| 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, 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 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 motherfuckin' 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 in the air | |
| (Liftin' you 10 feet) | |
| 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, "Oh, 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 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 and the heroin | |
| (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 "My 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 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, I can't take it | |
| (Drivin' me crazy) | |
| 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 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 | |
| '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 |
