In the opening track off Recovery, Eminem gets icy towards “pussies”, both the male kind and the female kind, settling the score with rivals.[Intro]

'Cause some things just don't change

It's better when they stay the same

Although the whole world knows your name

So on a biggest stage, they

Came to see you spit your game, ho-woah

But it shouldn't be difficult to explain

Just why you came back again

You hate the fame, love the game

Cold as ice, you remain

Fuck 'em all, tell 'em all, "Eat shit"

Here we go again

Oh (Dum, du-du-du-dum, dum-du-dum) (Yeah, yup, yeah)

Goddamn (Dum, du-du-du-dum, dum-du-du)

Is it that time again already? (Dum, du-du-du-dum, dum-du-dum)

Haha (Okay, okay) (Dum, du-du-du-dum, dum-du-du)

Y'all don't look too happy to see me (Dum, du-du-du-dum, dum-du-dum)

Fuck, man (Dum, du-du-du-dum, dum-du-du)

Don't everybody welcome me back at once (Dum, du-du-du-dum, dum-du-dum)

Alright, fuck you all then (Dum, du-du-du-dum, dum)

[Verse 1]

You can get the dick, just call me the ballsack, I'm nuts

Michael Vick in this bitch, dawg, fall back, you mutts

Fuck your worms, you've never seen such a sick puppy

Fuck it, a sick duck, I want my duck sicked, mummy

And my nuts licked, gobble 'em up, trick, yummy

Bitch, you don't fuckin' think I know that you suck dick? Dummy

You'll get your butt kicked, fuck all that love shit, honey

Yeah, I laugh when I call you a slut, it's funny

Shorty, dance while I diss you to the beat, fuck the words

You don't listen to 'em anyway, yeah, struck a nerve, sucker

Mo'fucker, might as well let my lips pucker

Like Elton John 'cause I'm just a mean cocksucker

The shit is on 'cause you went and pissed me off

Now I'm shittin' and pissin' on everybody, give a fuck if it's right or wrong

So puff the Buddha, light a bong

But take a look at Mariah next time I inspire you to write a song

Come on

[Chorus]

Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

I'm as cold as the cold wind blows

When it snows and it's twenty below

Ask me why, man, I just don't know

Know-know-know, know-know, know

I'm as cold as the cold wind blows

Bl-bl-blows, blow-blow, blows, oh, oh-oh

[Verse 2]

Fuck it, I'm a loose cannon

Bruce Banner's back in the booth

Y'all are sittin' ducks, I'm the only goose standin'

I'll set the world on fire, piss on it, put it out

Stick my dick in a circle, but I'm not fuckin' around

Motherfucker, I'll show you pussy-footin'

I'll kick a bitch in the cunt 'til it makes a queef and sounds like a fuckin' whoopee cushion

Who the fuck is you pushin'?

You must've mistook me for some sissy soft punk lookin' for some nookie or bosom

Go ahead, fuckin' hater, push me

I told you ain't no fuckin' way to shush me

Call me a faggot 'cause I hate a pussy

Man the fuck up, sissy, Gs up

All you gardeners freeze up, put your hoes down

"Shady, ease up, man, chill," nah, I can't, goddamn it, rap is a landfill

Drop the anvil, these are shoes that you can't fill

Shit, the day that happens the world will stop spinnin'

And Michael J. Fox'll come to a standstill (Woo)

During an earthquake, urine in your face 'cause you're fake

Ow, what the fuck? That hurt, wait

Ow, what the fuck? I just got struck by lightnin'

Alright then, I quit, God, I give up

Call it evil that men do

Lord, forgive me for what my pen do

"This is for your sins, I cleanse you

You can repent, but I warn you, if you continue

To Hell, I send you"

And just then the wind blew, and I said—

[Chorus]

Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

I'm as cold as the cold wind blows

When it snows and it's twenty below

Ask me why, man, I just don't know

Know-know-know, know-know, know

I'm as cold as the cold wind blows

Bl-bl-blows, blow-blow, blows, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh

[Verse 3]

How long will I be this way? Shady until my dyin' day

'Til I hang up the mic and it's time for me to say "So long"

'til then I'll drop the fuckin' bombs like I missed the pass when I went long

If you don't like it, you can kiss my ass in a lint thong

Now sing along, "Slut this, slut that," learn the words to the song

"Oh, bitches don't like that"

Homie, I'll be nicer to women when Aquaman drowns and the Human Torch starts swimmin'

Man, I'm a cold soul, I roll solo

So don't compare me to them other bums over there

It's like apples to oranges, peaches to plums, yeah

I'm bananas, pussy, cut off the grapes and grow a pair

But I swear, you try to diss me, I'll slaughter you

I put that on everything like everyone does with Auto-Tune

The last thing you want to do is have me spit out a rhyme, and say

"I was writing this, and I thought of you"

So—

[Chorus]

Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

I'm as cold as the cold wind blows

When it snows and it's twenty below

Ask me why, man, I just don't know

Know-know-know, know-know, know

I'm as cold as the cold wind blows

Bl-bl-blows, blow-blow, blows, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh

[Outro]

I don't know, I don't know what caused—

I don't know what caused me to be this way

I don't know, I don't know

But I'll probably be this way 'til my dyin' day

I don't know why I'm so—, I'm so cold

Mean things I don't mean to say

I guess this is how you made me
