Eminem Till i Collapse lyrics

'Cause sometimes you feel tired,
feel weak, and when you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give up.
But you gotta search within you, you gotta find that inner strength
and just pull that shit out of you and get that motivation to not give up
and not be a quitter, no matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face and collapse.

[B/W Intro:]
Yo left, yo left, yo left right left
Yo left, yo left, yo left right left
Yo left, yo left, yo left right left
Yo left, yo left, yo left right left

[Verse #1:]
Till I collapse I’m spilling these raps long as you feel em
Till the day that I drop you'll never say that I'm not killing them
Cause when I am not then I am stop pinning them
And I am not hip-hop and I’m just not Eminem.
Subliminal thoughts when I'm stop sending them women are caught in webs spin and hauk venom
Adrenaline shots of penicillin could not get the illing to stop.
Amoxacilin is just not real enough.
The criminal cop killing hip-hop filling minimal swap to cop millions of Pac listeners.
Your coming with me, feel it or not you’re gonna fear it like I showed you the spirit of god lives in us.
You hear it a lot, lyrics the shock is it a miracle or am I just a product of pop fizzing up.
For shizzle my whizzle this is the plot listen up you bizzles forgot slizzle does not give a fuck.

[Chorus - NateDogg]
Till the roof comes off, till the lights go out
Till my legs give out, can’t shut my mouth.
Till the smoke clears out - am I high? Perhaps
I'ma rip this shit till my bone collapse.
Till the roof comes off, till the lights go out
Till my legs give out, can’t shut my mouth.
Till the smoke clears out and my high burn out
I'ma rip this shit till my bone collapse.

[Verse #2:]
Music is like magic there’s a certain feeling you get when your real
and you spit and people are feeling your shit.
This is your moment and every single minute you spend trying to hold onto it
cause you may never get it again.
So while you’re in it try to get as much shit as you can
and when your run is over just admit when its at its end.
Cause I'm at the end of my wits with half this shit that gets in.
I got a list here's the order of my list that it's in.
It goes, Reggie, Jay-Z, Tupac and Biggie, Andre from Outcast, Jada, Kurupt, Nas and then me.
But in this industry I'm the cause of a lot of envy, so when I’m not put on this list the shit does not offend me.
That's why you see me walk around like nothing's bothering me.
Even though half you people got a fucking problem with me.
You hate it but you know respect you’ve got to give me
The press's wet dream like Bobby and Whitney. Nate hit me.

[Chorus - NateDogg]

[Verse #3:]
Soon as a verse starts I eat it at MC’s heart
what is he thinking? How not to go against me? Smart.
And its absurd how people hang on every word.
I’ll probably never get the props I feel I ever deserve
But I’ll never be served my spot is forever reserved
If I ever leave earth that would be the death of me first.
Cause in my heart of hearts I know nothing could ever be worse.
That’s why I’m clever when I put together every verse
My thoughts are sporadic, I act like I’m an addict
I rap like I’m addicted to smack like I’m Kim Mathers.
But I don’t want to go forth and back in constant battles
The fact is I would rather sit back and bomb some rappers.
So this is like a full blown attack I’m launching at them
The track is on some battling raps who want some static
Cause I don’t really think that the fact that I’m Slim matters
A plaque of platinum status is whack if I'm not the baddest.

[Chorus - NateDogg]

[Outro:]
[Eminem & Natedogg Echo:]
Until the roof
The roof comes off
Until my legs
give out from underneath me

[Eminem:]
I will not fall,
I will stand tall,
Feels like no one could beat me.


This song really summarizes how i feel about giving up, and being under pressure to give up.

Number 15

I think it is important to know when to stop and when to keep going. Sometimes it is hard to know this so it is important to pay attention. Some people will keep bugging someone about something they believe in but if the person being bugged is not interested they will not listen and all the bugger's time has been wasted while they could have been using it somewhere important and impactful.
Some people don't realize when an argument is won or lost and they keep trying and not getting anywhere. These people don't usually win arguments. Of course, if it is something you believe very strictly and it is very important to you, you should stick with it and try to make the best of it. If you cannot convince one person maybe you can convince someone else.

