So Much Better
Eminem · The Marshall Mathers LP 2 [2013]
Pick up the god dang phone...
Bitch where the fuck were you Tuesday?
With who you say?
I wasn't at the studio
Bitch what'd you do screw Dre?
You went there looking for me
Oo that excuse is too lame
Keep playing me you're gonna end up with a huge goose egg
You fake, lying slut you never told me you knew drake
Que Lupe? You want to lose two legs
You try to flip this on me?
If i spent more time with you, you say
"Ok yeeah, I'm cuckoo, hey?" Well, screw you
And I'd be the third person who screwed you today
Oh, four? Dre, Drake, Lupe? Oh touche
You were too two-faced for me
Thought you was my number one
True BlueAce but you ain't
And I can see you and you make
That little boo-boo face
Cause I'm hanging up this phone, boo
You make my fucking Bluetooth ache
You feeling blue too late
Go smurf yourself you make me wanna smurfin' puke blue Kool Aid
Here's what you say to someone you hate
[Hook]
My life will be so much better if you dropped dead (dead)
I was laying in bed last night thinking
And this thought just popped in my head and I thought
Wouldn't shit just be a lot easier if you dropped dead (dead)
I would feel so (so) much (much) better x3
[Verse 2]
Think I just relapsed, this bitch pushed me over the brink
Hop on the freeway trying to get some time alone and just think
Then the cops pulled me over but they let me go
Cause I told 'em I'm only driving drunk cause that bitch drove me to drink
I'm back on my fuck ho's
But a whole new hatred for blondes, but bias?
I hate all bitches the same, baby come on
Excuse the pun but bitch you're such a broad statement
And I am channeling my anger through every single station it's on
Cause a woman broke my he-art,
I say he-art cause you ripped it in two pa-arts
And threw it in the garbage, who do you think you are?
Bitch guess it's time for me to get the dust off
And pick myself up off the carpet
But I'll never say the L-word again
I la-la-la-la lesbian *shout*
I hope you hear this song and go into a cardiac arrest
My life would be so much better if you just
[Hook]
[Bridge]
Cuz you told me, you love me, forever
Bitch, that was a lie
Now I never, wanted someone, to die
So bad in my fucking life but fuck it there's other fish in the sea
[Verse 3]
And I'mma have a whale of a time
Being a single sailor for the night
Bitch on a scale of 1 to 10, shit
I must be the holy grailer
Catch this ho I got an Oscar attached to my fucking name (great)
I might hit the club on a chica's tail, uh
Made for me say fuck it kick some shots back and hammer the nailer
These bitches tryna get atached with the failer
And latch him to the tail of my bumper to
scratch them with the back of my trailer
Like I'm itchin' to get hitched
Yeah I'm rich as a bitch but bitches ain't shit
I'd rather leave a bitch in a ditch
Bitch you complain when you listen to this
But you still throw yourself at me
That's what I call pitchin' a bitch
That's why I'm swinging at this chicks on sight
Long as I got a bat and two balls it's foul
But my dick's on strike so all that love shit is null and void
Bitch I'm a droid, I void cupid stupid
wasn't for blowjobs you'd be unemployed
Oi oi oi man oh man you boy boy boys
Getting sick at these girls girls girls
Oink oink oink you fucking pigs
All you good boys doink doink doink
I got 99 problems and the bitch ain't one
She's all 99 of them I need a machine gun
I take em all out I hope you hear this song
And grow into a cardiac arrest have a heart attack
And just drop dead and I'mma throw a fucking party after this cause
[Hook]
[Outro]
I'm just playing bitch, you know I love you
So Much Better
So Much Better is a track by Eminem that appears in the 2013 compilation The Marshall Mathers LP 2. The song is generally understood as a personal reflection on the artist's life, relationships, and the passage of time, fitting within the broader pattern of Eminem's work that often turns inward to examine his own history and the people who have shaped it. The title suggests a sense of improvement or relief, and the track carries a reflective tone that contrasts with some of the more confrontational or aggressive material in his catalogue.
Eminem's musical style has evolved across his career, moving from the raw, rapid-fire delivery of his early work to a more varied approach that incorporates melodic hooks, emotional vulnerability, and genre blending. So Much Better sits within this later phase of his career, where he has continued to explore themes of family, regret, and self-assessment. The song's placement in a compilation album indicates that it was likely intended to reach a wider audience while still serving as a personal statement from the artist.
The Marshall Mathers LP 2 is a 2013 release that compiles material from Eminem's earlier work and includes additional tracks. It serves as a retrospective of his career up to that point, offering listeners a concentrated look at his most recognized songs and some lesser-known material. In this context, So Much Better functions as a bridge between his earlier, more aggressive persona and the more introspective side of his artistry that has become increasingly prominent in his later recordings.
Eminem's influence on hip-hop and popular music is substantial, and his work has been widely discussed in terms of its lyrical density, emotional intensity, and cultural impact. So Much Better reflects the complexity of his artistic identity, showing a side of him that is less focused on rivalry or provocation and more concerned with personal growth and reflection. The song's themes resonate with listeners who have followed his career and recognize the recurring motifs of family, loss, and self-improvement that run through much of his work.
Public reception to So Much Better has been mixed, with some listeners appreciating its introspective tone and others finding it less impactful than his more well-known tracks. The song's reflective nature may not appeal to those who prefer his more aggressive or humorous material, but it offers a different perspective on his artistic range. As part of a compilation album, it serves as a reminder of the breadth of his catalogue and the different moods he has explored over the years.
In the broader context of Eminem's discography, So Much Better represents a moment of quiet reflection amid a career marked by high-profile releases and cultural moments. It is a track that invites listeners to consider the personal dimensions of his artistry, beyond the public persona that has made him one of the most recognizable figures in hip-hop history.
