“You gotta find that inner strength and just pull bad out of you. And get that motivation to not give up and not be a quitter, no matter how bad you wanna just fall on your face and collapse.”

According to an interview to a publication, Eminem spoke about how he writes his own music with extensive vocabulary that he learned from a dictionary-

The writing process, the way I go about it is I do whatever the beat feels like, whatever the beat is telling me to do. Usually, when the beat comes on, I think of a hook or the subject I want to rap about almost instantly. Within four, eight bars of it playing I’m just like, ‘Oh, OK. This is what I wanna do’.”
