Evil Lyrics — Eminem
Album: The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace)
Evil by Eminem
[Verse 1]Woke up with an attitude today
Not in the mood to play (Nah)
Might start a feud with Dre (Yeah)
And ask him to shoot the fade (What it do?)
All I do is spray, spew the hate while I fuel the flames
Who to blame for my screwed-up brain?
You could say, in the booth, I'm A-human A-to-the-K (Aw)
(Hailie, look) Look at them two little beautiful (Yeah) pewter gray poodles, how cute are they? (The f**k?)
Well, looks like them pooches are screwed today (I'm)
Stuck in my ruthless ways (Yep), and I refusе to change (Yep)
Nothin' to lose or gain (Nopе), guess I just choose to stay
[Chorus]
Evil (Yeah), I'm so evil
Rotten to the core, a f**kin' twisted cerebral
I'm so evil, so evil
It's obvious that I am not like other people
'Cause I'm evil, I'm so evil
Rotten to the core, a f**kin' twisted cerebral
I'm so evil, so evil
It's obvious that I am not like other people (Yeah)
[Verse 2]
My medicine cabinet's big enough to fit a cab in it
Tablets, I split like half of this capsule, it's travelin' like a javelin
Through my abdomen, my stomach's unravelin'
Might end up havin' Slim say some sh*t you feel f**ked up for laughin' at, yeah
And I'm phenomenal at it (What?), and that's problematic (What?)
But if y'all fanatics (Huh?), maybe I'm your habit (Yeah)
And I got all the dope (What?) too, send me all them addicts (Get 'em all)
And watch me shoot 'em up (Pew-pew) like semi-automatics (Come on)
Slim snaps like a chin-strap
Had my share of lows, yeah, now I'm the exact (What?)
Opposite, just like a prostitute when she's gettin' smacked (Now)
Pimp slaps, only way I'm hittin' my bottom, b**ch (Yeah, take 'em back)
I was five when they tried to say I stuck a live grenade
Up inside of a microwave, I behave like a child, ayy
Even when stakes are high as the price of an angus, I filet
By the way, I think I just gave Skylar Gray Hepatitis A (Ew)
But when it's sink-or-swim, I just say, "It's not me, it's him" (Sorry)
There's a demon who's deep within
All I need is MD, or weed, or Henny, or Jim Beam, or Remy, or Seagram's Gin
Just to get underneath your skin, I would like you to meet my twin
[Chorus]
Evil, I'm so evil
Rotten to the core, a f**kin' twisted cerebral
I'm so evil, so evil
It's obvious that I am not like other people
'Cause I'm evil, I'm so evil
Rotten to the core, a f**kin' twisted cerebral
I'm so evil, so evil
It's obvious that I am not like other people (Look it up, yeah)
[Verse 3]
Holy sh*t, Cait' Jenner just flipped (Yo)
Told me knock this sh*t off and quit, and get off her dick (Damn)
And I've had a bad day, I just slapped Dre
Do not tell me what I can't say (Why?), that's gay (What's wrong with that?)
And not the good kind of gay either (What?)
Where two men f**k each other and hate beaver (Woah)
What the f**k? Wait, we've established I'm straight, see, the (No)
Way they try to make me the devil, the atheist (Oh)
sh*t can get a lot worse, these are my first thoughts, Johnny Walker, this my third shot (Yeah)
And I don't stop 'til the shots heard, pops for blocks, got the Mossberg cocked (What?)
Couple choppers, two Glocks, a 2Pac shirt, doctors, and boxers dropped
Lookin' awkward as I walk into Oxford (Stop, the f**k?)
So much ammunition, I sweat lead
And just bought you a new bedspread for your deathbed (Haha)
And I just got it made like Special Ed said
Word to Redman, I'm a meth-head
Used to get fed pet meds by my redneck stepdad
'Til I beat his ass to death with a cassette deck (Ah)
So much bloodshed that when he bled from his head gash (Yeah)
It's kinda like I'm a bookworm (Huh?)
'Cause I ain't stoppin' 'til everything gets read
Call this sex ed with a splash of necrophilia (What?)
