Eminem - The Ringer Lyrics






[*plane crashing*]

Yeah, yo I'm just gonna write down my first thoughts and see where this takes me, 'cause I feel like I wanna punch the world in the fuckin' face right now

Yeah, let me explain just how to make greatness
Straight out the gate, I'm 'bout to break it down
Ain't no mistakes allowed, but make no mistake I'm 'bout
To rape the alphabet, I may raise some brows
If I press the issue just to get the anger out (brrr)
Full magazine could take Staples out
Savage, but ain't thinkin' 'bout no bank account
But, bitch, I'm off the chain like Kala Brown

Motherfucker, shut the fuck up when I'm talkin', lil' bitch
I'm sorry, wait, what's your talent?
Oh, critiquin' my talent?
Oh, bitch, I don't know who the fuck y'all are
To give a sub-par bar, even have an opinion or view
You mention me, millions of views, attention in news
I mention you, lose-lose for me, win-win for you
Billions of views, your ten cents are two
Skim through the music to give shit reviews
To get clicks, but, bitch, you just lit the fuse
Don't get misconstrued, business as us'
Shit-list renewed so get shit to do
Or get dissed 'cause I just don't get what the fuck half the shit is that you're listenin' t-to
Do you have any idea how much I hate this choppy flow
Everyone copies though? Probably no
Get this fuckin' audio out my Audi yo, adios
I can see why people like Lil Yachty, but not me though
Not even dissin', it just ain't for me
All I am simply is just an MC
Maybe "Stan" just isn't your cup of tea
(Get it)
Maybe your cup's full of syrup and lean
Maybe I need to stir up shit
Preferably shake the world up if it were up to me
Paul wants me to chill, y'all want me to ill
I should eat a pill, probably I will
Old me killed the new me, watch him bleed to death
I breathe on the mirror, I don't see my breath
Possibly I'm dead, I must be possessed
Like an evil spell, I'm E-V-I-L (evil, but spelled)

Jam a Crest Whitestrip in the tip of my dick with an ice pick
Stick it in a vice grip, hang it on a spike fence
Bang it with a pipe wrench
While I take my ballsack and flick it like a light switch
Like vice-president Mike Pence
Back up on my shit in a sidekick as I lay it on a spike strip

These are things that I'd rather do than hear you on a mic
Since nine-tenths of your rhyme is about ice and
Jesus Christ, man, how many times is someone gonna fuck on my bitch?
(Fuck my side chick!)

You won't ever see Em icy, but as cold as I get on the M-I-C
I polarize shit so the Thames might freeze
And your skull might split like I bashed you upside it
Bitch, I got the club on smash like a nightstick (yeah)

Turn down for what? I ain't loud enough
Nah, turn the valium up!
'Cause I don't know how I'm gonna get your mouths to shut
Now, when it doesn't matter what caliber I spit at
I'll bet a hundred thousand bucks
You'll turn around and just be like, "Man, how the fuck sourpuss gonna get mad just 'cause his album sucks?
And now he wants to take it out on us"
(ooh-ooh)

But last week, an ex-fan mailed me a copy
Of The Mathers LP to tell me to study
It'll help me get back to myself and she'll love me (ooh-ooh)
I mailed the bitch back and said if I did that
I'd just be like everyone else in the fucking industry
Especially an effing Recovery clone of me

