[Chorus: Eminem & Kent Jones]
'Cause nobody✦ likes✦ me, everybody✦ hates✦ me
They want me to go eat some worms (I hope you offended)✦
And drag my name through the mud, through the dirt
But I'ma✦ make you eat your words (I hope you offended)✦
You can try to hold me down, but you better✦ let me up
'Cause you're only✦ gonna✦ make things worse (I hope you offended)✦
'Cause I swear when I get up, I'm never✦ gonna✦ let up
'Til everybody✦ eats my turds
[Verse 2: Eminem & Paul Rosenberg]
These drums and hard snares✦ bring out the worst in me
Like Justin✦ Ross Harris✦ at a nursery
Goin' ham at candy✦ yam
On nanny✦ cam, I'm gettin'✦ handies✦ with the zanny✦ Xannys
In the Caddy✦ armrest, I'm imaginin' objects
So I'm battin'✦ cobwebs from a daddy✦ longleg
In Hamtramck
Got the panoramic camera✦
Xanax, a banana✦ hammock and a Santa✦ hat
I'm smellin' like a damn mechanic
With a chick that looks like Janet✦ Jackson with a Spanish accent✦
Twice her age and I'm actin'✦ half it (Ha-ha)✦
Grow up?
Nah, not that I know of, y'all
Basement just got a frickin' overhaul
Got a stripper pole installed✦
Started rollin'✦ all through those Klonopins
Like a bowlin'✦ ball
Like an overdose on twice the ratio✦ of Propofol
And go through no withdrawal
While I get fellatio and give a facial to
An interracial blow-up doll of Rachel✦ Dolezal
You're so appalled✦ (Em…)
So's my manager
Bitch, I amateur, fuck a pro career✦
Coast is clear, but nowhere✦ to go from here
And nobody's✦ close so don't compare
They ain't nowhere✦ near, I'm way over✦ here
My competition can't see me—
'Cause I don't own a mirror!
But, Marshall, you are terrific
So smart and gifted✦
I'm so narcissistic, when I fart I sniff it
Do a fake dab to smell my armpits, whiff it
Your anxiety's throwin' gang signs
But I made strides with these rape lines✦
I'm cuttin'✦ back on women✦ hate crimes✦
Like Ray Rice when he FaceTimes✦
Bang, bang, bang, bang time
Dang knives're butcher than gay wives✦
You're gonna✦ need sutures the same size
As the blade I push into✦ caput'cha
When I pull 'em like (What?) sleigh rides✦
Gotta✦ stab a bitch at least eight times✦
To make it on Dateline
I came to stake my claim like a canine✦
Waitin'✦ in a buffet✦ line
So, Kellyanne Conway✦
I'm a really✦ bad hombre
Come play, belly✦ dance on me
I've been makin'✦ wedding plans all day
[Chorus: Eminem & Kent Jones]
'Cause nobody✦ likes✦ me, everybody✦ hates✦ me
They want me to go eat some worms (I hope you offended)✦
And drag my name through the mud, through the dirt
But I'ma✦ make you eat your words (I hope you offended)✦
You can try to hold me down, but you better✦ let me up
'Cause you're only✦ gonna✦ make things worse (I hope you offended)✦
'Cause I swear when I get up, I'm never✦ gonna✦ let up
'Til everybody✦ eats my turds
[Verse 3: Eminem]
Eight-year-old with the wordplay✦
Girl, take this pole like a survey✦
Today✦ wasn't my birthday✦
But I'm caked✦ up like a dessert tray
So we're in shape
'Cause you're in a slurrin' state
I’m a 10, you’re an eight (Urinate)
Like what I do before,✦ after,✦ and durin'✦ rape!
You wanna✦ get into✦ a pissin'✦ contest
And find out who's better?✦
And be made a fool out of when I pull on 'em?
