Till I Collapse lyrics

[Intro: Eminem]

'Cause sometimes you just feel tired, feel weak

(Your left, your left, your left, right, left)

And when you feel weak (Your left)

You feel like you wanna just give up (Your left, your left)

But you gotta search within you (Right, left)

Try to find that inner strength (Your left, your left)

And just pull that shit out of you (Your left)

And get that motivation to not give up (Right, left, your left)

And not be a quitter, no matter how bad you wanna just fall

(Your left, your left, right, left)

Flat on your face and collapse

[Verse 1: Eminem]

'Til I collapse I'm spillin' these raps long as you feel 'em

'Til the day that I drop you'll never say that I'm not killin' 'em

‘Cause when I am not, then I'ma stop pennin' 'em

And I am not hip-hop and I'm just not Eminem

Subliminal thoughts, when I'ma stop sendin' 'em?

Women are caught in webs, spin 'em and hock venom

Adrenaline shots of penicillin could not get the illin' to stop

Amoxicillin's just not real enough

The criminal, cop-killin', hip-hop villain

A minimal swap to cop millions of Pac listeners

You're comin' with me, feel it or not

You're gonna fear it like I showed you the spirit of God lives in us

You hear it a lot, lyrics to shock

Is it a miracle or am I just product of pop fizzin' up?

Fo' shizzle, my wizzle, this is the plot, listen up

You bizzles forgot, Slizzle does not give a fuck

[Chorus: Nate Dogg]

'Til the roof comes off, 'til the lights go out

'Til my legs give out, can't shut my mouth

'Til the smoke clears out, am I high? Perhaps

I'ma rip this shit 'til my bones collapse

(Until the roof) 'Til the roof comes off, 'til the lights go out

(The roof comes off) 'Til my legs give out, can't shut my mouth

(Until my legs) 'Til the smoke clears out, am I high? Perhaps

(Give out from underneath me) I'ma rip this shit 'til my bones collapse

[Verse 2: Eminem]

Music is like magic, there's a certain feelin' you get

When you real and you spit, and people are feelin' your shit

This is your moment, and every single minute you spend

Tryna hold on to it 'cause you may never get it again

So while you're in it, try to get as much shit as you can

And when your run is over, just admit when it's at its end

'Cause I'm at the end of my wits with half the shit that gets in

I got a list, here's the order of my list that it's in

It goes Reggie, Jay-Z, 2Pac and Biggie

André from OutKast, Jada, Kurupt, Nas, and then me

But in this industry I'm the cause of a lot of envy

So when I'm not put on this list, the shit does not offend me

That's why you see me walk around like nothing's botherin' me

Even though half you people got a fuckin' problem with me

You hate it, but you know respect you got to give me

The press's wet dream, like Bobby and Whitney — Nate, hit me!

[Chorus: Nate Dogg]

'Til the roof comes off, 'til the lights go out

'Til my legs give out, can't shut my mouth

'Til the smoke clears out, am I high? Perhaps

I'ma rip this shit 'til my bones collapse

(Until the roof) 'Til the roof comes off, 'til the lights go out

(The roof comes off) 'Til my legs give out, can't shut my mouth

(Until my legs) 'Til the smoke clears out, am I high? Perhaps

(Give out from underneath me) I'ma rip this shit 'til my bones collapse

[Verse 3: Eminem]

Soon as a verse starts, I eat at an MC's heart

What is he thinking? How not to go against me, smart

And it's absurd how people hang on every word

I'll prob'ly never get the props I feel I ever deserve

But I'll never be served, my spot is forever reserved

If I ever leave Earth, that would be the death of me first

‘Cause in my heart of hearts I know nothin' could ever be worse

That's why I'm clever when I put together every verse

My thoughts are sporadic, I act like I'm an addict

I rap like I'm addicted to smack like I'm Kim Mathers

But I don't wanna go forth and back in constant battles

The fact is I would rather sit back and bomb some rappers

So this is like a full-blown attack I'm launchin' at 'em

The track is on some battlin' raps, who wants some static?

‘Cause I don't really think that the fact that I'm Slim matters

A plaque and platinum status is whack if I'm not the baddest, so

[Chorus: Nate Dogg]

'Til the roof comes off, 'til the lights go out

'Til my legs give out, can't shut my mouth

'Til the smoke clears out, am I high? Perhaps

I'ma rip this shit 'til my bones collapse

(Until the roof) 'Til the roof comes off, 'til the lights go out

(The roof comes off) 'Til my legs give out, can't shut my mouth

(Until my legs) 'Til the smoke clears out, am I high? Perhaps

(Give out from underneath me) I'ma rip this shit 'til my bones collapse

[Outro: Eminem & Nate Dogg]

Until the roof (until the roof)

The roof comes off (the roof comes off)

Until my legs (until my legs)

Give out from (underneath me)

I will not fall, I will stand tall

Feels like no one can beat me
