A x02220
[Chorus]
Em Here to stay
CEven when I'm gone
DWhen I close my eyes
AThrough the passage of time
Em C D AKings never die
[Verse I]
EmI can hear the drummer drumming
CAnd the trumpets, someone's tryna summon someone, I know something's coming
DBut I'm running from it to be standing at the summit
And plummet, how come it wasn't what I thought it was
AWas it, too good to be true?
Have nothing, get it all but too much of it
EmThen lose it again, did I swallow hallucinogens
CCause if not, where the hell did it go?
Cause here I sit in Lucifer’s den by the dutch oven
DJust choosing to sin
AEven if it means I'm selling my soul, just to be the undisputed again
Do whatever I gotta Do just to win
EmCause I got this motherfucking cloud over my head
Crown around it, thorns on it
CCracks in it, bet you morons didn't
Think I'd be back, did ya?
DHow 'bout that I’m somehow now back to the underdog
ABut no matter how loud that I bark,
this sport is something I never bow-wow'd
EmI complain about the game, I shout and I pout, it's a love-hate
CBut I found out that I can move a mountain of doubt
DEven when you bitches are counting me out,
and I appear to be downforthecount
AOnly time I ever been out and about is
driving around town with my fucking whereabouts in a doubt
EmCause I been lost tryna think of
what I did to get here but I'm not a quitter
CGotta get up, give it all I got or give up
DSpit on, shit on, stepped on, but kept going
I'm tryna be headstrong but it feels like I slept on my neck wrong
A
Cause you're moving onto the next, but is the respect gonE?
Cause someone told me that
Em C D(Kings never die)
[Verse II]
ADon't give me that sob story liar, don't preach to the choir
EmYou ain't never even had to reach in the fire to dig deep
CNobody ever handed me shit in life, not even a flyer
Wouldn't even take shit into consideration
DObliterate anyone in the way
I think I see why a lot of rappers get on these
Afeatures and try to show out on a track with me
EmBut it'd actually have to be a fucking blowout to get me to retire
CTell these new artists that kings never die
I know shit has changed in this age, fuck a Twitter page
DDid it just say I've been upstaged?
Why Am I online? It's driving me crazy
AI'm riding shotgun tryna get a gauge
Almost hot, but I'm not gonna' conform
EmWith a stage pass and this shit
And opinions sway, I can hear them say
CIf I stay passionate maybe I can stay Jay miraculous
DComeback as if I went away
But detractors just say so much for the Renegade
ASomeone's gonna make me blow my composure
EmHere I Go again, center stage and I feel like I'm in a cage
Some want a champion to fall
CI still wonder why I laugh at 'em,
cause why care when I'm awesome?
Fuck what these cynics say
DJust goes to show that when my back's against the wall
AAnd I'm under attack again, that I'll act as if I'm posted up
EmWith this pent up rage, cause all these plaques in my office
On the floor stacked against the door
CAre they just metaphors for the odds of when you comin' back again?
DCause all the accomplishments, accolades, awards
AAnd trophies just don't mean jack anymore
If I'm here today and gone tomorrow
And I'm not gonna be
[Chorus]
Em Here to stay
CEven when I'm gone
DWhen I close my eyes
AThrough the passage of time
Em C D AKings never die
[Verse III]
EmI want it, I'm coming to get it
So you son of a bitches don't duck you’re gonna get Riddick Bowe’d
CCritics'll end up in critical,
think your shit is dope all you're gonna get is smoked then
DAnd I'm not stopping until I'm top again, all alone and on a throne
ALike a token of respect, or a homage poem, or an ode I've been owed
Tossed in the air by my own arm,
and launched so hard I broke mycollarbone
And when it's my time to go, I'm still not leaving
Stop for no one, I don't know but I've been told an obstacle that
Blocks your road, knock it over,
time to Go for that pot of gold, cause
[Bridge: Eminem]
They say kings never die
Just ask Jam Master Jay
They just grow wings and they fly
So, hands up, reach for the sky
Try to hold up and prolong these moments
Cause in a blink of an eye
They'll be over
[Verse 4: Eminem]
Tryna secure your legacy like Shakur
And ensure that nobody's ever gonna be what you were
So before you're leaving this Earth
You want people to feel the fury of a pure evil cerebral berserk
Deacon of words, syllable genius at work
Plus I'm thinking that they're mistaking my kindness for weakness,
distill it with meanness
I went from powdered milk to Purina
To flipping burgers on the grill for some peanuts
From Gilbert's to arenas, call me Gilbert Arenas,
still appeal tothedreamers
I made it to the silverscreen where Rocky's still what the theme is
Khalil on the beat cause making
the beat ain’t the same feeling to me as killing the beat is
So fulfilling to me is what filling a seat is
That sound, vomit, thirst and how common underground commons eat
Outsider stomach growl, throbbing hunger
Out-rhyming everyone, God just give me one shot
I swear that I won't let you down
I'mma be around forever, entertain even in the ground
You ain't never gonna hear me say I ain't
