Almost Famous Lyrics
(Intro)
I can almost taste it
This shit makes no sense to me
What does it all mean
I can almost taste it
I can almost save it
This shit makes no sense to me
What does it all mean
I can almost taste it
(Eminem)
Yeah, I can't stop now,
This maybe be the last chance I get,
To be famous
(Chorus)
You dream of trading places,I have been changing faces
You can not fill these shoes,There is too much too lose.
Wake up behind these trenches,You run around defenseless.
There is too much too lose,You can not fill these shoes
I just want to be Famous,
But, Be careful what you wish for!
(Verse 1)
I stuck my dick in this game like a rapist
They call me Slim Roethlisberger
I go bezerker than a fed-up post-office worker
A merk her with a Mossberg
I'm pissed off get murdered
Like someone took a ketchup squirter
Squirted a frankfurter
For a gangster you shoulda shit your pants
When you saw the chainsaw get to waving
Like a terrible towel
I faced her around
But his fangs come out
Get your brains blown out
That's what I call blowing your mind
When I come back
Like nut on your spine
I'm a thumb tack
That you slept on son
Now here I come screaming attack like I just stepped on one
Low on the totem till he showed 'em
Defiance, giant scrotum
He don't owe them bitches shit
His britches, he out grow'd em
He's so out cold he's knocked out of the South Pole
And nobody fucks with him
Rigamortis and post-mortem
He's dying of boredom
Take your best rhymes, record 'em
Then try to flaunt 'em
He'll just take your punch lines and snort 'em
Shit stained drawers
You gon fuck with a guy who licks the blades of his chainsaws
While he dips 'em in P.F. Chang's sauce
Game's up, homie, hang it up like some crank calls
You think I'm backing down you must be out of your dang skulls
He's almost famous
(Chorus)
You dream of trading places,I have been changing faces
You can not fill these shoes,There is too much too lose.
Wake up behind these trenches,You run around defenseless.
There is too much too lose,You can not fill these shoes
I just want to be Famous,
But, Be careful what you wish for!
(Verse 2)
I'm back for revenge
I lost a battle that ain't happening again
I'm at your throat like strep
I step, strapped with a pen
Metaphors wrote on my hand,
Someone distorted my mint
Read some I wrote on a napkin
I do what I have to to win
Pull at it all stops, any who touch a mic prior's
Not even Austin Powers, how the fuck are they Mike Meyers
And tell that psycho to pass the torch
To the whack before I take a shit in his Jack-O-Lantern
And smash it on his porch
Now get off my dick
Dick's too short a word for my dick
Get off my antidisestablishmentarianism, you prick
You call me the champ; call me the space shuttle destroyer
I just blew up the challenger, matter fact I need a lawyer
I displaced my clause with enough plaster
To make a cast beat his ass naked and peed in his corner like Verne Troyer
You're the Eminem backwards, you're mini-me
See he's in a whole nother weight class
He smokes your BB's you beat back bullets
You're full of it; you were just in his CD's
Left at Infinite, now he's back like someone pissed in his wheaties
No peace treaties, he's turned into a beast
His new Slim Shady EP's got the attention of the mighty D. R. E
He's almost famous
(Chorus)
You dream of trading places,I have been changing faces
You can not fill these shoes,There is too much too lose.
Wake up behind these trenches,You run around defenseless.
There is too much too lose,You can not fill these shoes
I just want to be Famous,
But, Be careful what you wish for!
(Verse 3)
Now there he goes in Dre's studio cuppin his balls
Screaming the wood off the panel
And cussing the paint off the walls
Spewing his hate to these haters, showing no love for these brauds
He ain't given them shit, he says he'll pinch a penny so hard
He'll leave a bruise on the bronze so dark you can see the mark
With the scars, till Abraham Lincoln is screaming out AHH
These metaphors and similes ain't similar to them, not at all
If they don't like it, they can all get fucked instead of sucking him off
They can go get a belt or a neck tie, to hang themselves by
Like David Carradine they can go fuck themselves and just die
And eat shit while they at it
He's fucking had it, he's mad at the whole world
So go to hell and build a snowman girl
The bullies become bullied, the pussies get pushed
Then they better pull me, take me back to 9th grade to school me
Cus I ain't looking back, only forward, this whole spot blowing
Who coulda known he'd grow to be a poet and not know it
And while I'm being poetic let me get a stoic and raise the bar
Higher than my opinion of these winners and lords
So bare witness to some biblical shit
As a cold wind blowing this world ain't gonna know what hit it
He did it, he made it, he's finally famous
This shit makes no sense to me
What does it all mean
I can almost taste it
I can almost save it
This shit makes no sense to me
What does it all mean
I can almost taste it
This maybe be the last chance I get,
To be famous
You can not fill these shoes,There is too much too lose.
Wake up behind these trenches,You run around defenseless.

