[00:08.630] Dre just let it run
[00:11.320] Aiyyo turn the beat up a little bit
[00:14.450] Aiyyo this song is for anyone **** it
[00:20.730] Just shut up and listen aiyyo
[00:24.610] I sit back with this pack of Zig Zags and this bag
[00:28.000] of this weed it gives me the shit needed to be
[00:29.990] the most meanest MC on this -- on this Earth
[00:32.620] And since birth I've been cursed with this curse to just curse
[00:35.310] And just blurt this berserk and bizarre shit that works
[00:38.250] And it sells and it helps in itself to relieve
[00:40.380] all this tension dispensin these sentences
[00:43.190] Gettin this stress that's been eatin me
[00:45.810] recently off of this chest
[00:46.880] and I rest again peacefully peacefully
[00:48.190]
[00:49.860] but at least have the decency in you
[00:52.060] to leave me alone when you freaks see me out
[00:54.740] in the streets when I'm eatin or feedin my daughter
[00:57.490] to not come and speak to me speak to me
[01:00.180] I don't know you and no
[01:01.120] I don't owe you a mo-ther****-in thing
[01:03.310] I'm not Mr N'Sync I'm not what your friends think
[01:05.810] I'm not Mr Friendly I can be a prick
[01:08.430] if you tempt me my tank is on empty is on empty
[01:11.560] No patience is in me and if you offend me
[01:14.190] I'm liftin you 10 feet liftin you 10 feet in the air
[01:17.820] I don't care who is there and who saw me destroy you
[01:19.820] Go call you a lawyer file you a lawsuit
[01:22.380] I'll smile in the courtroom and buy you a wardrobe
[01:25.130] I'm tired of all you of all you
[01:27.070] I don't mean to be mean but that's all I can be is just me
[01:30.570] And I am whatever you say I am
[01:33.080] If I wasn't then why would I say I am
[01:35.770] In the paper the news everyday I am
[01:38.640] Radio won't even play my jam
[01:41.510] Cause I am whatever you say I am
[01:44.320] If I wasn't then why would I say I am
[01:46.950] In the paper the news everyday I am
[01:50.020] I don't know it's just the way I am
[01:52.400] Sometimes I just feel like my father I hate to be bothered
[01:55.900] with all of this nonsense it's constant
[01:57.770] And Oh it's his lyrical content -
[01:59.890] - the song 'Guilty Conscience'
[02:01.150] has gotten such rotten responses
[02:03.030]
[02:03.920] And all of this controversy circles me
[02:06.110] and it seems like the media immediately
[02:08.550] points a finger at me finger at me
[02:11.010] So I point one back at 'em but not the index or pinkie
[02:14.450] or the ring or the thumb it's the one you put up
[02:17.220] when you don't give a **** when you won't just put up
[02:20.030] with the bullshit they pull cause they full of shit too
[02:22.910] When a dude's gettin bullied and shoots up his school
[02:25.480] and they blame it on Marilyn on Marilyn and the heroin
[02:28.980] Where were the parents at And look where it's at
[02:31.540] Middle America now it's a tragedy
[02:33.850] Now it's so sad to see an upper class ci-ty
[02:36.670] havin this happenin this happenin
[02:38.540] then attack Eminem cause I rap this way rap this way
[02:41.360] But I'm glad cause they feed me the fuel
[02:43.360] that I need for the fire
[02:44.730] to burn and it's burnin and I have returned
[02:47.490] And I am whatever you say I am
[02:50.050] If I wasn't then why would I say I am
[02:53.360] In the paper the news everyday I am
[02:55.990] Radio won't even play my jam
[02:58.490] Cause I am whatever you say I am
[03:01.260] If I wasn't then why would I say I am
[03:03.950] In the paper the news everyday I am
[03:06.700] I don't know it's just the way I am
[03:09.510] I'm so sick and tired of bein admired
[03:12.200] that I wish that I would just die or get fired
[03:15.060] and dropped from my label and stop with the fables
[03:17.560] I'm not gonna be able to top on My Name is
[03:20.620] And pigeon-holed into some pop-py sensation
[03:23.130] to cop me rotation at rock'n'roll stations
[03:25.880] And I just do not got the patience got the patience
[03:29.070] to deal with these cocky caucasians who think
[03:31.320] I'm some wigger who just tries to be black cause I talk
[03:34.130] with an accent and grab on my balls so they always keep askin
[03:37.380] the same ****in questions ****in questions
[03:39.990] What school did I go to what hood I grew up in
[03:42.490] The why the who what when the where and the how
[03:45.120] 'til I'm grabbin my hair and I'm tearin it out
[03:47.930] cause they drivin me crazy drivin me crazy I can't take it
[03:50.820] I'm racin I'm pacin I stand and I sit
[03:53.330] And I'm thankful for ev-ery fan that I get
[03:56.010] But I can't take a SHIT in the bathroom
[03:58.330] without someone standin by it
[04:00.140] No I won't sign your autograph
[04:02.510] You can call me an asshole I'm glad
[04:04.270] And I am whatever you say I am
[04:07.090] If I wasn't then why would I say I am
[04:09.900] In the paper the news everyday I am
[04:12.660] Radio won't even play my jam
[04:15.470] Cause I am whatever you say I am
[04:18.220] If I wasn't then why would I say I am
[04:20.980] In the paper the news everyday I am
[04:23.660] I don't know it's just the way I am
