[eminem]<br>Whatever..<br>Dre, just let it run<br>Aiyyo turn the beat up a little bit<br>Aiyyo.. this song is for anyone.. fuck it<br>Just shut up and listen, aiyyo..<br><br>I sit back with this pack of zig zags and this bag<br>Of this weed it gives me the shit needed to be<br>The most meanest mc on this -- on this earth<br>And since birth I've been cursed with this curse to just curse<br>And just blurt this berserk and bizarre shit that works<br>And it sells and it helps in itself to relieve<br>All this tension dispensin these sentences<br>Gettin this stress that's been eatin me recently off of this chest<br>And I rest again peacefully (peacefully)..<br>But at least have the decency in you<br>To leave me alone, when you freaks see me out<br>In the streets when I'm eatin or feedin my daughter<br>To not come and speak to me (speak to me)..<br>I don't know you and no,<br>I don't owe you a mo-therfuck-in thing<br>I'm not mr. n'sync, I'm not what your friends think<br>I'm not mr. friendly, I can be a prick<br>If you tempt me my tank is on empty (is on empty)..<br>No patience is in me and if you offend me<br>I'm liftin you 10 feet (liftin you 10 feet).. in the air<br>I don't care who is there and who saw me destroy you<br>Go call you a lawyer, file you a lawsuit<br>I'll smile in the courtroom and buy you a wardrobe<br>I'm tired of all you (of all you)..<br>I don't mean to be mean but that's all I can be is just me<br><br>Chorus: eminem<br><br>And I am, whatever you say I am<br>If I wasn't, then why would I say I am? <br>In the paper, the news everyday I am<br>Radio won't even play my jam<br>Cause I am, whatever you say I am<br>If I wasn't, then why would I say I am? <br>In the paper, the news everyday I am<br>I don't know it's just the way I am<br><br>[eminem]<br>Sometimes I just feel like my father, I hate to be bothered<br>With all of this nonsense it's constant<br>And, oh, it's his lyrical content -<br>- the song 'guilty conscience' has gotten such rotten responses<br>And all of this controversy circles me<br>And it seems like the media immediately<br>Points a finger at me (finger at me)..<br>So I point one back at 'em, but not the index or pinkie<br>Or the ring or the thumb, it's the one you put up<br>When you don't give a fuck, when you won't just put up<br>With the bullshit they pull, cause they full of shit too<br>When a dude's gettin bullied and shoots up his school<br>And they blame it on marilyn (on marilyn).. and the heroin<br>Where were the parents at? and look where it's at<br>Middle america, now it's a tragedy<br>Now it's so sad to see, an upper class ci-ty<br>Havin this happenin (this happenin)..<br>Then attack eminem cause I rap this way (rap this way)..<br>But I'm glad cause they feed me the fuel that I need for the fire<br>To burn and it's burnin and I have returned<br><br>Chorus<br><br>[eminem]<br>I'm so sick and tired of bein admired<br>That I wish that I would just die or get fired<br>And dropped from my label and stop with the fables<br>I'm not gonna be able to top on my name is..<br>And pigeon-holed into some pop-py sensation<br>To cop me rotation at rock'n'roll stations<br>And I just do not got the patience (got the patience)..<br>To deal with these cocky caucasians who think<br>I'm some wigger who just tries to be black cause I talk<br>With an accent, and grab on my balls, so they always keep askin<br>The same fuckin questions (fuckin questions)..<br>What school did I go to, what hood I grew up in<br>The why, the who what when, the where, and the how<br>'til I'm grabbin my hair and I'm tearin it out<br>Cause they drivin me crazy (drivin me crazy).. I can't take it<br>I'm racin, I'm pacin, I stand and I sit<br>And I'm thankful for ev-ery fan that I get<br>But I can't take a shit, in the bathroom<br>Without someone standin by it<br>No I won't sign your autograph<br>You can call me an asshole I'm glad<br><br>Chorus (except change first word cause to and)
