Here are 15 Eminem lyrics to help you find that inner strength
This is your moment, and every single minute you spendTryna hold on to it because you may never get it again.
Till I colapse
Success is my only motherf---in' option, failures not!Lose yourself
You don’t get another chance, life is no Nintendo game.Love the way you lie
When I say I'ma do something I do it, I don't give a damn what you think, I'm doing this for me.Not afraid
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo!
Lose yourself
Seize the moment try to freeze it and own it, squeeze it and hold it. 'Cause we consider these minutes golden.Sing for the moment
There's no mountain I can't climb. There's no tower too high. No plane that I can't learn how to fly.My dad’s gone crazy
God gave you shoes to fit you. So put ‘em on and wear ‘em. Be yourself man be proud of who you are… Never let anyone tell you you ain’t beautiful.Beautiful
Cause we see them dollar signs and let the cash blind us. Money'll brainwash you and leave your ass mindless, while snakes slither in the grass spineless.Rock bottom
Why do we say that until we get that person that we think'sGonna be that one, then once we get 'em it's never the same
You want them when they don't want you
Soon as they do, feelings change
Space Bound
My confidence is up, this stage is my pedestalI'm unstoppable, Incredible Hulk
You're trapped in my medicine ball
Drop the world
I'm standing up, Imma face my demons, I'm manning up, Imma hold me ground.Not Afraid
No wonder I had to unlearn everything my brain was taughtGuts Over Fear
The passion in the flame is ignitedYou can't put it out once we light it
Forever
In the land of the killers a sinner's mind is a sanctumHoly or unholy, only have one homie.
Sing for the moment
But you gotta search within you
And gotta find that inner strength
And just pull that shit out of you
And get that motivation to not give up
And not be a quitter, no matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face, and collapse.
Till I colapse
But you gotta search within you‘Cause some things just don't changeIt's better when they stay the same
Cold wind blows
I said this looks like a job for meSo everybody, just follow me!
‘Cause we need a little controversy
‘Cause it feels so empty without me
Without me
