Who is Eminem talking about? About himself when he was young?
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out

The lyric is self-referencing; the character Jimmy Smith Jr. aka B-Rabbit that Eminem plays in the movie 8 Mile.
The line itself specifically refers to an event in the movie, where he takes part in a rap battle, but dries on stage & leaves embarrassed.
Wikipedia says the movie 'contains autobiographical elements', but doesn't make clear which parts are & which are simply movie plot.

1Good work, Tetsujin! It's great. And it's not an easy song. If you could get it to Eminem I swear he'd want to do a collaboration! May 17, 2022 at 10:58
