[Intro: Joyner Lucas]
Woah, Joyner, Joyner, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yеah, yeah

[Refrain: Joyner Lucas]
Yeah, I done did a lot of things in my day, I admit it
I don't takе back what I say, if I said it, then I meant it
All my life I want a Grammy, but I'll prolly never get it
I ain't never had no trophy or no motherfuckin' ribbon (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Fuck the system, I'm that n***a, bend the law, cut the rules
I'm about to risk it all, I ain't got too much to lose (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Y'all been eatin' long enough, it's my turn to cut the food (Yeah)
Pass the plate (Yeah), where my drink (Hol' up)?
This my day (Yeah, yeah), lucky you, fuck you too, woo

[Chorus: Joyner Lucas]
Y'all gotta move, y'all gotta move, y'all gotta move
Give me some room (Woo), give me some room (Hey), give me the juice
Hop out the coupe, hop out the coupe, hop out and shoot
Y'all gotta move (Boom, bap), y'all gotta move (Woo), give me the juice
[Verse 1: Joyner Lucas]
Back on my bullshit, my back to the wall
Turn my back on you, all of you finished (Bap, bop, bop)
Back to these bullets, it's back to the job
Pull my MAC out and all of you runnin' (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Back on my hood shit, it's back to the pushin'
These packs and I'm actually pumpin'
Can't fuck with you rappers, you practically suckin' (Yeah)
You might'a went platinum but that don't mean nothin'
I'm actually buzzin' this time
Straight out the kitchen, I told 'em the oven is mine
I do not fuck with you guys (Woo)
If I don't kill you, just know you gon' suffer this time (Yeah)
I ain't no gangster, but I got some bangers
Some chains and some blades and a couple of knives
Choppers and jammies, a partridge, a pear tree
My Twelve Days of Christmas was nothin' but lies (I)
Run at you hard like a sumo (Sumo)
They say I talk like a chulo (Chulo)
I live on Mars, I'm not Bruno (Woo)
Bitch, I'm a dog, call me Cujo (Rah)
You play your cards, I reverse on you all
And I might just draw four like a Uno (Bup)
Cállate boca mejor, maricón
Little puto, and all of you culo (Joyner)
They've invented a level up in the ghetto to get old
Lookin' for somethin' I prolly can never find now (Yeah, yeah)
Shit get relevant 'til all the beef die down (Yeah)
In truth, a n***a just really want me tied down (Bop, bop)
I've been alone and I never needed nobody
Just only me and my shawty, I'll tell these n***as to lie down
Keep all the money, I never wanted the lifestyle
I just pray to God that my son'll be alright now (Woo, woo)
I said ain't no love for the other side
Or anyone who ever want smoke (Joyner)
When I die I'm goin' out as the underdog who never lost hope (Yeah)
You in the wrong cab, down the wrong path
N***a, wrong way, wrong road (Woo, woo)
Snakes in the grass tryna slither fast
I just bought a fuckin' lawn mower (Vroom)
See rap shows near Philadelphia
Get tickets as low as $40

[Refrain: Eminem]
I done said a lotta things in my day, I admit it
This is payback in a way (Yeah), I regret it that I did it
I done won a couple Grammys, but I sold my soul to get 'em (Ah)
Wasn't in it for the trophies (Nah), just the fuckin' recognition
Fuck's the difference? I'm that cracker, bend the law, fuck the rules
Man, I used to risk it all, now I got too much to lose
I've been eatin' long enough, man, my stomach should be full
I just ate, licked the plate, my buffet, lucky me, fuck you think? (Woo)

[Verse 2: Eminem]
I got a couple of mansions
Still, I don't have any manners
You got a couple of ghostwriters
But to these kids, it don't actually matter
They're askin' me, "What the fuck happened to hip-hop?"
I said, "I don't have any answers"
'Cause I took an L when I dropped my last album
It hurt me like hell, but I'm back on these rappers (Yeah)
And actually comin' from humble beginnings
I'm somewhat uncomfortable winning
I wish I could say, "What a wonderful feeling
We're on the upswing like we're punchin' the ceiling"
But nothin' is feeling like anyone has any fuckin' ability
To even stick to a subject, it's killin' me
The inability to pen humility
Ha-ta-ta, ba-ta-ta, why don't we make a bunch of
Fuckin' songs about nothin' and mumble 'em?
Fuck it, I'm goin' for the jugular
Shit is a circus, you clowns that are comin' up
Don't give an ounce of a motherfuck
About the ones that were here before you that made rap (Yeah)
Let's recap, way back, MC's that (What?)
Wreak havoc on tape decks (Woo)
ADAT's, where the G Raps and Kanes at?
We need 3 Stacks ASAP and bring Masta Ace back
'Cause half of these rappers have brain damage
All the lean rappin', face tats, syruped out like tree sap
I don't hate trap (Nah), and I don't wanna seem mad
But in fact (Yeah), where the old me at? The same cat
That would take that feedback and aim back, I need that
But I think it's inevitable they know what button to press
Or what lever to pull to give me to snap though (Lil' bitch)
And if I pay it attention, I'm prob'ly makin' it bigger
But you've been takin' ya dicks and I'm fuckin' back, ho (Get it?)
On the brink, any minute got me thinkin' of finishin'
Everything with acetaminophen and reapin' the benefits
I'm asleep at the wheel again, as I begin to thinkin' about an evil intent of another beat I'ma kill again
'Cause even if I gotta end up eating a pill again
Even ketamine or methamphetamine with the minithin
It better be at least seventy or three-hundred milligram
And I might as well 'cause I'ma end up bein' a villain again
Levels to this shit, I got an elevator
You could never say to me I'm not a fuckin' record breaker (Yeah)
I sound like a broken record every time I break a record
Nobody could ever take away the legacy I made, I never cater
Motherfucker, now I got a right to be this way
I got spite inside my DNA (Yeah)
But I roll 'til the wheels fall off, I'm working tirelessly, ayy
It's the moment y'all been waitin' for like California
Wishin' rain to pour in that drought, y'all
Been prayin' for my downfall (Yeah)
From the 8 Mile to the Southpaw
Still the same Marshall, that outlaw
That they say as a writer might've fell off
I'm back on that bull like the cowboys
[Chorus: Eminem & Joyner Lucas]
So y'all gotta move, yeah, y'all gotta move, yeah, y'all gotta move
Give me some room (Woo), give me some room (Hey), give me the juice
Hop out the coupe (Joyner), hop out the coupe (Joyner), hop out and shoot
Y'all gotta move (Boom, bap), y'all gotta move (Woo), give me the juice

