Eminem's music and lyrics combine together to represent a piece of his history and life. Being a
fan of his for 5 years, I'm clearly aware of how much obstacles he had to overcome to reach the
fame he has today. The biggest mentor and "savior" that made his dreams possible was Dr. Dre,
whom believed in his talent and looked past stereotypes that automatically labelled Eminem as a

This song is a very emotional one talking about their mutual trust and friendship to each other,
assisting one another through troubled times. c



















 









c This is
obviously expressing Eminem's gratitude, that he came for him at a time of hitting rock bottom.
He was "saved" by Dre, who saw his potential and believed in him when no one else did. {

he was looking for a breakthrough, searching for someone to grant his dream of being a rapper.
The second chorus is about the rough time Dr. Dre's going through, as his son died from overdose

personal struggles.

Eminem expresses he'll always be there, until the

label, who didn't betray or leave when he needed help. They can always depend on each other.
This song is about the gratitude Eminem feels toward the man that started his career, without him
he would be nothing c

Dre will never falter no matter what he's going through.