When Eminem said this line: "Dick's too short a word for my dick Get off my antidisestablishmentarianism" I thought to myself, why do all these other rappers exist!! lol.
Ditto. I heard that I was was like "oh my fucking god.. did he really just do that..." Anyone who can use "antidisestablishmentarianism" in a rap, and make it sound so natural, should automatically be crowned the god of rap for all eternity, imo. The flow was so perfect, I was just sitting there dumbfounded, thinking "well wtf, why didn't someone do that before?"

Lyrically, this man, sorry, forgive me, this god, is completely untouchable, on a level so much higher than every other musician out there can't even comprehend it.

Only question it...
Only question it ask now is how many Grammies is this album taking home?
beat is just insane on this one, pure agression and ill lyricism, fires me up btw its "while he dips them in p.f. chang's sauce"
"Slim Rothelsberger" haha funny. love the references to infinite, ssep, sslp. who does the hook and where did that come from?! one of the best of the album imo
I should have also mentioned that the final missing lyrics are "And raise the bar higher than my opinion of these women BELOW IT"
Postal worker- Post office worker Should of shit your pants- Sure did shit your pants terrible dial- terrible towel I faced her around- How things turn around Lowering the totem- Low on the totem Some are distorting my memory- Some are just stored in my memory Panelling, cussing- Panel and cussing He's scissor pinch a penny so hard- He says he'll pinch a penny so hard Like David Carridy- David Carradine Higher than my opinion of these women below it- Higher than my opinion of these women's been lowered

Those are all the mistakes and there corrections, that is an amazing song though. Cinderella man ain't half bad either.

Just to add on to the list:
Just to add on to the list:
He smokes your BB's you beat back bullets-He's slugs your BB's Your Bean Bag Bullets
He smokes your BB's you beat back bullets-He's slugs your BB's Your Bean Bag Bullets
a bruise on the brawn- Bruise on the bronze
Okay, thats the last one
"The chainsaw get to waving like a terrible dial"
like said above it's terrible TOWEL. like the ben roethlisberger reference, this is another steelers plug. em is actually a steelers fan
this chorus is kind of creepy too, but so freaking cool sounding.
"If they don't like they can all get fucked, instead of sucking him off They can go get a belt or a neck tie, to hang themselves by Like David Carradine, they can go fuck themselves and just die"
"If they don't like they can all get fucked, instead of sucking him off They can go get a belt or a neck tie, to hang themselves by Like David Carradine, they can go fuck themselves and just die"
DAMNNNN
DAMNNNN
That's one of my favourite parts of the album right thereXD

What's with those senseless 'get a stoic' and 'get historic'? Maybe that'll be 'get IT stoic' after all. And I seriously think it could be 'I can almost SAVOUR it' instead of 'SAVE it' at the beginning.
Is that Katie Perry singing the chorus? It sounds like her
Gee, what a song! Don't really get what it is about but there are some epic lyrics i nthere! Got goosebumps at that: "Ya'll are Eminem backwards, you're mini-me's" GENIUS!
ANd of course at the antidisestablishmentarianism one LOL
