Whatever..
Dre, just let it run
Aiyyo turn the beat up a little bit
Aiyyo.. this song is for anyone.. f**k 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 sh*t 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 sh*t 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 mo-therf**k-in 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 (liftin you 10 feet).. in
the air 
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

Chorus: Eminem

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

[Eminem]
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 f**k, when you won't just
put up
with the bullshit they pull, cause they full of
sh*t too
When a dude's gettin bullied and shoots up his
school
and they blame it on Marilyn (on Marilyn).. and
the heroin
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 ci-ty
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

Chorus

[Eminem]
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 pop-py 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 f**kin questions (f**kin 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 (drivin me crazy).. I
can't take it 
I'm racin, I'm pacin, I stand and I sit
And I'm thankful for ev-ery 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

Chorus (except change first word "Cause" to
"And")
