Well, I'm Russian, and I'm convinced the the majority of the members aren't Americans either. So I guess that many ppl often have problems when they try to understand lyrics. That's why I think that a thread like this one should be pretty useful.

We all know the song How Come
So, could somebody tell me, what does Em mean sayin' "You ran the streets, I 9 to 5'd it."
thanks

Oh, maybe you're right, thanks anyway
And btw, in the chorus he says "And I heard it through the grape vine we even beefin' now". What does it mean?

well...it's an expression....there is an expression in french which means the exact same thing. basically it's just that he heard rumors or he heard by some people that him and ??? are beefing.

SlangCity has a few translations of Eminem songs offering explanations for a lot of the terms used, maybe they can be of some help to you. The link is http://slangcity.com/songs/index.htm
