Eminem launched a blistering attack on President Donald Trump, and some of his own fans in a new cypher called The Storm which was shown at the 2017 Billboard Hip Hop Awards last night.
The cypher is trending on social media and has elicited responses from many stars including Lebron James, Colin Kaepernick and Snoop Dogg. Several people have stated that they will keep vigil on Twitter as they await Donald Trump’s response.
Eminem – The Storm (2017).
Here’s the lyrics of his cypher…
This the calm before the storm right here Wait, how was I gonna start this off? I forgot Oh, yeah
That’s an awfully hot coffee pot Should I drop it on Donald Trump? Probably not But that’s all I got ’til I come up with a solid plot
Got a plan, and now I gotta hatch it Like a damn Apache with a tomahawk I’ma walk inside a mosque on Ramadan And say a prayer that every time Donald talks She gets a mop–ahh, I’ma stop
But we better give Obama props ‘Cause what we got in office now’s a kamikaze That’ll probably cause a nuclear holocaust And while the drama pops and he waits for poo to quiet down He’ll just gas his plane up and fly around ’til the bombing stops
Intensities heightened, tensions are rising Trump, when it comes to giving a poo, you’re stingy as I am Except when it comes to having the balls to go against me, you hide ’em ‘Cause you don’t got the bleeping nuts like an empty asylum
Racism’s the only thing he’s fantastic for ‘Cause that’s how he gets his bleeping rocks off and he’s orange Yeah, sick tan, that’s why he wants us to disband ‘Cause he can not withstand The fact we’re not afraid of Trump Bleep walkin’ on egg shells, I came to stomp That’s why he keeps screamin’, “Drain the swamp” ‘Cause he’s in quicksand
It’s like we take a step forwards, then backwards But this is his form of distraction Plus, he gets an enormous reaction When he attacks the NFL so we focus on that Instead of talking Puerto Rico or gun reform for Nevada All these horrible tragedies and he’s bored and would rather Cause a Twitter storm with the Packers Then says he wants to lower our taxes Then who’s gonna pay for his extravagant trips Back and forth with his fam to his golf resorts and his mansions? Same poo that he tormented Hillary for and he slandered Then does it more
From his endorsement of Bannon Support from the Klansmen Tiki torches in hand for the soldier that’s black And comes home from Iraq And is still told to go back to Africa
Fork and a dagger in this racist 94-year-old grandpa Who keeps ignoring our past historical, deplorable factors Now, if you’re a black athlete You’re a spoiled little brat for tryna use your platform or your stature To try to give those a voice who don’t have one He says, “You’re spittin’ in the face of vets who fought for us, you bastards” Unless you’re a POW who’s tortured and battered ‘Cause to him, you’re zeros ‘Cause he don’t like his war heroes captured That’s not disrespecting the military
Bleep that, this is for Colin, ball up a fist And keep that poo balled like Donald the bitch “He’s gonna get rid of all immigrants” “He’s gonna build that thing up taller than this” Well, if he does build it, I hope it’s rock solid with bricks ‘Cause like him in politics, I’m using all of his tricks ‘Cause I’m throwing that piece of poo against the wall ’til it sticks
And any fan of mine who’s a supporter of his I’m drawing, in the sand, a line You’re either for or against And if you can’t decide who you like more and you’re split On who you should stand beside I’ll do it for you with this: “Bleep you!” The rest of America stand up We love our military, and we love our country But we bleeping hate Trump
