Eminem - The Way I Am
Written by:Bizarre/Eminem
Whatever,
Dre, just let it run
Aiyyo, turn the beat up
a little bit
Aiyyo, this song is for anyone,
F**k it
Just shut up and listen, aiyyo
I sit back with this pack
Of zig zags and this bag
Of this **** it gives me
The sh*t needed to be
The most meanest mc on this,
on this earth
And since birth I've been cursed
with this curse to just curse
And just blurt this berserk
And bizarre sh*t that works
And it sells
And it helps in itself to relieve
All this tension
Dispensin' these sentences
Gettin' this stress
That's been eatin' me recently
off of this chest
And I rest again peacefully
Peacefully
But at least
Have the decency in you
To leave me alone
when you freaks see me out
In the streets
When I'm eatin'
Or feedin' my daughter
To not come and speak to me
Speak to me
I don't know you and no
I don't owe you
A motherf**kin' thing
I'm not mr. N'sync,
I'm not what your friends think
I'm not Mr. Friendly,
I can be a prick
If you tempt me,
My tank is on empty
Is on empty
No patience is in me
And if you offend me
I'm liftin' you
10 feet
10 feet
In the air
I don't care who is there
And who saw me destroy you
Go, call you a lawyer,
File you a lawsuit
I'll smile in the courtroom
And buy you a wardrobe
I'm tired of all you
Of all you
I don't mean to be mean
But that's all I can
be is just me
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
'Cause 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
Sometimes I just feel
Like my father,
I hate to be bothered
With all of this nonsense,
It's constant
And, it's his 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
Finger at me
So I point one back at 'em
But not the index or pinkie
Or the ring or the thumb,
It's the one you put up
When you don't give a f**k,
When you won't just put up
With the bullsh*t they pull
'Cause they full of sh*t too
When a dude's gettin' bullied
And shoots up his school
And they blame it
on marilyn
on marilyn
And the h***in
On marilyn
Where were the parents at?
and look where it's at
Middle America, now,
It's a tragedy
Now, it's so sad to see,
An upper class city
Havin' this happenin'
This happenin'
Then attack eminem
'Cause I rap this way
Rap this way
But I'm glad
'Cause they feed me the fuel
that I need for the fire
To burn and it's burnin'
and I have returned
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
'Cause 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
I'm so sick
And tired of bein' admired
That I wish
That I would just die
Or get fired
And dropped from my label
And stop with the fables
I'm not gonna be able
to top on name is
And pigeon holed
Into some poppy sensation
To cop me rotation
At rock 'n' roll stations
And I just do not got the patience
Got the patience
To deal with these
Cocky caucasians who think
I'm some wigger
Who just tries to be black
'cause I talk
With an accent
And grab on my balls
So they always keep askin'
The same f**kin' questions
F**kin' questions
What school did I go to,
What hood I grew up in?
The why, the who what when,
The where and the how
Till I'm grabbin' my hair
And I'm tearin' it out
'Cause they drivin' me crazy,
I can't take it
I'm racin', I'm pacin',
I stand and I sit
And I'm thankful
For every fan that I get
But I can't take a sh*t
In the bathroom
Without someone standin' by it
No, I won't sign your autograph
You can call me
An asshole I'm glad
'Cause 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
'Cause 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
