Eminem - Backstabber Lyrics






[Police voice:]
Attention all units, attention all units
We have an All Points Bulletin out on a man with green hair
I repeat, we have an APB on a man with green hair
He's armed with a knife, I repeat, he's armed with a knife
Proceed with caution, watch your back fella's
He could be coming at your girlfriend next

[Verse 1:]
There's a joker on the loose from the psychiatric ward
His face is up on the bulletin board with a reward
He'll stab you with a sword don't be fooled by his charm
He's probably armed with intent to do bodily harm
Ring the alarm, look for a man with green hair
Check at your girl's house, he was last seen there
He's has a mean stare but usually crack's jokes
Good luck on your mission and guard your backs folks

[Chorus:]
I make you think you're a backstabber
Why I oughtta
Hit a bitch snake from the back, I make you think you're a backstabber
Why I oughtta
Stay away from him he ain't no good!

[Verse 2:]
We got the walkie-talkies to keep us all informed
Suited up head to toe in detective uniforms
Our unit storms in, we split the ghetto in sectors
Locking down every block and put up metal detectors
Protectors and be sure that you stand close
Watch each others backs and guard your command post
And most of all be advised that he's wise
He could be disguised as one of your very own guys

[Chorus:]
I make you think you're a backstabber
Why I oughtta
Hit a bitch snake from the back, I make you think you're a backstabber
Why I oughtta
Stay away from him he ain't no good!

[Verse 3:]
I'm on a solo mission to find him personally
To settle the score and beat then him mercifully
For what he first did to me
It's sure to be the last
Following footprints with a magnifying glass
To drag his lying ass back to his padded cell
I'm mad as hell, on the trail of the tattle tail
I heard a yell the voice sounded familiar
"Give me your girlfriend or I'm gonna kill ya"

[Chorus:]
I make you think you're a backstabber
Why I oughtta
Hit a bitch snake from the back, I make you think you're a backstabber
Why I oughtta
Stay away from him he ain't no good!

[Verse 4:]
I followed the voice that led down a flight of steps
Sneezing at dust, and swinging at the spider-webs
Inside the depths of his basement
I taste lint in my mouth, then the lights in the place went!
I saw my life flash in front of my eyes
I felt a butcher knife slash at one of my thighs
None of my guys knew where I'm at I was doomed
Then I remembered the flashlight in my costume

[Chorus:]
I make you think you're a backstabber
Why I oughtta
Hit a bitch snake from the back, I make you think you're a backstabber
Why I oughtta
Stay away from him he ain't no good!

[Verse 5:]
Dealing with backstabber's there was one thing I learned
They're only powerful when you got your back turned
I yearned for the day that we finally met again
So I can give him a taste of his own medicine
He shed his skin, then he promised to come clean
I took his butcher knife and jabbed it into his spleen
Cut him at the seam then dragged the fella home
Beating him over the head with the telephone

[Police voice:]
Attention all cars, attention all cars
Unit 313 has apprehended the suspect
He's going back to the crazy home, I repeat
He's going back to the crazy home, how about that?

[Chorus:]
I make you think you're a backstabber
Why I oughtta
Hit a bitch snake from the back, I make you think you're a backstabber
Why I oughtta
Stay away from him he ain't no good!
I make you think you're a backstabber
Why I oughtta
Hit a bitch snake from the back, I make you think you're a backstabber
Why I oughtta
Stay away from him he ain't no good!
I make you think you're a backstabber
Why I oughtta
Hit a bitch snake from the back, I make you think you're a backstabber
Why I oughtta
Stay away from him he ain't no good!

    holy fuck this is fire as shit

  72. m.... ....

    Man. I remember smoking Mexican brick weed Js in my basement with my boys listening to this off a burned CD back in 99 along with sslp. Where has the time gone.

  73. B.... T....

    I think i am retarded bcs i think Eminem's microphone was better in 1996

  74. T.... B....

    Come here you fuckin backstabber. Is the chorus

  75. B.... H....

    Ahhh. I miss this song so much.

  76. A.... C....

    This was his first song

    A.... C....

    Austin Crosby lol your dumb af his first real song was around 88 I think. He talks about a black girl in his first.

  77. C.... C....

    Mission failed will try next time

  78. H.... C....

    How bout dah

  79. T.... H....

    Aquemini vibes anyone?

  80. K.... A....

    he's talking about the joker 🃏?

    K.... A....

    Yes, and the Riddler!

    K.... A....

    hes talking about champtown

  81. F.... R....

    The "why i oughta" is from "get down" by craig mack

    F.... R....

    I guess they originally used it then, but that is Moe Szyslak, the bartender on the Simpsons, haha. So many rappers have used Simpsons references, quotes, clips, etc in their music at some point, and I think that it's awesome. In the early 90's when rap/hip-hop wasn't the cultural phenomenon it is today, most high profile entertainment outlets wouldn't dare incorporate it into their work, but The Simpsons have been doing it since the very early years, which is probably why many rap artists tend to pay homage to this day. That, and it's just one hell of a funny show, lol.

  82. D.... :....

    https://youtu.be/mV3nV360qhM?t=41m11s

  83. N.... N....

    Prime example of Eminem's storytelling skill

  84. E.... S....

    This doesn't seem like em?

  85. L.... W....

    "Check at ya girls house" is perfect with the beat

  86. A.... M....

    Who's here in 2017!

    A.... M....

    Ashy Moore 2019

    A.... M....

    Y’all skipped 2018 smh

  87. M.... S....

    Relatable

  88. G.... ....

    For everyone's info, this song was a single released on cassette pre-infinite. He couldn't sell it back then, so they went around different cities and handed them out for free to try and generate buzz. Unsuccesfully

    G.... ....

    The cassette had this and Biterphobia on the flip side. They'd be priceless these days

  89. J.... C....

    The instrumental sounds like New Jack Swing.

  90. L.... 1....

    i wanna find the instrumental!!

  91. p.... ....

    He didn't even swear once in this lmao

    p.... ....

    Fuck! Shit! Ass! Bitch! Cunt! Shooby-de-doo-wop!

    p.... ....

    The hook has the word “Bitch”

    p.... ....

    @jayjayjames2332 97' Bonnie and Clyde has no swearing because hailie is in the story. Genius. And I'm shady has no swearing either. Probably because its supposed to be happy

    p.... ....

    @jayjayjames2332 Actually there aren't any swear words at all in "Tonite".

    p.... ....

    He did but it was very unnoticable.

  92. L.... R....
