About This Track

'My Conscience' by Eminem is a track from 'Unmastered Sequence', released in 1998. The lyrics tell a story about Eddie, a 23-year-old who is fed up with life and plans to rob a liquor store, until a sudden moral reversal brings his conscience to the fore, interrupting the walk-in. The vocal framing shifts from an intro narration into a verse that reads like an urgent stop-and-think intervention, effectively turning the song into a moral brake pedal set to street-level decision-making. One short plea captures the warning tone: “Alright stop, now before you walk”.

"My Conscience" is a track by Eminem, from the album Unmastered Sequence, released 15th August 1998. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Eminem.

Lyrics

My Conscience

[Intro: Mark Avery]

Meet Eddie, twenty-three years old. Fed up with life and the way things are going, he decides to rob a liquor store. But on his way in, he has a sudden change of heart and suddenly his conscience comes into play

[Verse 1: Dr. Dre & Eminem]

Alright stop, now before you walk in the door

Of this liquor store and try to get money out the drawer

You better think of the consequence (But who are you?)

I'm your mothafuckin' conscience!

That's nonsense

Go in, gaffle the money and run to one of your Aunt's cribs

And borrow a damn dress and one of her blond wigs

Tell her you need a place to stay, you'll be safe for days

If you shave your legs with Renee's razor blades

Yeah but if it all goes through like it's supposed to

The whole neighborhood knows you and they'll expose you

Think about it before you walk in the door first

Look at the store clerk, she's older than George Burns!

Fuck that, do that shit, shoot that bitch

Can you afford to blow this shit, are you that rich?

Why you give a fuck if she dies? Are you that bitch?

Do you really think she gives a fuck if you have kids?

Man don't do it, it's not worth it to risk it (You're right!)

Not over this shit, drop the biscuit (I will!)

Don't even listen to Slim yo, he's bad for you

(You know what Dre, I don't like yo attitude)

[Chorus: Eminem]

These voices, these voices, I hear them

And when they talk, I follow, I follow

I follow, I follow all these voices

[Interlude: Mark Avery]

Meet Stan, 21 years old. After meeting a young girl at a rave party, things start getting hot and heavy in an upstairs bedroom. Once again, his conscience comes into play

[Verse 2: Eminem & (Dr. Dre)]

Now listen to me, while you're kissing her cheek

And smearing her lipstick, slip this in her drink

Now all you gotta do is nibble on this little bitch's earlobe

(Yo, this girl's only fifteen years old

You shouldn't take advantage of her, it's not fair)

Yo, look at her bush, does it got hair?

Fuck this bitch right here on the spot, bare

'til she passes out and she forgot how she got there

(Man, ain't you ever seen that one movie, Kids?)

No but I seen the porno with Sun Doobiest!

(Shit, you wanna get hauled off to jail?)

Man, fuck that, hit that shit raw dog and bail

[Chorus: Eminem]

These voices, these voices, I hear them

And when they talk, I follow, I follow

I follow, I follow all these voices

[Interlude: Mark Avery]

Meet Grady, a 29-year-old construction worker. After coming home from a hard day's work, he walks in the door of his trailer park home to find his wife in bed with another man (What the fuck?)

[Verse 3: Dr. Dre & (Eminem)]

Alright, calm down, relax, start breathing

(Fuck that shit, you just caught this bitch cheating

While you at work she's with some dude trying to get off

Fuck slitting her throat, cut this bitch's head off!)

Wait, what if there's an explanation for this shit?

(What, she tripped, fell, landed on his dick?)

Alright, Shady, maybe he's right Grady

But think about the baby before you get all crazy

Okay, thought about it? Still wanna stab her?

Grab her by the throat, get your daughter and kidnap her?

That's what I did, be smart don't be a retard

You gonna take advice from somebody who slapped Dee Barnes?

(What you say?) What's wrong? Didn't think I'd remember?

(I'ma kill you, mothafucka!) Uhh-ahh, temper, temper

Mr. Dre, Mr. N.W.A, Mr. AK

Coming straight outta Compton, y'all better make way

How in the fuck you gonna tell this man not to be violent?

Cause he don't need to go the same route that I went

Been there, done that, aw fuck it, what am I saying?

Shoot 'em both Grady, where's your gun at?
