EMINEM

[Intro]

I'm legendary, legen-legendary, I'm le-le-legendary

[Verse 1]

The theme song to my supplier, plays in the key of a ki, I'm like a messiah

Crossed with The Wire, rapping around the Boardwalk Empire

Who brought their Bibles? This the Christ chapter

I'm sick enough to take my life then take your life after

Don't take me light or play me light: we two of the same

God melted the Rubik's cube into fluid and threw it into my intuitive brain

I'm eating food for moving music in the gratuitous lane

Been through twice, now I'm running through until I'm through with the game!

You can find me under a black cloud: I'm a dark star

Only thing I hate worse than a mark, is a marked car

I climb mountains like Marvin Gaye, Tammy Terrell

You could put a face on my style; it'd be Sammy Cassell's

I switch the fire up like I am a tranny from Hell

What I got in my hand right now should remind you of Stanley Burrell

Cause it's the hammer, the cannon, you can dance with the shells

My pet peeves are granny panties and planning to fail

I'm a heavyweight; I'm catastrophic

When I set it like Farenheit 9/11, meditate 'til the levees break

I tar and feather featherweights until my 'fetti straight

The MAC-11'll clap your melon and give your ass spaghetti face

You ever looked inside some dying eyes?

You'll see surprise and realize there's no denying God

When was the last time that you heard that the "I" in "try"?

Ryan vibes like cyanide; I am proud

To say that I've evolved, there's only one "I" in defying odds

Small-time arrogance perishes every time to giant pride

Who y'all respect is probably cross-dressing

Your favorite MC can probably find himself, vibing to my Lost Sessions

I'm legendary

[Chorus]

Now everybody wanna believe me

But they don't really know what's in my heart

This time around it's startin' to feel easy

My enemies starting to fall down

(I'm legendary, legen-legendary, le-le-legendary)

My enemies starting to fall down

(I'm legendary, leg-legendary)

Fall down (le-le-legendary, legendary, legendary)

I'm legendary

[Verse 2]

I got my noodles intact

You want support of Detroit rap, niggas can Google this gat

'Cause we the reason why you eating, we put the food on the map

Right where the mitten is and you ain't do jack

Just who we kidding here? This here's a different year

So you shouldn't assume that I'm tryna measure up to you

When I tell you the ruler is back, in fact

As far as you new kids, what have you did?

I know that I've burnt some bridges in the past, but I'm happy to say that I built a new bridge

As far as killing I'm forever willing and ready

I will make my children's peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a machete

You marry the streets then we will kill at your wedding

Tell every guest at your reception they gon' get more than just hit with confetti

Now your bitch a believer

You know what you get when you mix a bumblebee with a lamb?

You get the 'Ghini I'm sitting in

Riding through Pittsburgh while I'm listening to Wiz Khalifa

Black and Yellow, the blunted joint: here's the reefer

One minute you tough, one minute you shook

I know, I learned a while ago, to hide power from you, I should just put it in a book

You illiterate parasites: I kill you every time

Throw a nigga' body around the room, have a nigga looking like Jamiroquai

And yes I, am a firm believer that the naked truth

Looks a hundred times better than the best-dressed lie

And why you niggas is hating?

I wonder is God really an atheist? He made me the same temperature as his nemesis Satan

Y'all need to repent cause y'all been imitating

A statue of me, to you is a statute of limitations

You backwards as me and a feminist dating

Let's tally the sales like Gladys and Patti LaBelle: I'm a big wig

My straw's in the hole of a volcano: I'm having a big swig

[Chorus]

Now everybody wanna believe me

But they don't really know what's in my heart

This time around it's startin' to feel easy

My enemies starting to fall down

(I'm legendary, legen-legendary, le-le-legendary)

My enemies starting to fall down

(I'm legendary, leg-legendary)

Fall down (le-le-legendary, legendary, legendary)

I'm legendary
