This is survival of the fittest
This is do or die
This is the winner takes it all
So take it all, a-all, a-all, a-all
[Verse 1: Eminem]
Wasn't ready to be no millionaire, I was ill-prepared
I was prepared to be ill though, the sk** was there
From the beginning, it wasn't 'bout the ends
It was 'bout busting raps
And standing for something; f**in' acronym
Cut the f**ing act like you're happy, I'm f**in' back again
With another anthem, why stop when it doesn't have to end?
It ain't over 'til I say it's over – enough when I say enough
Throw me to them wolves and close the gate up
I'm afraid of what'll happen to them wolves, when the thought
Of being thrown into an alligator pit, I salivate at it, wait is up
Hands up like it's 12 noon
Nah, homie, hold them b**hes straighter up
Wave 'em 'til you dislocate a rotator cuff, came up rough
Came to ruffle feathers, nah, egos, I ain't deflate enough
Last chance to make this whole stadium erupt, ‘cause…

[Verse 2: Eminem]
I can see the finish line with each line that I finish
I'm so close to my goals
I can almost pole vault over the goal post
And if I don't got enough in the tank
Maybe I can just siphon enough
To fill up this last can
Man, will I survive in this climate or what?
They said I was washed up, and got a blood bath
I'm not a rapper, I'm an adapter – I can adjust
Plus, I can just walk up to a mic and just bust
So, floor's open if you'd like to discuss
Top 5 in this mothaf**a, and if I don't make the cut, what?
Like I give a f**
But I light this b**h up like I'm driving a truck
Through the side of a pump, 0 to 60, hop in and gun it
Like G-Unit without the hyphen, I'm hyping 'em up
And if there should ever come a time where my life's in a rut
And I look like I might just give up, eh, might've mistook
Me for bowing out I ain't taking a bow
I'm stabbing myself with a f**ing knife in the gut
While I'm wiping my bu*t
‘Cause I just sh**ted on the mic and I like getting cut
I get excited at the sight of my blood
You're in a fight with a nut
‘Cause I'ma fight 'til I die or win, biting the dust
It'll just make me angrier; wait, let me remind you of what
Got me this far, picture me quitting
Now draw a circle around it and put a line through it, s*ut!
It's survival of what?

[Verse 3: Eminem]
So get your ideas, stack your ammo
But don't come unless you come to battle
Now mount up, jump in the saddle
This is it – it's what you eat, sleep, piss and sh**
Live, breathe, your whole existence just consists of this
Refuse to quit, fuse is lit, can't defuse the wick
If I don't do this music sh**, I'll lose my sh**
Ain't got sh** to lose, it's the moment of truth
It's all I know how to do
As soon as I get thrown in a booth, I spit
But my respect is overdue, I'm showing you the flow no one do
‘Cause I don't own no diploma for school, I quit
So there's nothing for me to fall back on, I know no other trade
So you better trade your f**ing mics in for some tool-box-es
‘Cause you'll never take my pride from me
It'll have to be pried from me
So pull out your pliers and your screwdrivers
But I want you to doubt me, I don't want you to buh-lieve
‘Cause this is something that I must use to succeed
And if you don't like me, then f** you!
Self-esteem must be f**ing shooting through-the-roof
‘Cause trust me
My skin is too thick and bullet proof to touch me
I can see why the f** I disgust you
I must be allergic to failure, ‘cause everytime I come close to it
I just sneeze, but I just go at you then a-chieve!
