Dr just let it run
Hey Yo! Turn up the beat a little bit
Hey Yo! This song is for anyone. Fuck it. Shut up and listen
I sit back with this pack of zigzags and this bag of this weed
It gives me the shit needed to be the most meanest MC on this earth
And since birth I've been cursed with this curse to discurse and disperse
This berserk and bizarre shit that works and it sells and it helps in itself
To relieve all this tension, dispensing these sentences
Getting distressed has 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 to not come and speak to me
I don't know you and no, I don't owe you a motherfucking thing
I'm not Mr. Instinct, 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 No patience is in me
And if you offend me, I'm lifting you ten feet
In the air, I don't care who was there and who saw me
Just draw 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 do, I don't mean to be mean
But that's all I can be, it's 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, every day 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, every day 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 that's constantly Oh, it's just lyrical content
That's all guilty conscience That's 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 him
But not the index or pinky 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 pour
Cause they full of shit too When a dude's getting bullied
And shoots up your school And they blame it on Maryland
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 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 am returning I am whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am? In the paper, the news, every day 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, every day I am
I don't know, it'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
The top of my name is A pigeonhole into some poppy sensation
The cockney rotation At rock and 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 balls
So they always keep asking the same fucking questions
What school did I go to? What hood I grew up in?
And why the who what when the where and the how? Till I'm grabbing my hair and I'm tearing it out
You say 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 shit In the bathroom without someone standing 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, every day 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, every day I am I don't know, it's just the way I am
