Stay Wide Awake

EMINEM

[Intro]

Yeah, yeah (Yeah)

Follow me (Follow me)

Come with me to the dark side of the force (Force)

No man would boldly go to this place

The Devil only knows of this world

So dark and, oh, so cold, it's, oh, so cold

Oh, so cold, oh

[Pre-Chorus]

Soon as my flow starts, I compose art like the ghost of Mozart

Even though they all say that they're real, I know that most aren't

Boy, you think you're clever, don't ya? Girl, you think you're so smart

Come with me to another side in a world so cold and so dark

[Chorus]

(Stay wide awake) A world so dark, a world so cold

A world where only some will go (Stay wide awake)

But none return, when will they learn?

Where do they go? God only knows (Stay wide awake)

[Verse 1]

Fee-fi-fo-fum, I think I smell the scent of a placenta

I enter Central Park, it's dark, it's winter in December

I see my target, put my car in park, and approach a tender

Young girl by the name of Brenda and I pretend to befriend her

Sit down beside her like a spider; "Hi, there girl, you mighta

Heard of me before, see, whore, you're the kind of girl that I'd a–

-ssault and rape, then figure why not try to make your pussy wider

Fuck you with an umbrella then open it up while the shit's inside ya"

I'm the kinda guy that's mild but I might flip and get a little bit wilder

Impregnate a lesbian, yeah, now let's see her have triplets, and I'll di–

-sintegrate them babies as soon as they're out her with formalde–

-hyde and cyanide, girl, you can try and hide, you can try to scream louder

No need for no gunpowder, that only takes all the fun outta

Murderin', I'd rather go vinn-vinn, and now you see just how the

Fuck I do just what I do when I cut right through your scalp, uhh

Shit, wait a minute, I mean skull, my knife seems dull, pull another one out, uh

[Pre-Chorus]

Soon as my flow starts, I compose art like the ghost of Mozart

Even though they all say that they're real, I know that most aren't

Boy, you think you're clever, don't ya? Girl, you think you're so smart

Come with me to another side in a world so cold and so dark

[Chorus]

(Stay wide awake) A world so dark, a world so cold

A world where only some will go (Stay wide awake)

But none return, when will they learn?

Where do they go? God only knows (Stay wide awake)

[Verse 2]

So dark and so cold, my friends don't know this other side of me

There's a monster inside of me, it's quite ugly and it frightens me

But they can't see what I can see, there's a vacancy in my tummy

It's makin' me play hide-and-seek like Jason, I'm so hungry

She's naked, see, no privacy, but I can see she wants me

So patient, see, I try to be, but gee, why does she taunt me?

Pulls the drapes and she goes right to sleep and I creep right through the front, see

So blatantly, but silently 'cause I know that she's sound 'sleep

"Who's wakin' me so violently, and why's he on top of me?

He's rapin' me," she tries to scream, "Somebody please get him off me

He's tapin' me, he's bitin' me, he's laughing like it's funny"

She's scrapin' me, she's fightin' me, she's scratching like some dumb freak

Escapin' me, no dice, ya see, I might just be Ted Bundy

Or Satan, gee, what a sight to see, I'm dancin' in my red panties

I'm crazy, but it's alright with me, man, life can be so empty

Stay away from me 'cause I'm dancin' to quite a different drum beat

[Pre-Chorus]

Soon as my flow starts, I compose art like the ghost of Mozart

Even though they all say that they're real, I know that most aren't

Boy, you think you're clever, don't ya? Girl, you think you're so smart

Come with me to another side in a world so cold and so dark

[Chorus]

(Stay wide awake) A world so dark, a world so cold

A world where only some will go (Stay wide awake)

But none return, when will they learn?

Where do they go? God only knows (Stay wide awake)

[Verse 3]

Better try to stay wide awake or you might end up found dead by the lake

Soon as you lay me down to sleep, bitch, your soul I'ma try to take

Pray for light of day right away, why do they try to fight today?

I must make them pay twice as much, might as well put the knife away

Now I use power tools, how 'bout now, are you in the shower?

Scour you for six hours 'til outage of power outlets

How did ya figure out I was down in your basement? Now ya

Musta just heard the sound of my stomach growlin' from down there

Prowler, there's no one fouler, bound ya, that's how they found ya

Face down in the tub, I drown ya with piles of downers around ya

Such nostalgia and power, such prowess, look how you cower

Jump out on you now like I was a Jawa from fuckin' Star Wars

Jabba the Hutt, beddy-bye-bye, beddy-bye-bye, it's time to die-die

Ought to not even bother to scream, it don't even matter

Amazing when grazin' skin with these razor blades he waves at ya

Not ya everyday Damien, bathe me in holy water

Nothing like Son of Sam, so, please, understand there's no gun in hand

Where's the thrill in the hunt? There's no fun in that, here I come with axe

Fun to act like lumberjack when I'm hackin' 'em up with that

What was that? Dial 9-1-1, someone's comin' in from the back

[Pre-Chorus]

Soon as my flow starts, I compose art like the ghost of Mozart

Even though they all say that they're real, I know that most aren't

Boy, you think you're clever, don't ya? Girl, you think you're so smart

Come with me to another side in a world so cold and so dark

[Chorus]

(Stay wide awake) A world so dark, a world so cold

A world where only some will go (Stay wide awake)

But none return, when will they learn?

Where do they go? God only knows (Stay wide awake, stay wide awake, stay wide awake)
