Not Eminem
Lyrics by Zero all rights reserved [Intro] [Spoken Voice – calm, slightly amused] A lot of people... hear my voice... hear my flow... and think they already know who I am. [Short pause] But they don't. [Beat drops hard] Let's get one thing straight. Yeah... Turn it up. Listen close! [Hook] [Dramatic electric guitar riffs kick in] [High-energy anthemic chorus] Haters say my music's slop, But I just make it drop. They hear me spitting Hip-Hop, And think this Eminem comparison won't stop. But look at me, look at him, No, I am really not Slim. Check the name, check the stem: I am not Eminem! [Verse 1] [Heavy bass drum stomp-clap beat] [Dramatic electric guitar riffs] Yes, it's true, I'm not Shady, Growing up, I was searching for my daddy. But no matter how I searched, he wasn't there, Where the hell was he? Now I just don't care. So I grew up without a role model, Could've ended up drowning in the bottle. Possibly some pills, but that didn't feel right, So very early on, I learned how to fight. There was just one important rule: Out in these streets, don't be a fool. An unwritten law that I had to feel, Learn it fast or get bitten by the real. So every day I was seeing that reality, Surrounded by corruption and criminality. Cops just looking the other way, Watching the madness night and day. [Hook] [Dramatic electric guitar riffs kick in] [High-energy anthemic chorus] Haters say my music's slop, But I just make it drop. They hear me spitting Hip-Hop, And think this Eminem comparison won't stop. But look at me, look at him, No, I am really not Slim. Check the name, check the stem: I am not Eminem! [Verse 2] [Guitars fade out] [Raw marching stomp-clap beat] [Intense vocal delivery] I am not Marshall, that's a fact, In my youth was often attacked. I got discriminated, yeah, I hated it, Even teachers said I'd never make it. That shit left me frustrated, Felt like I was isolated. Yeah, I tell you, that wasn't cool, So I started hating school. But then again, why should I bother? Just a young man growing up without a father. All those stupid classmates kept on joking, About my father, like it was nothing. They kept on laughing, never knowing How deep that shit was really going. But I always fought back, never run, I lost some battles, but the others I won. [Hook] [Dramatic electric guitar riffs kick in] [High-energy anthemic chorus] Haters say my music's slop, But I just make it drop. They hear me spitting Hip-Hop, And think this Eminem comparison won't stop. But look at me, look at him, No, I am really not Slim. Check the name, check the stem: I am not Eminem! [Verse 3] [Guitars fade out] [Raw marching stomp-clap beat] [Intense vocal delivery] Have to mention, I'm not from Detroit, Still remembering the day my world was destroyed. It was heavy and hard, Seeing everything falling apart. Things I believed in turned to a lie, I was so tired of seeing my homies die. No happy ending like in a film scene, Just the quietest horror that I've ever seen. That was just awful, it was really bad, A turning point, didn't want to end up like that. Those things just turned me insane, But after some time I learned to live with that pain. So after surviving the darkest hour, I learned to turn that pain into power. At the end, these deep wounds made me what I am, Yeah, I am built from the scars, but not Eminem. [Hook] [Full orchestration] [Guitars and strings climax] Haters say my music's slop, But I just make it drop. They hear me spitting Hip-Hop, And think this Eminem comparison won't stop. But look at me, look at him, No, I am really not Slim. Check the name, check the stem: I am not Eminem! [Outro] [Beat slows down to a heavy pulse] [Electric guitar echoing] Haters say my music's slop, But I'm just ignoring them. Yeah, sometimes I make Hip-Hop That sounds a little like Eminem. So some people compare me with him, But that's not what I am. Yeah, I'm really not Slim... [Short pause] N-n-no... Not Eminem. [Longer pause] I know who I am. [Music cuts out abruptly]
