Sometimes it feels like the worlds on my shoulders
Everyone’s leanin’ on me
Cuz sometimes it feels like the world is almost over
But then she comes back to me
My Baby girl keeps getting older
I watch her grow up with pride
People make jokes, cuz they don’t understand me
They just don’t see my real side
I act like things don’t phase me,
Inside it drives me crazy
My Insecurities could eat me alive
But then I see my baby
Suddenly I’m not crazy
It all makes sense when I look into her eyes
That is the chorus for Hailie's song. You can see the full lyrics if you search it online. This reveals a lot about Eminem. He is saying that even in the hardset situations, his daughter can make it seem better. I don't want to reveal everything because I am presenting this week. But I will break down a part of the song."People make jokes [becasue] they don't understand me". He is also saying that people make fun of him for being close with his daughter like this. Most rappers don't have a soft spot in their heart. Eminem is just a rapper that expresses his feelings through song.
Good job Will! I am really excited for your presentation this week. I liked how you chose Eminem, someone who we normally think of as a rapper, not a poet. Also, great analysis. Just because some people seem hard on the outside, that does not mean that they are hard on the inside. Maybe, if you look into other rappers, they are also like this.
