Stimulate (from The 8 Mile Soundtrack Deluxe Edition)

Hey, listen

I love my job, it makes me feel like, Superman

Can you fly? I can

Wanna see?

I'm only entertaining you

My goal is to stimulate making you high

And take you and I, to a place that you can't see

But I believe you can fly

I don't mean nobody harm, I'm just partying

I'm not your dad, not your mom, not your guardian

Just a man who's on the mic, so let me entertain you

My lyrical content is constantly under fire

No wonder why I constantly bomb back

To combat attacks with constant concepts

From lyrics constantly took out of context

Failure to communicate with Congress has

Been a problem for the longest I guess but

Maybe one day we can make some progress

Food for thought see how long it takes to digest

Feeling good when I should be ashamed

Shit, I really should've fell but I stood

See I came like a flame in the night

Like a ghost in the dark, there's a ray, there's a light

There's a hope, there's a spark

But when planets collide, they'll never see eye to eye

Until they decide to set the differences aside

And this is why only one of us will survive

So children, follow my lead and feel the vibe because

I'm only entertaining you

My goal is to stimulate making you high

And take you and I, to a place that you can't see

But I believe you can fly

I don't mean nobody harm, I'm just partying

I'm not your dad, not your mom, not your guardian

Just a man who's on the mic, so let me entertain you

My music can be slightly amusing

You shouldn't take lyrics so serious, it might be confusing

Trying to separate the truth from entertainment

It's stupid ain't it? I get sick of trying to explain it

See I can sit and argue with you but it goes beyond

Just being a snot, pointy nosed, bleached blond

'Cuz' I came here to uplift let your woes be gone

Tell em' to get fucked and just mosey on

Constantly movin', constantly using

The constitution as a form of restitution

Bless the children, nothing less than brilliant

Let me entertain you like Robbie Williams

I'll be here when y'all are gone re building

World revolving, still evolving, still Slim

How many kids will copy ? Probably millions

But Im'a do this as a fuckin' hobby till then 'cause

I'm only entertaining you

My goal is to stimulate making you high

And take you and I, to a place that you can't see

But I believe you can fly

I don't mean nobody harm, I'm just partying

I'm not your dad, not your mom, not your guardian

Just a man who's on the mic, so let me entertain you

My lyrical content contains subject matter

That sucks up all these fucked up young kids

At an alarmin' rate, common denominate

Add it up and you'll see that's why I dominate

I try to stimulate but kids emulate

And mimmick ever move you make, "Slim you're great"

But wait, can't you see I'm only here to entertain?

I gotta be the one to go against the grain

'Cuz man, I see it, feel it, live it

But it's inhumane for me to see you be influenced

And pretend you ain't

But they don't understand that I've been through pain

If you get to know me I can be a friend you gain

But you can't just stand there and try to judge

It hurts but your jealousy probably tears you up inside as much

And it's such a pleasure every button that I touch

I treasure every glutton that I punish in my lust but

I'm only entertaining you

My goal is to stimulate making you high

And take you and I, to a place that you can't see

But I believe you can fly

I don't mean nobody harm, I'm just partying

I'm not your dad, not your mom, not your guardian

Just a man who's on the mic, so let me entertain you
