I don’t know about you, but I’m excited for Eminem’s upcoming album, Houdini. Using samples from his earlier works and reworking them into new combos, do you think he’ll reuse backing tracks too? I’m crossing my fingers for more Without Me feels. Who knows, maybe there will be two excellent tracks in there. One can hope. Let’s get it out right, yeah?

Wrote one while listening to that same backing track. Top notch inspo rations. Can you dig it?

Alien Kid

Alien kid comes out to say hi
Touch the ground with a sound that makes a man cry
But why would he try with more than a sigh
He’s been sending for a friend, all he got was goodbye

‘Cause the boy is a man who feels trapped inside
With a thousand good plans for his passing time
All he has is a pen and a few better rhymes
But he’s slammed with no jam so he’s slipping on by

An autist, no more than any artist
‘Cause his star’s ignoring, pumping his arms with morphine
So all he knows is pain and boring
But he’s a mar conforming to all the bars he’s forming

Cut my jeans and set me free
No 20ccs in my IV
I’ve got veins to enstrange my allergy
Get me earning the burning when I breathe

This little rat boy may make some noise
With the beasts and brutes gone and grabbing joy
He’s rabid, he’s filthy, but less annoyed
‘Cause he’s out and he’s living it, no more toys
Now he’s working for the moment his heart destroys

‘Cause he’s a
Jumpstarter and he
works harder than he
and his arteries could ever be part of
a world for his art on a stage
but he won’t turn a page

Remember that kid you once were, before you crumpled and changed? It’s ok to set them free every now and then. Indulge in that smile. Share your brilliance with the world. That “forget this” attitude is a part of the experience. It isn’t a setback or a loss.
