Eminem Higher

Eminem blessed fans back in December when he dropped Music To Be Murdered By: Side B with no warning. The deluxe arrived nearly a year after the standard was released last January and featured tons of new hits for fans to appreciate. Em has just unleashed the visual to “Higher,” which appears as the ninth track on the album. Produced by the Detroit legend himself, the song shows off his lyrical wit and discusses his life after fame.

The video for the song, which is the official theme song to the fight, debuted on Saturday during ESPN’s UFC 257 Countdown: Dustin Poirier vs. Conor McGregor 2. The “Higher” visual includes exclusive footage from the fight in montages throughout the video, while other scenes show Em portraying the role of both an artist and an athlete, highlighting the parallels between the two professions. Instead of fighting another opponent, Em is tasked with fighting against his own demons instead. Dana White and ESPN’s Michael Eaves also appear in cameo roles for the video.

Lyrics

[Intro: Eminem]
Yeah
You know, I’ve been around for a while now
Not sure if I have much left to prove
Yeah I do, haha

[Verse 1: Eminem]
I look at me now, I’m thinkin’, “Damn”
How proud of me I am
What I did is nothin’ to sneeze at
Even if your allergies are bad
I’m up in a balcony in France
I look around, I see the fans
How they surround me in the stands
Probably could drown in a sea of hands
They’re hollerin’, “Shady” (“Shady”)
Yelling it out to me and that’s what I mean when I say
That one day someway, somehow, if I get the chance to get a crowd
I’d flip it around and have a crowd give me the chants
(I’ve done it all, man)
But in actuality, I haven’t, yet

[Chorus: Sly Pyper & Eminem, Sly Pyper]
Where am I supposed to go from here? (Woah-oh-oh) Hey
Really I have no idea (All)
All I know is every time I think I hit my ceiling (Yeah, oh)
I go higher than I’ve ever fuckin’ been (My only question is)
Where am I supposed to go from here? (Woah-oh-oh) Hey
Really I have no idea (All I know is, all)
All I know is every time I think I hit my ceiling (Yeah, oh)
I go higher than I’ve ever fuckin’ been

[Verse 2: Eminem]
Got no time for no haters in this bitch
Or toleration for this shit
But like medication, my dedication
And the time it takes to do this shit
Reminds me of how an overcrowded hospital waiting room’ll get
What I mean is maybe I have more patience (patients) than I’m able to admit
Yeah, but I’m still mentally stable as a three-legged table in this bitch
Fame was a switch, but I was grateful to trade this shit for the trailer with a hitch
That it would make me a raving lunatic
But I made it through my situation, I hit pay dirt
Now I get paper like a stapler in this bitch
But just ’cause I made a little bit of change
Don’t mean I’ve changed a little bit
Brain full of wit, dangerous, can’t extinguish this English language when it’s lit
And I’m just berating you with it, it’s Shady ’til I’m eighty-two
I’ll spit this crazy, even Dre, he knows (nose) I’ma blow
Better get the handkerchief again, haha

[Chorus: Sly Pyper & Eminem]
Where am I supposed to go from here? (Woah-oh-oh) Hey
Really I have no idea (All)
All I know is every time I think I hit my ceiling (Yeah, oh)
I go higher than I’ve ever fuckin’ been (Know I talk about this shit a lot, my only question is)
Where am I supposed to go from here? (Woah-oh-oh) Hey
Really I have no idea (All I know is, all)
All I know is every time I think I hit my ceiling (Yeah, oh)
I go higher than I’ve ever fuckin’ been

[Bridge: Sly Pyper & Eminem]
Oh, now what am I gonna do?
Can’t nothing hold me, I’m on the loose
Born a winner, damn, it’s so hard to lose
I can do it even when I’m tryin’ to
When my record flops, it still go through the roof
This atmosphere’s for a chosen few
Who was on they grind makin’ money moves
And you ain’t gon’ get there if you watered-down
You gotta take shots with a hundred proof (Check it out)

[Verse 3: Eminem]
Been in survival mode
Since a five year old, it was I alone
Since my trike was stole, spiral notebook and microphone
But lookin’ back how bad it was then
If it hadn’t been for the pad and the pen
Addict mom and deadbeat dad
I wouldn’t have had the savage within
Havin’ to win every single battle I’m in
All I ever wanted was to be an emcee
Tediously I wrote obediently, believing in me
EPMD must’ve had teachin’ degrees
Learned to defeat enemies with the ink, thinkin’ of these rhymes
Would be as Eazy as E
And graffiti would be like remedial readin’ to me (Yeah)
‘Til my last breath leaves my lungs
I’ma beat my drum (Yeah) for the streets I’m from (Yeah)
The East side slums (Yeah), gotta remind ’em (Yeah)
I’ll take a foe out (Yeah), like fee-fi-fum
You see my finger (What?), you see my thumb (What?)
You see my fist, fuck a peace pipe, I’m (What?)
Here for the smoke but it’s not the weed I want (What?)
With this beat I brung for the beef I’ve come (Woo)
But you better bring it if you wanna reply from
‘Cause for you to be lyrically inclined, it’d be a steep climb up
That’ll be an uphill battle
But I’m up like your feet in a recliner
And I think I’m about to go out on a limb like a tree climber
Time to push my ceiling higher ’cause

[Chorus: Sly Pyper & Eminem]
Where am I supposed to go from here? (Woah-oh-oh) Hey
Really I have no idea (All)
All I know is every time I think I hit my ceiling (Yeah, oh)
I go higher than I’ve ever fuckin’ been (For the last time, my only question is)
Where am I supposed to go from here? (Woah-oh-oh) Hey
Really I have no idea (All I know is, all)
All I know is every time I think I hit my ceiling (Yeah, oh)
I go higher than I’ve ever fuckin’ been (Damn)
