[00:01.32]Whatever..

[00:09.54]Dre, just let it run

[00:12.08]Aiyyo turn the beat up a little bit

[00:15.21]Aiyyo.. this song is for anyone.. f**k it

[00:21.54]Just shut up and listen, aiyyo..



[00:25.30]I sit back with this pack of Zig Zags and this bag

[00:27.75]Of this w**d it gives me the sh*t needed to be

[00:30.47]The most meanest MC on this -- on this Earth

[00:33.43]And since birth I've been cursed with this curse to just curse

[00:35.98]And just blurt this berserk and bizarre sh*t that works

[00:38.56]And it sells and it helps in itself to relieve

[00:41.36]All this tension dispensin these sentences

[00:44.35]Gettin this stress that's been eatin me recently off of this chest

[00:47.05]And I rest again peacefully (peacefully)..

[00:49.91]But at least have the decency in you

[00:52.67]To leave me alone, when you freaks see me out

[00:55.06]In the streets when I'm eatin or feedin my daughter

[00:57.49]To not come and speak to me (speak to me)..

[01:00.29]I don't know you and no,

[01:01.29]I don't owe you a mo-therf**k-in thing

[01:03.52]I'm not Mr. N'Sync, I'm not what your friends think

[01:06.31]I'm not Mr. Friendly, I can be a prick

[01:09.06]If you tempt me my tank is on empty (is on empty)..

[01:11.10]No patience is in me and if you offend me

[01:14.34]I'm liftin you 10 feet (liftin you 10 feet).. in the air

[01:17.75]I don't care who is there and who saw me destroy you

[01:19.98]Go call you a lawyer, file you a lawsuit

[01:21.47]I'll smile in the courtroom and buy you a wardrobe

[01:25.52]I'm tired of all you (of all you)..

[01:27.58]I don't mean to be mean but that's all I can be is just me



Chorus: Eminem



[04:05.32][02:48.51][01:30.81]And I am, whatever you say I am

[04:08.00][02:50.93][01:33.66]If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?

[04:10.72][02:53.72][01:36.33]In the paper, the news everyday I am

[04:14.14][02:56.55][01:39.74]Radio won't even play my jam

[04:16.11][02:59.16][01:41.73]Cause I am, whatever you say I am

[04:18.83][03:01.86][01:44.40]If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?

[04:22.47][03:04.70][01:47.20]In the paper, the news everyday I am

[04:25.11][03:07.65][01:50.24]I don't know it's just the way I am



[Eminem]

[01:52.65]Sometimes I just feel like my father, I hate to be bothered

[01:55.91]With all of this nonsense it's constant

[01:57.91]And, "Oh, it's his lyrical content -

[02:00.13]- the song 'Guilty Conscience' has gotten such rotten responses"

[02:03.72]And all of this controversy circles me

[02:06.20]And it seems like the media immediately

[02:08.77]Points a finger at me (finger at me)..

[02:11.22]So I point one back at 'em, but not the index or pinkie

[02:14.51]Or the ring or the thumb, it's the one you put up

[02:16.81]When you don't give a f**k, when you won't just put up

[02:19.08]With the bullshit they pull, cause they full of sh*t too

[02:22.59]When a dude's gettin bullied and shoots up his school

[02:25.43]And they blame it on Marilyn (on Marilyn).. and the heroin

[02:30.58]Where were the parents at? And look where it's at

[02:32.28]Middle America, now it's a tragedy

[02:33.74]Now it's so sad to see, an upper class ci-ty

[02:35.90]Havin this happenin (this happenin)..

[02:38.60]Then attack Eminem cause I rap this way (rap this way)..

[02:41.83]But I'm glad cause they feed me the fuel that I need for the fire

[02:44.45]To burn and it's burnin and I have returned



Chorus



[Eminem]

[03:10.15]I'm so sick and tired of bein admired

[03:12.33]That I wish that I would just die or get fired

[03:15.40]And dropped from my label and stop with the fables

[03:19.22]I'm not gonna be able to top on "My Name is.."

[03:21.18]And pigeon-holed into some pop-py sensation

[03:23.55]To cop me rotation at rock'n'roll stations

[03:26.56]And I just do not got the patience (got the patience)..

[03:28.71]To deal with these cocky caucasians who think

[03:31.70]I'm some wigger who just tries to be black cause I talk

[03:34.63]With an accent, and grab on my balls, so they always keep askin

[03:37.45]The same f**kin questions (f**kin questions)..

[03:40.29]What school did I go to, what hood I grew up in

[03:42.92]The why, the who what when, the where, and the how

[03:45.51]Til I'm grabbin my hair and I'm tearin it out

[03:48.34]Cause they drivin me crazy (drivin me crazy).. I can't take it

[03:51.38]I'm racin, I'm pacin, I stand and I sit

[03:53.83]And I'm thankful for ev-ery fan that I get

[03:56.46]But I can't take a SH*T, in the bathroom

[03:58.91]Without someone standin by it

[04:00.29]No I won't sign your autograph

[04:02.67]You can call me an asshole I'm glad