So finger-bang, chicken wang, MGK, Igg' Azae'
Lil Pump, Lil Xan imitate Lil Wayne
I should aim at everybody in the game, pick a name
I'm fed up with being humble
And rumor is I'm hungry, I'm sure you heard bumblings
I heard you wanna rumble like an empty stomach
I heard your mumblin' but it's jumbled in mumbo-jumbo
The era that I'm from will pummel you
That's what it's comin' to
What the fuck you're gonna do when you run into it?
I'm gonna crumble you and I'll take a number two
And dump on you if you ain't Joyner
If you ain't Kendrick or Cole or Sean then you're a goner
I'm 'bout to bring it to anyone in this bitch who want it
I guess when you walk into BK you expect a Whopper
You can order a Quarter Pounder when you go to McDonald's
But if you're lookin' to get a porterhouse you better go get Revival
But y'all are acting like I tried to serve you up a slider
Maybe the vocals should have been auto-tuned
And you would have bought it
But sayin' I no longer got it
'Cause you missed a lot and never caught it
'Cause it went over your head, because you're too stupid to get it
'Cause you're mentally retarded, but pretend to be the smartest
With your expertise and knowledge, but you'll never be an artist
And I'm harder on myself than you could ever be regardless
What I'll never be is flawless, all I'll ever be is honest
Even when I'm gone they're gonna say I brought it
Even when I hit my forties like a fuckin' alcoholic
With a bottle full of malt liquor
But I couldn't bottle this shit any longer
The fact that I know that I'ma hit my bottom
If I don't pull myself from the jaws of defeat and rise to my feet
I don't see why y'all even started with me
I get in beefs, my enemies die
I don't cease fire 'til at least all are deceased
I'm east side, never be caught slippin'
Now you see why I don't sleep
Not even a wink, I don't blink
I don't doze off, I don't even nod to the beats
I don't even close my fuckin' eyes when I sneeze

"Aw, man! That BET cypher was weak, it was garbage
The Thing ain't even orange—oh my God, that's a reach!"
Shout to all my colorblind people, each and every one of y'all
If you call a fire engine green, aquamarine
Or you think water is pink
"Dawg, that's a date," "Looks like an olive to me"
"Look, there's an apple!" "No it's not, it's a peach!"

So finger-bang, Pootie Tang
Burger King, Gucci Gang, dookie, dang
Charlamagne gonna hate anyway
Doesn't matter what I say
Give me Donkey of the Day
What a way for 2018 to get underway
But I'm gonna say everything that I wanna say
Welcome to the slaughterhouse, bitch! (yeah)
Invite them in like a One A Day
I'm not done (preach)
'Cause I feel like the beast of burden
That line in the sand, was it even worth it?
'Cause the way I see people turning's
Is makin' it seem worthless
It's startin' to defeat the purpose
I'm watchin' my fan base shrink to thirds
And I was just tryin' to do the right thing, but word
Has the court of public opinion reached a verdict
Or still yet to be determined?
'Cause I'm determined to be me, critiqued or worshiped
But if I could go back I'd at least reword it
And say I empathize with the people this evil serpent
Sold the dream to that he's deserted

But I think it's workin'
These verses are makin' him a wee bit nervous
And he's too scurred to answer me with words
'Cause he knows that he will lyrically get murdered
But I know at least he's heard it
'Cause Agent Orange just sent the Secret Service
To meet in person to see if I really think of hurtin' him
Or ask if I'm linked to terrorists
I said, "Only when it comes to ink and lyricists"
But my beef is more media journalists
(Hold up, hold up, hold up…)
I said my beef is more meaty, a journalist
Can get a mouthful of flesh
And, yes, I mean eating a penis
'Cause they been pannin' my album to death
So I been givin' the media fingers
Don't wanna turn this to a counseling sesh
But they been puttin' me through the ringer
So, I ain't ironin' shit out with the press
But I just took this beat to the cleaners

    Come on every eminem song is a straight masterpiece now whose with me....

  4. T.... L....

    Fall~200 million
    Killshot~350 million
    *Ringer~5million*
    *Not Alike~4 million*
    *Greatest~3 million*
    Seems bit too less. Whatup people???
    Kamikaze was a crazy album. Top 4 for me all time.

  7. Y.... E....

    Eminem literally hit hyper speed and went beyond the hyperbole with his lyricism and wordplay.

  8. o.... ....

    turn the valium up pls

  9. V.... _....

    Don't you dare to mess with NF

  10. L.... C....

    Goat bruh🎤🎵🎶💪🔥🔥🔥💯

  11. R.... M....

    3:23...begin systematic destruction of the rap game ...
    See full albulm of music to be murdered by for complete results

  12. R.... M....

    The only reason Eminem has lungs is because he needs to donate them to MGK when he tries to rap as fast as em.

  13. J.... G....

    Is em my landlord then how would I no I'm crazy I talk to shit that ain't there finger bang anyone it's an offer you can be number one I'll be number two your a piss stain and I'm a giant turd sack

  14. A.... T....

    Eminem published The Ringer Song
    Lil Pump left the chat :P

  15. A.... T....

    RAP G.O.A.T

  16. S.... ....

    Anyone else hearing "how many times is someone gonna f*** a mic b****?" Instead of "how many times is someone gonna f*** on my b****?"

