Criminal Lyrics » Eminem

[Intro]
A lot of people ask me stupid fuckin’ questions
A lot of people think that what I say on a record
Or what I talk about on a record
That I actually do in real life or that I believe in it
Or if I say that I wanna kill somebody
That I’m actually gonna do it or that I believe in it
Well, shit, if you believe that, then I’ll kill you
You know why? ‘Cause I’m a criminal!
Criminal! You’re goddamn right
I’m a criminal! Yeah, I’m a criminal!
[Verse 1]
My words are like a dagger with a jagged edge
That’ll stab you in the head, whether you’re a fag or lez
Or a homosex, hermaph or a trans-a-vest
Pants or dress, hate fags? The answer’s yes
Homophobic? Nah, you’re just heterophobic
Starin’ at my jeans, watchin’ my genitals bulgin’ (Ooh!)
That’s my motherfuckin’ balls, you’d better let go of ’em
They belong in my scrotum, you’ll never get hold of ’em!
“Hey, it’s me, Versace! Whoops, somebody shot me!
And I was just checkin’ the mail, get it? Checkin’ the male?”
How many records you expectin’ to sell
After your second LP sends you directly to jail?
Come on, relax, guy! I like gay men
Right, Ken? Give me an amen! (A-men!)
“Please Lord, this boy needs Jesus
Heal this child, help us destroy these demons
Oh, and please send me a brand new car
And a prostitute while my wife’s sick in the hospital”
Preacher, preacher! Fifth grade teacher!
You can’t reach me, my mom can’t neither
You can’t teach me a goddamn thing ’cause
I watch TV and Comcast cable
And you ain’t able to stop these thoughts
You can’t stop me from toppin’ these charts
And you can’t stop me from droppin’ each March
With a brand new CD for these fuckin’ retards (Duh)
And to think, it’s just little ol’ me
Mr. Don’t-Give-a-Fuck still won’t leave

About Eminem’s Criminal from The Marshall Mathers LP (2000)

The final song on
The Marshall Mathers LP
, “Criminal” provides plenty of examples of and excuses for Em’s violent rhetoric.
As Em explained in
Angry Blonde
:
“Criminal” was my new
“Still Don’t Give a Fuck”
for
The Marshall Mathers LP
. That’s why I did the same intro as I did on the ‘’Still Don’t Give A Fuck’‘. That’s why–just like ’‘Still Don’t Give A Fuck’‘–it’s the last song on the record. It sums up the whole album.

FAQs About Criminal

What did Eminem say about “Criminal”?
In his 2000 book
Angry Blonde
Eminem detailed how the song came to be:
After I did
“Marshall Mathers”
, I felt like I still hadn’t captured that
“Still Don’t Give a Fuck”
feel. I played it for my manager,
Paul
, and he said, “It’s dope, but it’s still not ‘Give a Fuck’”. Once again, the funniest shit happens when I’m about to bail. We were about to leave the studio for the day, ‘cause we couldn’t come up with shit.
Jeff
was in the next studio playin’ with this old-ass piano. He was playin’ the frantic piano loop that gave “Criminal” that sinister feel. All I had was “I’m a criminal”. I hadn’t filled the blanks in yet. So I started writing the rhyme and within twenty minutes we were on our way out the door with a hook and the first two verses in hand. I went home and finished the last verse. Afterwards I put in the skit right before the album was finished. Only fucked-up thing was that it took almost a whole day to do that bank robbery skit. Even Dre walked out of the studio like, “Fuck it, I’m out”. We had to get
Mel-Man
to get his lines right, ‘cause he was so drunk. He just had to say, “Don’t kill nobody”. But what really took so long was the noise in the background. I did that skit by myself. I learned how from Dre when we hooked up on
“Guilty Conscience”
. “Criminal” was my new “Still Don’t Give a Fuck” for
The Marshall Mathers LP
. That’s why I did the same intro as I did on “Still Don’t”. That’s why—just like “Still Don’t Give a Fuck”—it’s the last song on the record. It sums up the whole album.
Who voiced the teller in the bank robbery skit?
Lisa Zee
What has Drum Programer DJ Head said about the song?
I was actually switching from using one drum machine to another at the time. I was using the SP1200 a lot, and beatheads know about that machine, it was very limited, but that damn sound on it was hard, very hard. It was just an old analog machine, simple as hell. So I was transitioning from that to an MPC3000, but I hadn’t learned how to work it yet. So “Criminal” was the last time I used the SP1200. For the rest of the songs, I would put the drum sounds in the SP1200, but then I would sample out of that into the MPC3000. A lot of the reason that
Marshall Mathers
knocks so hard is because it was all done on analog. We were recording on tape.
