Eminem — A Day Without A Rhyme

[Intro] A day without a rhyme Without a strong rhyme to step to Without a strong rhyme to step to Without a strong rhyme to step to [Verse 1] Step into my world, let the lyrics lead the way It's a place of escape that deviates from the everyday (Uh) A resort of a sort, it's for your mind though So you relax them acts, and me, I let the rhyme flow (Uh) So you can follow it, chew it before you swallow it The lyric is a delicate thing, you shouldn't holler it And yell it (Uh), it's [?], give your lyrics your all But remember one thing, a weak rhyme could be your downfall (Uh) Take it from me (Uh, uh, uh) 'cause I'm a hip hop authority Poetry redemption is our number one priority (Uh) A day without a rhyme is like a day without sunshine How can you unwind without a funky drum line? (Uh) I can't see it, let the Ken Wood kick Why? 'Cause rhyming is my game, and the mic is like a joystick (Uh) I never lose, my lyrics sting like a hornet I get ready for help, this for the town before the storm hits (Uh) [Bridge] (Uh, uh, uh, uh) (Uh, uh, uh, uh) (Uh, uh, uh, uh) (Uh, uh, uh, uh) Without a strong rhyme to step to [Verse 2] Perform is eternal, and in my lifetime I hope I never have to see a day without a rhyme Legendary, the lyrical olympian Merciless and cruel, I rule 'cause I'm the champion Defending my position like a heavyweight fighter A dope rap writer, deadly as a poisonous spider Yeah, no comparison, the women seem mysterious My lyrics work as servants, leaving listeners delirious Under my hypnosis on the edge of their seat It's like a science fiction movie, with groovy hip hop beats So just relax and you'll enjoy the double feature Let my vocals take control of your soul, then let the rolling reach you (Uh) You can't ignore the dance floor anymore The rhymes are mind blowing for the fancy and the hardcore Hip hop lovers who pump it as a past-time The furthest sent from their mind, a day without a rhyme [Chorus] A day without a rhyme Without a strong rhyme to step to A day without a rhyme Without a strong rhyme to step to [Verse 3] Floating atop a growing sea of MC's Liquidating sucker rappers like a fatal disease That's right, I flick lives like boogers from my fingers My assassin has my back, smoking dope just like a gunslinger I'm just a merciless dog, you know the time (Huh) I'd rather die than go a day without a rhyme You see, a lyric is a poet's personal emotion A pocket full of holes, he throws a deep devotion (?) is stretching, keeps the roof constantly running My craftiness and cunning makes the floor [?] so stunning It's as dumb as it can be, there's not an MC who can hang with me They like to battle but they never wanna bang with me 'Cause I'm a real, dirty and dogmatic [?] In fact I'm just a dope rhyme fanatic I like to rock the party every time I get a chance to But on a day without a rhyme what would you dance to? (?) but no, it's nothing like this The drums are death, and my DJ has a crisp twist Larger than life, dear mayor of the new school Flushing rappers out like a motherfucking whirlpool Bloodthirsty, a witch and a boy, yeah The MC destroy your boy, what can I do for you? You don't want me, you'll never survive You'll be eaten alive the very second you are mine So do yourself a favour, save your breath And take a step to me and you'll step into the arms of death And quite frankly, that will be a real slither I rarely use the (?), is it time to feel the flipper, boy? This '89, my rhymes are clicking like clockwork I need a Grammy, so I'm a piece of chalk work (?) entertaining you, I kick fiction But don't be alarmed if you hear a contradiction, that Who's to say what the future might bring? By the grace of Allah, I'll just continue doing my thing Creeping the math, and then that constant movement But do say lyrics that can stand no improvement, so Yo, if you were sleeping, or napping, or waking You know who you are, I guess you're just breathtaking I write the rhyme to strike you like a lightning bolt With every finishing stroke, another rap is smoke So I'm the 'Deej' this year, the microphone musketeer This is the year of the merciless Ameer (Word!) (?), there's no lying in my dialogue 'Cause when I go out, I'm going like a raw dog Well this was fun, I hate to break but I gotta run My homie's landing on my box with the 911 See you next time, but in the meantime Try not to go even a single day without a rhyme [Outro] W-Without a strong rhyme to step to Without a strong rhyme to step to Without a strong rhyme to step to W-Without a strong rhyme to step to A day without a rhyme Yeah, dog, that was dope
