Eminem - The way I am
Whatever..
Dre, just let it run
Aiyyo turn the beat up a little bit
Aiyyo.. this song is for anyone.. fuck it
Just shut up and listen, aiyyo..
I sit back with this pack of Zig Zags and this bag
of this weed it gives me the shit needed to be
the most meanest MC on this Earth
And since birth I've been cursed with this curse
to just curse And just blurt this berserk and
bizarre shit 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 thischest 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 do not come and speak to me (speak
to me).. I don't know you and no, I don't owe you
a mo-therfuck-in 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 (liftin you 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
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
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, "Oh, it's his lyrical content -
- the song 'Guilty Conscience' has gotten such
rottenresponses" 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 fuck, when you won't just
put up with the bullshit they pull, cause they
full of shit too When a dude's gettin bullied and
shoots up his school and they blame it on Marilyn
(on Marilyn).. and the heroin 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 ci-ty 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 thefire 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.
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 "My Name is.."
And pigeon-holed into some pop-py 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 fuckin questions (fuckin
questions).. What school did I go to, what hood I
grew up in The why, the who what when, the where,
and the how 'til I'm grabbin my hair and I'm
tearin it out cause they drivin me crazy (drivin
me crazy).. I can't take it I'm racin, I'm pacin,
I stand and I sit And I'm thankful for ev-ery fan
that I get But I can't take a SHIT, in the
bathroom without someone standin by it No I won't
sign your autograph You can call me an asshole I'm
glad
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.
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.
