About This Track

A posse cut built on swagger and territorial assertion, 'Invasion' pairs Eminem with 50 Cent, Obie Trice and D-Twizzy in a show of Shady Records force. The track opens with a sampled Eminem hook that sets the tone: business, no time for games. What follows is a series of threats wrapped in boasts, the collective voice of the label closing ranks against unnamed rivals. Eminem's verse is a masterclass in escalation. He moves from simple declarations of dominance through increasingly baroque wordplay, stacking references and internal rhymes until the language itself becomes a weapon. The threats are explicit and absurd in equal measure: threats of violence pivot into nursery-rhyme cadences, into comparisons with Jay-Z and The Notorious B.I.G., into a punchline about P!nk. It's the sound of a rapper confident enough in his position to play with form, to let the verse sprawl and mutate rather than snap to a predetermined shape. The hook hammers home the message with blunt repetition: Shady Records owns the territory, and anyone thinking otherwise will face consequences.

"Invasion" is a track by Eminem, from the album Eminem Vs. DJ Whoo Kid: Shady Classics, released 1st November 2002. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Eminem.

Lyrics

Invasion

[Sample: Eminem]

"So let's get down to business

I don't got no time to play around, what is this?"

What is this?—What is this?

[Intro: Eminem]

The Invasion! (Invasion!)

Yeah! Yeah!

Green Lantern! (Green Lantern!)

The infiltration

We coming! Yeah!

[Bridge: Eminem]

I got 50 Cent, I got G-Unit (Uh-huh)

D-Twizzy in this bitch (Haha), with Obie Trice (Woo!)

So watch what you say (Uh-huh), 'fore you call our name (Yep)

'Cause you say one more thing and it won't be nice!

[Verse: Eminem]

Whoa, here we go, I should've known

I was bound to get pulled into some bullshit

Sooner or later, you little haters

Are too jealous of us, still love us, you hate it, G-Unit made it

And Obie's coming, D-Twizzy's coming

You're sick to your stomach ("UGH!")

Fifty percent of it's 50 Cent

The other 50 percent of it's whose color of skin it is

But if you even considering takin' our label down

You better find our building and fly a fuckin' plane into it

But I ain't tryna get too intricate into it

I'm just tryna give you a little hint for your own benefit

'Cause then it's gonna get to the point where it escalates

Into some other shit, then I'ma flip

Then I'ma get to "Stomping in my Air Force Ones"

But you won't be able to tell if it's two pairs or it's one

It's just gonna feel like so many feet kicking you

You'll think Nike just made these into cleats in the shoe

I don't know what it is or what it could be

But I get a woody when these pussies try to push me

Thinking they gonna put me in a position to pickle me (Woo!)

Y'all tickle me pink, I think I'd just rather have P!nk tickle me (Hehe)

Hickory-dickory-dock, tickety-tock-tickety

A little bit of the diggedy-Doc-diggedy

Mixed with a little bit of the Jigga-J-Jigga

With a small pinch of Biggie

Look at me, I'm just the bomb-diggedy

[Hook: Eminem]

We the realest label

Don't try to act like you don't feel our label

'Cause we gon' fuck around and kill your label

Obie, D-Twizzy, G-Unit, 50, Shady Records, we the label fa' sho!

We the realest label

Don’t try to act like you don’t feel our label

'Cause we gon' fuck around and steal your paper

Obie, D-Twizzy, G-Unit, 50, we gon' kill your fucking label fa' sho!

Yeah!

[Post-Hook: Eminem]

Shady in the place to be see

And I got what it takes to rock the mic right!

Still watch what you say to me, punk

'Cause I'm off probation in less than six months! {*gun cocks*}

[Outro: Eminem]

Haha! (Woo!)

Shady Records

Still Aftermath

And don't think we don't hear you motherfuckers talking!

'Cause we do

We see y'all

But we just gon' sit back for a minute and watch what the FUCK y'all do!