  17. E.... o....

    Whats wrong with me or why there isn’t the original ringer by eminem in youtube

  18. H.... T....

    Whenever i play this song and hear the words "the era i come from will pummel you" i always imagine all these OGs who are still in the game making a 15-20 minute long diss on those mumblers and like, one after another going out on stage and spitting. That would maybe be the most epic shit I would see in my life.

  19. m.... ....

    He's simply a living legend... been a fan since 1999.

  20. G.... C....

    MGK will go down in history as the guy who pissed off Eminem to levels not usually seen in him. Also as the only one who attacked him with an exclusive diss track, and as the one who named his daughter (and more than once) both in tweets and in songs without Eminen managing to end his career... as he had already sentenced him in his famous Killshot in September 2018.

  21. M.... M....

    This shit is rap on steroids

  22. M.... T....

    The “rape the alphabet , I might raise some browse” was absolutely idiotic. In a good way. Em you’re genius so talented GG!

  23. J.... ....

    rapped to this first attempt messed up a little on the fast part

  24. O.... ....

    I love how he weaves his lyrics. There is what you hear and immediately hits you. Then there is the "aftermath" of what you just heard, and the initial impact, turns into 2, 3, or more meanings and purposes of why he said or how he says what he does. He's like a mad lyric scientists. You can dissect what he spits its f*ck*ng anatomically purposed to mind f*ck people. It's absolutely genius and incredible. Most of us won't ever or even be able to comprehend what he is meaning to interpret. On some real SH*T...

  25. C.... S....

    The Ringer or Premonition

  26. D.... D....

  49. O.... G....

    God: Eminem you are the best at rapping. Eminem:no I ain’t I’m a god bit#h.( sings the ringer)

  50. Z.... B....

    😂😂😂😂😂

  51. C.... C....

    fuck lil pump and lil xan

  52. S.... G....

    "An effing recovery clone of me"
    NF-ing recovery CLONE of me
    God damn he dissed NF too? Why??

    S.... G....

    People were comparing NF to him, so he's telling NF "know your place". Essentially saying "dont get ahead of yourself, we're not on the same level. You couldn't compete w/ me if you tried."

    S.... G....

    This song makes me not like eminem

  53. b.... ....

    If Em is on your song, you're the feature.

    b.... ....

    Go listen to every song he's on with Lloyd banks then if you believe what u just said

  54. r.... r....

    this tune is soo underated - its a masterpiece

  55. B.... S....

    Lil pump facing eminem is like a Pitt bull facing a leopard

  56. p.... ....

    "You wont ever see Em icy,
    But as cold as i get on the M I C"
    It was at this point, i was i began to pay attention. Holy shit! His word play is on a completely different level that cant be reached without a cheat code. Im saying, if you went to his house, the only book youd find are dictionaries, thesaurus, and encyclopedia britannicas.

    p.... ....

    Word play nice but Lloyd banks better at it and more lyrical

    p.... ....

    Straws The Plk lol stfu idiot

    p.... ....

    Or he just uses his phone or computer... lmao

    p.... ....

    LL.Banks is super dope, but nah Straws... nahhhh.

  57. H.... ....

    Eminem is like Jason...




    Pops up once a year to murder everyone.

  58. T.... ....

    Eminem never disappoints

  59. R.... L....

    The Thames River hasn't frozen in over two hundred years. That's a solid reference, Em. One for us nerddsss.

  60. C.... S....

    Rap God is almost at 1 Billion views!

  61. B.... G....

    So he’s talking about guys drinking lean when he rapped about doing coke, Meth, Heroin, pain pills ??? This dude is such a dam hater smh acting like all of his music he put out had great content. What about ya rape songs ??

  62. c.... ....

    Yo, if that shit about a fan mailing him the Mathers LP and him mailing her back saying what he says here he said is true, he truly is a fuckin baller.

  63. m.... c....

    Rap like gasm and I'm currently having boners

  64. W.... F....

    *So Finger-bang, Chicken Wang, MGK, Igg' Azae', Lil Pump, Lil Xan imitate Lil Wayne I should aim at everybody in the game, pick a name!🔥🔥🔥*
