    Lyrics:
    Lu Myself,
    first of all accuse myself, for bein a fool..
    all attempts to school myself have failed
    to improve means to remove myself
    from this pool of sharks dark as the mood I felt...
    Im loosin fuel, its all the food I refused myself
    thats how you do (how we do) when you do yourself
    And if I lose, I can never excuse myself
    til I grow old, sit back and accrued my wealth..
    You dont stand a chance,
    matter fact, u dont have half the stance (nope) to stand if u stood half a chance
    like C-H-A, to dance wit this man from the C-H-A's
    give it up, just abandon plans
    since U dont have half the stance like an amputee,
    U dont have half the pants that it takes to command a family, a fan, or command a fee..
    So u will never get the ransom u demand from me!
    The goodnews' my foot's loose, my hands are free,
    so I dance all foot-loose and fancy free..
    Big ups to Footloose and all the fans of me,
    my fanbase spans from Vans to Timberlands, from
    Mansions to section 8 campers, B..
    Im they chamion n I aint even sound standard, see
    I been lamping,
    whipping up an answer to these rappers, who got it backwards like they zippin up they pants to pee!!
    Like Im just a rapper, n I aint dapper.. Im frequently fly, I can go to France for free!!
    N i aint no fan n base, cookin up grahams of seed, weighin they wet, stretchin they O's like rubber bands, to feed! (Whoo!!)
    Like I was white boy, 100 grand a key
    what Im supposed to do with this little chump-ass, punk cash advance that they handed me??
    I came back wit birds like Brandon Lee.
    I came back wit words and stanzas, G!!
    Told ya! Write back, like Stan
    n imma stand till it answers me!!
    Im concentratin man, thats y imma oscillatin fan (no, no) when they wanna shake hands wit me!!
    It sucks right now! when u hear it, ya spirit just dampens, B..
    Like, damn, I thought thats my man, what the hell happened to he?!
    His fan base is disbandin, B, cuz his lyrics dont mirror when he first landed, see!!
    So give it to this lamb to please, so help me G-d imma kill it, thats my word
    remove this blind fold, just
    give us a chance to see!!
    N imma quit it the minute it abandons me!!
    My plan's to be
    here for a minute then im finished, im vamping, G
    most of these cats is pussies, pearl-tongues, oysters n clams to me!! Flinstone money!
    Cant even stand bein in they glances, jeez!!
    They say its lookin good, but from my vantage, B
    shit is sinkin like Atlantis be!
    im more set than Atlantis.. (whispering/mumbling)
    Yall not understanding me??
    Am I speaking Spanish, B??!
    well adios, homes! i look like a sloppy joe? (yeah) what am I, a Manwich, b?!!
    I gotta Big Mac, if U wanna sandwich, G!!
    Who else U know keep the McD tucked wit the Windy on his shoulder...? I told ya..
    Give it up dog, its over....."

    Em's amazing flow, syllables, cadences, assonances, story telling, message, the way he was able to draw a parallel between his real life and Jimmy Smith Jr., and just intensity and raw emotion /passion is what makes the original an all time untouchable classic.
    Lupe's ability to create these chain metaphors and triple entendres is what makes his version a masterpiece, along with his own incredible syllable game also.
    However, Em did pave the way, also made the beat too, so edge goes to him.

    Lupe`s delivery on this beat is amazing but he simply can`t match Em`s energy the same way Em couldn`t touch Lupe on his trademark songs

    @jesseclifton in order to urinate, a man has to zip his fly down. "Zippin up they pants to pee" is a simile affixes the phrase "these rappers got it backwards". Not only is it a clever simile, it is part of a complex string of multisyallabic rhyme that sounds quite impressive.

    Is still debatable. I believe Lupe's Version was definately more lyrical. And he actually was spitting with some conviction and passion which i wish he would do alot more often. Em was still lyrical but not quite as much as Lupe but his passion and conviction simply makes you feel his words more. Two different approaches both VERY good. The two best verses over this beat IMO I cant really say whos better.

    @0a170 i agree that Lupe is more abstract, creativity has to be equal bcuz although Lupe is more metaphorical, Em's early stages was the horrific psychopathic rap punchlines mixed in with the word play, he basically invented that style and brought it up and both are extremely artisically gifted. I go back and forth on who I think is the better overall mc and it just depends on what you look for in the perfect mc cuz neither of them really has any flaws.

    I hate when people compare rappers but Im gonna do it for this anyway. People need to look at these versions unbiasedly.. Honestly if you look past the fact that eminem is just assumed to be the best ever, etc, and truly compare the 2 versions. I can honestly say that Lupe killed him on this. Both tell a story but Lupe actually tells his by using complex wording. I feel like when anyone says "___ was better than Em" ppl automatically say NO, NO WAY, without even listening just cus its eminem.

    Em's lyricism is off the chain if you care for multis. Some of his most technical verses of all time while telling a story while using an insane flow and delivery. The hook and production are also perfect. Lupe is a great rapper but he just doesn't have the energy, emotion or technical skills em has. That being said Lupe at least before Lasers was one of the most complex rappers out there.
