Eminem - Rhyme Or Reason Lyrics
[Verse 1:]
(What's your name?) Marshall
(Who's your daddy?) I don't have one
My mother reproduced like the Komodo Dragon
And had me on the back of a motorcycle
It's like handing a psycho a loaded handgun
Michelangelo with a paint gun in a tantrum
About to explode all over the canvas
Back with the Yoda of rap in a spasm
(Your music usually has them)
(But waned for the game your enthusiasm it hasn't)
(Follow you must, Rick Rubin my little Padawan)
A Jedi in training, colossal brain and, thoughts of entertaining
But docile and impossible to explain and, I'm also vain and
Probably find a way to complain about a Picasso painting
Full of such blind rage I need a seeing eye dog
Can't even find the page, I was writing this rhyme on (oh..)
Its on a rampage, couldn't see what I wrote I write small
(It says) Ever since I drove a 79 Lincoln with white walls
Had a fire in my heart, and a dire desire to aspire, to die hard
So as long as I'm on the clock punching this time card
Hip hop ain't dying on my watch
[Hook:]
But sometimes, when I'm sleeping, she comes to me in my dreams
Is she taken? Is she mine? Don't got, I don't care, don't have two shits to give
Let me take you by the hand, to promise land, and threaten everyone
'Cause there's no rhyme or no reason for nothing
[Bridge:]
Nah, (What's your name?) Marshall
(Who's your daddy?) I don't know him, but I wonder
(Is he rich like me?) Ha ha
(Has he taken, any time, to show you what you need to live?)
NO
[Verse 2:]
If he had, he wouldn't have ended up in these rhymes on my pad
I wouldn't be so mad, my attitude wouldn't be so bad, yeah, dad
I'm the epitome and the prime example of what happens
When the power of the rhyme falls into the wrong hands, and
Makes you want to get up and start dancing
Even if it is Charles Manson who just happens, to be rapping
Blue lights flashing, laughing all the way to the bank
Lamping in my K-Mart mansion, I'm in the style department
With a pile in my cart, ripping the aisle apart
With great power comes absolutely no responsibility, for content
Completely, despondent, and condescending
The king of nonsense and controversy is on a
Beat killing spree, your honor, I must plead
Guilty, 'cause I sparked a revolution
Rebel without a cause, who caused the evolution of rap
To take it to the next level, boost it
But several rebuked it, and whoever produced it
(Hip hop is the devil's music) Is that me? It belongs to me?
'Cause I just happen to be, a white honky devil with two horns
That don't honk but every time I speak you, hear a beep?
But lyrically I never hear a peep, not even a whisper
Rappers better stay clear of me, bitch
'Cause it's the…
[Hook]
It's the time of the season, when hate runs high
And this time I won't give it to you easy
When I take back what's mine, with pleasured hands
And torture everyone, that is my plan, my job here isn't done
'Cause there's no rhyme or no reason for nothing
[Bridge:]
(Whats your name?) Shady
(Who's your daddy?) I don't give a fuck, but I wonder
(Is he rich like me?) Doubt it, ha
(Has he taken, any time, to show you what you need to live?)
[Verse 3:]
So yeah dad let's walk
Let's have us a father and son talk
But I bet we wouldn't probably get one block
Without me knocking your block off
This is all your fault
Maybe that's why I'm so bananas
I appeal to all those walks of life
Whoever had strife
Maybe that's what dad and son talks are like
'Cause I related to the struggles of Young America
When their fucking parents were unaware of their troubles
Now they're ripping out their fucking hair again
It's hysterical, I chuckle
'Cause everybody bloodies their bare knuckles
Yeah, uh oh, better beware knuckle heads
The sign on my hustle says "Don't knock"
The door's broken, it won't lock
It might just fly open, get cold-cocked
You critics come pay to me a visit
Misery loves company, please stay a minute
Kryptonite to a hypocrite
Zip your lip if you dish it but can't take it
Too busy getting stoned in your glass house
To kick rocks, then you wonder why I lash out
Mister Mathers as advertised on the flyers
So spread the word 'cause I'm promoting my passion 'til I'm passed out
Completely brain dead Rainman
Doing the Bankhead in a restraint chair
So bitch, shoot me a look it better be a blank stare
Or get shanked in the pancreas, I'm angrier than
All 8 of the reindeer put together with Chief Keef
'Cause I hate every fucking thing, yeah
Even this rhyme bitch, and quit tryna look
For a fucking reason for it that ain't there
I still am a criminal
Ten year old degenerate grabbing on my genitals
The last Mathers LP done went diamond
This time I'm predicting that this one will go emerald
When will the madness end, how can it when
There's no method the pad and pen
The only message that I have to send
Is "Dad, I'm back at it again."
