Open Mic [Croatian translation]

[Intro]

Hey yo, what's up, man?

Hey yo, you been here all day, man

Y'all been here every weekend, man

I don't ever get a chance to rap first, man!

That's 'cause you wack!

What?!? I ain't wack, nigga, I got some raps for all y'all

Nigga, my raps fresh, I'ma bust my raps first

You can bust yours after me if you want to

No, no, man, I'm goin' first

I'm gettin' tired of everybody wantin' to go first, man

You always rap first, I'm rappin'

I don't care what none of y'all say; I'm fresh, I'm fresh

[Hook: Thyme]

Ayo, who the fuck passed you the mic

And said that you can flow?

Point him out! Man, I wanna know

Who the fuck passed you the mic

And said that you can flow?

"I wanna know, I wanna know"

I said who the fuck passed you the mic

And said that you can flow?

Point him out! Bitch, I wanna know

Who the fuck passed you the mic

And said that you can flow?

"I wanna know, I wanna know"

[Verse 1: Eminem]

I'll have you taken back to Christ when you're sacrificed

The way you're hacked and sliced

When I fill your back with knives

Jackin' life's of MC's, now I'm set to launch a plan

For blowin' up the stage with illegal contraband

I stomped your man, so unless you want what he got

You better set the mic down, I'm steamin' like a teapot

I make the D hot, people get in my face and ask

If I wanna battle, then I chase them in a Jason mask

It's an amazin' task to battle with success

I never gave a fuck, now I give a fuck less

And win a slug fest, I get physical like physicians

Invisible like magicians with mystical mic traditions

Wicked wizardry like a sorcerer, no remorse for you

When I torture you throughout the course of my orchestra

So feel the force of my spiritual images

Slicin' up an enemy's appendages 'til he hemorrhages

My skin itches every time a rapper recites

And when he's through with his verse

I'm all covered in flea bites

You wanna see fights, I got a match for ya

You couldn't flip shit playin' in toilets with a spatula

[Hook: Thyme]

Ayo, who the fuck passed you the mic

And said that you can flow?

Point him out! Man, I wanna know

Who the fuck passed you the mic

And said that you can flow?

"I wanna know, I wanna know"

I said who the fuck passed you the mic

And said that you can flow?

Point him out! Bitch, I wanna know

Who the fuck passed you the mic

And said that you can flow?

"I wanna know, I wanna know"

[Verse 2: Eminem]

You bitches get a hysterectomy disrespectin' me

You wanna feel the full effect of me, hand a TEC to me

Intellectually superior, I'll make the whack wearier

Inferior, deteriorate, like bacteria

Materially, killin' serially, clearly you'll see

How much in fear when you hear me you'll be

Shiver and shake, quiver and quake

Bite a rhyme and feel your jaw get stiffer and ache

Wither and break, you slitherin' snake

Gibberin' fake, fibber and flake

I'll twist you in a different shape

And toss you in Michigan Lake, for fisherman sake

If this is a dream, you wish you can wake

Every diss you can take, personal

We ain't friends tryin' to make amends

If you ain't ever stole a gate you can take offense

I make intense masterpieces

And smash to pieces your last releases

You pass diseases, that's the reason

I'm showin' you the proper way to

Operate a mic, so pass it like a hot potato

I've never been less than clever and fresh

Severin' flesh of fools who never impressed ever infest

[Hook: Thyme]

Ayo, who the fuck passed you the mic

And said that you can flow?

Point him out! Man, I wanna know

Who the fuck passed you the mic

And said that you can flow?

"I wanna know, I wanna know"

I said who the fuck passed you the mic

And said that you can flow?

Point him out! Bitch, I wanna know

Who the fuck passed you the mic

And said that you can flow?

"I wanna know, I wanna know"

[Outro: Thyme]

Whhhooo the fuck passed you the mic

And said that you can flow?!

Point him out! I wanna know

Who the fuck passed you the mic

And said that you can flow?

"I wanna know, I wanna know"

(Ayo, let me get that mic, man)

Who the fuck passed you the mic

And said that you can flow?

Who the fuck passed you the mic?!

Who the fuck passed you the mic?!

(I got the rhymes, bitch, I'll kick that shit)
