The Way I Am - Eminem
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
mo-therfuck-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
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
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 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 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 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
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
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
