Total Recall: Eminem (ft. Rhianna) - “The Monster” Lyrics

Now, I ain't much of a poet but I know somebody once told me to seize the moment and don't squander it

Eminem raps about how someone once told him to "seize the moment and don't squander it." This lyric is an obvious reference to Em's most famous song, Lose Yourself in which he raps:

Look, if you had, one shot
Or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted
In one moment
Would you capture it, or just let it slip?

Eminem's reference to his most well-known song in The Monster is known as:

A. Allegory
B. Analogy
C. Anecdote
D. Allusion

As much as possible, stir away from songs that are too mature for your age. If you chose one, you will only have a hard time writing about it especially if you don’t have first hand knowledge of its content.
