[Verse 2: Eminem]
Get up, baby,✦ get a move on like a U-Haul, you can rack your brain
Like pool balls; you won't ever✦ think of this shit, yeah, honey,✦ you called?✦
Well, here I come, Havoc on the beat, I wreak it; Evil,✦ I see
Hear, and speak it, Lady,✦ put your money✦ on Shady,✦ fuck that other✦ weak shit
Put your eggs in the same basket,✦ you can count every✦ motherfuckin'✦
Chicken 'fore it hatches 'cause you can bet your ass that we gonna✦ get it crackin'
Like the Kraken✦ and Titans when they're clashin', get your brains bashed✦ in
So bad, you will have Kurt Cobain✦ askin'✦ to autograph a bloodstained napkin✦
Unfashionable,✦ and 'bout as rational as a rash on a fag's asshole✦
Now let's take that line, run it up the flagpole✦
With Elton, see if he's cool with it, don't stand there and look stupid✦
At me, bitch, I ain't in the mood for this shit, get my dick, Google it
'Til it pops up, y'all are so motherfuckin'✦ full of shit that you're stocked up
Me, I'm always✦ shittin' diarrhea of the mouth 'til your speakers crap out, huh, what?
Girl, you got a hot butt like a lit cigarette (Chig-chigga-ret-ret)
But you won't get a hot fudge sundae from me so do not strut
My way, slut, because—
[Chorus: Eminem & Lesley Gore]
You don't own me
Now here we go, go, go
[Verse 3: Eminem]
And now that I got your panties in a bunch and your bowels in an uproar✦
I'ma✦ show you why I came, so you stop askin'✦ me, "What the fuck for?"
Now look you little slut, cunt, whore, I know you want more
Bitch, it's time to put the math back into✦ Mathers 'cause I'm a fuckin'✦ problem—run, boy
Every✦ flow, got it mastered so every✦ last word that you fuckin'✦ fags heard
Comes✦ straight from the fish's ass, yeah, in other✦ words, I'm a bass-turd
Lookin'✦ at me like I killed✦ Kenny,✦ gas in the tank, yeah, still plenty✦
No morals are instilled in me, so remorse, I really✦ don't feel any✦
Eat your heart out, Hannibal,✦ understandable✦ why you're jealous
Fuck an animal, I got cannibal✦ magnetism, can't resist him now—can✦ you, hoe?
“Shady,✦ I don't understand✦ your flow” — Understand✦ my flow? Bitch, I flow
Like Troy Polamalu's hair, boy, don't you dare try to follow✦ or compare,✦ boy
I'm raw, you ain't even✦ medium-rare,✦ stay the fuck outta✦ my hair, boy
You can look, you can stare, and point, but you can't touch, I'm too clairvoyant
I don't get it, man, is there a void? All this weak shit, what am I, steroids?✦
Well, bitch, I'm back with some shit for that ass and your trunk, elephant hemorrhoids✦
And remember, boys—
[Chorus: Eminem & Lesley Gore]
You don't own me
Now here we go, go, go
[Outro: Eminem]
Thank you for coming out
I hope you enjoyed the show
'Til next time (Ha-ha)✦
Peace (Peace, peace)

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™
Eminem utilizes aggressive, high-density multisyllabic rhyming combined with confrontational, shock-value lyricism that prioritizes phonetic momentum over thematic cohesion.

Verified Doubles & Entendres
"rack your brain like pool balls"
① Physical act of organizing billiard balls in a rack② Metaphorical act of straining one's mind to think deeply
"put your eggs in the same basket... 'fore it hatches"
① The classic idiom about risk management and confidence② A literal subversion of the phrase where the act of 'getting it crackin' (the eggs) is literalized through aggressive violence
"diarrhea of the mouth"
① A common idiom meaning to talk excessively or uncontrollably② A crude, biological metaphor paired with the literal sound of speakers 'crapping out' to reinforce the scatological imagery
Exceptional technical mastery of rhyme density
Commanding vocal delivery and rhythmic variety
Effective use of multis to create forward momentum
Reliance on shock value and dated, offensive tropes
Lack of thematic depth in favor of aggressive posturing
Occasional disjointedness between rhyme chains
