[Eminem]
 Yo, yo, I start it off, yo, yo
My name is Shady, his name is Proof
Yo, we used to have a roof up on my house
 And now we had a mouse that ate the cheese out of the fridge
Didn't want to admit that I was on welfare when I was three
Plus when I was four, my mother used to leave
 She used to always slam the door and say
"Goodbye, goodbye Marshall, I'm leaving
 I'm single and right now I'm going to mingle at bingo
"Yeah, see you later alligator" is what she said
 And I would always stay at house freezing til I'm dead
 Cause it was cold inside that house we never had no heat
Yo Proof used [bad word] walking up right up the street and be like
 "Yo what up Em? How you doing?"
 I used be like "Yeah man it's good to see you dawg
But my [bad word] cause my mom just left"
 She left my brother Nate and I hate the fact
 We never had no food on our plate
So then Proof said "What up Em?"
 Yo, so I said "Proof won't [bad word] in?"

 [Proof]
 Yeah, [bad word] in what’s up with dat
Tango and Cash
Came to mingle and blast
 Together tougher than Alcatraz prison bars
Driving foreign cars
 Yes it's me and my [bad word]  Black and white, white and ivory and black ebony
 They can't step to me [bad word] and heavenly
They can't see us in the 313 vicinity
 Aiyyo Em, ha, ha, ha, ha

 [Eminem]
What up? Ha, ha, [bad word] like ha, ha
I'm ill like nah, nah
And y'all don't wanna see me because I'm ill with the skill
 And I can grill and I always keep it real
When I built my garage back after it just got burnt down
Sorry that my parents weren't always around
But it was really hectic growing up
 But now I'm blowing up so it don't matter
 Every show I do I'm always showing up
To the club [bad word] as [bad word]  [bad word] as [bad word]  [bad word] as what?
 Can't say that on MTV
But remember it?, little, old, wimpy me
 Who used to always dream be on MTV
 Now you can't see me
I know you remember that rhyme
Ay, wait a minute, yo check it out, I'm about to flatline
 Pass the mic back to Proof, cause we get loose
 We drink gin and juice, sip it cause we always raise the roof

 [Proof]
Aiyyo, aiyyo, we all up in your sight like cataracts
Me and tag team
Beat any of y'all on some battle rap
See us next time we stripping out your Cadillacs
How you like that? Soon you down like a battle axe

 [Eminem]
I'm down like a battle axe
I got a phatter axe to smash
 And I smash your cataracts
 Cause it'a a Cadillacs that I be driving
When I be high off [bad word] vivarin
Now you can't see me cause I'm reviving and surviving in the Every single day in Detroit
 If rappers wanna step to me they better get to the point
Cause they don't understand the way that I do it
 The fluid that I be spittin' is never written
 Cause I'm always, always spitting, cause it...

 [Proof]
 Aiyyo, you make your neck crack like a snare pop
We're fresh and they're not
 So give it up, don't even do this
 You're wack, in fact you get flat-lined
You need practice
We stick you like a cactus
 Nah you're not a guy you're an actress
 The fact is...

 [Eminem]
Here's my address
 This is my old address
And called: a street called Dresden
 Yo, dead president is what I'm resurrecting
 Gotta say "what's up?" to Desmond and J.L.But yo they don't help me do a thing, they never did
When I was a clever kid rhyming
 I always used to go to school
 And climb in the back baseball diamond

 [Proof]
 Hey yo, aboard, hold up
Hurt shoulder
 Peace for Kurt Loder
 Yeah, we're doing an interview
 In a minute or two we're gonna enter in you

 [Eminem]
 In the nude, when we [bad word]  Don't me
