The Kiss (Skit) Lyrics

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 [?]

This skit is the reenactment of what happened on June 4, 2000 around 2.00 am in the morning in Warren, Michigan. Eminem was at his friend Gary Kozlowski’s house, when he heard that his then-wife Kimberly Anne Scott was in the company of another man.

Eminem and Kozlowski, in Kozlowski’s car, then drove to the Hot Rocks Café and allegedly found Kim in the parking lot kissing the bouncer of said club, John Guerra, at which point Eminem would have jumped out of the car and pistol-whipped Guerra with an unloaded 9mm gun. In the following song on the album, “Soldier”, he seems to confirm this:

Pistol-whippin' motherfuckin' bouncer 6'2"
Who needs bullets? As soon as I pull it, you sweat bullets

only to correct himself later on the album, on “Sing for the Moment”:

You’re full of shit too, Guerrera, that was a fist that hit you!

admitting that he did assault Guerra though not using a pistol. He also denied the pistol-whipping later in court.

The skit is the beginning of a story that continues on the next track of the album, “Soldier” and ends on “Say Goodbye Hollywood”. The background song heard at the beginning of the skit is Eminem’s unofficially released track “Everybody’s Looking at Me”.