Topic 15

I think that it's definately neccessary to give up on some things. Like if you know you're just bugging someone, or if you're only doing something for your own benefit and no one elses. Like asking to get a ride to the mall or something. If someone says no, give up! It's their right to say no and by saying no they're setting a boundary. By not giving up, you make the other person (not necessarily, but if they're sensitive/fragile) feel like they're only being used and have no say in the matter. With other things, though, like Karate or a video game, you shouldnt give up just because the odds look bad. Keep trying! :P

I believe you should stand up for stuff You believe in but if its just and argument or a topic that isn't a big deal you need to be able to drop it and just walk away. If you think it wouldnt be the same world if people in are history would of just gave up and walked away because it was to hard.

#15 and #16

#15

I think that you should always try your hardest, and that means never stop trying, and therefor never give up. If you have a goal always try and achieve it. Though sometimes goals may change I think that a commitment to reaching that goal should not. If you run into an obstacle it may either be a mere bump in the road or if big enough can change your original goal.... But you should never give up.

Part 1

Next weeks blog topic should be one of 2 things, preferably the second because I think it would be cool to leave something behind for the next year, and Because I chose this blogs title.

1) Plans for next year or the summer
2) Come up with a title for next years blog (eg. Phrey Space or The Zebra Ponders...)

Part 2

For my Mission statement I think it would go something like this...

I Austin Sandford, who hopes to become a great person. Spreading some excitement, randomness, intrigue, and wit into everyone and everything. One who hopes to become one with the world and the world one with me, sending all of us far into the future.

!42! Topic #16: Mission Statement and Final Topic

A two-parter this time.  You have to put something down for both parts, though you are welcome to focus on one and keep the other small/short/light.

Part the First:  Last Blog
Quick question: next week's blog will be our very last blog in this class.  What would you like the topic to be?

Part the Second:  Mission Statement

This is the mission statement for the St. Helens School District.  It is worded as a series of beliefs -- well, sort of.  It starts that way, then they throw in a couple of statements that seem more like promises or definite goals; then back to the beliefs.  Then it ends with another self-affirming descriptive sentence.  Okay, this one isn't very well written.  Here it is anyway.

St. Helens School District

Here's a better one:

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America


A mission statement is supposed to communicate, to yourself and others, exactly what you intend to do, and why.  According to Wikipedia,
Mission statements often contain the following:
Purpose and aim of the organization
The organization's primary stakeholders: clients, stockholders, congregation, etc.
Responsibilities of the organization toward these stakeholders
Products and services offered

According to Hill, the mission statement consists of: 1. a statement containing the reason for using your product 2. a statement of some desired future state (vision) 3. a statement of the key values the organization is committed to 4. a statement of major goals

So: leave out #1 there, since you don't have a product (Unless you are a creator, in which case you might).  Give me the other three: a statement of some desired future state (What you want to be, and who you want to be, and where you want to be, when you "grow up"), a statement of the key values you are committed to, and a statement of your major goals -- specifically what you want to accomplish.  Try to dress it up all pretty, if you can.  Here is a brief how-to guide for business mission statements, though the examples are a little too brief. I like this one, personally: Starbucks Mission Statement.
 
Mine (which I will try to compose properly soon) would include some of the following.  There will come a day when I am a full-time writer of novels and essays, when I set my own hours and answer to nobody but myself and my vast legions of fans.  I will live on a large, isolated property fairly close to some civilized city, most likely outside the United States.  I will still be married to my wife, and we will have many pets, including dogs, cats, birds, and goats.  I will have an awe-inspiring library, and my house will have secret passages and hidden rooms.  My key values include compassion for my fellow human beings, and contempt for their ignorance and stupidity.  I believe art is what sets humanity above other animals, and it is the only thing that does so -- which makes it the highest calling.  In all other things, we should act first with love: in art, we must first act for the truth, and for beauty.  My goals include winning awards, becoming a bestseller, writing an epic fantasy series, breaking genre lines, and never selling out.  I want to found scholarships and fellowships and support education, particularly for artists.  I want to inspire people to speak out, and to create art of their own.
 
Please write some kind of mission statement for yourself by next Tuesday, June 8.

It's always disheartening to have to give up on something you love. No matter what it is, accepting defeat is a tough challenge. Being deeply invested causes us to go blind to the obvious. Every problem becomes invisible, since there's no way that this - what you've been devoted to for months - could be failing. Learning to see through this haze is tough, and takes real motivation. Giving up is seen as cowardly, but in the right situation - when all hope is truely lost, giving up can be a sign of bravery.
