|
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 |
