    She said "Come her big boy, lets get acquainted"
    I turned around to run, twisted my ankle and sprained it
    She came at me at full speed, nothing could stop her
    I shot her five times and every bullet bounced off her
    I started to beg "No, please let go"
    But she swallowed my f---ing leg whole like an egg roll


    Just the thought of it... :'(

    I know these "appreciation" threads get old real fast, but we definitely need one for this classic. As The World Turns is one of, if not the best story telling track Eminem has ever written. One of the best on SSLP as well. This track is one of the ones that definitely define "Slim Shady".

    Anyone else feel this way? Anyone disagree?

    "As The World Turns" is THE perfect example of underrated SSLP song. It is for reasons exactly like this that SSLP >>>>

    Hypochondriac, hanging out at the laundromat
    Where all the raunchy fat white trashy blondes be at
    Dressed like a sailor, standing by a pale of garbage
    Its almost dark and I'm still tryna nail a trailor park b----
    I met a slut and said "What up, its nice to meet ya"
    I'd like to treat ya to a Faygo and a slice of pizza
    But I'm broke as f--- and I don't get paid till the first of next month
    But if you care to join me, I was bout to roll this next blunt
    But I ain't got no weed, no phillies, or no papers
    Plus I'm a r--ist and a repeated prison escapist
    So gimme all your money
    And don't try nothing funny
    Cause you know your stinking a--- is too fat to try to outrun me
    I went to grab my gun
    That's when her a--- put it on me
    Wit an uppercut and hit me with a basket of laundry
    I fell through the glass doors
    Started causing a scene
    Then slid across the floor and flew right into a washing machine
    Jumped up with a broken back
    Thank god I was smocking crack all day
    And doped up off coke and smack
    All I wanted to do was r--- the b---- and snatch her purse
    Now I wanna k--- her
    But so I gotta catch her first
    Ran through Rally's parkin lot and took a shortcut
    Saw the house she ran up in
    And shot her f---ing porch up
    Kicked the door down to murder this divorced slut
    Looked around the room
    That's when I seen the bedroom door shut
    I know you're in there b----! I got my gun cocked!
    You might as well come out now
    She said "Come in, its unlocked!"
    I walked in and all I smelled was Liz Claiborne
    And seen her spread across the bed naked watching gay p---
    She said "Come her big boy, lets get acquainted"
    I turned around to run, twisted my ankle and sprained it
    She came at me at full speed, nothing could stop her
    I shot her five times and every bullet bounced off her
    I started to beg "No, please let go"
    But she swallowed my f---ing leg whole like an egg roll
    With one leg left, now I'm hoppin around crippled
    I grabbed my pocket knife and sliced off her right nipple
    Just trying to buy me some time, then I remembered this magic trick
    Den Den Den Den Den Den, Go go gadget d-ck!
    Whipped that s--- out, and ain't no doubt about it
    It hit the ground and caused an earthquake and power outage
    I shouted "Now b----, lets see who gets the best!"
    Stuffed that s--- in crooked and f----- that fat slut to death

    I think What I really love most about the track are the sound effects

    Great song. Perfect example if a song alot of people love but if he released the exact song today it would get picked apart

    I think this track is severely underrated, you never really hear people mention it when they talk SSLP. Love the sense or humour he had back then:

    "Jumped up with a broken back, thank God I was smoking crack all day doped up on coke and smack"

    The beat is ill on this track too

    Definitely my favorite SSLP track. The storytelling of this and "My Fault" are my favorite parts of the album
