D12 & Eminem – Revelation (Official)
Under the Influence (2000) by Eminem feat. D12 · Revelation (2001)
The lyrics to Eminem’s “Revelation”, performed with D12, are an exploration of the anger and frustration felt by teenagers who feel alienated from the educational system, their families, and society as a whole. The song starts with a defiant stance against the notion of education and being part of the “system”. The lines “I don’t wanna go to school, I don’t need no education, I don’t wanna be like you, I don’t wanna save the nation” signify an attempt to resist conformity and the pressure put on individuals to conform to societal norms. Following this argument is the expressing of the main character’s anger and frustration in his life, including dealing with substance addiction, poverty, domestic abuse, and mental health issues. The character feels misunderstood and isolated by a world that doesn’t seem to care about him, leading him to question his purpose and desire for a revelation.
