[Verse 1: Eminem]
I'll have you taken✦ back to Christ when you're sacrificed
The way you're hacked✦ and sliced✦
When I fill your back with knives✦
Jackin'✦ life's✦ of MC's, now I'm set to launch a plan
For blowin'✦ up the stage with illegal contraband
I stomped your man, so unless✦ you want what he got
You better✦ set the mic down, I'm steamin' like a teapot✦
I make the D hot, people get in my face and ask
If I wanna✦ battle, then I chase them in a Jason✦ mask
It's an amazin'✦ task to battle with success
I never✦ gave a fuck, now I give a fuck less
And win a slug fest, I get physical✦ like physicians✦
Invisible like magicians✦ with mystical✦ mic traditions
Wicked✦ wizardry like a sorcerer, no remorse for ya
When I torture ya throughout the course of my orchestra
So feel the force of my spiritual images✦
Slicin'✦ up an enemy's appendages✦ 'til he hemorrhages✦
My skin itches✦ every✦ time a rapper✦ recites
And when he's through with his verse, I'm all covered in flea bites✦
You wanna✦ see fights, I got a match for ya
You couldn't flip shit playin' in toilets with a spatula
[Chorus: Thyme & Treach]
Ayo, who the fuck passed✦ you the mic and said that you can flow?
Point him out, man, I wanna✦ know!
Who the fuck passed✦ you the mic and said that you can flow?
(I wanna✦ know, wanna✦ know)
Ayo, who the fuck passed✦ you the mic and said that you can flow?
Point him out, bitch, I wanna✦ know!
Who the fuck passed✦ you the mic and said that you can flow?
(I wanna✦ know, wanna✦ know)
[Verse 2: Eminem]
You bitches get a hysterectomy disrespectin' me
You wanna✦ feel the full effect of me, hand a TEC to me
Intellectually✦ superior,✦ I'll make the whack wearier
Inferior✦ deteriorate✦ like bacteria
Materially,✦ killin'✦ serially,✦ clearly you'll see
How much in fear when you hear me you'll be
Shiver✦ and shake, quiver✦ and quake
Bite a rhyme and feel your jaw get stiffer and ache
Wither✦ and break, you slitherin'✦ snake
Gibberin'✦ fake, fibber✦ and flake
I'll twist you in a different shape
And toss you in Michigan Lake for fisherman's sake
If this is a dream, you wish you can wake every✦ diss you can take
Personal, we ain't friends tryin' to make amends
If you ain't ever✦ stole a gate, you can take offense✦
I make intense✦ masterpieces
And smash to pieces✦ your last releases✦
You pass diseases,✦ that's the reason✦
I'm showin'✦ you the proper✦ way to
Operate✦ a mic, so pass it like a hot potato✦
I've never✦ been less than clever✦ and fresh
Severin'✦ flesh of fools who never✦ impressed ever✦ infest✦
[Chorus: Thyme & Treach]
Who the fuck passed✦ you the mic and said that you can flow?
Point him out, man, I wanna✦ know!
Who the fuck passed✦ you the mic and said that you can flow?
(I wanna✦ know, wanna✦ know)
Ayo, who the fuck passed✦ you the mic, man, and said that you can flow?
Point him out, bitch, I wanna✦ know!
Who the fuck passed✦ you the mic and then said that you can flow?
(I wanna✦ know, wanna✦ know)
[Outro: Thyme & Treach]
Whoooo the fuck passed✦ you the mic and said that you can flow?!
Point him out! I wanna✦ know
Who the fuck passed✦ you the mic and said that you can flow?
I wanna✦ know, wanna✦ know
(Ayo, let me get that mic, man!)
Who the fuck passed✦ you the mic and said that you can flow?
Who the fuck passed✦ you the mic?!
Who the fuck passed✦ you the mic, man?!
(I got the rhymes,✦ bitch, I'll kick that shit!)

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

An early-career display of raw, aggressive multisyllabic technique and rhythmic stamina, though constrained by a reliance on horrorcore tropes rather than high-concept lyrical depth.

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"you couldn't flip shit playin' in toilets with a spatula"

① The literal, absurd image of attempting to cook waste in a toilet.② A metaphor for the opponent's inability to perform or 'flip' quality rhymes, emphasizing their lack of skill.

"I'm steamin' like a teapot"

① Physical state of anger (boiling over).② A reference to the physical act of rapping with enough intensity to create pressure and literal heat.

High-density rhyme chains

Relentless forward momentum

Strong command of rhythmic placement

Vivid, albeit macabre, imagery

Themes rely on dated horrorcore shock value

Vocabulary lacks nuance compared to later career

Metaphorical content is largely one-dimensional
