even when i’m gone
when i close my eyes
through the passage of time
kings never die

i can hear the drummer drummin’
and the trumpets someone’s tryna summon someone
i know something’s comin’
but i’m runnin’ from it to be standing at the summit
and plummet how come it wasn’t what i thought it was
was it too good to be true
have nothin’ get it all but too much of it
then lose it again did i swallow hallucinogens
cause if not where the hell did it go
cause here i sit in lucifers den by the dutch oven
just choosing to sin even if it means i’m sellin’ my soul
just to be the undisputed again
do whatever i gotta do just to win
cause i got this motherfuckin’ cloud over my head
crown around it thorns on it
cracks in it bet you morons didn’t think i’d be back did ya
how ’bout that im somehow now back to the underdog
but no matter how loud that i bark
this sport is somethin’ i never bowout at
i complain about the game i shout and i pout it’s a lovehate
but i found out that i can move a mountain of doubt
even when you bitches are countin’ me out
and i appear to be down for the count
only time i ever been out and about
is drivin’ around town with my fuckin’ whereabouts in a doubt
cause i been lost tryna think of what i did to get here
but i’m not a quitter gotta get up give it all i got or give up
spit on shit on stepped on but kept goin’
i’m tryna be headstrong
but it feels like i slept on my neck wrong
cause you’re moving onto the next but is your respect gone
cause someone told me that
gwen stefani
kings never die
eminem
don’t give me that sob story liar don’t preach to the choir
you ain’t never even had to reach in the fire to dig deep
nobody ever handed me shit in life not even a flyer
wouldn’t even take shit into consideration
obliterate anyone in the way
i think i see why a lot of rappers get on these features
and try to show out on a track with me
but it’d actually have to be
a fuckin’ blowout to get me to retire
tell these new artists that kings never die
i know shit has changed in this age fuck a twitter page
did it just say i’ve been upstaged
why am i online it’s driving me crazy
i’m ridin’ shotgun tryna get a gauge
on what’s hot but i’m not one to conform
but as days pass in this shit
and opinions sway i can hear ’em say
if i stay passionate maybe i can stage a miraculous
comeback as if i went away
but detractors just say so much for the renegade
someone’s gonna make me blow my composure
here i go again center stage and i feel like i’m in a cage
they so want a champion to fall
it’s no wonder why i laugh at ’em
cause why can’t we win ’em all
so fuck what these cynics say
it just goes to show that when my back’s against the wall
and i’m under attack again that i’ll act as if i’m ‘posed ta
with this pentup rage cause all these plaques in my office
on the floor stacked against the door
are they just metaphors for the odds of me comin’ back again
cause all the accomplishments accolades awards
and trophies just don’t mean jack anymore
if i’m here today and gone tomorrow and i’m not gonna be
gwen stefani
here to stay
even when i’m gone
when i close my eyes
through the passage of time
kings never die
eminem
i want it i’m comin’ to get it
so you son of a bitches don’t duck
youre gonna get riddick bowed
critics’ll end up in critical
think your shit is dope all you’re gonna get is smoked
and i ain’t stopping ’til i’m on top again
all alone and on a throne like 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 it broke my collarbone
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 ya
knock it over time to go for the pot of gold cause
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 on and prolong these moments
cause in a blink of an eye
they’ll be over
4 eminem
so you’re tryna secure your legacy like shakur
and ensure nobody’s ever gonna be what you were
so before you’re leavin’ 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 thinkin’ that they’re mistakin’ my kindness for weakness kill ’em with meanness
i went from powdered milk and farina
to flippin’ burgers on the grill for some peanuts
at gilbert’s to arenas call me gilbert arenas
still appeal to the dreamers
i made it to the silverscreen
but rocky’s still what the theme is
khalil on the beat cause makin’ the beat
aint the same feelin’ to me as killin’ the beat is
or fulfillin’ to me is what fillin’ a seat is
it’s that soundbombing thirstin howl
common underground diamond d outsidaz
stomach growl throbbin’ hunger outrhymin’ everyone
god just give me one shot i swear that i won’t let you down
i’ma be around foreverandaday even in the ground
you ain’t never ever gonna hear ’em say i ain’t
