- "I got a list here's the order of my list that it's in.
- It goes Reggie, Jay-Z, 2Pac and Biggie.
- André from OutKast, Jada, Kurupt, Nas and then me".
Though not a single, 'Till I Collapse still has received much praise for its strong lyrics and inspirational beats. The song has come to symbolize Eminem's undying determination to be the best, shown in Nate Doggs lines:
- "Till the roof comes off till the lights go out
- Till my legs give out can't shut my mouth
- Till the smoke clears out and my high burns out
- I'ma rip this shit till my bones collapse"
