[Chorus: Justin Vernon & Eminem]
Don't fall on my face (Yeah)
Don't fall on my faith, oh
Don't fall on my fate (Line 'em up)
Don't fall on my faith, oh (Rrr)
Don't fall on my fate (Ha)
[Verse 2: Eminem]
Somebody✦ tell Budden✦ before✦ I snap, he better✦ fasten✦ it or have his body✦ bag get zipped✦
The closest thing he's had to hits is smackin'✦ bitches (Pump it up)
And don't make me have to give it back to Akademiks
Say this shit is trash again,✦ I'll have you twisted
Like you had it when you thought you had me slippin' at the telly✦ (Yeah)
Even✦ when I'm gettin'✦ brain, you'll never✦ catch me with a thot
Lacking with it, "He ain't spittin' like this on his last shit"
Ho, you better✦ go back and listen,✦ you know me better✦
Thinkin' I'll slow or let up, call it trap 'cause it's a total setup
Hopin'✦ that you rappers fall in that, Dre said, "Hold your head up" (Huh?)–Kathy Griffin
Stackin'✦ ammunition,✦ slap the clip in, cock it back on competition✦
This is how I shot ahead✦ (Pew)–Gabby Gifford
My attack✦ is vicious,✦ Jack the Ripper,✦ back in business
Tyler✦ create nothin',✦ I see why you called✦ yourself a ******, bitch
It's not just 'cause you lack attention✦
It's because you worship D12's balls, you're sack-religious✦
If you're gonna✦ critique me, you better✦ at least be as good or better✦
Get Earl the Hooded✦ Sweater, whatever✦ his name is to help you put together
Some words, more than just two letters, the fans waited✦ for this moment✦
Like that feature✦ when I stole the show (Ha), sorry✦ if I took forever✦ (Haha)✦
[Chorus: Justin Vernon & Eminem]
Don't fall on my face (Yeah)
Don't fall on my faith, oh (I won't)
Don't fall on my fate (Line 'em up)
Don't fall on my faith, oh (Haha)✦
Don't fall on my fate (It's too easy)✦
[Verse 3: Eminem]
Just remember, I was here before✦ you
And I'll be here after✦ you make your run-in✦ for you
Detractors, I'ma✦ have to fuck Pitchfork with a corkscrew (Ah)
Just what the doctor✦ ordered,✦ revenge is the best medicine (Yeah)
Increase the dose, from least to most, and then tell the Grammys to go and fuck themselves
They suck the blood from all the biggest artists✦ like some leeches
So they nominate✦ 'em, get 'em there, get a name to MC the show
Every✦ parasite needs a host (Haha)✦
Then give Album of the Year to somebody✦ that no one's✦ ever✦ even✦ heard of
All I know is I wrote every✦ single word of everything I ever✦ murdered✦
Time to separate✦ the sheep from GOATs (Yeah)
And I got no faith in your writers, I don't believe in ghosts
When rap needed✦ it most, I was that wing and a prayer (Huh)
A beacon of hope, put a B-I-R-D in the air
Somewhere some kid is bumpin'✦ this while he lip-syncs in the mirror✦
That's who I'm doin' it for, the rest, I don't really✦ even✦ care
But you would think I'm carryin' a Oxford✦ dictionary in my pocket✦
How I'm buryin'✦ these artists✦ on a scale of "turnt", you're "minus"
Mine says "very",✦ yours says "hardly",✦ and what's scary✦ is you prob'ly✦
Can compare me to your car 'cause I'm just barely✦ gettin'✦ started (Woo)
And far as Lord Jamar,✦ you better✦ leave me the Hell alone✦
Or I'll show you an Elvis✦ clone, walk up in this house you own
Thrust my pelvic bone, use your telephone and go fetch me the remote✦
Put my feet up and just make myself at home (Yeah)
I belong here, clown, don't tell me 'bout the culture✦
I inspired the Hopsins, the Logics, the Coles,✦ the
Seans, the K-Dots, the 5'9"s, and oh
Brought the world 50 Cent, you did squat, piss and moan
But I'm not gonna✦ fall, bitch (Yeah)
[Outro: Justin Vernon]
It's too loud
Can't hear it coming✦ down the hallway stairs from the parking lot
It's too loud
Three’s not a crowd all up in it
Slow fire

Verified Doubles & Entendres
"sack-religious"
① A play on 'sacrilegious', implying an act against something sacred or holy.② A literal description of the subject 'worshipping' the 'balls' (scrotum) of D12, creating a literal and offensive pun on the word 'sack'.
"shot ahead"
① To have moved into a leading position in a contest or career.② A direct reference to Gabby Giffords, who survived a gunshot wound to the head, creating a violent double-entendre linking career success with physical violence.
Exceptional density of internal rhymes
Sharp, aggressive delivery performance
High-impact phonetic wordplay
Content is highly reactive and focused on interpersonal feuds
Occasional reliance on shock value over thematic depth
