Lyrics of Brainless by Eminem
intro
Poor Eminem has a full line of chainsaws
Eminem, Eminem, Eminem, Eminem
Eminem, Eminem
Marshall Mathers, Eminem, the rapper Eminem
Who can say for sure?
Perhaps a frontal lobotomy would be the answer
If science can operate on his distorted brain and put it to good use
Society will reap a great benefit
verse
I walk around like a space cadet, place your bets
Who′s likely to become a serial killer? Case of Tourette's
F-, f-, f- can′t take the stress
I make a mess as the day progresses
Angry and take it out on the neighbors hedges
Like this is how I'll cut your face up bitches with these hedge trimming scissors with razor edges
Imagination's dangerous, it′s the only way to escape this mess
And make the best of this situation, I guess
′Cause I feel like a little b-, predicaments, despicable
I'm sick of just getting pushed, it′s ridiculous
I look like a freaking wuss, a pu-
This kid just took my stick of licorice and threw my sticker books in a picker bush
I wanna kick his toosh, but I was six and shook
This f- was 12 and was six foot, with a vicious hook
He hit me, I fell, I got back up, all I did was book, now there's using your head
chorus
Mama always said
"If you had a brain, you′d be dangerous"
A brain you'd be dangerous
(Mama could be wrong)
Mama, I′ma grow a name and be famous
And I'ma be a pain in the anus
(Mama could be wrong)
I'ma use my head as a weapon
Find a way to escape this insaneness
(Mama always said)
"Son, If you had a brain, you′d be dangerous"
Guess it pays to be brainless
verse
Fast-forward some years later, a teenager
This is a fun, sweet! I just got jumped twice in one week, it′s complete
It's usually once a month, this is some feat I′ve accomplished
They've stomped me into the mud for what reason, you stomped me
But how do you get the sh- beat out of you, be down and be upbeat
When you don′t have no-thing, no valid shot at life
Chance to make it or succeed 'cause you′re doomed from the start
It's like you grew up on drug street, from jump street
But if I had just kept my head up my ass
I could accomplish any task, practicing trash talking in a trance
Locked in my room, yeah, but I got some plans mama
These damn rhymes are falling out of my pants pocket, I can't stop it
And I′m starting to blend in more, school, this - helps for sure
I′m getting more self-assured than I've ever been before
Plus no one picks on me anymore, I done put a stop to that
Threw my first punch, end of story
Still in my skulls a vacant, empty void
Been using it more as a bin for storage
Take some inventory and as gorge as a Ford engine door
Hinge syringe an orange an extension cord and a Ninja sword
Not to mention four lynch pins and a stringent stored
Ironing board a bench a wrench or winch and a tangent whore
Everything but a brain, but dome′s off the fucking chain
Like an independent store, something's wrong with my head
Just think if I had a brain in it, thank God that I don′t
'Cause I′d probably be Dahmer
chorus
'Cause mama always said
"If you had a brain, you'd be dangerous"
A brain you′d be dangerous
(Mama could be wrong)
Mama, I′ma grow a name and be famous
And I'ma be a pain in the anus
(Mama could be wrong)
I′ma use my head as a weapon
Find a way to escape this insaneness
(Mama always said)
"Son, If you had a brain, you'd be dangerous"
Guess it pays to be brainless
verse
Now my mom goes "womp, womp, womp"
′Cause I'm not that smart, but I′m not dumb
I was on a bottom of the pile getting stomped
But somehow, I came out on top
I told you one day, I said they'd have that red carpet rolled out, yo
I'm nice, yo, fuck it I′m out cold
Now everywhere I go, they scream out "Go!"
I′m 'bout to clean house, yo
I′m Lysol, now I'm just household
Outsold the sell outs, freak the hell out
Middle America, hear them yell out
They were so scared, and those kids
Just about, belted out, whatever spout that it fell out
Of my smart alleck mouth, it was so weird
Inappropriate, so be it, I don′t see it
Maybe one day when the smoke clears, it won't be as
Motherfu- difficult, ch′yea, 'til then
Hopefully you little hom- get over your fears and grow beards
It's okay to be scared straight, they said I provoke qu-
′Til emotions evoke tears, my whole careers a stroke of sheer genius
Smoke and mirrors, tactical, practical jokes, yeah
You motherfu- (insert insult here)
Who the f- would′ve thunk that one little lone MC
Would be able to take the whole culture and re-upholstery it
And boy they did flock, can't believe this little hick locked
This Hip-Hop sh- in his pocket and still the sh- got that white trash traffic and gridlock
Sh- happened like a six blocks from a Kid Rock Insane Clown Posse concert in mid Oc-tober
And got forbid I see a wizard and get a brain in my titanium cranium dog
′Cause I turn into the unabomber
chorus
Mama always said
"If you had a brain, you'd be dangerous"
A brain you′d be dangerous
(Mama could be wrong)
Mama, I'ma grow a name and be famous
And I′ma be a pain in the anus
(Mama could be wrong)
I'ma use my head as a weapon
Find a way to escape this insaneness
(Mama always said)
"Son, If you had a brain, you'd be dangerous"
Guess it pays to be brainless
outro
Insaneness ain′t even a word you stupid -
Neither is ain′t
Writer(s): Marshall B. Iii Mathers, Luis Edgardo Resto
