Annotations and Meaning.
Eminem, a comic book fan, references Captain America in his song "Go South." He breaks up the word "America" to sound like "Murica," a common mispronunciation used in rural areas, connecting to his name-drop of Captain America. The song also plays on the phrase "It's not over until the fat lady sings," where Lizzo is a larger woman. Eminem mocks the fat acceptance movement, a social justice movement associated with liberalism and "wokeness" in popular consciousness. The song transitions to a flow reminiscent of "Good Guy," which delves into themes of good and evil. The song interpolates elements of "Good Guy" to address side effects caused by diabetes and obesity. Eminem directly name drops Juvenile and uses his flow from the 1998 hit, "HA," from the 4x platinum album, 400 Degreez. The phrase "go South" doubles as a double entendre for going downhill and traveling south, a nod to Cash Money Records's home state, Louisiana, which is part of The South, an American term referring to the southern part of the United States. Eminem's relationship with Cash Money Records is a testament to their respect for each other. Eminem creates a homophone sound in the song, referencing Adult Swim, an American adult-oriented television programming block featuring animated series targeting an adult audience. "Road Rage" is the ninth track on Eminem's album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce). In Eminem's trademark contentious and inflammatory style, the song discusses a variety of social topics and attacks current civilization.[Intro]
Sly Pyper begins by commenting on the rap industry's divisions and the impact of social media on authenticity. He says how people get caught up in appearances and facades, alluding to the misleading nature of the entertainment industry.[Verse 1].
Eminem utilizes this song to illustrate current society's follies and paradoxes, particularly those involving identity and political correctness. He mocks the complexities and confusion of societal designations, utilizing humor to highlight the irony of navigating this world. The verse concludes with a reference to "Captain A—'Merica," combining pop culture and social commentary.[Chorus]
The chorus, performed by Sly Pyper, conveys a sense of pent-up irritation and anger, similar to road rage. The desire to "black the fuck out" and "roll with the heathens" exemplifies the theme of defying cultural standards and expectations.[Verse 2][Interlude]
The interlude includes a brief exchange between Slim Shady and Eminem, which highlights his internal conflict and duality. The act of dying hair represents a return to the Slim Shady persona, emphasizing his constant struggle with several identities.[Verse 3].
Eminem continues his analysis of contemporary social issues, including transgender rights and his personal preferences. He examines the expectations placed on people to comply and the concept of compulsory engagement in social issues. His straightforward honesty and inability to shy away from contentious themes highlight his commitment to personal freedom and expression.[Part 2]
The second half of the song has a more angry and combative tone. Eminem discusses his previous controversies and the response he has received. He employs vivid, even disturbing images to emphasize his disdain of conventional norms and criticism. The verse concludes with a shocking statement regarding Christopher Reeve, demonstrating Eminem's uncensored and unrepentant attitude toward his music.[Outro]
The outro concludes the song with a final rebellious remark, emphasizing Eminem's determination to speak his thoughts no matter the repercussions. "Road Rage" is an unedited music that explores societal critiques, personal independence, and the ambiguities of modern identity. Eminem's controversial lyrics and strong delivery encourage listeners to confront hard facts and question the status quo.Road Rage Song Lyrics
Road Rage by Eminem
This rap sh*t divided by panty lines, mm, which side are you on? (Pussy)
Social media got you f**kin' in pantomime, damn, why that line so long? (Rookie)
I'm just caught up in the rapture, tryna be a rap star, I hope I make it out alive (Alive)
I'm a master at masquerading and actin' like I ain't faded, only I can see through my disguise
[Verse 1: Eminem]
Yeah, I walk around more confused than my aunt Linda's man-friend
A black transgender Klan member (What?)
Who's a Caitlyn Jenner fan and a (What?)
Member of Grindr and Tinder
Head empty as an empty abandoned a— (Yeah)
'Partment while I'm dancing a—
'Round all these namеs and labels that I can't memo— (What the f**k?)
'Rizе, now my antennaes
Are up on this PC sh*t, I'm finna
Go out on my shield like Captain A— (What?)
