Lyrics

[Intro]
I got a song filled with shit for the strong-willed
When the world gives you a raw deal
Sets you off 'til you scream, "Piss off! Screw you!"
When it talks to you like you don't belong
Or tells you you're in the wrong field
When something's in your mitochondrial
'Cause it latched on to you, like—

[Verse 1]
Knock knock, let the devil in
Manevolent as I've ever been, head is spinnin'
This medicine's screamin', "L-L-L-Let us in!"
L-L-L-Like a salad bowl, Edgar Allan Poe
Bedridden, shoulda been dead a long time ago
Liquid Tylenol, gelatins, think my skeleton's meltin'
Wicked, I get all high when I think I've smelled the scent
Of elephant manure—hell, I meant Kahlúa
Screw it, to hell with it, I went through hell with accelerants
And blew up my-my-myself again
Volkswagen, tailspin, bucket matches my pale skin
Mayo and went from Hellmann's and being rail thin
Filet-o-Fish, Scribble Jam, Rap Olympics '97 Freaknik
How can I be down? Me and Bizarre in Florida
Proof's room slept on the floor of 'da motel then
Dr. Dre said, "Hell yeah!"
And I got his stamp like a postcard, word to Mel-Man
And I know they're gonna hate
But I don't care, I barely can wait
To hit 'em with the snare and the bass
Square in the face, this fuckin' world better prepare to get laced
Because they're gonna taste my—
[Chorus]
Venom, (I got that) adrenaline momentum
And I'm not knowin' when I'm
Ever gonna slow up and I'm
Ready to snap any moment I'm
Thinkin' it's time to go get 'em
They ain't gonna know what hit 'em
(W-W-When they get bit with the—)
Venom, (I got that) adrenaline momentum
And I'm not knowin' when I'm
Ever gonna slow up and I'm
Ready to snap any moment I'm
Thinkin' it's time to go get 'em
They ain't gonna know what hit 'em
(W-W-When they get bit with the—)

[Verse 2]
I said knock knock, let the devil in
Shotgun p-p-pellets in the felt pen
Cocked, fuck around and catch a hot one
It-it's evident I'm not done
V-Venomous, the thoughts spun
Like a web and you just caught in 'em
Held against your will like a hubcap or mud flap
Beat strangler attack
So this ain't gonna feel like a love tap
Eat painkiller pills, fuck up the track
Like, what's her name's at the wheel? Danica Patrick
Threw the car into reverse at the Indy, a nut crashin'
Into ya, the back of it just mangled steel
My Mustang and the Jeep Wrangler grill
With the front smashed, much as my rear fender, assassin
Slim be a combination of an actual kamikaze and Gandhi (Gandhi)
Translation, I will probably kill us both
When I end up backin' into ya
You ain't gonna be able to tell what the fuck's happenin' to ya
When you're bit with the—
[Chorus]
Venom, adrenaline momentum
And I'm not knowin' when I'm
Ever gonna slow up and I'm
Ready to snap any moment I'm
Thinkin' it's time to go get 'em
They ain't gonna know what hit 'em
(W-W-When they get bit with the—)
Venom, (I got that) adrenaline momentum
And I'm not knowin' when I'm
Ever gonna slow up and I'm
Ready to snap any moment I'm
Thinkin' it's time to go get 'em
They ain't gonna know what hit 'em
(W-W-When they get bit with the—)

[Verse 3]
I said knock knock, let the devil in
Alien, E-E-Elliott phone home
Ain't no telling when this chokehold
On this game will end, I'm loco
Became a Symbiote, so
My fangs are in your throat, ho
You're snake-bitten with my—venom
With the ballpoint pen I'm
Gun cocked, bump stock, double-aught, buckshot
Tire thumper, a garrote, tie a couple knots
Fired up and caught fire, juggernaut
Punk rock, bitch, it's goin' down like Yung Joc
'Cause the Doc put me on like sunblock
Why the fuck not, you only get one shot
Ate shit 'til I can't taste it
Chased it with straight liquor
Then paint thinner, then drank 'til I faint
And awake with a headache
And I take anything in rectangular shape
Then I wait to face the demons I'm bonded to
'Cause they're chasin' me but I'm part of you
So escapin' me is impossible
I latch onto you like a—parasite
And I probably ruined your parents' life
And your childhood too
'Cause if I'm the music that y'all grew up on
I'm responsible for you retarded fools
I'm the super villain Dad and Mom was losin' their marbles to
You marvel that? Eddie Brock is you
And I'm the suit, so call me—
[Chorus]
Venom, (I got that) adrenaline momentum
And I'm not knowin' when I'm
Ever gonna slow up and I'm
Ready to snap any moment I'm
Thinkin' it's time to go get 'em
They ain't gonna know what hit 'em
(W-W-When they get bit with the—)
Venom, (I got that) adrenaline momentum
And I'm not knowin' when I'm
Ever gonna slow up and I'm
Ready to snap any moment I'm
Thinkin' it's time to go get 'em
They ain't gonna know what hit 'em
(W-W-When they get bit with the—)

When it comes to combining music and movies, few artists do it as well as Eminem. In 2018 he released the song “Venom” as the main theme for the Columbia Pictures movie of the same name. The song drew inspiration from the Marvel Comics character which the movie was based on. The music video for “Fall” includes several references to the Marvel character and shows Eminem getting possessed by a liquid shadow, just like Eddie Brock when he becomes Venom in the movie.

About Venom

“Venom” is a song by American rapper Eminem, released as part of the soundtrack for the 2018 Columbia Pictures movie of the same name. The song draws inspiration from the Marvel Comics character, Venom, who is a sentient alien Symbiote with a liquid-like form, who requires a host to survive. When it possesses a host, the host and the symbiote become a new dual-life form, usually referring to themselves as “Venom.”

The song quickly gained popularity due to its dark, ominous beat and Eminem’s aggressive lyrics, which were fitting for the character of Venom, who is known for his intense, primal nature. The song has a fast-paced beat, which is complemented by Eminem’s skillful rhyme scheme and his trademark speed-rapping style, making it a perfect fit for the action-packed movie it was written for.

The opening lines of the song set the stage for the intense, action-packed theme of the movie, “I got a song filled with shit for the strong-willed / When the world gives you a raw deal / Set you off 'til you scream, 'piss off! Screw you!' / When it talks to you like you don't belong / Or tells you you're in the wrong field”

Eminem’s lyrics are filled with references to Venom and the struggles he faces in the movie. He also references his own personal struggles, speaking directly to the fans who have stuck with him through thick and thin. He raps,“Knock, knock, let the devil in, malevolent / As I've ever been, head is spinnin', this medicine / Screaming, "L-l-l-let us in!" / L-l-lick like a salad bowl, Edgar Allan Poe / Bedridden, shoulda been dead a long time ago”.

The chorus of the song has a hard-hitting beat that is designed to get the listener pumped up and ready for action. Eminem raps, “I said knock, knock, let the devil in / Shotgun p-p-pellets in the felt pen / Cocked, fuck around and catch a hot one / It-it's evident I'm not done, Vicodin / Is like a necklace to a hypochondriac.”

“Venom” is an expertly crafted song by one of the greatest rappers of all time. It is dark, intense, and perfectly captures the essence of the Marvel Comics character. The song has a fast-paced beat, complex lyrics, and it perfectly complements the action-packed theme of the movie it was written for. It is, without a doubt, one of Eminem’s greatest songs, and one that will be remembered for years to come.
