[00:00.82] Whatever..
[00:09.04] Dre, just let it run
[00:11.58] Aiyyo turn the beat up a little bit
[00:14.71] Aiyyo.. this song is for anyone.. fuck it
[00:21.04] Just shut up and listen, aiyyo..
[00:24.80] I sit back with this pack of Zig Zags and this bag
[00:27.25] of this weed it gives me the shit needed to be
[00:29.97] the most meanest MC on this -- on this Earth
[00:32.93] And since birth I've been cursed with this curse to just curse
[00:35.48] And just blurt this berserk and bizarre shit that works
[00:38.06] And it sells and it helps in itself to relieve
[00:40.86] all this tension dispensin these sentences
[00:43.85] Gettin this stress that's been eatin me recently off of this chest
[00:46.55] and I rest again peacefully (peacefully)..
[00:49.41] but at least have the decency in you
[00:52.17] to leave me alone, when you freaks see me out
[00:54.56] in the streets when I'm eatin or feedin my daughter
[00:56.99] to not come and speak to me (speak to me)..
[00:59.79] I don't know you and no,
[01:00.79] I don't owe you a mo-therfuck-in thing
[01:03.02] I'm not Mr. N'Sync, I'm not what your friends think
[01:05.81] I'm not Mr. Friendly, I can be a prick
[01:08.56] if you tempt me my tank is on empty (is on empty)..
[01:10.60] No patience is in me and if you offend me
[01:13.84] I'm liftin you 10 feet (liftin you 10 feet).. in the air
[01:17.25] I don't care who is there and who saw me destroy you
[01:19.48] Go call you a lawyer, file you a lawsuit
[01:20.97] I'll smile in the courtroom and buy you a wardrobe
[01:25.02] I'm tired of all you (of all you)..
[01:27.08] I don't mean to be mean but that's all I can be is just me
[04:04.82][02:48.01][01:30.31] And I am, whatever you say I am
[04:07.50][02:50.43][01:33.16] If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
[04:10.22][02:53.22][01:35.83] In the paper, the news everyday I am
[04:13.64][02:56.05][01:39.24] Radio won't even play my jam
[04:15.61][02:58.66][01:41.23] Cause I am, whatever you say I am
[04:18.33][03:01.36][01:43.90] If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
[04:21.97][03:04.20][01:46.70] In the paper, the news everyday I am
[04:24.61][03:07.15][01:49.74] I don't know it's just the way I am
[01:52.15] Sometimes I just feel like my father, I hate to be bothered
[01:55.41] with all of this nonsense it's constant
[01:57.41] And, "Oh, it's his lyrical content -
[01:59.63] - the song 'Guilty Conscience' has gotten such rotten responses"
[02:03.22] And all of this controversy circles me
[02:05.70] and it seems like the media immediately
[02:08.27] points a finger at me (finger at me)..
[02:10.72] So I point one back at 'em, but not the index or pinkie
[02:14.01] or the ring or the thumb, it's the one you put up
[02:16.31] when you don't give a fuck, when you won't just put up
[02:18.58] with the bullshit they pull, cause they full of shit too
[02:22.09] When a dude's gettin bullied and shoots up his school
[02:24.93] and they blame it on Marilyn (on Marilyn).. and the heroin
[02:30.08] Where were the parents at? And look where it's at
[02:31.78] Middle America, now it's a tragedy
[02:33.24] Now it's so sad to see, an upper class ci-ty
[02:35.40] havin this happenin (this happenin)..
[02:38.10] then attack Eminem cause I rap this way (rap this way)..
[02:41.33] But I'm glad cause they feed me the fuel that I need for the fire
[02:43.95] to burn and it's burnin and I have returned
[03:09.65] I'm so sick and tired of bein admired
[03:11.83] that I wish that I would just die or get fired
[03:14.90] and dropped from my label and stop with the fables
[03:18.72] I'm not gonna be able to top on "My Name is.."
[03:20.68] And pigeon-holed into some pop-py sensation
[03:23.05] to cop me rotation at rock'n'roll stations
[03:26.06] And I just do not got the patience (got the patience)..
[03:28.21] to deal with these cocky caucasians who think
[03:31.20] I'm some wigger who just tries to be black cause I talk
[03:34.13] with an accent, and grab on my balls, so they always keep askin
[03:36.95] the same fuckin questions (fuckin questions)..
[03:39.79] What school did I go to, what hood I grew up in
[03:42.42] The why, the who what when, the where, and the how
[03:45.01] 'til I'm grabbin my hair and I'm tearin it out
[03:47.84] cause they drivin me crazy (drivin me crazy).. I can't take it
[03:50.88] I'm racin, I'm pacin, I stand and I sit
[03:53.33] And I'm thankful for ev-ery fan that I get
[03:55.96] But I can't take a SHIT, in the bathroom
[03:58.41] without someone standin by it
[03:59.79] No I won't sign your autograph
[04:02.17] You can call me an asshole I'm glad