'Cause when I say that I'm really the evilest, I'm f**kin' deadass (I'm f**kin' deadass, haha)
Maybe what I need now more than likely's a psych eval'
Mama, how do you like me now? (Huh?)
Are you proud of me yet, Debbie? (Huh?) I done turned my whole life around
But I think I'm just like you now because I turned out so f**kin'
[Chorus]
Evil, I'm so evil
Rotten to the core, a f**kin' twisted cerebral
I'm so evil, so evil
It's obvious that I am not like other people
'Cause I'm evil, I'm so evil
Rotten to the core, a f**kin' twisted cerebral
I'm so evil, so evil
It's obvious that I am not like other people

Annotations and Meaning.
"Evil" is the fifth track from Eminem's album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce). The song delves into issues of inner struggle, addiction, and the darker side of Eminem's persona, emphasizing his self-awareness and unapologetic attitude. Eminem's lyrics often reference Hailie Jade, his daughter, and the concept of "screw the pooch" to describe his past struggles with drug addiction. He uses the metaphor of hitting rock bottom, a term used in American pimp culture, to describe his ability to handle high-pressure situations. In the song "Stay Wide Awake," Eminem uses the metaphor of "stakes" to refer to high-risk situations and the literal "steaks" of beef steaks. The use of "fillet" in cooking suggests his precision and expertise in handling high-pressure situations. Eminem also makes an absurd statement about potentially infecting Skylar Grey with Hepatitis A, a viral liver disease, which is typically transmitted through the ingestion of contaminated food or water or through direct contact with an infectious person. This line employs Eminem's characteristic shock value and dark humor, while the addition of "Ew" underscores the gross and repulsive nature of the statement. The lyric references Caitlyn Jenner, using her name as a play on her name. The phrase "get off her dick" addresses her transgender identity. Eminem also plays with the two meanings of the word gay, happy, and homosexual, with a woman's pubic area sometimes referred to as a "beaver." In his 2002 track "Cleanin' Out My Closet," Eminem accuses his mother of Munchausen syndrome by proxy, a mental disorder where a caregiver deliberately induces illness or injury to a child in order to get attention and sympathy. This may be a callback to this line, as Em implicates not only his mother but her husband in intentionally making him sick. In his 2020 track "Stepdad," Eminem raps about hating his stepdad and beating him to death, using homophonic puns to emphasize the importance of truth and honesty. In "Fuckin' Deadass," Eminem is referring to telling the truth and having sex with dead people, a concept that is often used in his lyrics to express his journey from addiction to recovery.[Verse 1].
The first verse begins with Eminem waking up in a nasty mood and eager to make mayhem. He brings up his troubled relationship with Dr. Dre, implying a propensity to instigate conflict. The sentence "pen in the booth, I'm A-human A-to-the-K" demonstrates his lyrical prowess, equating his words with a weapon. The use of "Hailie" and "two little beautiful pewter gray poodles" contrasts innocence with his vicious worldview, indicating his internal conflict and the extreme difference between his personal and public demeanor.[Chorus]
The chorus stresses Eminem's self-perception as evil and distinct from others. He characterizes himself as "rotten to the core" and "twisted cerebral," emphasizing his acceptance of his darker side.[Verse 2][Verse 3].
The third verse maintains Eminem's combative and unrepentant stance. He mentions Caitlyn Jenner and makes several insulting remarks, highlighting his disrespect for political correctness. The phrase "So much ammunition, I sweat lead" expresses his willingness for fight and combative attitude. Eminem talks on his background and how it affected him, referencing his stepfather and the abuse he suffered, which contributed to his aggressive impulses.[Chorus]
The chorus repeats, emphasizing Eminem's underlying wicked and perverted psyche. His embracing of his dark side is evident, as he distinguishes himself from others. Eminem's "Evil" is a raw, introspective single that goes into his difficulties with addiction, mental health, and darker urges. Eminem uses controversial lyrics and vivid imagery to present a nuanced portrait of his inner problems and their impact on his life and career. The song's unapologetic tone and willingness to address contentious issues demonstrate Eminem's lasting ability to push boundaries and defy society standards.
