It's why we sing for these kids that don't have a thing
Except for a dream and a fucking rap magazine
Who post pinup pictures on their walls all day long
Idolise their favourite rappers and know all they songs
Or for anyone who's ever been through shit in they lives
So they sit and they cry at night, wishing they die
Till they throw on a rap record, and they sit and they vibe
We're nothing to you, but we're the fuckin' shit in their eyes
That's why we sieze the moment, and try to freeze it and own it
Squeeze it and hold it, 'cos we consider these minutes golden
And maybe they'll admit it when we're gone
Just let our spirits live on, through out lyrics that you hear in our songs>the life itself

Listened to that lots of times and that is one of the most memorable verses for me from Em. Relates to me perfectly

[Slim Fiasco]

It's a very easy to relate verse and it's great that he is backing us fans up, regardless if we need it.

My favorite verse ever.. i don't know, it's just so powerful to me.
I can relate but really, who can't? I got goosebumps everytime I hear but everytime i read that part, like the quoted lines, his voice comes back in my head and give me goosebumps.

It's just perfect.. I don't know. It's better than lose yourself.. It's an anthem to the youth. I love It.

Written down, it looks great but hearing it after the anger and passion of the preceding verses is even more breathtaking. I'd call it the highlight of The Eminem Show... and thats quite something. The song is in that league where you can play it at work 6 hours on repeat and still feel the passion in your veins. Its a beauty.

Twisted the last bit

That's why we sieze the moment, and try to freeze it and own it
Squeeze it and hold it, 'cos we consider these minutes golden

To create my username, signature and philosophy for life.

It's not very good. Just angry yelling about the media targeting him.

I much prefer 50/Biggie's effortless flow.

u really are mad.
