    His mom must be giving him a generous allowance for him to be able to afford all that merch.

    Proof Eminem had the best verse, but big Sean was close
    Red Highlight = Fire
    Orange Highlight = Nice
    None Highlight = Mid
    Purple Highlight = Trash

    Verse 1: BabyTron]
    No español, I’m allergic to rojo and legally blind, all I’m seein’ is gold
    D to the A, there and back, if we ride with the Drac’, can’t smoke from the T to the O

    Upped in the b----, you can keep what you owe
    Granny told me, “Boy, you reap what you sow”
    Do the most, we over, even the score
    Steady on the run, glued his feet to the floor
    Up in my Tesla, I’m rollin’ up ‘Ishers, I stopped at Valero, think I should quit smokin’
    Life is a gamble and I’m playin’ slots, pull it down, close my eyes and I pray I win tokens
    All Wock’, no pop, how we drive, you can come and take a baby sip, still tasted just potent
    One of one, sittin’ ’round the stars, double R, finna race, hit the Wraith, like a spaceship it’s floatin’
    All this drip, think I am below sea level
    Cut your own wrist off with that weak bezel
    Ride around with the iron giant, make ’em eat metal
    Watch unc’ break a rock down to three pebbles
    Bam-bam, down three, hit the grand slam
    Four pockets full, fully switched, go wham-wham
    Pants cramp, pull it out, I’m countin’ ’til my hands cramp
    Road DSM on the beach, not a sand stand



    [Verse 2: Big Sean]
    They wanna bleed me and lead me to act like they need me, but f--- it, I do it alone (Woah)
    She wanna touch me and rub me and go back to hubby, he probably could smell my cologne (d---)
    I was immersed in the Merce, I show ’em no mercy, I really was watchin’ the throne (For real)
    n----s ain’t turnin’ me down, when my baby asleep only time that I’m watchin’ my tone (Shh)
    We don’t want chips with a chip on our shoulder
    If he Obi-Wan, then I gotta be Yoda
    Don’t need no promoter, we pull up, they know us
    I’m the Ayatollah snatching your controller

    I don’t give a f--- about you when I’m focused
    f--- all the drugs you take, I’m takin’ over

    I paid attention, don’t need no payola
    Can’t take ‘way from me, you just need to take cover (Frr)
    I can paint a picture like I made the stencil
    f--- your whole image, I’m with Cole Bennett

    I don’t know what the f--- they done told n----s
    I put all of my heart and my soul in it
    I met you in person, you so different
    I can’t listen to you for a whole minute
    Took a blood test, ain’t no ho in it
    Watch your motherfuckin’ mouth ‘fore I go in it
    They like, “No, he didn’t,” got ’em more invested
    If it’s one thing I make, I make no exceptions

    I got new addresses, I got no reception
    I got love and hate comin’ from both directions
    b----, I come from the D where they BMFing
    Where they movin’ them keys like a chord progression

    b----, I’m omnipresent, I got no reflection
    Made a livin’ off bars, I need no correction
    (No)
    Grindin’ s--- out, gotta stay patient
    While you outside, we on staycation
    Locked the f--- in, ain’t no playin’ for real ‘less you playmakin’
    I take the chances you hate takin’
    f--- it, dog, I’ma go Wes Craven
    I’m at the safe, f--- a safe haven
    They play with my name and I can’t take it


    Eminem
    Tobey Maguire got bit by a spider, me? Must’ve got bit by a goat (Yeah)
    I used to dream as a kid I would grow (Baa)
    To be one, I hope that I inspire hope (For what?)
    For you to go get what you desire most (Yeah
    )
    Spit fire, b----, I was just flyin’ coach (Yeah)
    Y’all thought you was sick, you were misdiagnosed (Nope)
    I’m dope and you’ll never have this high a dose (Nope, yeah)
    Now my estates in the buildin’, and b----, I done slept on more floors than the Empire State (‘Pire State) Building
    I got so many stories, but I hate ceilings (Haha)

    Ain’t feelin’ your top five favorite rappers (Woo)
    So I know they ’bout to be pissed at me (Why?)

    But this, to me, is a mystery
    How rappers I’ve already ripped could be (What?)
    Higher up on a list than me (Ha)
    Yet here I sit on your list though at five (Hm), which still was fine
    But just know inside, to me, that s---’s hilarious, so when I (Haha)
    Get dissed though and by a pioneer
    Who was one of the reasons why I am here
    They tell me I should just let that s--- go and slide (Why?)
    “Melle Mel shouldn’t get no reply” (Why?)
    “That man is a legend,” b----, so am I (Haha, yeah)

    And anyone else who thinks it’d be wise and easy as pie
    To beat me and tries, can treat me just like poison (What?), they can eat me and die (Hehe)
    Middle finger stuck up, but I never conceded
    When have I ever retreated? (Never) You never seen it

    Every dream that I ever dreamt, I exceeded
    Cement my legacy, I definitely did controversy, I always said all I needed

    Treat it like a truck, hit it head-on, I meet it (Krrk)
    I get on a beat and it’s like that “Eye of the Tiger” song is playin’ on my head on repeat
    I been knocked down so many times, can’t count (Ugh)
    Sometimes, s--- does not pan out
    That’s just the way that the card hand’s dealt
    Jon Manzel, odd man out (What?)
    But heavyweight, word to Scott Van Pelt
    I can’t help but feel like a victim of child abuse
    ‘Cause I am ’bout to get that g.d. belt (Now strap, man)

    Way beyond crazy, Shady gone, but hey, maybe, I am the GOAT
    With Big Sean and BabyTron, and that’s why they be on the s--- they be on, ’cause (Ugh)

    Finally listened

    If this was a sean or babytroll song people would love it. But because its an eminem song people are not happy. I understand that.

    I actually really like the verse but it doesn't feel like an Eminem song. 7/10 to me, but also because Houdini was like a 10/10

    It didn't ruin hype for the album for one reason; no fast rap thank god!!

    This part sounds cool and nice writing.

    "Cement my legacy", "I did controversy" "Shady gone"

    I do think this verse will make sense in the narrative of the full album. Thinking back to when Royce said that Em is recording a lot and is thinking about his legacy, and with this being one of the final tracks on the tracklist. Hopefully Em will reflect deep on his legacy as a whole and shady persona and then reignite it in the middle (Houdini is #11) then slowly let it fade away due to some reasoning: modern times/he is grandpa-age or smt. Really excited for what to come! Esp now when we also know the amount of tracks!
