Eminem - The Way I Am(2005)

[00:00.26] Man, whatever
[00:03.73]
[00:09.02] Dre, just let it run
[00:11.72] Ayo, turn the beat up a little bit
[00:14.93] Ayo, this song is for anyone...
[00:19.71] Fuck it, just shut up and listen, ayo
[00:25.07] I sit back with this pack of Zig-Zags and this bag
[00:27.62] Of this weed, it gives me the shit needed to be
[00:30.53] The most meanest MC on this on this Earth
[00:33.33] And since birth I've been cursed with this curse to just curse
[00:36.08] And just blurt this berserk and bizarre shit that works
[00:38.85] And it sells and it helps in itself to relieve all this tension
[00:42.29] Dispensing these sentences, getting this stress
[00:44.94] That's been eating me recently off of this chest
[00:47.79] And I rest again peacefully
[00:50.47] But at least have the decency in you
[00:52.78] To leave me alone, when you freaks see me out
[00:55.28] In the streets when I'm eating or feeding my daughter
[00:58.30] To not come and speak to me
[01:00.23] I don't know you, and no, I don't owe you a mothafuckin' thing
[01:03.57] I'm not Mr. N'Sync, I'm not what your friends think
[01:06.56] I'm not Mr. Friendly, I can be a prick if you tempt me
[01:09.87] My tank is on empty, no patience is in me
[01:13.31] And if you offend me, I'm lifting you ten feet in the air
[01:17.24] I don't care who was there and who saw me just jaw you
[01:20.22] Go call you a lawyer, file you a lawsuit
[01:22.97] I'll smile in the courtroom and buy you a wardrobe
[01:25.61] I'm tired of all you, I don't mean to be mean
[01:28.85] But that's all I can be, it's just me
[01:31.08] And I am whatever you say I am
[01:34.03] If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
[01:36.69] In the paper, the news, every day I am
[01:39.95] Radio won't even play my jam
[01:42.16] 'Cause I am whatever you say I am
[01:45.01] If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
[01:47.68] In the paper, the news, every day I am, huh
[01:51.07] I don't know, it's just the way I am
[01:53.09] Sometimes I just feel like my father
[01:55.11] I hate to be bothered with all of this nonsense, it's constant
[01:58.50] And, oh, it's his lyrical content, the song Guilty Conscience
[02:02.12] Has gotten such rotten responses
[02:04.29] And all of this controversy circles me
[02:06.86] And it seems like the media immediately points a finger at me
[02:11.52] So I point one back at 'em, but not the index or pinkie
[02:15.03] Or the ring or the thumb, it's the one you put up
[02:17.75] When you don't give a fuck, when you won't just put up
[02:20.50] With the bullshit they pull, 'cause they full of shit too
[02:23.31] When a dude's getting bullied and shoots up his school
[02:26.04] And they blame it on Marilyn and the heroin
[02:29.11] Where were the parents at? And look where it's at!
[02:31.84] Middle America, now it's a tragedy
[02:34.43] Now it's so sad to see, an upper-class city
[02:37.37] Havin' this happenin'
[02:39.01] Then attack Eminem 'cause I rap this way
[02:41.83] But I'm glad, 'cause they feed me the fuel that I need
[02:44.52] For the fire to burn and it's burning, and I have returned
[02:48.03] And I am whatever you say I am
[02:50.91] If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
[02:53.54] In the paper, the news, every day I am
[02:56.98] Radio won't even play my jam
[02:59.10] 'Cause I am whatever you say I am
[03:01.98] If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
[03:04.68] In the paper, the news, every day I am
[03:07.85] I don't know, it's just the way I am
[03:10.14] I'm so sick and tired of being admired
[03:12.89] That I wish that I would just die or get fired
[03:15.54] And dropped from my label, let's stop with the fables
[03:18.31] I'm not gonna be able to top on "My Name Is"
[03:21.39] And pigeon-holed into some poppy sensation
[03:23.85] To cop me rotation at rock-n-roll stations
[03:26.72] And I just do not got the patience
[03:29.22] To deal with these cocky Caucasians
[03:31.74] Who think I'm some wigger who just tries to be black
[03:34.18] 'Cause I talk with an accent, and grab on my balls
[03:36.64] So they always keep asking the same fucking questions
[03:40.28] What school did I go to, what hood I grew up in
[03:43.04] The why, the who, what, when, the where and the how
[03:45.74] 'Til I'm grabbing my hair and I'm tearin' it out
[03:48.49] 'Cause they driving me crazy, I can't take it
[03:51.39] I'm racin', I'm pacin', I stand and I sit
[03:54.05] And I'm thankful for every fan that I get
[03:56.64] But I can't take a shit in the bathroom
[03:58.91] Without someone standing by it
[04:01.03] No, I won't sign you an autograph
[04:02.96] You can call me an asshole, I'm glad, 'cause...
[04:05.15] I am whatever you say I am
[04:07.95] If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
[04:10.60] In the paper, the news, every day I am
[04:13.86] Radio won't even play my jam
[04:16.00] 'Cause I am whatever you say I am
[04:18.89] If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
[04:21.57] In the paper, the news, every day I am
[04:24.78] I don't know, it's just the way I am
[04:26.76]
