I’ve been looking to see if anyone’s figured this bar out. I think he’s literally meaning “I’m the same size she wears” if she wears a 5 in a half size shoe Eminem is only 5 foot 8 so he’s probably saying I’m I’m five in a half feet tall, like her shoe size. I think that makes the most sense to me honestly
Manny
2021-08-04 23:07:48 +0000 UTCYeah Em said in an interview that that’s the plan. Black Magic is the prequel to Premonition which explains why he’s killing a woman who’s a metaphor for the beat, he’s actually murdering the beat that’s the idea of the album
Edwin younes
2021-07-05 20:07:02 +0000 UTCMy guess is that the end of this song connects with the first track on side A. There are the same murdering sounds at the start of Premonition, where he eventually buries a girl. If you try to listen one after another it makes some sense, but the theme of the 2 songs it's not the same. Maybe these songs were met to be on the same album, but I don't know.

2021-01-08 21:55:56 +0000 UTCHe couldve meant nitrous cause thats what they use in hospitals to put you under... it makes you feel numb so that you cant feel the pain of surgery
Tyrone Shemlowski
2020-12-22 20:46:09 +0000 UTCWhoever typed these lyrics is a dummy, he said “knife as” not “nitrous” - among many other mistakes
Tyler Carroll
2020-12-22 07:22:14 +0000 UTCThis is why I don't like "fan made lyric videos". 1/2 the time they are wrong, and the other 1/2 they are trying to be "artistic" with the presentation and break up verses in the wrong places. I prefer the "official" lyric versions, the basic white words on black screens type that are normally released on "official pages". At least then you know the words that are MEANT to be used and where.
Herrzimm
2020-12-22 05:45:44 +0000 UTCYou really shouldn’t read the lyrics. Half the time they are wrong and it’s just confusing. Just sit back, close your eyes and let shady transport you. You’ll still catch them bars. Fire reactions though
Brian
2020-12-22 03:02:25 +0000 UTCReferencing his love for the rap game as the “bitch”
Damon LaBorde
2020-12-21 23:05:12 +0000 UTCI think your 100 percent right. The murder scene at the end of this song is the beginning to premonition. Which was 100 percent him murdering the rap game.
Chris
2020-12-21 21:25:55 +0000 UTCAlso, "She's got me under her thumbnail," makes me think of Thumbnails on videos, and we talk all the time about how including Eminem in a video title/thumbnail is so commonplace for clickbait, and Em knows it, but he can't stop giving into it because he loves hip hop.
Ricky St. Augustine
2020-12-21 18:14:53 +0000 UTC"I don't buy her designer because I don't pander." The artist Designer made the song Panda (which is how he pronounces "pander"), which he seems to think panders the Hip Hop culture, which is why he won't work with Designer to make music to sell.
Ricky St. Augustine
2020-12-21 17:58:13 +0000 UTCI'm pretty sure the line about wondering what her insides look like is a reference back to Gnat's Marilyn Monroe lines. She had vivid nightmares (potentially due to the heroine and other drug use) that she wrote about in her journal. In her most famous one, a doctor cut her open with the sole purpose of just seeing what her insides looked like.
Ricky St. Augustine
2020-12-21 17:48:50 +0000 UTCThis might come off bad, but I think "Black Magic" is him referring to hip hop explicitly. I'm pretty sure he was really into magic as a kid. Regardless, hip hop was like magic for him because of how it changed his life, and hip hop is built upon black culture. Black magic is also something that used to be used to help heal people, then mainstream (white, Christian) culture called it devilish, then it became a cool spectacle that people fawn over, and for the most part, only the people who conduct the act actually understand how it works and what makes it truly impressive.

2020-12-21 17:45:55 +0000 UTCI got Third Ernest in my right AirPod and Stevie in my left breaking down black magic and book of rhymes. Em gets some kick ass beats on a coupe of these song game over. He is on such a different level with his pen it’s not even close. You cannot know what you’re talking about and deny that. I give up trying to say he’s not the best ever.
Chris Sturgill
2020-12-21 15:07:49 +0000 UTCHey just wanted to mention this, it’s a metaphor for the rap game, which is why he says blood on my mic cause he’s killing the game but he also loves her, there are a handful of songs on this album that’s a metaphor for the rap game and his love/hate relationship
William Bolen
2020-12-21 14:13:27 +0000 UTCAlso he can be talking about the game in general how he went deep with cuts and all that and killed the game “her”.. could be..
Adam Kablan
2020-12-21 14:13:01 +0000 UTCHe wasn't saying nitrous, he was saying the knife jabs and it slices. Since he getting stabbed in the back..
Stealum Willum
2020-12-21 13:54:31 +0000 UTC"No turning back, I'm blacking" Maybe Em is referring to that saying "Once you go black, you don't go back"?? Cuz he's killing his girl and going to get another girl (a black girl), so he is not going back..... Am I reaching?? Anyways, shout out from BRAZIL!!
Tiago Alcântara
2020-12-21 12:54:39 +0000 UTCI also think favorite bitch is very good too.
Gary Raffa
2020-12-21 12:35:01 +0000 UTCI love tone deaf. Reminds me of Ems older hooks. The sarcasm dry humor
Gary Raffa
2020-12-21 12:33:06 +0000 UTCThe shoos are different but both Nike airs and the size so they got the same sole hence they are “sole”mates 😉 it makes perfect sense
Tobias Montana
2020-12-21 12:17:04 +0000 UTCI agree maybe it gonna take some time for people to catch up lol. Also his last verse on Higher is some of his sickest flow/writing he’s ever done
matt thompson
2020-12-21 11:40:02 +0000 UTCAnd then at the end he starts digging... it’s the prequel of Premonitions on the A Side. Fucking genius!
Kostia
2020-12-21 07:22:20 +0000 UTCagreed
Carl Fairbank
2020-12-21 06:30:52 +0000 UTCis it just me, or is These Demons criminally underrated? I see zero coverage of that song
Carl Fairbank
2020-12-21 06:30:17 +0000 UTCBut he is talking about the game, the music game is his bich. that's why its music to be murdered by, he is murdering the game and seeing the insides of the game. Another clue is the last bar there is blood on my mic. Its genius!
anonymous
2020-12-21 06:25:44 +0000 UTCIt’s really like he has to do this so he can teach himself to learn what else he can do
Laz
2020-12-21 05:44:39 +0000 UTCThis one was dope. He just keeps getting better
Laz
2020-12-21 05:44:07 +0000 UTCLet’s gooooooo!!! Ready for ur head to spin off

