[Chorus: Lil Wayne, Lil Wayne & Eminem, Eminem]
So I could pick the world up
And I'ma✦ drop it on your fuckin'✦ head, haha,✦ yeah
Bitch, I'ma✦ pick the world up
And I'ma✦ drop it on your fuckin'✦ head, yeah
And I could die now, rebirth,✦ motherfucker✦
Hop up in my spaceship✦ and leave Earth, motherfucker✦
I'm gone, motherfucker,✦ I'm gone
I'm gone
[Bridge: Eminem]
It hurts, but I never✦ show this pain, you'll never✦ know
If only✦ you could see just how lonely✦ and how cold
And frostbit I've become,✦ my back's against the wall
When push come to shove, I just stand up and scream: "Fuck 'em all"
[Verse 3: Eminem]
Man, it feels like these walls are closin'✦ in, this roof is cavin'✦ in
Up, it's time to raise it, then your days are numbered like pages✦ in
My book of rhymes;✦ got 'em cookin',✦ boy
This crooked mind of mines✦ got 'em all shook
And scared to look in my eyes
I stole that fuckin'✦ clock: I took the time
And I came up from behind✦ and pretty✦ much snuck up
And butt-fucked this game up
Better✦ be careful when you bring my name up
Fuck this fame, that ain't what I came to claim
But the game ain't gonna✦ be the same on the day that I leave it
But I swear, one way or another, I'ma✦ make these fuckin'✦ haters believe it
I swear to God, won't spare the rod
I'm a man of my word, so your fuckin'✦ heads better✦ nod
Or I'ma✦ fuck around✦ in this bitch and roast everybody
Sleep on me, that pillow✦ is where your head'll lie
Permanently, bitch, it's beddy-bye
This world is my Easter✦ egg, yeah, prepare to die
My head is swole, my confidence is up, this stage is my pedestal
I'm unstoppable, Incredible Hulk, you're trapped in my medicine ball
I could run circles around✦ you so fast your fuckin'✦ head'll spin, dog
I'll split your cabbage, and your lettuce, and olives,✦ I'll fuckin'✦
[Chorus: Lil Wayne, Lil Wayne & Eminem Eminem]
Pick the world up
And I'ma✦ drop it on your fuckin'✦ head, yeah
Bitch, I'ma✦ pick the world up
And I'ma✦ drop it on your fuckin'✦ head, yeah
And I could die now, rebirth,✦ motherfucker✦
Hop up in my spaceship✦ and leave Earth, motherfucker✦
I'm gone, motherfucker,✦ I'm gone
I'm gone

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"stole that fuckin' clock: I took the time"

① literal interpretation of theft within the metaphor of the industry being a clock② the idiomatic expression 'taking one's time' transformed into an act of violent appropriation

"days are numbered like pages in / My book of rhymes"

① a threat suggesting an opponent's time is running out② a literal reference to the physical pagination of his written material

Exceptional rhythmic tension

Cohesive narrative arc from claustrophobia to dominance

Aggressive and varied vocal inflection

Seamless integration of internal rhyme schemes

Relies on aggressive posturing tropes common in the era

Slightly truncated line endings in the final couplet
