(Chorus)
This one’s for Em, the legend who came back,
From the depths of the struggle to reclaim the rap track,
Rebirth from the pain, yeah, you rose from the ash,
Slim Shady to Recovery, making history last.
(Verse 1)
Yo, it started in Detroit, on the 8 Mile block,
Young Marshall in the booth, spitting truth, non-stop,
From the trailer park life to the lyrical knight,
Turned the mic into a weapon, every verse was a fight.
"The Slim Shady LP," yeah, that changed the whole game,
Raw rhymes, crazy lines, put respect on your name,
But the fame brought the pressure, and the world got dark,
You were lost in the bottle, trying to re-ignite the spark.
(Chorus)
This one’s for Em, the legend who came back,
From the depths of the struggle to reclaim the rap track,
Rebirth from the pain, yeah, you rose from the ash,
Slim Shady to Recovery, making history last.
(Verse 2)
Relapse hit the shelves, but you knew it wasn’t right,
So you battled through the haze, yeah, you stepped to the fight,
“Recovery” was the anthem, man, you came back strong,
Every bar, every beat, every damn song.
Your lyrics hit the soul, man, you tell it so raw,
From the battles in the court to the battles you saw,
Addiction, depression, you took on it all,
Standing tall, King Mathers, never letting you fall.
(Chorus)
This one’s for Em, the legend who came back,
From the depths of the struggle to reclaim the rap track,
Rebirth from the pain, yeah, you rose from the ash,
Slim Shady to Recovery, making history last.
(Verse 3)
Through the highs and the lows, man, you lit up the stage,
Turned your demons into verses, every line on the page,
You’re the voice for the broken, the ones with no name,
From the basement to the top, Em, you changed up the game.
From the "Marshall Mathers LP" to the halls of fame,
Every track that you drop, man, the world feels your pain,
You’re the comeback king, never losing your drive,
With every rhyme, every line, you keep the dream alive.
(Outro)
So here’s to the fighter, the poet, the man,
Eminem, the rap god, who took his own stand,
Rebirth in the beats, reborn in the flow,
From the dark to the light, man, we all watched you grow.