cr!t!c
2020-12-21 04:58:47 +0000 UTCThat imagine dragon scheme was tough. I had to google. The way he annunciated “dragon”, and I couldn’t connect radioactive to anything. Then ahhhhhhhh there it is LOL. I thought he was saying magic dragon for a sec, lol. Man Skylar’s voice.... She posted selfie vid doing chorus acapella, dayummm
cr!t!c
2020-12-21 04:57:21 +0000 UTCThat's a good point too. It's an obscure line, but I think both of those fit the context.
Dustin Sisler
2020-12-21 04:48:49 +0000 UTCLol maybe that person created their own accidental bar?
Mike
2020-12-21 04:34:39 +0000 UTCwrong lyrics af, it's better to follow the original lyrics written in the description box of the songs on Em's youtube channel, they're the real lyrics and no confusion
Habbylegions
2020-12-21 04:33:25 +0000 UTCYea these type of songs ain’t for me but I get y others like it. I dont think it’s bad but not one of the top
Mike
2020-12-21 04:33:24 +0000 UTCYea I know but either way Stevie will get the bars but I don’t see him liking the beat or chorus
Mike
2020-12-21 04:30:11 +0000 UTCYes ... along those lines I also thought it meant that in a lot of ways they have stuff in common (I’m the same size she wears) but (like two different Nike airs) they just shouldn’t be together because even though they are the same size they are two different shoes.
Mrs. Smith
2020-12-21 04:25:17 +0000 UTCYeah All three are the exact same
Jmjf18
2020-12-21 04:22:14 +0000 UTCIt’s also how alfreds theme starts.
Angelo
2020-12-21 04:20:28 +0000 UTC😆 @desertkate as soon as I heard that song I tweeted “WHO’S MICHELLE?”
Mrs. Smith
2020-12-21 04:19:48 +0000 UTCOk people saying wrong lyrics which I thought but when he was saying nitrous I was thinking em said his ass is whipped. Isn’t nitrous in a can of whipped cream or am I wrong?
Mike
2020-12-21 04:18:46 +0000 UTCI think the "I'm the same size she wears" line just means that he is the type of guy she goes for in a relationship. Someone she can walk over.
Dustin Sisler
2020-12-21 04:18:40 +0000 UTCHe did talk about a woman on guns blazing. But, ur right its usually a metaphor, I was thinking that guns blazing was one too, til he dropped her name 👀
DesertKate Walker
2020-12-21 04:17:33 +0000 UTCI think so I don’t think these days he actually ever writes about women it always the rap game.
matt thompson
2020-12-21 04:11:28 +0000 UTCWRONG lyrics... they suck every time - knife is what fits in that scheme "And I got her back, but I'm spineless (Yeah) So when she stabs me in mine (Yeah) It's like I just can't feel the knife (What?) As she pokes, jabs it, and slices"
Toni-Ann
2020-12-21 04:02:24 +0000 UTCYes! I noticed right away it’s how Premonition starts. Only seen one person notice that so far.
Mrs. Smith
2020-12-21 04:00:13 +0000 UTCDefo one of the weaker songs im a bit tired of his toxic love songs but LETSGO 🤙🏻
Kyle
2020-12-21 03:57:32 +0000 UTCHey by the way, The ending screams of the girl dying are the same screams at the beginning of premoniton on MTBMB side A, the first track. Its almost like what led into the first album
Jmjf18
2020-12-21 03:55:59 +0000 UTCDoes anyone else think this might be a metaphor about his music career or am I reaching? I know Favorite Bitch covers that but I wondered about this one also.
Mrs. Smith
2020-12-21 03:51:16 +0000 UTCIt’s a relevant song for the time, though. And we all know how he feels about soft ass cancel culture. Plus, there’s a lot of subtlety to catch in it. I think he’ll have fun with it.
Justin Speer
2020-12-21 03:41:11 +0000 UTCI do too.
STARK
2020-12-21 03:40:33 +0000 UTCFavs off the album 1. Book of Rhymes 2. Higher 3. These demons
matt thompson
2020-12-21 03:32:59 +0000 UTCWell atleast he didn’t say he hated the beat lol 🤷🏻♂️
Michael manchester
2020-12-21 03:31:53 +0000 UTCI think the chorus is FIRE!
Jimmy McMinn
2020-12-21 03:30:54 +0000 UTCSucker For Pain (which he said in the line before the radioactive line) is another Imagine Dragons song
Riipsaw
2020-12-21 03:25:50 +0000 UTCTone Deaf’s a 🔥🔥🔥track tho.
STARK
2020-12-21 03:25:29 +0000 UTCYeah that is so cool
