“This one's for you and me, living out our dreams We're all right where we should be”
“There is or there ever will be, disagree? Feel free, but from now on I'm refusing to ever give up The only thing I ever gave up is using. No more excuses.”
“People don't usually come back this way From a place that was dark as I was in Just to get to this place Now let these words be like a switch blade to a haters rib cage And let it be known from this day forward I wanna just say thanks cause your hate is what gave me the strength”
“And y'all niggas just gossipin' like bitches on a radio and TV See me, we fly”
“And how real is that I remember signing my first deal and now I'm the second best I can deal with that”
This song clearly expresses nonconformity. Bruno Mars is saying that we should live our lives how we want to without regrets and make the best of it. Eminem then raps how we shouldn't care about what other people think and persevere in our goals. The people who criticize us just give us another reason to keep on fighting for what we want. We can show them that we can achieve something greater. We don't have to follow because we are our own leaders. That's simple enough, but people are used to going with the crowd and not take a new path of change. Seeing how far Eminem and Bruno got from nothing to the top, just goes to show that we can do anything too if we try and set our minds to it.
