Un fiume per Eminem ed Ed


Il protagonista  del post di oggi è un cantante che ho pubblicato poche volte nonostante abbia una carriera discografica pluriennale. Si tratta di Eminem, probabilmente il rapper bianco di maggior successo nel mondo. Ha apppena pubblicato "Revival" il nuovo album di inediti. Il singolo uscito in questi giorni si intitola "River" e vede la collaborazione tra Eminem e Ed Sheeran, due personaggi molto "distanti" almeno pubblicamente. Vediamo se musicalmente sono più affini di quanto si possa immaginare. Buon sabato e buon ascolto. A domani!!River (Eminem feat. Ed Sheeran)[Chorus: Ed Sheeran] I've been a liar, been a thief Been a lover, been a cheat All my sins need holy water, feel it washin' over me Oh, little one, I don't want to admit to something If all it's gonna cause is pain Truth in my lies right now are falling like the rain So let the river run[Verse 1: Eminem] He's coming home with his neck scratched to catch flack Sweat jackets and dress slacks, mismatch On his breath's Jack is a sex addict And she just wants to exact revenge and get back It's a chess match, she's on his back like a jetpack She's kept track of all his Internet chats And guess who just so happens to be moving on to the next? Actually, just shit on my last chick and she has what my ex lacks 'Cause she loves danger, psychopath And you don't fuck with no man's girl, even I know that But she's devised some plan to stab him in the back Knife in hand, says the relationship's hanging by a strand So she's been on the web lately Says maybe she'll be my Gwen Stacy, to spite her man And I know she's using me to try to play him, I don't care Hi Suzanne, but I shoulda said "Bye Suzanne" after the first night, but tonight I am[Chorus: Ed Sheeran] I've been a liar, been a thief Been a lover, been a cheat All my sins need holy water, feel it washin' over me Oh, little one, I don't want to admit to something If all it's gonna cause is pain The truth in my lies now are falling like the rain So let the river run[Verse 2: Eminem] One night stand turned into night stayin' He was calling so might scram, now we hug tight and He found out, now she feels deserted and used 'Cause he left, so what? He did it first to her too Now how am I supposed to tell this girl that we're through? It's hard to find the words, I'm aloof, nervous, ensued And witnessed you hurt but what you deserve is the truth Don't take it personal, I just can't say this in person to you So I revert to the studio like Hole in the Wall diners Don't have to be reserved in a booth I just feel like the person who I'm turning into Is irreversible, I preyed on you like it's church at the pew And now that I got you I don't want you Took advantage of my thirst to pursue Why do I do this dirt that I do? Get on my soapbox and preach, my sermon in speech Detergent and bleach is burned in the womb 'Cause now with her in the womb We can't bring her in this world, shoulda knew To use protection 'fore I bit into your forbidden fruit Fuck![Chorus: Ed Sheeran] I've been a liar, been a thief Been a lover, been a cheat All my sins need holy water, feel it washin' over me Oh, little one, I don't want to admit to something If all it's gonna cause is pain The truth in my lies now are falling like the rain So let the river run[Bridge: Eminem & Ed Sheeran] My name's (ooh), my name's (ooh) Denver (ooh), river run Call me (ooh), call me (ooh) River (ooh), we'll let the river run[Verse 3: Eminem] Always the bride's maid, never "The bride, hey!" Fuck can I say? If life was a highway The seat was an enclave I’d be swerving in five lanes Speeds at a high rate, like I'm sliding on ice maybe That's what I made, that came at you sideways I can't keep my lies straight What I made you terminate, my baby This love triangle, left us in a wreck tangled What else can I say? It was fun for a while Bet I really woulda loved your smile Didn't really wanna abort But fuck it, what's one more lie to tell an unborn child?[Chorus: Ed Sheeran & Eminem] I've been a liar, been a thief Been a lover, been a cheat All my sins need holy water, feel it washin' over me Oh, little one (I'm sorry), I don't want to admit to somethin' (I fucked up) If all it's gonna cause is pain The truth in my lies now are falling like the rain So let the river run
