About This Track

A loose, playful freestyle built on Mr. Porter's production, 'Tonite' finds Eminem cycling through internal rhyme schemes and boasts with the ease of someone warming up rather than settling a score. The track moves quickly through stacked couplets, piling up images of petty crime, sexual conquest, and rival-crushing without much narrative weight. It's party rap in the most literal sense: the chorus simply states the intention to have a good time, and the verses exist to fill the space between that declaration and its conclusion. The writing here is all muscle memory and technical display. Eminem stacks syllables and finds rhymes in unexpected places, but the subject matter stays shallow by design. There's no real antagonist, no genuine grievance, just the sound of a rapper enjoying the mechanics of his own voice. 'Tonite' works best as a document of that pleasure, rather than as a statement of anything beyond the moment it occupies.

"Tonite" is a track by Eminem, from the album Infinite - Single, released 12th November 1996. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Eminem.

Lyrics

Tonite

[Produced by Mr. Porter]

[Verse 1]

I'm givin' mad love, I'm snugglin' hugs

Strugglin' thugs, smugglin' drugs

Jugglin' jobs, guzzlin' jugs

So here's a toast to federal checks

Hetero sex, unaffordable medical debts, huh

We travel in packs, unravelin' facts

And gravel in cracks to find babblin' Max, gafflin' tracks

I grapple an axe for them bafflin' acts

Of mysterious stab-in-the-backs who dabble in wax

Stealin' my art when I sculpt it

The culprit that stole shit'll end up with his skull split

Then I bury the hatchet, I carry the fat shit

Butter Fingers is here when it's necessary to scratch it

Baby, all I wanna do is swallow one or two

Smoke a little bit and follow one of you

Back home when the party ends

So tonight I'm droppin' naughty hints

To the finest women in the audience

[Chorus]

'Cause we came here to do this tonight

We don't wanna fight, we don't want no one feelin' uptight

'Cause we came here to do this tonight

'Till the morning light, hope that everyone's feelin' alright

'Cause we came here to do this tonight

We don't wanna fight, we don't want no one feelin' uptight

'Cause we came here to do this tonight

'Till the morning light, hope that everyone's feelin' alright

[Verse 2]

Ayo, biters are like tarantulas, vandalers

Livin' as scandalous as a television evangelist

But I can handle this, I'm the rhyme biter, crime fighter

Caped crusader, takin' care of undeservin' limelighters

I think we live an era meant for me

Experimentally I found a way to spread the terror mentally

When I stumbled upon this resolution

By usin' a special fusion of chemical solution for this fresh illusion

You couldn't see me with binoculars

I'm armed like an octopus

Step on stage and you'll get socked and pushed

Talkin' that junk like you had Black Bart at your back

Come to battle me and you get smacked hard as you act

When I rep-a-resent it and will have a referee in it

Every minute, so when I win it you never resent it

I'm forever demented

Come up with funk, I'll never be scented

You got the point when I cleverly sent it

[Chorus]

'Cause we came here to do this tonight

We don't wanna fight, we don't want no one feelin' uptight

'Cause we came here to do this tonight

'Till the morning light, hope that everyone's feelin' alright

'Cause we came here to do this tonight

We don't wanna fight, we don't want no one feelin' uptight

'Cause we came here to do this tonight

'Till the morning light, hope that everyone's feelin' alright

[Verse 3]

Eminem is headed skyward

For those who thought that I would

Make you bored and treat you like a piece of plywood

I've got miracle lyrical capability all in me

With the agility to escape a killer bee colony

So get your cameras and capture how miraculous

I rap for all you Draculas

And showed you all how wack you was

I meant it as a diss

'Cause you don't posses the pizzazz of this

I'm hazardous enough already as it is

Without you addin' fuel to the fire, I'm cruel to the liar

Who fails to recognize my reign and hail rule to the sire

Clinical studies show that I'm cynical

There's no one who's identical

To my fresh and authentic flow

I'm sure the party people can agree

When I'm enchantin' with a romantically

Freakin' vocal so frantically

So throw your hands up in the atmosphere

And let them know the only party that was phat was here

Just be like

[Chorus]

'Cause we came here to do this tonight

We don't wanna fight, we don't want no one feelin' uptight

'Cause we came here to do this tonight

'Till the morning light, hope that everyone's feelin' alright

'Cause we came here to do this tonight

We don't wanna fight, we don't want no one feelin' uptight

'Cause we came here to do this tonight

'Till the morning light, hope that everyone's feelin' alright
