(Voice over) Meet Eddie, 23 years old, fed up with life and the way things are going. He decides to rob a liquor store, but on his way in he has a sudden change of heart, and suddenly his conscience comes into play.

Dre: All right stop now before you walk in the door of this liquor store and try to get money out the drawer you better think of the consequence. Who are you? I'm your mother ****** conscience.
Eminem: That's nonsense, go in gaffel the money and run to one of your aunts cribs, and borrow a damn dress and one of her blond wigs. Tell her you need a place to stay, you'll be safe for days if you shave your legs with Rene's razor blades.
Dre: Yeah but if it all goes through like it's supposed to the whole neighbourhood knows you, and they'll expose you. Think about it before you walk in the door first look at the store clerk, she's older than George Burns.
Eminem: Bump that do that **** hit that lick can you afford to blow this hit? Are you that rich? Why you care if you scare her to death, are you that chick? Do you think she gives a **** if you have kids.
Dre: Man don't do it it's not worth it to risk it, not over this list, drop the biscuit, don't even listen to Slim yo he's bad for you.
Eminem: You know what Dre, I don't like your attitude.

These voices, these voices, I hear them. And when they talk, I'll follow, I'll follow, I'll follow. I'll follow all these voices. (Repeat twice)

(Voice over) Meet Stan, 21 years old, after meeting a young girl at a rave party, things start to get hot and heavy in an upstairs bedroom, once again his conscience comes into play.

Eminem: Now listen to me while your kissin her cheek and smearing her lipstick I slipped this in her drink now all you got to do is nibble on this little chicken's earlobe.
Dre: Yo this girl is only 15 years old, how could you take advantage of her she's passed out.
Eminem: It's easy, cut these lights out, that's how. And pick this chicken up and get her off Brad's couch and leave her on the front porch at her mom and dad's house.
Dre: Man ain't you ever seen that one movie KIDS?
Eminem: No, but I seen a porno with Funkdoobiest.
Dre: Do you wanna get hauled off to jail ?
Eminem: Bump that, drop her off, ring the doorbell and bail.

These voices, these voices, I hear them. And when they talk, I'll follow, I'll follow, I'll follow. I'll follow all these voices. (Repeat twice)

Dre: Wait, what if there's a good explanation for this?
Eminem: What she tripped fell and landed on his ****?
Dre: All right Shady maybe he's right Grady, but think about the baby before you get all crazy.
