The Way I Am by Eminem
Whatever...
Dre just let it run.......
Hey yo turn the beat up a little bit
Hey yo.....this song is for anyone....fuck it ...just shut up and listen
I sit back, with this pack
of zig zags....and this bag
of this weed. it gets me. the shit, needed to be
the most meanest mc on this.....on this earth
and since birth i've been cursed with this curse that just cursed
and just blurt it's bezerk and bizarre shit that works
and it sells and it helps in itself to relieve all this tension dispensing me
sentence is getting it...stress has been eating me recently
all for this chest and i rest to get peacefully
but at least have the decency..........in you to leave me alone when you freaks
see me out...in the streets when im eatin or feedin my daughter
and not come and speak to me ......i don't know you and no i don't owe you
a motherfuckin thing......i'm not Mr. NSYNC and i'm not what your friends think
i'm not Mr. Friendly......i can be a prick....if you tip me my tank is on
empty.....
no patience is in me and if you offend me ....i'm lifting you ten feet.....in
the air
i don't care who was there and who saw me destroy you.....i'll call you a lawyer
.....file you a lawsuit......i ll smile in the courtroom ...and buy you a
wardrobe....i'm tired of arguing ....i don't mean to me but it's all i can
be, it's just me
Chorus
and i am....whatever you say i am
if i wasn't , then why would i say i am?
in the papers, the news, everyday i am
radio won't even play my jam
cuz i am.....whatever you say i am
if i wasn't, then why would i say i am?
in the papers, the news, everyday i am
i don't know it's just the way i am
sometimes i just feel like my father.....i hate to be bothered
with all of this nonsense.....it's constant and "oh it's just lyrical content"
the song "guilty conscience" has gotten such rotten responses
and all of this controversy ..circles me...and it seems like the media
immediately points a finger at me.....so I point one back at them
but not the index or the pinky......or the ring or the thumb......it's the one
you put up when you don't give a fuck....when you won't just put up......with
the bull shit they pull....cuz they full of shit too....when a dude's gettin
bullied and shoots up your school......and they blame it on Marilyn.....and the
heroin....where were the parents at??....and look at where it's at......middle
America.....now it's a tragedy....now it's so sad to see....in upper classity
having this happening,
then attack eminem cuz i rap this way.....but i'm glad cuz they feed me the fuel
that i need for the fire to burn and it's burnin' and I have returned
Chorus
and i am....whatever you say i am
if i wasn't then why would i say i am?
in the paper, the news, everyday i am
radio won't even play my jam
cuz i am.....whatever you say i am
if i wasn't then why would say i am?
in the paper, the news, everyday i am
i don't know it's just the way i am
i'm so sick and tired of bein admired
that i wish that i would just die or get fired
and drop from my label...and stop with the fables
i'm not goin to be able....to top what my name is
and pigeons holdin to some poppy sensations
they caught me in rotation at rock n roll stations
and i just do not got the patience....to deal with this cocky caucasions
who think im some wigger who just tries to be black...cuz i talk with an accent
and then grab on my balls till they always keep askin the same fuckin questions
.....what school did i go to? ,.......what hood i grew up in?.....the why?...the
who what?.....when and the where and the how.......till im grabbin my hair and
im tearin it out......you ve been drivin me crazy.....i can't take it....i'm
racin....i'm pacin....i stand then i sit.......and i'm thankful for every fan
that i get......but i can't take a shit...in the bathroom w/out someone standing
by it......you knew i won't sign your autograph....you can call me an asshole
i'm glad
Chorus
cuz i am......whatever you say i am
if i wasn't then why would i say i am?
in the papers, the news, everyday i am
radio won't even play my jam
cuz i am...whatever you say i am
if i wasn't then why would i say i am?
in the paper, the news, everyday i am?
i don't know it's just the way i am
