Black And White

I Pray That God Answers, Maybe I'll Ask Nicer

99% Of My Life I Was Lied To. I Just Found Out My Mom Does More Dope Than I Do(damn!). I Told Her I'd Grow Up To Be A Famous Rapper, Make A Record About Doing Drugs And Name It After Her (-oh, Thank You!).

My Rhyming Skills Got You Climbing Hills, I'll Travel Through Your Mind Into Your Spine Like Siren Drills.

Love, When Spelled Backwards And Read Phonetically, Reads Evil

I Find You Offensive For Finding Me Offensive

Personally, 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.

I Get Imaginative With A Mouth Full Of Adjectives, A Brain Full Of Adverbs, And A Box Full Of Laxatives, Shittin' On Rappers, Causin' Hospital Accidents.

Touring Used To Be Hard. Early On In My Career When I Was More In Grind Mode, I Was Doing Two Or Three Shows A Day. It Was Tough Because You Start Feeling Like You Have No Life. That Being Said, I Do Enjoy Actually Doing The Shows.

You Can Be A Permanent Fixture In My Lyrical Mixture.

Sporadic Thoughts Will Pop Into My Head And I'll Have To Go Write Something Down, And The Next Thing You Know, I've Written A Whole Song In An Hour.

Try To Strip Me Of My Credibility And Make Me Look Fake, G You Only Gonna Be In For A Rude Awakening.

I Get Offended When People Say, 'so, Being A White Rapper...and Growing Up White...after Being Born White...' It's All I Ever Hear!

Say There's A White Kid Who Lives In A Nice Home, Goes To An All-white School, And Is Pretty Much Having Everything Handed To Him On A Platter - For Him To Pick Up A Rap Tape Is Incredible To Me, Because What That's Saying Is That He's Living A Fantasy Life Of Rebellion.

If There's Not Drama And Negativity In My Life, All My Songs Will Be Really Wack And Boring Or Something.

Negative People

I Don't Know Why This World Keeps Turning, Round And Round. But I Wish It Would Stop And Let Me Off Right Now!

Life... By Marshall Mathers... What Is Life ? Life Is Like A Big Obstacle Put In Front Of Your Optical To Slow You Down... And Everytime You Think You Gotten Past It It's Gonna Come Back Around And Tackle You To The Damn Ground

You Heard Of Hell, Well I Was Sent From It.

I Don't Know If I Ever Feel Totally Great About A Record When I Put It Out. With Every Record That I Put Out, Someone Has Literally Got To Come Pry It From Me Because When I Listen To My Own Music, I Just Hear Flaws In It.

I've Got Miracle Lyrical Capability All In Me / With The Agility To Escape A Killer Bee Colony.

If You Could Count The Skeletons In My Closet, Under My Bed And Up Under My Faucet, Then You Would Know I've Completely Lost It. Is He Nuts? No He's Insane!

Sometimes I'm Real Cool, But Sometimes I Could Be A Real Asshole. I Think Everyone Is Like That.

Any Mc Who Chooses To Go Up Against Me Is Getting Taken Advantage Of Like Monica Lewinski

Taken Advantage

Insecure About My Body, About My Personality, Sometimes Even About My Understanding Of Everything.

All My Life I've Been Dealing With My Race Because Of Where I Grew Up [detroit] And Being In The Rap Game. I'm At A Boiling Point...anybody Who Pulls The Race Card Is Getting It Right Back In Their Face.

To The People I Forgot, You Weren't On My Mind For Some Reason And You Probably Don't Deserve Any Thanks Anyway.

I Believe People Can Change, But Only For The Worse

It's Not A Contest, And I Ain't On No Conquest For No Mate.

I Don't Need A Tank Top To Be A Wife Beater

You Don't Get Another Chance, Life Is No Nintendo Game.

I Would Love It If, Even For One Day, You Could Walk Through A Neighborhood And See An Asian Guy Sitting On His Stoop, Then You Look Across The Street And See A Black Guy And A White Guy Sitting On Their Porches, And A Mexican Dude Walking By.

Hip-hop Is Universal Now, It's All Commercial Now. It's Like A Circle Full Of Circus Clowns Up In The Circuit Now.

