Dre just let it run
Ayo turn the beat up a little bit
Ayo This song is for anyone
Shut up and listen Ayo
I sit back with this pack
and this bag of this
It gives me the s*** 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 that works
and it sells and it helps in itself to relieve
all this tension despensing these sentences
getting this stress that's been
eating me recently off of this chest
and I rest again 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 eating
or feeding my daughter
do not come and speak to me
I don't know you and no
I don't owe you thing
I'm not Mr. N'sync
I'm not what your friends think
I'm not Mr. Friendly I can be a
if you tick me my tank is on empty
No patience is in me and if you offend me
I'm lifting you 10 feet
in the air
I don't care who was 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
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 that'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 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
When you won't just put up with the they pull
'cause they full too
When a dude's getting bullied
and shoots up his school
and they blame it 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
having this happening
then attack Eminem 'cause I rap this way
But I'm glad 'cause they feed me
the fuel that I need for the fire
to burn and it's burning
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 that's just the way I am
I'm so sick and tired of being admired that
I wish that I would just die
or get fired and dropped from my label
let's stop with the fables
I'm not gonna be able to top on
My Name Is And pigeon holed into some poppy senation
that got me rotation at rock-n-roll stations
And I just do not 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
So they always keep asking the same question
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 grabbing my hair and
I'm tearing it out
'cause they driving me crazy
I can't take it
I'm racing I'm pacing
I stand and I sit and
I'm thankful for every fan
that I get but I can't take a in the bathroom
without someone standing by it
No I won't sign your autograph you can call me an
I'm glad
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
that's just the way I am
