Eminem – Legacy Lyrics 9 years ago
I'm going to preface this by saying that this interpretation will sound nuts to most people, but just hear me out. I heard this song about a month ago and it has so profoundly resonated with my own life.. like, I can relate to every single thing he is saying.

Just before I had discovered this song on Pandora, I had been led to research online about spirituality after seeing the numbers 1111 on clocks, receipts, license plates, ect. relentlessly for the past 10 years. I came upon a site that talked about "lightworkers" who are people who are sent to this earth to guide people and act as an inspiration to the lives that they touch. There was a list of characteristics that these people have and I happen to have every single one. Eminem EASILY fits into this into this description as well.

If you're totally lost and confused, just google "new age spirituality", start there.. get on my level. For everyone else, check out the website for yourself : http://www.spiritualitysolutions.com/lightworkers

Now, I know some of you are perplexed about how such a crude, vulgar wankster-rapper could ever possibly be some kind of spiritual light to mankind. Well, it doesn't matter who you are, as long as you are giving to this world in some type of form. Despite some of his tasteless, offensive songs that we associate with Eminem, he has also created many songs that have inspired millions of people. Songs that are about standing up for yourself, believing in yourself, pursuing your dreams, and so on and so forth (most of which are from his most recent albums).

"I used to be the type of kid that would always think the sky is falling
Why am I so differently wired? Am I a martian?
What kind of twisted experiment am I involved in
Because I don't belong in this world"

-If you are keeping up with me and read the lightworker page I posted, you'll notice that one of the characteristics of this type of person is that they "don’t feel like they “fit in” with the majority of the people in the world. Lightworkers feel that that they were different from others, and misunderstood by most people (sadly, often members of their own family)."

Also, him asking if he is a "martian" refers to him knowing in his soul that he is from somewhere else.. just a soul here on this earth with a purpose: "Lightworkers believe they are here for a divine “purpose,” even if they haven’t found out what it is yet"

There's more, bare with me: Lightworkers’ childhood was difficult, painful, and/or lonely.. hmm ring a bell? From what I've gathered in this song is that he had a particularly shitty childhood. (As did I.. got bullied a lot and was a total outcast).

"But I think a light bulb just lit up in my conscience
What about them rhymes I've been jottin'
They're kinda giving me confidence"

-he is beginning to realize his passion that will ultimately lead him to fulfilling his life purpose. (I am currently going through that as an artist. Just as I conveniently found this song)

Also: "Lightworkers’ careers are in creative fields such as art, music, writing, acting, designing jewelry – anything that makes use of inspired creativity and imagination."

Essentially, Eminem is fulfilling his purpose by igniting the spark in others. He is sharing his spiritual journey with you.. to tell you that if you follow your heart, your passion.. it will lead you to a fulfilling life. He wants you to see the world through his eyes. That is his soul purpose of his life. And through doing that. others too will follow their paths. This world is on its way to becoming a better place if we all wake up.

Seriously, have an open mind. I'm confident that the right people will find this. I too, am fulfilling my purpose.

Now that's some deep shit.