You Know, Fame Is A Funny Thing, Man, Especially, You Know, Actors, Musicians, Rappers, Rock Singers, It's Kind Of A Lifestyle And It's Easy To Get Caught Up In It - You Go To Bars, You Go To Clubs, Everyone's Doing A Certain Thing... It's Tough.

With Every Song, All The Elements Have To Work. First, The Beat Has To Be Great - You Start There. You Start With The Music, And Then The Ideas Follow. Then You Start Thinking Of Rhymes, And Then You Record It, And Sometimes - This Happens To Me A Lot - It Doesn't Come Out As Good As It Did In My Head When I First Wrote It.

I Realized, 'yo, I Can't Do Anything In Moderation. I Don't Know How.'

I Don't Even Know How To Speak Up For Myself, Because I Don't Really Have A Father Who Would Give Me The Confidence Or Advice.

Infinite Was Me Trying To Figure Out How I Wanted My Rap Style To Be, How I Wanted To Sound On The Mic And Present Myself. It Was A Growing Stage. I Felt Like Infinite Was Like A Demo That Just Got Pressed Up.

You Know, I Don't Know If You Know This About Me Or Not, But I'm Kind Of A Big Deal.

‘cause Sometimes You Just Feel Tired, Feel Weak And When You Feel Weak, You Feel Like You Wanna Just Give Up But You Gotta Search Within You And Gotta Find That Inner Strength And Just Pull That Shit Out Of You And Get That Motivation To Not Give Up And Not Be A Quitter, No Matter How Bad You Wanna Just Fall Flat On Your Face, And Collapse.

Ain't Nothin' But A Whole Lot Of Suckin' Goin' On In Rap.

It Creeps Me Out Sometimes To Think Of The Person I Was. I Was A Terrible Person. I Was Mean To People.

Yeah, It's Been A Ride I Guess I Had To Go To That Place To Get To This One Now Some Of You Might Still Be In That Place If You're Trying To Get Out, Just Follow Me I'll Get You There

Nuts They Go, Macadamia They Go So Ballistic, Whoa.

People Can Try To Reinvent Themselves. I Don't Think You Can Really Change Who You Are, Though, Because Who You Are Is Pretty Much Where You Came From And What You've Done Up To Now.

I 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.

I Didn't Have Nothin' Going For Me... School, Home... Until I Found Something I Loved, Which Was Music, And That Changed Everything.

I'm Not Really Book-smart.

I Will Hit A Man With Glasses.

See I'm A Poet To Some, A Regular Modern Day Shakespeare.

I Haven't Had A Perfect Career. I've Put Some Albums Out That, Looking Back, I'm Not Super Proud Of, But There's Also A Lot Of Stuff That I Am Very Proud Of.

I Like It When People Talk S**t. Because If People Weren't Talking S**t, There Would Be Nothing For Me To Come Back With. I Need That. If I Don't Have Any Ammo, What Am I Going To Say?

It's Just Hard To Meet New People, In My Position.

Meeting New People

Soul's Escaping Through This Hole That Is Gaping

The Details Surrounding Both My Marriage And Subsequent Filing For Divorce Are Private, And I Had Hoped To Keep Them That Way For The Sake Of My Family.

As For Being Aids Infested, I Don't Know Yet, I'm Too Scared To Get Tested.

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.

Don't Let Them Say You Ain't Beautiful. They Can All Get Fu#ked Just Stay True To You.

Slim Shady Is Just The Evil Thoughts That Come Into My Head. Things I Shouldn't Be Thinking About. Not To Be Gimmicky, But People Should Be Able To Determine When I'm Serious And When I'm F... Around. That's Why A Lot Of My Songs Are Funny. I Got A Warped Sense Of Humor I Guess.

I Might Talk About Killing People, But That Doesn't Mean I Do It.

I'm Hatin' My Reflection, I Walk Around The House Tryin' To Fight Mirrors, I Can't Stand What I Look Like

I Come From Detroit Where It's Rough And I'm Not A Smooth Talker.

We Just Kept Moving Back And Forth Because My Mother Never Had A Job. We Kept Getting Kicked Out Of Every House We Were In. I Believe Six Months Was The Longest We Ever Lived In A House.

Music Is Reflection Of Self.