R. Kelly✦ with a full bladder✦ (R. Kelly✦ with a full bladder)✦
Non-high school grad, I'm not a scholar
But I'm so cold when I'm droppin'✦ knowledge
My degrees is the same as I got in college (Zero)✦
But nobody's✦ hotter,✦ you owe me my respect
I owe you nada✦ like Haloti, partner
Blow me, told you I'm so dirty,✦ homie, you can throw me
In some holy✦ water,✦ with some floaties✦ on
And get the soap and try to get the Pope to hold me
While you hose me off and, nope, I won't be washed✦
You hope to God I don't explode
I gotta✦ blow this spot up though, I got a lotta✦ mo'
I won't put the sugar✦ coating on it though
'Cause sometimes✦ you can feel like your energy's expired
Rap's got you drained
Dead tired,✦ zapped✦
You feel like a wet pile of crap
But look, man, like the feds buggin'✦ my phone (Uh-huh)
I get why you're tapped✦
"But you gotta✦ get your fire back
Catch fire, get upset✦ and fire back!"
Is what I tell myself✦
When times✦ get bad
'Cause sometimes✦ I might get sad
But I take the same advice✦ I had
And tell myself✦ like I used✦ to tell Hailie
When life's✦ a drag
Told her to do like her dad:
Don't cry, get mad!
'Cause little baby✦ powders
Belong in diaper✦ bags
I'm hyper,✦ by the time you see this side of me
I'm right in your ass (Sodomy!)✦
Foot up it, I stood up for the kid
Who had to put up with the bullies✦ at his school (At his school)
You ain't had to have no money✦
Or go shoppin'✦ just to cop a fuckin'✦ attitude✦ (Attitude)✦
Now my dough's amountin' to a mountain
That's rised✦ too high to count it
Never✦ asked✦ to be rich, all I did was wish
I had a dime for every✦ time that I was doubted
But then I think about✦ it, then I'm enraged
'Cause I just figured out that if I was paid
For the time I spent to put the pen to the page
It'd be minimum✦ wage (Minimum✦ wage)
But it's embedded in my head I never✦ hunted✦ for the bread and butter✦
What I wanted✦ was to be the one that they was scared✦ of but
I'm never✦ gonna✦ get the credit for the sweat and blood
I put up in the pen, and when I'm dead I wonder✦
Will they put me on a pedestal or forget✦ I was ever✦ this incredible?
I guess I better✦ go harder✦ than ever✦ 'cause
I'll never✦ get another motherfuckin' opportunity again✦
To offend as many✦ people with this, I can simply✦ because I can
[Chorus: Eminem & Kent Jones]
'Cause nobody✦ likes✦ me, everybody✦ hates✦ me
They want me to go eat some worms (I hope you offended)✦
And drag my name through the mud, through the dirt
But I'ma✦ make you eat your words (I hope you offended)✦
You can try to hold me down, but you better✦ let me up
'Cause you're only✦ gonna✦ make things worse (I hope you offended)✦
'Cause I swear when I get up, I'm never✦ gonna✦ let up
'Til everybody✦ eats my turds

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™
Eminem utilizes high-velocity internal rhyme clusters and forced-consonance chains to prioritize percussive flow over narrative coherence, effectively demonstrating his technical dominance while maintaining a chaotic, aggressive persona.

Rhyme Architecture: The verse employs a relentless 'a-a-a-a' rhyme scheme based on the 'an/am' phonetic sound, creating a rapid-fire, singular-vowel-driven cadence that maintains momentum through sheer density of articulation.
Verified Doubles & Entendres
"battin' cobwebs from a daddy longleg"
① The literal act of clearing spiderwebs away from a spider.② A sexualized, erratic image continuing the 'gross-out' aesthetic of the verse's chaotic flow.
"Grow up? Nah, not that I know of"
① A direct refusal to mature as an adult.② A meta-commentary on his career-long persona of maintaining a juvenile, transgressive stance despite his age.
Extraordinary command of internal rhyme density
Rhythmic dexterity and breath control
Use of multi-syllabic strings to maintain momentum
Effective implementation of phonetic chain-linking
Narrative fragmentation due to rhyme-first construction
Dependency on shock-value imagery over complex subtext
Occasional loss of coherence in favor of rapid-fire delivery
