I'm Shady

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Who came through with two glocks to terrorize your borough(Huh?)

Told you how to slap dips and murder your girl (I did)

Gave you all the finger and told you to sit and twirl

Sold a billion tapes and still screamed fuck the world

(Slim Shady), so come and kill me while my name's hot

And shoot me twenty five times in the same spot (Ow)

Think I've got a generation brainwashed

To pop pills and smoke pot till they brains rot (Uh, oh?)

Stop they blood flow until they veins clot

I need a pain shot, and a shot of plain scotch

Purple haze and acid raindrops

Spike the punch at the party and drain pop (gulp gulp)

Shaved my armpits and wore a tank top

Bad Boy, I told you that I can't stop

Gotta make 'em fear you before you make 'em feel you

So everybody buy my shit or I'ma come and kill you

I got mushrooms, I got acid, I got tabs and aspirin tablets

I'm your brother when you need some new weed to set you free

You know me I'm your friend when you need a mintin'

(Slim Shady)

I'm Shady

I like happy things, I'm really calm and peaceful (Uh huh huh)

I like birds, bees, I like people

I like funny things that make me happy and gleeful

Like when my teacher sucked my wee-wee in preschool (Woo!)

The ill type, I stab myself with a steel spike

While I blow my brain out just to see what it feels like

And this is how I am in real life

I don't want to just die a normal death, I wanna be killed twice(Uh huh)

How you wanna scare somebody with a gun threat

When they're high off of drugs they haven't even done yet

So bring the money by tonight

Cause your wife says this is the biggest knife

She ever saw in her life (Help me help me)

I try to keep it positive and play it cool

Shoot up the playground and tell the kids to stay in school (Stayin school!)

Cause I'm the one they can relate to and look up to better

Tonight I think I'll write my biggest fan a fuck you letter

I got mushrooms, I got acid, I got tabs and aspirin tablets

I'm your brother when you need some new weed to set you free

You know me I'm your friend when you need a mintin'

(Slim Shady)

I'm Shady

I listen to your demo tape and act like I don't like it (Aw thatshit is wack)

Six months later you hear your lyrics on my shit (What????)

People don't buy shit no more they just dub it

That's why I'm still broke and had the number one club hit (Yup,uh huh)

But they love it when you make your business public

So fuck it, I've got herpes while we're on the subject (Uh huh)

And if I told you I had AIDS y'all would play it

Cause you stupid motherfuckers think I'm playing when I say it

Well, I do take pills, don't do speed

Don't do crack, don't do coke, I do smoke weed

Don't do smack, I do do shrooms

Do drink beer, I just wanna make a few things clear

My baby mama's not dead (nuh uh), she's still alive and bitching(yup)

And I don't have herpes, my dick's just itching

It's not syphilis, and as for being AIDS infested

I don't know yet, I'm too scared to get tested

I got mushrooms, I got acid, I got tabs and aspirin tablets

I'm your brother when you need some new weed to set you free

You know me I'm your friend when you need a mintin'

(Slim Shady)

I'm Shady

I told you I was Shady

Y'all didn't wanna believe me

I'm Shady

And that's my name
