Invasion Lyrics

[Sample: Eminem]
"So let's get down to business
I don't got no time to play around, what is this?"
What is this?—What is this?


[Intro: Eminem]
The Invasion! (Invasion!)
Yeah! Yeah!
Green Lantern! (Green Lantern!)
The infiltration
We coming! Yeah!

[Bridge: Eminem]
I got 50 Cent, I got G-Unit (Uh-huh)
D-Twizzy in this bitch (Haha), with Obie Trice (Woo!)

So watch what you say (Uh-huh), 'fore you call our name (Yep)
'Cause you say one more thing and it won't be nice!

[Verse: Eminem]
Whoa, here we go, I should've known
I was bound to get pulled into some bullshit

Sooner or later, you little haters
Are too jealous of us, still love us, you hate it, G-Unit made it
And Obie's coming, D-Twizzy's coming
You're sick to your stomach ("UGH!")

Fifty percent of it's 50 Cent
The other 50 percent of it's whose color of skin it is

But if you even considering taking our label down
You better find our building and fly a fucking plane into it
,
But I ain't trying to get too intricate into it
I'm just tryna give you a little hint for your own benefit
'Cause then it's gonna get to the point where it escalates
Into some other shit, then I'ma flip
Then I'ma get to "Stomping in my Air Force Ones"
But you won't be able to tell if it's two pairs or it's one

It's just gonna feel like so many feet kicking you
You'll think Nike just made these into cleats in the shoe
I don't know what it is or what it could be
But I get a woody when these pussies try to push me
Thinking they gonna put me in a position to pickle me (Woo!)
Y'all tickle me pink, I think I'd just rather have P!nk tickle me (Hehe)

Hickory-dickory-dock, tickety-tock-tickety
A little bit of the diggedy-Doc-diggedy
Mixed with a little bit of the Jigga-J-Jigga
With a small pinch of Biggie
Look at me, I'm just the bomb-diggedy

[Hook: Eminem]
We the realest label
Don't try to act like you don't feel our label
'Cause we gon' fuck around and kill your label
Obie, D-Twizzy, G-Unit, 50, Shady Records, we the label fa' sho!
We the realest label
Don’t try to act like you don’t feel our label
'Cause we gon' fuck around and steal your paper
Obie, D-Twizzy, G-Unit, 50, we gon' kill your fucking label fa' sho!
Yeah!


[Post-Hook: Eminem]
Shady in the place to be see
And I got what it takes to rock the mic right!
Still watch what you say to me, punk
'Cause I'm off probation in less than six months! {*gun cocks*}


[Outro: Eminem]
Haha! (Woo!)
Shady Records
Still Aftermath
And don't think we don't hear you motherfuckers talking!
'Cause we do
We see y'all
But we just gon' sit back for a minute and watch what the FUCK y'all do!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

“Invasion (The Realest)” is a general warning against anyone who would try to beef with Em, but since it was released while Em and Shady Records were in a feud with both Benzino and Ja Rule, it should be interpreted as directed at them.

This track is the first of four diss tracks on Shady Times: Invasion, Pt. 1 that is directed at Benzino. The others are “The Sauce”, “Nail in the Coffin” and “Welcome To Detroit City”. The tracks are Em’s response to Benzino’s “Pull Your Skirt Up” which was released one and a half month earlier.

Genius Answer

“The Realest”, “The Sauce”, “Nail In The Coffin” and “Welcome To Detroit City” from Shady Times: Invasion Pt. 1 were released as a response to “Pull Your Skirt Up” by Benzino, which had been released one and a half month earlier.

The feud started after Em was displeased with his album The Eminem Show only receiving 4 mics in the magazine The Source’s record report. In an interview Em begins to diss The Source and even claimed that he would never get a 5 mic rating in the magazine, because of Benzino, who at the time was co-owner of the magazine.

In September 2002, Benzino is in the studio of Hot 97 talking about the double standard in hip hop. Everybody in his crew begins to freestyle, and at the end of Benzino’s part, he dissed Em in 2 bars over the Nas – “Made You Look” beat. Later in September, Em calls in to Hot 97 to promote 8 Mile, as well as his new artist 50 Cent. During the Interview he disses Benzino. Later the same night Benzino went to the studio and recorded a early version of the song “Pull your skirt up”. Em had his manager, Paul Rosenberg, call Benzino to try to squash the beef. Benzino releases the song a week or two later.
