What are the lyrics to Eminem's Unaccommodating?

One of the tracks, titled Unaccommodating, addresses his feud with Machine Gun Kelly but at the same time backs a reference to the Manchester Bombing in 2017.

It features the line against a backdrop of bomb sound effects: "But I'm contemplating yelling 'Bombs away' on the game/Like I'm outside of an Ariana Grande concert waiting."

Here are the full lyrics:

Oh, this what we doin'? Alright

Amen

[Verse 1: Young M.A]

I like a b***h that like to wobble, wobble

Shake it, shake it, break it, break it

N****, we made it, made it, they hate it, hate it

Pro professional, pure persistent, I'm paper chasing

I hate complaining, I hated waiting, I'll pay for patience

But I hate to pay a bill (Hate that)

And I made a mil without a major deal (I made that)

Yeah, her ass fake, but she came for real (She came, uh)

Money ain't a thing, that ain't a thing for real

It's the broke lingo (Huh)

And no, ain't nothing Saweetie, this is no Quavo (Migo)

Man, I just get high, let my hoes lay low (Ooh)

I just want some face but this is no facial (Ooh)

Do right and kill er'body, Drake mode (Hello)

B***h, I'm tryna eat out, take your plate mode (Hello)

Disrespect your life and I'm in gang mode (Grrr)

You can leave this earth, b***h, I'm in rake mode (Huh)

I'm in cake mode (Huh), I'm in brave mode, uh

What up Marshall? I'm a martian, I'm in Wayne mode (Facts)

Neck wet, big drip, I'm in rain mode (Drip, drip, drip)

Eight n****s, eight hittas, take eight souls (Brrr)

Collect pesos (Huh), and I'm paid, so? (Paid)

Self-made goals (Hey)

When the pain leaves (Huh)

Where does the pain go? (Where?)

Tip of the backwood is where the flame goes (There)

To the sky is where my brain goes (Wow)

Same pack, same fiend, sellin' the same clothes (Wow)

Pinocchio and my pistol, they got the same nose

Me and my n****s gotta eat, we share the same stove (What?)

Case closed, bodies in my lane, b***h, lane closed

 

[Verse 2: Eminem]

Game over, Thanos on you H-O's

On my petty s*** but I don't paint toes (Yeah)

Get the plunger (Plunger) 'cause Marshall and MA go plum crazy

Call us liquid plumber, 'cause even Dre know (Dre know)

Beat knocks like a beefed up Detox, you're gonna need three SWATs

A police officer's at least cuffing me up for evading and I don’t stop

Please dawg, I need y'all to keep talking s*** 'cause I feed off of it

I am the complete opposite of these retards who spit these weak bars, I'ma leave carnage

Each thought'll be so toxic, it'll block the wind through your oesophagus

Stop it, cutting off your oxygen

And I hit them pads like a boxing gym

Better watch for Slim, better get to popping when I'm at the top again

I won't topple and I'm giving it to anyone who wanna come and get it and I'm not gonna stop

But when they ask me is the war finished with MGK? Of course it is

I cleansed him of his mortal sins, I'm God and the Lord forgives even the devil worshippers

I'm moving on but you know your scruples are gone when you're born with Lucifer's horns

And you're from the school of Notorious, Puba, Cube and The Poor Righteous Teachers tutored my students

Showed them all the blueprint and formula

But it seems like the more they studied my music, the more they remind me of eyeballs
I'm watching my pupils get cornier (Uh)

But I'm contemplating yelling "Bombs away" on the game
Like I'm outside of an Ariana Grande concert waiting

 

[Chorus: Eminem]

Here comes Saddam Hussein, Ayatollah Khomeini

Where's Osama been? I been laden lately

Look at how I'm behaving, they want me gone away

They wanna JonBenet me (F*** you), I'm unaccommodating

Man, I don't see why they hate me

I'm a clown like John Wayne Gacy

They call me Kanye crazy

APES***, Beyonce, Jay-Z

And I'm back with Andre, baby

And the doctor's operating

But he never put no scrubs on from Snoop kid out to Shady

 

[Verse 3: Eminem]

Shady like a shadow or your silhouette, intellect, I better check to see why you feel upset

'Cause I met your b***h on the internet now I'm getting head like a Pillow Pet

That bimbo Kim put her lips all the way around this bone and then blow

Like a dusty cartridge from an old Nintendo

Those were the days but I bet you, I'm never gonna be broke again, no

I don't smoke but I got paper, to be blunt, I'm rolling Indo

And I keep it one comma, zero, zero, zero, zero

Real, real, real, murder, murder, murder, kill, kill, kill

Nickle-plated, twenty two, two, two

B***h, shut the f*** up 'fore I shoot you too

Ain't s*** I won't do just to get a few YouTube views

Run up in a church like pew, pew, pew

'Cause that's what I do, do, do

But, even to the untrained human eye

We ain't the same, you and I

Somebody should have explained to you why

For you to go against me, it's simply insane, you will die (Yeah)

That's why they call me Kamikaze, it's plain suicide, yeah

But I know magic and here go my last trick

I'm 'bout to say "Abracadabra" and pull a B Rabbit up out of my hat

I'm about to relapse and I betcha that you won't know how to react

But a look of disgust, I don't doubt it'd be that

As I begin to f***in' devour the track

And you backpedal that as a cowardly act

Like a Saudi attack when the towers collapse

What are the reviews like for Eminem's Music To Be Murdered By?

So far fans have a mixed response to the album.

One wrote: "This is somewhat ambitious at times and sometimes it doesn’t sound too bad...but then there tracks like Those Kinda Nights, which is like the new WTP. Awful. Truly awful. Some of the instrumentation is actually cool.

"It’s just a shame that Eminem, who is so inconsistent on this record, is the one rapping and singing over it."

This one was loving it: "This is Eminem’s best album since the second Marshall Mathers LP.

"Not only does it feel like a better and more concise version of the best parts of Kamikaze and Revival, but he also nails the reprise of the Slim Shady persona throughout and expertly blends his insane god-tier lyricism and knack for selecting feature artists with the theme of the album, Alfred Hitchcock-inspired glamorified gore, which jives with Slim Shady perfectly."

While another said: "It’s pretty clear that Eminem is starting to let critics get into his head.

"As a fan of his, he really needs to take time off and stop rushing out mediocrity because I know he has a Relapse-level album inside him.

"And after all the dark things Eminem has said over the years, that Ariana Grande line was genuinely shocking."

"repeats the worst mistakes of its predecessors, including leaden beats, insufferable choruses and tasteless punchlines that are devoid of humour".
