    Heard it on the radio this morning and d--- what a s--- song.

    First of all, the hook is nice. If this song was about actually making it and living out your dreams it could be great. Its just out of place.

    Instead

    - marshall is angry but... at who? He's insulting and ranting, but at who? And what does this have anything to do with the positive/happy chorus?
    - its all about d----s and cocks (and sucking rap nipples)
    - his agressive flow, ignoring the lyrics ughh

    Maybe Royce will talk about how he is living out his dreams!!!

    He's in jail :dead3:

    And.. jail turned him into a h---------- because he wants bruno to show his a--- and tells marshall he loves him.

    I think this song is eminem & royce coming out :kanye3:

    Thoughts?

    The hook is nice? It's the worst part of the song. Other than Royce's verse, which is pure embarrassment.

    Shameful moment of an otherwise great and consistent EP.

    Also how is Em's verse not on topic as you keep saying? He's using his comeback in music, and beating of a drug addiction against the odds as a story of triumph and 'living out his dreams'. Sounds pretty on topic to me.

    Yes it was consistent but not in a good way. Too many terrible punchlines & references to fast food,hoes & his penis.

    What a waste of a good Bruno Mars hook & beat.

    It was just a sellout song to get some sales for the Bad Meets Evil EP.

    Okay so I think what you're saying is... the tone of Em's verse doesn't mesh with the chorus? Because the lyrics/content = completely relevant.

    So if you are saying that, I agree. That's what makes the song sound so silly and forced. But rather than say Em's verse is out of place, I would say it's Bruno's chorus which is out of place. As Bruno fkn Mars shouldn't be on a Bad Meets Evil... Anything, lmao.

    Unfortunately Royce and Em were p-----s, and rather be creative and try to create a big song on their own merit - they thought they could use a cheap shortcut and just slap a made-to-be-a-hit chorus on a song. And, it was a hit, but it also ruined the EP. Em has little integrity these days.

    It's really not that hard to connect the dots from the hook to the verses.... If you really don't get it then here's the link to rapgenius for you: https://genius.com/Bad-meets-evil-lighters-lyrics