“Lucky You” marks the first collaboration between Eminem and Joyner Lucas, whom people have pointed out, shares many characteristics with Em in terms of rhyme and flow

Their verses are polar opposites, a thematic structure often employed by Joyner in his songs to show opposing perspectives of the same topic (see “Ross Capicchioni” and “I’m Not Racist”)

Here, Joyner comments on how he hasn’t received any awards, although he is steadily gaining recognition. For instance, the video for his song “I’m Not Racist” went viral in 2017

Em’s verse, on the other hand, is about how he’s at the top in terms of awards and status but is being overlooked in the current rap scene. This is a recurring theme throughout this album as well as other 2018 releases, such as the remix of “Chloraseptic.”

Joyner hit a top speed of 7.73 syllables per second, starting from “they’ve invented a level up in the ghetto to get old” and stopping at “I just pray to God that my son’ll be alright now”

While this is 2.42 syllables per sec slower than Eminem’s top speed in this song (10.15 syllables per sec) and not Joyner’s fastest, it is still articulated in a very impressive manner

Curtain Call 2 (2022)
EminemThe intersection of "NSA," "language marketing," and "NLP" brings together several distinct fields:
* National Security Agency (NSA): Primarily focused on signals intelligence (SIGINT), cybersecurity, and foreign language analysis for national security purposes
* Language Marketing: The use of language and linguistic principles to effectively promote products, services, or ideas to target audiences
* Natural Language Processing (NLP): A field of Artificial Intelligence that enables computers to understand, interpret, and generate human language
It's important to clarify that the NSA's direct involvement in "language marketing" in the commercial sense is highly unlikely. The NSA's mission centers on national security intelligence, not commercial marketing
However, we can explore the concepts and potential overlaps:
How the NSA uses NLP and Language Analysis:
The provided search results highlight the significant role of NLP and language analysis within the NSA:
* Intelligence Gathering: NLP is crucial for analyzing vast amounts of multilingual data from various sources (social media, news, intercepted communications) to identify potential threats and enhance situational awareness. This includes machine translation, sentiment analysis, and entity extraction
* Cybersecurity: NLP helps in analyzing text-based data for cyber threats, identifying malicious content, and understanding the context of online communications
* Foreign Language Analysis: NSA language analysts use their proficiency and computational tools (including NLP) to understand foreign communications, identify key information, and produce summaries and translations for intelligence reports
* Research and Development: The NSA conducts research in human language technologies, including NLP, to improve their analytical capabilities and develop new techniques for processing and understanding language data
Potential (Indirect) Connections to "Language Marketing" Concepts:
While the NSA doesn't do commercial marketing, some of the underlying principles and techniques used in their language analysis could conceptually relate to marketing:
* Sentiment Analysis: Understanding public sentiment towards a brand (marketing) is similar to understanding sentiment related to potential threats or geopolitical situations (NSA)
* Target Audience Understanding: Identifying the characteristics and communication patterns of a target market (marketing) shares some similarities with understanding the communication patterns of adversaries or specific groups of interest (NSA)
* Persuasion and Influence Detection: While marketing aims to persuade consumers, the NSA might be interested in detecting and analyzing attempts at foreign influence and disinformation, which involves understanding persuasive language techniques
* Content Analysis: Analyzing large volumes of text to extract key themes and information is relevant in both marketing (understanding trends, customer feedback) and national security (identifying threats, intelligence)
Ethical Considerations:
The use of NLP for national security purposes, especially when dealing with vast amounts of personal data and potentially sensitive information, raises significant ethical concerns:
* Privacy: Collecting and analyzing personal communications requires careful consideration of privacy rights and data protection
* Bias: NLP models trained on biased data can produce biased results, potentially leading to unfair or discriminatory outcomes
* Transparency and Accountability: The algorithms and processes used in national security intelligence should ideally be transparent and accountable to ensure oversight and prevent misuse
* Dual Use and Misuse: NLP technologies developed for security purposes could potentially be misused for surveillance, censorship, or manipulation
In conclusion:
The NSA's focus is on national security intelligence and involves sophisticated language analysis using NLP techniques. While there are conceptual overlaps between some of these techniques and the principles used in language marketing (such as sentiment analysis and audience understanding), the NSA is not directly involved in commercial marketing. The ethical implications of using NLP for national security are significant and require careful consideration
