[Chorus: Eminem, Lil Wayne, Eminem & Lil Wayne, & Haddaway]
It's a little too late to say that you're sorry✦ now (Yeah)
You kicked✦ me when I was down
But what you say just don't (Don't hurt me)
That's right, it don't (Don't hurt me)
And I don't need you (No more)
Don't wanna✦ see you (No more)
Ha, bitch, you get no (Love)
You showed✦ me nothing✦ but hate (Haha)✦
You ran me into✦ the ground
But what comes✦ around✦ goes around✦ (Yeah)
And I don't need you don't (Don't hurt me)
That's right, you don't (Don't hurt me)
And I don't need you (No more)
Don't wanna✦ see you
Ha, bitch, you get no (Love)
No (No love), no (No love), no (No love)

[Verse 2: Eminem, Lil Wayne, & Eminem & Lil Wayne]
I'm alive✦ again✦
More alive✦ than I have been in my whole entire✦ life, I can (Yeah)
See these people's ears perk up as I begin✦
To spaz with the pen
Uh, I'm a little bit sicker✦ than most
Shit's finna✦ get thick again✦
They say the competition✦ is stiff
But I get a hard dick from this shit, now stick it in
I ain't never✦ giving in again✦ (Yeah)
Caution✦ to the wind, complete freedom
Look at these rappers, how I treat 'em
So why the fuck would I join 'em when I beat 'em? (Yeah)
They call me a freak, 'cause
I like to spit on these pussies 'fore I eat 'em (Haha)✦
Man, get these wack cocksuckers off stage
Where the fuck is Kanye when you need him? (Oh)
Snatch the mic from 'em, bitch, I'ma✦ let you finish in a minute✦
Yeah, that rap was tight, but I'm (Yeah)
'Bout to spit the greatest verse of all time
So you might want to go back to the lab tonight✦ and, um (Yeah)
Scribble out them rhymes✦ you were gonna✦ spit
And start over✦ from scratch and write new ones✦
But I'm afraid that it ain't gonna✦ make no difference
When I rip this stage and tear it in half tonight✦
It's an adrenaline rush to feel the bass thump
From the place all the way to the parking lot, fellow✦
Set fire to the mic and ignite✦ the crowd (Yeah)
You can see the sparks from hot metal (Yeah)
Cold-hearted,✦ from the day I Bogarted✦
The game, my soul started✦ to rot, fellow✦ (Yeah)
When I'm not even✦ in my harshest
You can still get roasted, 'cause Marsh is not mellow✦
'Til I'm topplin' from the top, I'm not gonna✦ stop
I'm standin' on my Monopoly board (Uh)
That means I'm on top of my game
And it don't stop 'til my hip don't hop anymore✦ (Shit)
When you're so good that you can't say it
'Cause it ain't even✦ cool for you to sound cocky✦ anymore✦ (Shit)
People just get sick 'cause you spit
These fools can't drool or dribble a drop anymore✦ (Ow)
And you can never✦ break my stride (Nope)
You'll never✦ slow the momentum at any✦ moment, I'm 'bout to blow
You'll never✦ take my pride
Killin'✦ the flow, slow venom and the opponent is gettin'✦ no
Mercy,✦ mark my words
Ain't lettin'✦ up, relentless, I smell blood
I don't give a fuck, keep givin'✦ them hell
Where was you when I fell and needed✦ help up?
You get no love
[Chorus: Eminem, Lil Wayne, Eminem & Lil Wayne, & Haddaway]
It's a little too late to say that you're sorry✦ now (Uh)
You kicked✦ me when I was down
But what you say just don't (Don't hurt me)
Yeah, that's right, it don't (Don't hurt me)
And I don't need you (No more)
Don't wanna✦ see you (No more)
Ha, bitch, you get no (Love)
You showed✦ me nothing✦ but hate (Yeah)
You ran me into✦ the ground
But what comes✦ around✦ goes around✦
And I don't need you (Don't hurt me)
That's right, you don't (Don't hurt me)
And I don't need you (No more)
Don't wanna✦ see you
Ha, bitch, you get no (Love)
No (No love), no (No love), no (No love)
Ha, bitch, you get no (Love)
No (No love), no (No love)
And I don't need you (No more)
Ha, bitch, you get no (Love)

Vowel manipulationStaccato rhythmInternal rhyme stackingDynamic cadence shift

Verified Doubles & Entendres
"I'm alive again / More alive than I have been in my whole entire life, I can"
① A literal statement regarding his physical and creative re-emergence after a period of struggle or addiction.② A rhythmic demonstration where the word 'can' functions as a pivot to a new rhyme scheme while phonetically mirroring the preceding 'in' sounds to maintain momentum.
Exceptional rhythmic precision
High-intensity delivery
Strong emotional resonance
Effective use of vowel repetition to create urgency
Relies heavily on energetic delivery rather than complex metaphor
Short sample size limits potential for broader narrative development
