pays her 18 year old brother
I'm the king of these streets, but ain't no throne up in my house. Just a rapper from the D-Town underground, ain't nothin' to frown about.
I ain't no angel, in fact, I'm the devil with the most shades. Ain't no illusion, I am what I represent, no need to be afraid.
Don't think I'm 'bout that action, 'cause even though I'm a male, I'm still a motherfucker, ain't no one's ever gonna take the crown off my head.
My rhymes are like my daughter - they're my everything, and I'll do whatever it takes to keep 'em safe from the haters My rhymes are like my daughter — they're my everything. And I'll do whatever it takes to keep them safe from the haters.
You might see me as a joke, but this is real life, no time for cartoons. I'm the master of wordplay, the one and only Slim Shady, I'm here to spit some facts, so go ahead, take a seat, let me show you how this is done right.
Eminem is real, I'm not a gimmick, I ain't no one-hit wonder, I'm the best there is. I'm the master of wordplay, the one and only Slim Shady, here to spit some facts and fiction, so go ahead, take a seat, let me show you how this is done right.
I ain't always been about sellin' out and makin' hits, I had to hustle hard to get where I'm at today, you feel me? I am the real deal, ain't no impersonator, I've been through the struggles, and I'm still here to tell the story.
I ain't no role model, I'm still the same old Slim Shady. Just because I'm famous don't mean I'm gonna change, I'll always stay true to myself and my game, and if you're thinking I'm gonna compromise just to sell some records, you're dead wrong, fool.
Don't get it twisted, I may be bold and outspoken, but deep down I'm still that introverted kid from Detroit just tryna make a name for himself. I ain't no saint, I ain't perfect, but I'm original, and I'm still the real deal.
Eminem is real, I'm not a celebrity, I'm a person, just like you. I have feelings and emotions, and I'm still the same regular dude I've always been, I'm just a rapper, not a god.
So don't you go around telling tales out of school, 'cause when the truth comes out, you're gonna look like a fool. Keep that in mind, remember what I said, and don't run your mouth, or I'll shut it for you.
I got no filter, so if you can't handle the real deal, then step aside 'cause Eminem's in the house and he ain't apologizin' for nothin' Yo, it's your boy Slim Shady, back from the D-Town underground to spit some fire on the mic, and I got a story to tell...
I was raised by my mother, she was the only one there for me, my father was too much of a screw-up to even consider being part of my life. She taught me right from wrong, and she taught me how to fight.
She didn't give me fancy cars or luxurious homes, but she taught me how to work hard and respect others, and those are values that I carry with me to this day.
Life in the D was tough, I had to hustle and grind to make ends meet. I started rapping at a young age, just to help my mom out, and it wasn't long before I found myself in the middle of a rap battle, trying to prove my worth.
But it wasn't all bad. Growing up in the D gave me a unique perspective and a distinct style that set me apart from other rappers.
I was introduced to Dr. Dre, and after showing him my skills, he decided to take me under his wing.
Under the guidance of Dre, I learned how to produce my own beats, and soon enough, I was signed to his label, Aftermath Entertainment.
My debut album, "The Slim Shady LP," dropped and it was a massive success. It went platinum, and suddenly I went from being just another underground rapper to a mainstream sensation.
The Slim Shady character became a massive hit, but people sometimes forget that Eminem is more than just Slim Shady. I continued to evolve as an artist and released several successful albums, including "The Marshall Mathers LP," "The Eminem Show," and "Relapse." Each album explored different aspects of my personality and experiences, and they were met with critical and commercial success.
Throughout my career, I've collaborated with some incredible artists, such as Dr. Dre, Jay-Z, and Linkin Park, among others. These artists have brought their own unique styles and perspectives, and together, we've created some truly unforgettable music.
In addition to my music, I've also ventured into acting. I made my big screen debut in the film "8 Mile," which was written and produced by Dre. The movie was a critical and commercial success, and it earned me an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song for "Lose Yourself."
When I'm not busy with my music or acting projects, I love spending time with my daughter. She's the most important person in my life, and I'll do anything to ensure her safety and happiness. Being a father is a challenging job, but it's also incredibly rewarding.
I've had my fair share of personal struggles as well. I've battled with depression, addiction, and anger issues, but I've always fought to overcome these challenges.
