I'm like a snail I've got
To formulate a plot

from Eminem (Ft. Jeff Bass) – Lose Yourself Lyrics on Rap Genius

Snails: beleaguered schemers of the mollusk world

Snails scientifically formulate (in this case meaning create) their shell. Therefore, like snails make their shells, Em needs to make a plan to escape from 8 mile. It’s also a reference to the former line, where he says he feels as if he’s stuck in one spot; snails take a long time to move.
