About This Track

A showcase of Bad Meets Evil's collaborative chemistry, 'Echo' pairs Eminem and Royce da 5'9" over a track that builds around the simple, hypnotic pull of its title concept. Liz Rodrigues' chorus frames the song as a meditation on fame and influence: the noise that follows success, the way an artist's voice travels and multiplies across the world. The production lets that central idea breathe, returning to it as a kind of anchor. Eminem's verse is characteristically baroque and hostile, layering boasts with crude insults and metaphors that sprawl across multiple bars without settling. The voice of someone consumed by his own mythology, unable to escape the weight of his own reach. Royce enters in the second verse with a different energy, one more measured and reflective, and the contrast between the two rappers' approaches gives the track its shape. 'Echo' works because it understands that the song's title is not just a production trick but a statement about what happens when two voices occupy the same space.

"Echo" is a track by Bad Meets Evil, from the album Hell: The Sequel (Deluxe Edition), released 14th June 2011. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Echo

[Chorus: Liz Rodrigues]

All around the world, there's an echo

As he takes a bow, and they all know

All the girls, the boys

They chase the noise

Through the highs and through the lows

They will follow the echo

Echo, echo, echo

They will follow the echo

Echo, echo

[Segue: Eminem]

It seems like no matter what I do, I just can't get away from them

Get away from what?

The voices

I can hear 'em callin', callin', callin', callin', callin'

[Verse 1: Eminem]

I eat rappers—with the rhyme, consume 'em

The only fucking thing that you consume is time, I'm super human

My world is like a Rubik's Cube, it's too complex, girl, you assumin'

Cupid's looming, my mentality's caveman, stupid woman

My life is Truman Show, all I have is music, ho

I stopped chasing every chick under the sun many moons ago

So pretend my dick is a balloon and blow

But you better put a fork in it if you think I'ma lay here just spooning, yo

Oh, you think you the shit 'cause I just said you was beautiful?

Diabolical to my last molecule, down to my last hair follicle and cuticle

Rotten to the core to the bone cold

All the way down to my soul from my head to my toe

Ever since I was 13 I learned how to sew and sewed shut my own bootyhole

'Cause I ain't took no shit since I looked down to my nuts and saw my first pubic grow

I told these stupid hoes when I come back I'ma set this bitch on fire!

And this time I don't mean I'ma pour gasoline on some chick and light her

'Cause this time when I fuck this world I'ma put the whole goddamn dick inside her

I ain't even put my tip in that hole yet, I'ma go get Nickel and try to rip it wider

[Chorus: Liz Rodrigues]

All around the world, there's an echo

As he takes a bow, and they all know

All the girls, the boys

They chase the noise

Through the highs and through the lows

They will follow the echo

Echo, echo, echo

They will follow

The echo, echo, echo

[Pre-Verse 2: Royce da 5'9" & Eminem]

Shh!

Did you hear that? Somebody just said something

Is anybody there?

I can hear 'em callin', callin', callin', callin', callin' me

[Verse 2: Royce da 5'9"]

Classical poems, battle my own demons, I need a glass of Patron

Bad as I need a horn stabbing my clavicle bone, I'm matador prone

First time I seen a desert eagle I was letting the .44 buss, the .44 pop

The first time you seen one, you was eating Coco Puffs, looking at Robocop

I am not a man, I'm a logo, I'm a such thang

In order to clean my veins you need Saleen

I'm never referring to the solution, I'm talking about more like the Mustang

Vroom! Get respect from the get-go, hello! Step to the echo (Echo, echo)

Pen got a mind of its own, got to write my rhymes with a timer

Otherwise I'll probably vibe out to a nine minute song

As the echo follows the Maserati, as the petrol swallows

I'm a thousand bodies away from a skeleton, check your Bible inside it

It'll say this guy's an elephant, I'm fly like I'm killing the scene like

I'm a villain with wings, I'll sleep when I'm 6-feet deep

Right now I'm living a dream, though we may be reckless

The ladies check us, they whisper Shady Records, baby echo!

[Chorus: Liz Rodrigues]

All around the world, there's an echo

As he takes a bow, and they all know

All the girls, the boys

They chase the noise

Through the highs and through the lows

They will follow the echo

Echo, echo, echo

They will follow

The echo, echo, echo
