This characterization is rooted in fact.

As Eminem’s mother (Debbie Mathers) wrote in My Son Marshall, My Son Eminem:

Marshall […] got food poisoning from a hot dog. He ended up in the hospital on an IV drip. I took the remaining sausages to the hospital technicians for testing. Sure enough, they were bad. I called the store manager to get him to pull the brand from the shelves. He offered me a free case of hot dogs. I declined. Marshall and I did not want to ever see a hot dog again after he’d been so ill. Then we were offered $1,500, which of course I took. I needed it to cover the medical bills. But Marshall demanded that the money should go to him. In the end I gave him two or three hundred dollars—I forget how much exactly—and the rest went toward our bills.

And in a 2000 court case, Em would describe his mother as “addicted to bingo”.

Eminem is famous for always having some Nikes on, most of the time the Air Max series. He loves Nikes so hard, he even teamed up with them to make a few limited edition Eminem shoes.

He’s also noticing her big breast size, which he applauds, but not in the gentelman’s way.

The schedule of a celebrity can be very ridiculous. Eminem’s 8 mile schedule gave him an addiction to sleep medication.

Kerser is now living the life of a rapper, so all his touring involves a lot of travelling.

This is why he named his album No Rest For The Sickest, because he was planning on making a big name for himself and he wasn’t stopping until he does.

Ima move along, call me the business man
Cause I’m busy, no rest that’s the business plan

Since Kerser wanted to be a rapper – he had no interest, no motivation in school work. All he did was write raps, and dream of being a rapper.

Now that he has made his dream a reality, he loves to rub it in peoples faces.

Kerser wanted to rap & stay true, so people hate it. He wanted to rap for the “streets” and other rappers don’t like it.

Closed arms is also a bad sign of body language, in this case it clearly translates into “you’re not welcome”.

A lot of people live their lives the way society tells them too, so they never get to do what they truly want to do with their life.

All they do is follow the metaphorical road and live their life as planned out by society.

Extending the metaphor.

You can take a turn on the road – which would be change in your life.

You can do something different from rest of society if you like and live the life you want. Kerser encourages you to go live the life you want – before you die, because then… it is too late.

Kerser uses a metaphor to show how life is:
That you’re sheep, and you live life the way people tell you to.

You live your life, and progress through the straight road, because you have been directed to, until you reach the end – which is when you die.

Sampled from Ice Cube’s song – “It Was a Good Day”, but taken out of context from the original.

From the original song when Ice Cube flicked the hydraulic switch, his car’s front end would lift, which resulted in the back end of the car dropping to the ground.


Triple entendre for context of this song:

  • When Ice Cube flicks a switch to change the beat, the bass will drop, and then girls will dance to the beat.

  • When Ice Cube flicks on switch on his microphone – the girls go crazy.

  • This line has no meaning, and it just fits in nicely with the song.

Yelawolf has love for we’re he grew up, so he wants to rep it all over the rap scene, and show support to his town, because that’s one ways rap started: showing support for your hood!
