About This Track

The closing track on 'Music to Be Murdered By: Side B', 'Discombobulated' was originally recorded in 2009 during the Relapse sessions before being repurposed for the 2020 deluxe edition. The Dr. Dre production summons the bombast of Eminem's Slim Shady peak, a deliberate callback to an era when the shock-rap id ran unchecked. Over a lurching, disorienting beat, Eminem cycles through memories of his Detroit come-up, name-checking Proof, Denaun, Eye-Kyu, and the Saint Andrew's Hall and Shelter venues where he honed his battle-rap chops before the major-label breakthrough. The verses toggle between nostalgic autobiography and gleeful absurdism, Eminem adopting the voice of someone whose brain is 'like ramen soup' and whose noodle's in a knot. He shouts out De La Soul's Trugoy, acknowledges his early debt to Nas, and frames his own chaotic headspace as both curse and creative fuel. The chorus literalises the title's meaning, flipping every axis until up is down and yes means no, a cartoonish rendering of cognitive overload that doubles as a mission statement for the album's provocations.

"Discombobulated" is a track by Eminem, from the album Music to Be Murdered By: Side B, released 18th December 2020. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Eminem.

Lyrics

Discombobulated

[Intro]

Oh, ayo, Dre

I'm discombobulated

Let's take 'em back (Accents)

In time (Everything's all fucked up)

I'm discombobulated, discombobulated

Miss, you ovulating? Wait, I didn't mean to

Piss you off, my lady, what I really meant to say is

It goes a little something like this

[Verse 1]

Soon as I'm through with the Unisom I'ma hit the snooze alarm

Before I lose my mind, who am I gonna use it on?

Utilizing this tool, I will execute a line

Like what I tried to do one time in my youth when I euthanized

My poodle in junior high, used to hide in my room and fly

To the moon and try suicide with the glue from my school supplies

Then Proof, Denaun

Eye-Kyu and I would climb in that hooptie to ride to 'Drew's and rhyme

Bodied Saint Andrew's Hall too many times to count

Before I tear up The Shelter, give my dawgs a pound

Now I'm 'bout to treat all of you rappers' noggins how

Dre does every time he goes back to Compton now

'Cause every so often I'll visit my old stomping grounds

And Doc's in the house, so you know the bong is out

Room is spinning like nine-hundred-thousand miles an hour

Forgot what I'm talkin' 'bout, fuck, I'm discombobulated

[Chorus]

Now up is down, left is right

Day is night now, in is out, black is white

So to-and-fro and side-to-side

Am I comin' or goin'? Man, I can't decide

'Cause back is forth now and stop means go

No means yes, but yes don't mean no

So, baby, please, take off your clothes

(No!) Yes! (No!) Yes! (No!) No! (Yes!) Oh! (Oh!), yeah

[Verse 2]

Just flew the coop, the cops are in hot pursuit

But the day they catch me is the day 50'll call a truce

And quash the feud with him and Ja and Ja'll actually spit a bar

That's not from a Dr. Seuss book and they'll start a group (Haha)

Fuck it, I'm a kook, I know I got a screw

And a couple of marbles loose, brain is like ramen soup

Shout to Trugoy, gotta give a De La salute

'Cause my noodle's in a knot, call it pasta noose (Posdnuos, yeah)

Wizard of ah's (Oz) and ooh's

Same Marshall Bruce in that battle who lost to Juice

Who also used to sound like Nas on "Live at the Barbeque"

Now I got the juice, wouldn't beef if I was you

Like, au jus, but beef, if like

"I was you," but, like, ah, fuck you (Man)

Long as I got these walls and these hallways I'm always

Have someone to argue with, I'm just all twisted, I'm discombobulated, man

[Chorus]

Now up is down, left is right

Day is night now, in is out, black is white

So to-and-fro and side-to-side

Am I comin' or goin'? Man, I can't decide

'Cause back is forth now and stop means go

No means yes, but yes don't mean no

So, baby, please, take off your clothes

(No!) Yes! (No!) Yes! (No!) No! (Yes!) Oh! (Oh!)

[Verse 3]

I'm at my best when I'm at my worst

And for that I'm blessed, so every time I rap I curse

And that's why press, I usually get attacked by first

They're at my neck like motherfucking vampires

So critics si-day I si-day the same shi-dit, I'm always degrading, little bi-ditch

Well, fi-duck 'em, they can si-duck my di-dick when I'm taking a shi-dit

Mid-y middle fid-inger is ex-tid-ended now, should I tell 'em where to put it?

I'm si-do fed up with it, they ask me dumb shi-dit

So I act like I'm on a kayak with my back to Niagara

No life jacket, man, I had like six psychiatrists, scientists

Misdiagnose me with plaque psoriasis 'cause I asked 'em, "Why is it

My eye itches?" so they gave me some diet tips

And Viagra with side effects, I might end up growing spiderwebs

In my head and dying a horrifying death, on my final breath

I will tell you, apply your lips to my dick, it's one size that fits

I just took an AIDS test and the doctor said to think positive, what the fuck?

[Chorus]

Now up is down, left is right

Day is night now, in is out, black is white

So to-and-fro and side-to-side

Am I comin' or goin'? Man, I can't decide

'Cause back is forth now and stop means go

No means yes, but yes don't mean no

So, baby, please, take off your clothes

(No!) Yes! (No!) Yes! (No!) No! (Yes!) Oh! (Oh!)

[Outro]

Haha, yeah

Dr. Dre

Black Bethoven

S1

2050, haha

We're out
