Rap Nobody (7 languages)

To Europe!

Dear Mr. Eminem
Of course, you can say you gave yourself the title 'rap god'
Not because of speed and skill, but because of lyrics
Do you realize there is a world outside the USA?
Only 5% of the world's population writes English natively
So how can you judge?

Do you think the remaining 95% is less talented?
And you're right, it's not 2004 anymore
You can't throw words into the wind
without expecting a response
We're in the era of YouTube
and I'm just its inevitable voice!

And while I love 'Lose Yourself', and even 'Rap God'
you've lost your way too many times in the rap game
with tracks that are objectively weak
even if you now call them pop
Of course, to err is human
but it doesn't suit a 'rap god'

You rap fast, probably because you got carried away
The only thing that connects you to God is your inflated ego
You say you had a hard time with your career
because you're from Detroit, not NY or LA?
Tell that joke to the guys from Polish neighborhoods

Who am I to catechize/teach the rap god?
After all, I'm nobody - 'rap nobody'
Just a guy without a contract, from nowhere - from Poland
Eminem, Eminem
Holy cow!
I'm not saying I'm better, but the fact is
there are many worse than you in the world
So with all due respect - control your ego!
And the Polish eagle suggests being a little less ignorant

It doesn't take much - tune the instrument
We have a beat - it's great, we're in good moods
Switching styles
Switching outfits
Because there are so many of us, but just the three of us

I come to show one hip-hop
You're a god too*, there's no 'rap god'
Rap essence and quintessence are human elements
Homegrown - like moonshine - not from a can

Like Pushkin, turn the pen into a tool of flight
But don't get carried away, the shine melts the wax
Use a vote of no confidence for oohs and aahs
Let the reflected shine from the mirror not blind your eyes

If rap is art, look for God in it
Because if I'm not mistaken, there's no - oh my god - pagan god
God of art?! Do you believe it?
If you have talent - you don't have to say it at all

Hey Slim (Eminem), come down
They say it's lonely at the top
Don't be detached, be a part
I know deep down you want that

Hey Slim (Eminem), rap god
They say it's lonely at the top
Don't be detached, be a part
I know deep down you want that

Hey Slim (Eminem), come down
They say it's lonely at the top
Don't be detached, be a part
I know deep down you want that

Taking a moment of attention
I dedicate this track to all the 'rap nobody' of the modern world
facing reality, promoting mediocrity
To all the relentless enthusiasts fighting for it
who often contribute to their passion
to pursue it on their own terms
and to those whose dreams have been metabolized by everyday life

Accommodated like an eye to the shadow
always at the bottom, I lean out again
I do it to show you
that we are out of reach here!

Deputizing ourselves to pride
for years we fly after the mirage of the goal
Although sweat poured on the ground forms puddles
we have delusions that we won't give up

We put these clips together ourselves
And loops to the rear
This is the job
But as long as it's enough to survive and fuel the beat
It's foot on the gas!

Making money on music is cool
as long as it's not junk
Eminem dissed Aguilera
now he collaborates with Nicki Minaj

From Fake Drake to Pitbull, Wayne
who's now on top and supposedly rap
Always new levels of stupidity here
it's a generational 'monkey grove'

And such a pack of topics
that caricature the lineage of rap
Career devours
Presses to zero
Attracts horny teenagers here

Dumbasses are the new idols
Where's Tupac and Lauryn Hill's pack?
Devalued this rap currency
when forehead tattoos overcame skill

Yeah!

Hey Slim (Eminem), come down
They say it's lonely at the top
Don't be detached, be a part
I know deep down you want that