Bitch (who's your daddy?)

Lyrically genius
He warned em.
"Rappers better stay clear of me bitch"
😂😂
My job here isn't done
This is some fire that got locked away cause it would have changed the scene
Zombies time of the season
This is one of his songs that fell through the cracks and its sad because this particular song really shows off his lyrical ability. Have a listen Nick Cannon! You really dont have shit on em. No one does. This fool can rhyme 5 syllable words all day long. Most rappers cant rhyme 2 syllable words more than once or twice. Do not challenge Em to a rap battle.
Who's your daddy? - I DONT HAVE ONE
Ppl Trashed This Album ..

Dope 👑👊✌🏻
I just love this song he’s funny, angry and sad .all of his personalities .
You’ve got to love him 💞💞it’s such a shame he couldn’t forgive

Sorry for your loss Em!
this "what's your name? Marshall" gives me goosebumps.
Rest in peace Bruce real hero’s to these kids Like M teach so much love and respect not too .
Critiques: Relapse was cringe
Me: Ok fine maybe some songs were irritating
Critiques: Recovery is whack
Me: Well tbh It's not that bad
Critiques: mmlp2 is trash
Me: *cocks gun*
This song is by far one of my favorites. I don't understand how people can ever dislike this album. If ur only into mmlp or sllp stuff, then crawl into a ditch, imagine it's a time machine, and never come back to the open. MMLP2 is emerald
Relapse was a great concept but some songs were not neccessary Recovery was alright MMLP2 was fantastic
Relapse was very good in my opinion but I'm glad that he didn't make relapse 2 and went with recovery because it could've been disastrous. Concept albums like relapse should mostly be a one-off thing because you'll basically be saying the same things in the sequel as well so it's better to go with something new. I also appreciate the direction he took with recovery; eminem was just adapting with time, it wasn't as bad of an album as critics made it out to be. And mmlp2 was fantastic but I've noticed that there's a prevailing sentiment all over the internet of calling anything that Eminem does trash. People didn't have a problem with MMLP2 but as time passed, the hate began and was amplified by revival. Eminem has been trash for over a decade is some bullshit revisionist history. His only "bad" album was revival, mainly because it had a lot of songs that shouldn't have been there and a couple of other things. And kamikaze was a good, enjoyable album with fantastic rapping but it doesn't have much longevity besides a couple of songs because its whole theme was one dimensional. But I don't care because kamikaze and killshot were entertaining as fuck and now I'm more interested in what Eminem has to do than I've ever been
How's here after his dad die💔
RIP to Em's dad :(
Who's here after hearing that Eminem's father passed?
That s not fair ok key is when you or i try to open what was made lock proof know you i do o not ya me like the back of my hand aint thay days view drawing days today place one or a teacher professor and the lost student that has a pass knowing the road is hard drive and heart soul for my god cause earth case has days decades while time grip seems that i have getting go far with noble talking observations all creation output for centuries earning you will know
Uploaded 2014 and only just now nearly 1M... A shit song will probably be released tomorrow and get over 5M
Your prediction came true, Little Mix Bounce Back has 5.8 Million views, while this barely has around 2 Million.
This track is so good, mmlp2 was peak technical lyricism. Eminem should choose more psychedelic type rock beats instead of normal ones. Not only do they increase longevity but it complements his newer style a lot more
It’s things like this that make me semi-glad for being named after him
this is the type of bullshit they'll try to teach you between all that fundraising. HaHa
Slim shady made shit of all pretty things again
Holy fuck, this has got to be my new favorite song of his!
