Without me (clean version) Lyrics

by Eminem

"Without Me" is Eminem's complicated song: a renaissance of his alter ego, Slim Shady, and a put-down to the music scene, views of him in the music scene, and society at large. Released on May 21, 2002, born from the hit album "The Eminem Show," this song grew extremely quickly and acted as a hit, showing Eminem's response to the criticism, the controversy, and along with it, the critical view he has on his authority within the music scene. In "Without Me," Eminem focuses on his position within the music business, somehow comparing himself to Elvis Presley and the criticisms heaped on the two because they were successful in genres that had previously been predominantly black. He further comments on his legal troubles and feuds with stars, interweaving wit and sharp lyrics on the subject of censorship, freedom of expression, and his own experiences with being famous. The song also debuts Eminem's frustrations with the music business, taking his satirical swings at figures like Chris Kirkpatrick and Moby, both of whom Eminem alleges have criticized his work in some way. These disses underline Eminem's stormy relations with other stars and his intolerance of criticism. "Without Me" is of importance as a musical composition not only because of its lyrics but also thanks to a well-achieved music video, under the direction of Joseph Kahn. The video won a Grammy in 2003 for the Best Music Video and several MTV Video Music Awards. It also won several MTV Video Music Awards and featured Eminem and Dr. Dre in comic-book-style roles. This video goes hand in hand with this song to the parodying of media, censorship, and Eminem's own controversies. Overall, "Without Me" reflects Eminem's purportedly complicated relations with fame, observes, and criticizes the entertainment industry; he reiterates the necessity of his voice in rap. The piece includes humor, criticism, and personal thoughts that others can connect with him about, making him a linchpin in modern music.

Without me (clean version) Song Lyrics

Without me (clean version) by Eminem

[Obie Trice]
"Obie Trice, Real Name No Gimmicks..."

[Eminem]
Two trailer park girls go round the outside,
round the outside, round the outside.
Two trailer park girls go round the outside,
round the outside, round the outside.

[Female Voice]
"Ooooohhhhh!"

[Eminem]
Guess who's back, back again
Shady's back, tell a friend
Guess who's back, guess who's back,
guess who's back, guess who's back,
guess who's back, guess who's back,
guess who's back...

I've created a monster, cuz nobody wants to
See Marshall no more they want Shady
I'm chopped liver
Well if you want Shady, then this is what I'll give ya
A little bit of me mixed with some hard liquor
Some vodka that will jumpstart my heart quicker
Then a shock when I get shocked at the hospital
By the Dr. when I'm not cooperating
When I'm rocking the table while he's operating "Hey"
You waited this long to stop debating
Cuz I'm back, I'm on the rag and ovulating
I know that you got a job Ms. Cheney
But your husband's heart problem is complicating
So the FCC won't let me be
Yo let me be me so let me see
They tried to shut me down on MTV
But it feels so empty without me
So come on dip, bum on your lips
jump back, jiggle her hip and wiggle a bit
And get ready cuz this is about to get heavy
I just settled all my lawsuits, "_uck you Debbie!"

Now this looks like a job for me
So everybody just follow me
Cuz we need a little controversy,
Cuz it feels so empty without me

I said this looks like a job for me
So everybody just follow me
Cuz we need a little controversy,
Cuz it feels so empty without me

Little hellions, kids feeling rebellious
Embarrassed, their parents still listen to Elvis
They start feeling like prison is helpless,
Til someone comes along on a mission and yells "_itch"
A visionary, vision is scary, could start a revolution,
Pollutin' the air waves a rebel
So let me just revel and bask,
In the fact that I got everyone kissing my a--
And it's a disaster such a catastrophe
For you to see so damn much of my a-- you ask for me?
Well I'm back (*Batman Noise*) fix your bent antenna
Tune it in and then I'm gonna enter
Into the front of your skin like a splinter
The center of attention back for the winter
I'm interesting, the best thing since wrestling
Infesting in your kids ears and nesting
Testing "Attention Please"
Feel the tension soon as soon someone mentions me
Here's my 10 cents, my 2 cents is free
A nuisance, who sent, you sent for me?

Now this looks like a job for me
So everybody just follow me
Cuz we need a little controversy,
Cuz it feels so empty without me

I said this looks like a job for me
So everybody just follow me
Cuz we need a little controversy,
Cuz it feels so empty without me

A tisk-it a task-it,
I go tit for tat with anybody who's talking this & that sh_t
Chris Kirkpatrick, you can get your a-- kicked
Worse than them little Limp Bizkit a ards,
And Moby, you can get stomped by Obie,
You 36 year old bald headed scared ____ me
You don't know me, you're too old
Let go, it's over, nobody listens to techno
Now lets go, just give me the signal
I will be there with a whole list full of new insults
I've been dope, suspenseful with a pencil
Ever since Prince turned himself into a symbol
But sometimes man it just seems,
Everybody only wants to discuss me
So this must mean I'm disgusting,
But its just me I'm just obscene
Though I'm not the first king of controversy
I am the worst thing since Elvis Presley,
To do Black Music so selflessly
And use it to get myself worthy (Hey)
There's a concept that works
20 million other white rappers emerge
But no matter how many fish in the sea
It'll be so empty without me

Now this looks like a job for me
So everybody just follow me
Cuz we need a little controversy,
Cuz it feels so empty without me

I said this looks like a job for me
So everybody just follow me
Cuz we need a little controversy,
Cuz it feels so empty without me

Hum dei la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la
Hum dei la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la

"Kids!"
