[Dr. Dre]

Back when Cube - was rollin wit Lorenzo in a Benzo

I was bangin wit a gang of instrumentals

Got the pens and pencils, got down to business; but sometimes

the business end of this shit can turn your friends against you

But you was a real nigga, I could sense it in you

I still remember the window of the car that you went through

That's fucked up, but I'll never forget the shit we been through

And I'ma do whatever it takes to convince you

Cuz you my nigga Doc, and Eazy I'm still wit you

Fuck the beef, nigga I miss you, and that's just bein real wit

you

You see the truth is

Everybody wanna know how close me and Snoop is

And who I'm still cool wit

Then I got these fake-ass niggaz I first drew with

Claimin that they non-violent, talkin like they *voice sample*

Spit venom in interviews, speakin on reunions

Move units, then talk shit and we can do this

Until then - I ain't even speakin your name

Just keep my name outta yo' mouth and we can keep it the same

Nigga, it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors

It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em

That's the difference

Chorus

What's the difference between me and you?

You talk a good one - but you don't do what you supposed to do

I act on what I feel and never deal wit emotions

I'm used to livin big dog style and straight coastin

[Xzibit]

Yo I stay wit it

While you try to perpetrate, play wit it

Never knew about the next level until Dre did it (YEAH)

I stay committed while you motherfuckers baby-sitted

I smash you critics like a overhand right from Riddick

(Yeah!) Come and get it, shitted on villians by the millions

I be catchin bitches while bitches be catchin feelings

So what the fuck am I supposed to do?

I pop bottles and hot hollow-points at each and all of you (Come

on!)

A heartless bastard, high and plastered

My style is like the reaction from too much acid - never come

down

Pass it around if you can't handle it

Hang Hollywood niggaz by they Soul Train laminates

What's the difference between me and you? (What?)

About five bank accounts, three ounces and two vehicles

Until my death, I'm Bangladesh

I suggest you hold yo' breath til ain't none left

Yo that's the difference

Chorus

[Eminem]

Aight, hold up hold up!

STOP THE BEAT A MINUTE!! I got somethin to say

Dre; I wanna tell you this shit right now while this fuckin weed

is in me

(The fuck?!) I don't know if I ever told you this, but I love

you dawg

I got your motherfuckin back, just know this shit

[Dre] Riiight? .. Slim, I don't know if you noticed it

But I've had your back from day one, nigga let's blow this bitch

[Em] I mean it dawg, you ever need somebody offed - who's throat

is it?

[Dre] Well if you ever kill that Kim bitch, I'll show you where

the ocean is

[Eminem]

Well that's cool, and I appreciate the offer

But if I do decide to really murder my daughter's momma

I'ma sit her up in the front seat and put sunglasses on her

And cruise around wit her for seven hours through California

And have her wavin at people (Hi!) Then drop her off on the

corner

at the police station and drive off honkin the horn for her

Raw dawg, get your arm gnawed off

Drop the sawed off and beat you wit the piece it was sawed off

of

Fuck blood, I wanna see some lungs coughed up

Get shot up in the hot tub til the bubbles pop up

and they nose and cough snot up, mucus in hot water

That's for tryin to talk like The Chronic was lost product

That's for even THINKIN of havin them thoughts thought up!

You better show some respect whenever the Doc's brought up!!

So what's the difference between us? We can start at the penis

Or we can scream, "I Just Don't Give a Fuck," and see

who means it!
