“Legacy” by Eminem
“Legacy” is a very elaborate song written by popular artist Marshall Bruce Mathers III, more known by Eminem. The song is mainly about his struggles as a child to be happy and succeed. He was not a very popular kid, so he didn’t have very many friends, and at the same time he was bullied. All of these factors made his childhood a complete and utter “Hell” for him. But as the song progresses he gets older, and grows more confidence. Overall this song is a great representation of what Eminem had to go through his entire life; overcoming adversities, dealing with bullies, and coming to terms with himself.

The Fire Marshall is a nickname Eminem calls himself in a lot of his songs. It represents his natural habit to call people out and to destroy people’s attitudes about themselves with his raps. Calling himself the Fire Marshall at this point in his life means his confidence is at its highest point and he can take on
