[Verse 2]

Think I just relapsed, this bitch pushed^✦ me over^✦ the brink

Hop on the freeway tryna^✦ get some time alone^✦ and just think

'Til the cops pulled^✦ me over,^✦ but they let me go, 'cause I told 'em

I'm only^✦ drivin'^✦ drunk 'cause that bitch drove me to drink

I'm back on my fuck hoes, with a whole new hatred^✦ for blondes

But bias? I hate all bitches^✦ the same, baby,^✦ come on

Excuse^✦ the pun, but bitch is such a broad statement, and I'm

Channelin' my anger^✦ through every^✦ single station that's on

'Cause a woman broke my he-art, I say, "he-art"

'Cause she ripped^✦ it in two pa-arts and threw it in the garbage

Who do you think you a-are? Bitch, guess it's time for me to get the dust off

And pick myself up off the carpet^✦

But I'll never^✦ say the L-word again^✦

I lo-lo-lo-lo… lesbian! Ah!

I hope you hear this song and go into^✦ a cardiac^✦ arrest^✦

My life'd^✦ be so much better^✦ if you just—

[Chorus]

My life would be so much better^✦

If you just dropped^✦ dead

I was layin' in bed last night, thinkin'^✦

And then this thought just popped^✦ in my head

And I thought, wouldn't shit just be a lot easier^✦

If you dropped^✦ dead?

I would feel so much, much better^✦

[Bridge]

'Cause you told me

You'd love me

Forever

Bitch, that was a lie

Now I never^✦

Wanted^✦ someone to die

So bad in my fuckin'^✦ life

But fuck it, there’s^✦ other^✦ fish in the sea

[Verse 3]

And I'ma^✦ have a whale of a time

Bein' a single sailor for the night, bitch, on a scale of

One to ten, shit, I must be the Holy^✦ Grail of

Catches, ho, I got an Oscar^✦ attached^✦ to my fuckin'^✦ name (De La)

I might hit the club, find a chick that's tailor-made

For me, say fuck it, kick some shots back, get hammered, and nail her

These bitches^✦ tryin' to get attached,^✦ but they're failin'^✦ to latch onto^✦ the tail of

My bumper,^✦ they're scratchin' at the back of my trailer

Like I'm itchin'^✦ to get hitched, yeah, I'm rich as a bitch

But bitches^✦ ain't shit, I'd rather^✦ leave a bitch in a ditch

Bitch, you complain when you listen^✦ to this

But you still throw yourself at me: that's what I call pitchin' a bitch

That's why I'm swingin' at this chicks on-site^✦

Long as I got a bat and two balls it's foul, but my dick's on strike

So all that love shit is null and void, bitch, I'm a droid

I avoid^✦ Cupid,^✦ stupid!^✦ Wasn't for blow jobs, you'd be unemployed

Oye-yoy-yoy, man-oh-man, your boy-boy-boys

Gettin'^✦ sick of these girls-girls-girls, oink-oink-oink^✦

You fuckin'^✦ pigs, all you're good for is doink-doink-doink^✦

I got 99 problems and a bitch ain't one

She's all 99 of 'em, I need a machine gun

I'll take 'em all out, I hope you hear this song

And go into^✦ a cardiac^✦ arrest,^✦ have a heart attack^✦ and just

Drop dead, and I'ma^✦ throw a fuckin'^✦ party^✦ after^✦ this, 'cause yes

[Chorus]

My life would be so much better^✦

If you just dropped^✦ dead (I hate you)

I was layin' in bed last night, thinkin'^✦

And then this thought just popped^✦ in my head (You made me like this way)

And I thought, wouldn't shit just be a lot easier^✦

If you dropped^✦ dead? (Bitch)

I would feel so much, much better^✦

[Outro]

I'm just playin', bitch

You know I love you

Critic Analysis

RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

The verse demonstrates Eminem's classic 'Relapse' era transition, balancing technical multisyllabic rhyming with high-intensity, character-driven delivery that compensates for the narrative's inherent toxicity.

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"bitch is such a broad statement"

① A generalization or sweeping claim about women.② A wordplay on 'broad' as a derogatory slang term for a woman, reinforcing the insult while acknowledging the linguistic pun.

"I'll never say the L-word again / I lo-lo-lo-lo… lesbian!"

① The expectation of the word 'love' (the L-word) as a term of affection.② A subversive bait-and-switch where the phonetic sound of 'love' morphs into 'lesbian', highlighting the narrator's chaotic, non-romantic mental state.

"drove me to drink"

① The behavioral result of being pushed to the point of intoxication.② The literal action of the subject 'driving' the car, connecting the vehicular context with the emotional justification for his sobriety relapse.

High-energy, aggressive vocal delivery

Effective use of comedic timing in the build-up to the punchline

Technical mastery of multisyllabic rhyme schemes

Strong character performance that emphasizes the manic tone of the song

Some linguistic choices feel contrived to force rhyme schemes

Thematic reliance on repetitive tropes common in the artist's discography

The pun-heavy approach occasionally compromises the narrative tension
