A Day Without A Rhyme by Eminem Lyrics
[Intro]
A day without a rhyme
Without a strong rhyme to step to
Without a strong rhyme to step to
Without a strong rhyme to step to
[Verse 1]
Step into my world, let the lyrics lead the way
It's a place of escape that deviates from the everyday (Uh)
A resort of a sort, it's for your mind though
So you relax them acts, and me, I let the rhyme flow (Uh)
So you can follow it, chew it before you swallow it
The lyric is a delicate thing, you shouldn't holler it
And yell it (Uh), it's [?], give your lyrics your all
But remember one thing, a weak rhyme could be your downfall (Uh) Take it from me (Uh, uh, uh) 'cause I'm a hip hop authority
Poetry redemption is our number one priority (Uh)
A day without a rhyme is like a day without sunshine
How can you unwind without a funky drum line? (Uh)
I can't see it, let the Ken Wood kick
Why? 'Cause rhyming is my game, and the mic is like a joystick (Uh)
I never lose, my lyrics sting like a hornet
I get ready for help, this for the town before the storm hits (Uh)
[Bridge]
(Uh, uh, uh, uh)
(Uh, uh, uh, uh)
(Uh, uh, uh, uh)
(Uh, uh, uh, uh)
Without a strong rhyme to step to
[Verse 2]
Perform is eternal, and in my lifetime
I hope I never have to see a day without a rhyme
Legendary, the lyrical olympian
Merciless and cruel, I rule 'cause I'm the champion
Defending my position like a heavyweight fighter
A dope rap writer, deadly as a poisonous spider
Yeah, no comparison, the women seem mysterious
My lyrics work as servants, leaving listeners delirious
Under my hypnosis on the edge of their seat
It's like a science fiction movie, with groovy hip hop beats
So just relax and you'll enjoy the double feature
Let my vocals take control of your soul, then let the rolling reach you (Uh)
You can't ignore the dance floor anymore
The rhymes are mind blowing for the fancy and the hardcore
Hip hop lovers who pump it as a past-time
The furthest sent from their mind, a day without a rhyme
[Chorus]
A day without a rhyme
Without a strong rhyme to step to
A day without a rhyme
Without a strong rhyme to step to
[Verse 3]
Floating atop a growing sea of MC's
Liquidating sucker rappers like a fatal disease
That's right, I flick lives like boogers from my fingers
My assassin has my back, smoking dope just like a gunslinger
I'm just a merciless dog, you know the time (Huh)
I'd rather die than go a day without a rhyme
You see, a lyric is a poet's personal emotion
A pocket full of holes, he throws a deep devotion
(?) is stretching, keeps the roof constantly running
My craftiness and cunning makes the floor [?] so stunning
It's as dumb as it can be, there's not an MC who can hang with me
They like to battle but they never wanna bang with me
'Cause I'm a real, dirty and dogmatic [?]
In fact I'm just a dope rhyme fanatic
I like to rock the party every time I get a chance to
But on a day without a rhyme what would you dance to?
(?) but no, it's nothing like this
The drums are death, and my DJ has a crisp twist
Larger than life, dear mayor of the new school
Flushing rappers out like a motherfucking whirlpool
Bloodthirsty, a witch and a boy, yeah
The MC destroy your boy, what can I do for you?
You don't want me, you'll never survive
You'll be eaten alive the very second you are mine
So do yourself a favour, save your breath
And take a step to me and you'll step into the arms of death
And quite frankly, that will be a real slither
I rarely use the (?), is it time to feel the flipper, boy?
This '89, my rhymes are clicking like clockwork
I need a Grammy, so I'm a piece of chalk work
(?) entertaining you, I kick fiction
But don't be alarmed if you hear a contradiction, that
Who's to say what the future might bring?
By the grace of Allah, I'll just continue doing my thing
Creeping the math, and then that constant movement
But do say lyrics that can stand no improvement, so
Yo, if you were sleeping, or napping, or waking
You know who you are, I guess you're just breathtaking
I write the rhyme to strike you like a lightning bolt
With every finishing stroke, another rap is smoke
So I'm the 'Deej' this year, the microphone musketeer
This is the year of the merciless Ameer (Word!)
(?), there's no lying in my dialogue
'Cause when I go out, I'm going like a raw dog
Well this was fun, I hate to break but I gotta run
My homie's landing on my box with the 911
See you next time, but in the meantime
Try not to go even a single day without a rhyme
[Outro]
W-Without a strong rhyme to step to
Without a strong rhyme to step to
Without a strong rhyme to step to
W-Without a strong rhyme to step to
A day without a rhyme
Yeah, dog, that was dope
A day without a rhyme
Without a strong rhyme to step to
Without a strong rhyme to step to
Without a strong rhyme to step to
[Verse 1]
Step into my world, let the lyrics lead the way
