Liquid Propelled Model Rocket [Eminem]


You're lucky if you spot me travelling past you 'round the road

With a hat, hood, and jacket zipped up looking kinda old

Just know if I take 'em off, it's time for y'all to go

I'm like a rocket's combustion chamber, within a second I go from cool and calm to outputting abrasive audio

Primed to go off at any time and blow up a nursing home

Grind your bones before the sound reaches your ears in the process as I explode

I guess you could say I'm the bomb, like Wernher von Bruan

A lucid lunatic with avid visions that's taking them too far

First I was daydreaming about life among the stars

Now it's more like laser beams and plans to invade and conquer Mars

"Hey mister, stop with the nonsense, you're insane! Aren't you the one who broke into the courthouse and went on about an alien invasion that never came!?"

Never came? Actually, it was stopped: a flood ruined all Martian infrastructure in a planetary catastrophe

It isn't over yet though, you know what I see?

The rocks on Venus look similar to Mars' principalities

I say we exceed escape velocity and scrap on their own turf

Was looking for an excuse to commit some atrocities and overpack a hearse

Still not convinced? Fine, take this...

This telescope ought to show you what I'm saying makes sense

"It looks exactly how you described, almost like an eye..."

Yeah, an eye but on a global scale, but just keep this on the low don't get too vocal,

Don't want people comparing me with Percival Lowell

Alright, how's everybody feel? Hey self, dare me to fly?

Me, don't forget the weapons! T-minus 5 'til we shoot into the sky

And so we set off to Venus: me, myself, and I
