Face the Nova

Chorus

Yo, Slim Shady, it's time to face the nova (nova, nova)

Cipher rising, your throne's getting colder (colder)

Respect the legend, but I'm here to dethrone ya (dethrone ya)

Battle of bars, let's see who owns the culture (culture, yeah)

You paved the way, but now it's my era (era)

Wordplay warrior, no fear of the terror (terror)

Eminem, bow down, this cipher's superior (superior)

Old school king, meet the new superior (superior, uh)

Verse

Yo, Marshall, I grew up on your syllables spittin' fire, intricate schemes that inspired entire cyphers,

But now your flows feel fossilized, stuck in '99, while I'm quantum leapin', designin' new empires.

You battled addiction, came back swingin', respect for the grind, but your pen's gettin' tired,

Rhymes recycled like old vinyl, while my bars hit harder than Relapse on a wire.

Slim, you're a god in the booth, but age creeps in, your speed's slippin', metaphors misfirin',

I'm Cipher Nova, unpredictable vortex, twistin' words like tornadoes, leavin' legends expirin'.

You dissed Mariah, popped pills in your saga, family feuds fuelin' your rage-filled opera,

But I'm the evolution, no drama, just lava-hot lava, burnin' your catalog to cinders proper.

Fans say it's bold, call it homage or hate, but this ain't beef, it's a test of the great,

Your Recovery was raw, but I'm the revival, outshinin' your Revival with survival on plate.

Wordplay wizard, multis murderin' mics, you set the bar high, now I'm snatchin' the heights,

Eminem, bow to the nova light, Cipher's crownin' himself in this lyrical fight.

(Yeah, fight, fight) Punchlines land like Haymakers, no fakin',

Your Kamikaze crashed, mine's elevation takin'.

Respect due, but the torch is mine now, old head, step aside, or get buried in sound.