So yo no
Eminem Ft Marshall Mathers and Slim Shady - Rhyme or Reason
Last verse is just pure fire haha
You can't reason with the terminators, hence why I stay away from them. A bunch of crazy-makers. It's like talking to a brick wall.
hmm might of Forgot to punch the time card bc Rap now is Bad
This is fucking fire.
So bitch SHOOT me a look it better be a BLANK stare. Smh too easy for the man
Eminem is great when he sings about Star Wars or when he explains things .
How are you gonna bite Black Hippy this hard
is this a jackson diss 5 years erly?...
true
How does he do this?!
Loving it 😍💙
Rhyme or Reason - Eminem ft Yoda
(0:25)
And MGK though he could take him on :') god bless his soul
Well I have a dad but not a mom. That has to count for something
FUCK DADS!
1. The Eminem show
2. Mmlp2
3.mmlp
I know most people would rank the mmlp over mmlp2 and I get why, it’s his most iconic album and it was so shocking at that time. But I wasn’t around when mmlp came out, I discovered Eminem when the second one was released so for me it ranks above the mmlp
The Burger King
For me it should be
1.) Revival
2.) Kamikaze
3.) The Eminem Show
4.) MMLP2
5.) SSLP
I still remembering listening to MMLP2 for the first time after purchasing it. Had been awhile since i heard from him, but when this track came on i was like yea, still got it!
paster troy
pasted troy
paster troys
I actually liked MMlP2 not sure if its because I'm a diehard Eminem fan. But the revival was trash. Kamikaze was full of bars but didn't really have any songs and wasn't a real album. I hope the next album he makes absolutely slaughters.
Ok that’s cool actually, hey Can I ask you for some advice
@John Reid so what ya say about giving me some advice
@Crypted z what would you like advice on?
Well this girl asked me to prom and I don't know her, like I knew she excited just didn't know her, and it's her senior year so it's her last chance and she keeps getting rejected and I feel bad and I think it could be fun. What do you think I should do
@Crypted z You answered your own question you literally listed one reason not to go "you don't know her" and thats not even a reason. You don't know Jennifer Lawrence but I bet you'd go with her. The only reason for you not to go is if your too old lmao.
Very sad childhood
Shanna ho
I love how he took Time Of the Season and turned it into a masterpiece that honors the OG and it’s also great by itself
2:41 fuck me... 11/10
"This is his most underrated song" I can see this comment on most of his songs. Thats why he is the greatest ARTIST of all time.
1st verse: Eminem with a little bit of Slim
2nd verse: Marshall with a little more Slim
3rd verse: 100% Stan
2:16 "With great power comes
Absolutely no responsibility for content" i love that line
Me as well
Fleetwood Mac!!!
Definitely the time of season😎🌎🍁🥀⚡☢🔥🌧🌚🌟🛸
Who listening in 2018
I only sing the hook 😂
I don't mean to disrespect, but i have curiousity towards eminem.
1. When he lives in trailer, after taking a shit, did he wash his asshole occasionally?
2. When he lives in trailer, has he ever observe his asshole and cry from loneliness and inferiority complex?
fat ass samples damn
No rhyme or reason.... But 4yrs later... He's took her by the hand and led her to the promise Land... Thank you slim for taking her back
Never though the only thing my life was missing was Eminem rapping as yoda
Chief keef
Who ' s your daddy ?
Do not forget the Darth Vader breathing in the song . . .
Maybe Darth Vader can be the father of Marshal Mathers . . .
you know the song that you always skip but actually is Lit when you didn't skip it... yeah this song is it for me... man.. i always skip it just cause the beat but man..... ain't gonna skip any of Ems songs now...
a zombies beat and eminem on it muders it proves hes the best
It's a nice love song.
Cookie Monster!! Roboto? Bear? Cici? OMG, you're A.K.?
As long as I'm on the clock punching this time card hip hop ain't dying on my watch" he wasn't lying in 2018
I betrue my life everyday non-stop!!!
Really didn't like this album when it released but now It's starting to grow on me. And if you know this is a remix you can appreciate it a little more.
Who wouldve thought that dead beat dads would make successful kids.😁