'Merica, transcender
[Chorus: Sly Pyper]
I'm the god of façade, give me a road rage reason
To black the f**k out and roll with the heathens
Road rage, vroom, vroom, vroom, and I'm speedin'
f**k that red light, I'm tryna get even
[Verse 2: Eminem]
Yeah, how could I say some sh*t so mean? (Damn)
They're tryna make my mouth closed like it's clothing (What?)
This what it is though, but this is show biz, so things
Ain't never really truly over 'til Lizzo sings (Like I won't say that)
We should coddle fat people (Yeah), yeah, here's a concept (What?), let's celebrate onset (Yeah)
Diabetes and instead of us dieting we can just have a pie eating contest (Delicious)
And we should be extra nice instead of honest
And instead of exercise (What?)
It's easier to find a triple-X your size
And try to press society to change so you don't have to change
Pick up a way to eat less, them fries make your blood pressure rise
As it starts increasin'
All that starch and grease and
Clogged arteries and
These are the reasons
For your heart disease and
Can't tie your shoes (Why?), it's too hard to reach 'em (sh*t)
But the way things been (With what?)
With today's thinking (Yeah)
We should baby them (Why?)
Instead of shaming them (Oh)
But enabling can (Yeah)
Do more harm than good, so call me Abe Lincoln
'cause I'll be honest, I can flip in a blink and
All I need is one little road rage reason
Yeah, blah, blah, blah, I'm the
[Chorus: Sly Pyper]
I'm the god of façade, give me a road rage reason
To black the f**k out and roll with the heathens
Road rage, vroom, vroom, vroom, and I'm speedin'
f**k that red light, I'm tryna get even
[Verse 3: Eminem]
Yeah, all my obese people, if you're fat, proud, and you know it (Hey)
Raise your hand if you're shoving food in your mouth at this moment (Mmm)
But if you're mad 'cause they're clownin' you for poundin' them donuts (What?)
Put 'em down and either do somethin' about it or own it
[Interlude: Slim Shady & Eminem]
Okay, here we go
Wait, what are you doing?
f**k's it look like I'm doin'? (What? Nah)
Dyin' our hair
No, stop, stop, ow
Shut the f**k up
You're never gonna–
I said, shut the f**k up
Trust me, I know what I'm doing
Yeah
[Verse 4: Eminem]
So transgender rights, where do I stand? Oh (Uh)
I'm all for 'em, I really am pro (Nah, for real)
But intercourse with you (What?), would I have? No (Nope)
I'm just bein' honest (Yeah), now I'm an a**hole (Ho)
Call me a transphobe (Really? Yeah) 'cause I just can't go (What?)
And try and pretend you was never a man though (Sorry)
I mean, damn, bro (Yeah), it's just the way I feel (Uh)
But if I say it will (Mm) it get me cancelled (Yup)
My music get banned (What?), or can it withstand? (No)
This sh*t is quicksand (Help), man, I'm just sayin' (Ha)
I gotta participate for us to co-exist? Damn
I gotta memorize pronouns of a cis man? (Really?)
How come can't we just show solidarity with a wristband? (Or somethin' like that, you know?)
And this ain't even a diss, trans
People, my dick just won't expand
Them tits won't make it stand
But Caitlyn, big fan (No, wait)
[Part II]
[Verse 5: Eminem]
Oh, you want me to f**kin' chill and tone this sh*t down, huh? (Yup)
That's Shady speaking his mind like it was his mouth, huh?
You wish he'd grow up and not be so juvenile, huh?
Cash Money Records, this sh*t's about to go south, huh?
You feelin' stupid now, huh?
Old Slim would've told 'em to put a lid on it like a toilet bowl rim
Hat with the low brim
I'm in the blue corner (What?), white trunks with the gold trim
They bet that I won't win (Yup)
Guess you really showed them (Ha)
Became the best and I made it (Yeah) like Adult Swim
Yeah, but you pick on handicapped people with no limbs
Well then, f**k you, Chris Reeves, and the horse that he rode in
[Outro: Eminem]
b**ch
