[Chorus: Alicia Keys & Eminem]

And here's^✦ to where it all began,^✦ all began^✦ (Stand up)

Here's^✦ to the land that made me

And made me who I am, who I am (Hands up)

Here's^✦ to the land that raised^✦ me

This one for the only^✦ place that really^✦ knows me

For the cracks in the road that drove me

There's^✦ no place like home

[Verse 2: Eminem]

Didn't wanna^✦ piss your base off, did ya?

Can't denounce the Klan, 'cause they play golf with ya

You stay on Twitter, way to get your hate off

Nazi, I do not see a way y'all differ^✦

And all you got are race cards, bigot^✦

The swastika with your name carved^✦ in it

Should be your trademark, 'cause hate's^✦ all you played off

And you just lick the plate off

So I guess it pays to feed off of chaos

So basically,^✦ you ate off Hitler!^✦

But you ain't ruinin'^✦ our country, punk

Or takin'^✦ our pride from us, you won't define^✦ us

'Cause like a dictionary, things are lookin'^✦ up

So much, got a sprained neck, know we would rise up

Against this train wreck and take a stand

Even^✦ if it means sittin'^✦ when they raise the flag

To sing "The Star-Spangled Banner"^✦

This man just praised a statue of General Lee

'Cause he generally^✦ hates^✦ the black people, degrades hispanics

Take it back to the Shady^✦ national convention

Wish I woulda^✦ spit on it before^✦ I went to shake his hand

At the event^✦ or maybe had the wherewithal

To know that he was gonna^✦ try to tear apart^✦

Our sacred^✦ land we cherish and stand for

So, hands in the air, let's hear it for

The start of a brand new America

Without him and be proud of where we're from

And here's^✦ to where it all—

[Chorus: Alicia Keys & Eminem]

And here's^✦ to where it all began,^✦ all began^✦ (Stand up)

Here's^✦ to the land that made me

And made me who I am, who I am (Hands up)

Here's^✦ to the land that raised^✦ me

This one for the only^✦ place that really^✦ knows me

For the cracks in the road that drove me

There's^✦ no place like home

[Bridge: Alicia Keys, Alicia Keys & Eminem]

I won't give up

I won't give up on my home, that so many^✦ died for

You already^✦ know that I won't give up

I won't give up on my home, that so many^✦ died for

You already^✦ know

There's^✦ no place like home, no place like home

Wherever^✦ I go, no place like home

No place like home, no place like home

Wherever^✦ I go (Yeah)

[Chorus: Alicia Keys & Eminem]

And here's^✦ to where it all began,^✦ all began^✦ (Stand up)

Here's^✦ to the land that made me

And made me who I am, who I am (Hands up)

Here's^✦ to the land that raised^✦ me

This one for the only^✦ place that really^✦ knows me

For the cracks in the road that drove me

There's^✦ no place like home

Delivery

AABB-adjacent rhyme mappingphonetic wordplay (Nazi/Not see)semantic reversalforced multi-syllabic patterns

Rhyme Architecture: Predominantly end-rhyme heavy with dense internal assonance connecting 'base off', 'hate off', 'plate off', and 'ate off', creating a rhythmic loop that facilitates the aggressive delivery.

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"Nazi, I do not see a way y'all differ"

① A direct comparison equating the subject's behavior to that of a Nazi.② A phonetic pun where 'Nazi' sounds like 'not see', emphasizing his inability to see differences between the subjects.

"like a dictionary, things are lookin' up"

① Things are improving or progressing toward a better future.② A literal reference to the physical act of looking up a word in a dictionary.

High level of phonetic consistency

Effective use of multi-syllabic chains to drive the tempo

Strong emotional conviction in delivery

Occasional reliance on direct insults over subtle lyricism

Some internal rhymes feel forced to maintain the specific phonetic string

Pacing can become relentless, sacrificing room for dynamic shifts
