The reality is you do not know exactly what is likely to occur tomorrow. Lifetime can be a ridiculous trip, and practically nothing is confirmed.
EminemPersonally, I just think rap music is the best thing out there, period. If you look at my deck in my car radio, you're always going to find a hip-hop tape; that's all I buy, that's all I live, that's all I listen to, that's all I love.
EminemI have a hard time memorizing stuff. I'm always in the process of writing a new song, so trying to learn a new one takes a minute.
EminemIf I said in one of my songs that my English teacher wanted to have sex with me in junior high, all I'm saying, is that I'm not gay, you know? People confuse the lyrics for me speaking my mind. I don't agree with that lifestyle, but if that lifestyle is for you, then it's your business.
EminemI don't know why this world keeps turning, round and round. But I wish it would stop and let me off right now!
EminemYou know how it is - you make songs, and as you make the new ones, the old ones get old and you throw them out.
EminemStep by step, heart to heart, left right left. We all fall down like toy soldiers. Bit by bit, torn apart, we never win.
EminemHe made you feel like you knew him. I think that honestly, 2pac was the greatest songwriter that ever lived. He made it seem so easy. The emotion was there, and feeling, and everything he was trying to describe. You saw a picture that he was trying to paint.
EminemIf people take anything from my music, it should be motivation to know that anything is possible as long as you keep working at it and don't back down.
EminemYou better lose yourself in the music, the moment You own it, you better never let it go You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
EminemMusic is my time capsule. Each album reflects what I'm going through or what's going on in my life at that moment.
EminemWhen you feel like you've had it up to here, and you're mad enough to scream, but you're sad enough to tear, that's rock bottom.
EminemThe album requires a certain focus of mine that I can't really explain - let's just say it's all I can really do while I'm doing it.
EminemYou can try and read my lyrics off of this paper before I lay 'em But you won't take the sting out these words before I say 'em
EminemI grew up on Hip Hop, it's the music I love and it's the music I respect. I respect the culture...that's me.
EminemIt's a trip when people take sobriety for granted. Feeling trapped in my addiction and then getting sober - you appreciate it so much more, because I didn't know if I would ever know what it's like to feel normal again, ever.
EminemIt creeps me out sometimes to think of the person I was. I was a terrible person. I was mean to people.
EminemThere was a while when I was feeling like, 'Damn, if I'd just been born black, I would not have to go through all this'.
EminemSometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds It's like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me.
EminemBelieve it or not, I thank my mom for how she raised me in a neighborhood daily to jump and chase me. It only made me what I am today.
EminemYou know, not to sound corny or nuthin', but I felt like a fighter comin' up, man. I felt like, you know, I'm being attacked for this reason or that reason, and I gotta fight my way through this.
EminemI had this whole Slim Shady concept of being two different people, having two different sides of me. One of them I was trying to let go, and I looked at the mirror and smashed it. That was the whole intro of the Slim Shady EP. Slim Shady was coming to haunt me.
EminemYou beef wit me, I'm-a even the score equally. Take you on Jerry Springer and beat your ass legally.
