til your brains leak out of your veins
And bust open✦ like broken✦ water✦ mains
So tell Saddam✦ not to bother✦ with makin'✦ another bomb
'Cause I'm crushin' the whole world in my palm
Got your girl on my arm, and I'm armed✦ with a firearm
So big my entire✦ arm is a giant firebomb
Buy your mom a shirt with a Slim Shady✦ iron-on✦
And the pants to match ("Here, Momma,✦ try 'em on")
I get imaginative with a mouth full of adjectives✦
A brain full of adverbs, and a box full of laxatives✦
(Shittin' on rappers) Causing hospital accidents
God help me, before✦ I commit✦ some irresponsible acts again✦
[Chorus]
For all the weed that I've smoked,✦ yo, this blunt's for you
To all the people I've offended,✦ yeah, fuck you too
For all the friends I used✦ to have, I miss my past
But the rest of you assholes✦ can kiss my ass
For all the drugs that I've done, yo, I'm still gon' do
To all the people I've offended,✦ yeah, fuck you too
For every✦ time I reminisce,✦ yo, I miss my past
But I still don't give a fuck, y'all can kiss my ass
[Verse 3]
I wanted✦ an album so rugged✦ nobody✦ could touch it
Spent a million a track and went over✦ my budget✦ (Oh shit)
Now, how in the fuck am I supposed to get out of debt?
I can't rap anymore, I just murdered the alphabet
Drug sickness got me doin' some bugged✦ twitches✦
I'm withdrawin' from crack so bad my blood itches✦
I don't rap to get the women,✦ fuck bitches✦
Give me a fat slut that cooks and does dishes✦
Never✦ ran with a clique, I'm a posse
Kamikaze, strappin' a motherfuckin' bomb across✦ me
From the second I was born, my momma✦ lost me
I'm a cross between Manson,✦ Esham✦ and Ozzy✦
I don't know why the fuck I'm here in the first place
My worst day on this Earth was my first birthday
Retarded? What did that nurse say?
Brain damage?✦ Fuck, I was born durin'✦ an earthquake
[Chorus]
For all the weed that I've smoked,✦ yo, this blunt's for you
To all the people I've offended,✦ yeah, fuck you too
To all the friends I used✦ to have, yo, I miss my past
But the rest of you assholes✦ can kiss my ass
For all the drugs that I've done, yo, I'm still gon' do
To all the people I've offended,✦ yeah, fuck you too
For every✦ time I reminisce,✦ I miss my past
But I still don't give a fuck, y'all can kiss my ass

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

Eminem utilizes a hyper-violent, cartoonish aesthetic paired with rigid rhythmic density to create a visceral, cohesive character study that defined the late 90s horrorcore-rap subgenre.

Rhyme Architecture: Predominantly AABB / AAAA structures featuring extreme polysyllabic density; heavy use of internal rhyme pairs (kill you/still blue, dangle/ankles/angles) that create a cascading rhythmic effect.
Verified Doubles & Entendres

"when your blood spilled, it was still blue"

① The victim was cut so fast the blood had not yet oxygenated (remained venous/blue).② A play on 'blue blood' status or shock-induced coldness, emphasizing the speed of the act.

"I'm armed with a firearm / So big my entire arm is a giant firebomb"

① Literal armament with a gun.② A play on 'fire-arm', phonetically linking the physical appendage (arm) to an incendiary weapon (firebomb).

"a mouth full of adjectives / A brain full of adverbs, and a box full of laxatives"

① Describing his technical prowess and lyrical volume.② Suggesting that his music or presence is literally 'shitty' or physically repulsive to the listener, continuing the scatological humor pervasive in his 1999 persona.

Exceptional rhythmic consistency that locks the listener into the flow

Pacing variation through extreme multisyllabic stringing

Vocal intensity matches the lyrical aggression

Effective use of internal rhymes as rhythmic pivots

Occasional reliance on gratuitous shock value over depth

Vocabulary is intentionally simplified for comedic delivery rather than complex wordplay

Lacks the emotional nuance found in later career writing
