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.

I never knew I..

I never knew I..

Mic check one-two

I never knew I..

Who woulda knew?

I never knew I..

Who'da known?

I never knew I..

Fuck woulda thought?

I never knew I..

Motherfucker comes out

I never knew I..

and sells a couple of million records

I never knew I..

And these motherfuckers hit the ceiling

I never knew I..

[Eminem]

I don't do black music, I don't do white music

I make fight music, for high school kids

I put lives at risk when I drive like this {*tires screech*}

I put wives at risk with a knife like this (AHHH!!)

Shit, you probably think I'm in your tape deck now

I'm in the back seat of your truck, with duct tape stretchedout

Ducked the fuck way down, waitin to straight jump out

put it over your mouth, and grab you by the face, what now?

Oh - you want me to watch my mouth, how?

Take my fuckin eyeballs out, and turn em around?

Look - I'll burn your fuckin house down, circle around

and hit the hydrant, so you can't put your burning furnitureout

(Oh my God! Oh my God!) I'm sorry, there must be a mix-up

You want me to fix up lyrics while the President gets his dicksucked?

{*ewwww*} Fuck that, take drugs, rape sluts

Make fun of gay clubs, men who wear make-up

Get aware, wake up, get a sense of humor

Quit tryin to censor music, this is for your kid's amusement

(The kids!) But don't blame me when lil' Eric jumps off of theterrace

You shoulda been watchin him - apparently you ain't parents

Chorus: Eminem

Cause I never knew I, knew I would get this big

I never knew I, knew I'd effect this kid

I never knew I'd, get him to slit his wrist

I never knew I'd, get him to hit this bitch

I never knew I, knew I would get this big

I never knew I, knew I'd effect this kid

I never knew I'd, get him to slit his wrist

I never knew I'd, get him to hit this bitch

[Eminem]

So who's bringin the guns in this country? (Hmm?)

I couldn't sneak a plastic pellet gun through customs over inLondon

And last week, I seen a Schwarzaneggar movie

where he's shootin all sorts of these motherfuckers with a uzi

I sees three little kids, up in the front row,

screamin "Go," with their 17-year-old Uncle

I'm like, "Guidance - ain't they got the same moms and dads

who got mad when I asked if they liked violence?"

And told me that my tape taught 'em to swear

What about the make-up you allow your 12-year-old daughter towear?

(Hmm?) So tell me that your son doesn't know any cuss words

when his bus driver's screamin at him, fuckin him up worse

("Go sit the fuck down, you little fuckin prick!")

And fuck was the first word I ever learned

up in the third grade, flippin the gym teacher the bird (Look!)

So read up, about how I used to get beat up

peed on, be on free lunch, and change school every 3 months

My life's like kinda what my wife's like (what?)

Fucked up after I beat her fuckin ass every night, Ike

So how much easier would life be

if 19 million motherfuckers grew to be just like me?

Chorus

[Eminem]

I never knew I.. knew I'd..

have a new house or a new car

A couple years ago I was more poorer than you are

I don't got that bad of a mouth, do I?

Fuck shit ass bitch cunt, shooby-de-doo-wop (what?)

Skibbedy-be-bop, a-Christopher Reeves

Sonny Bono, skis horses and hittin some trees (HEY!)

How many retards'll listen to me

and run up in the school shootin when they're pissed at a

teach-er, her, him, is it you is it them?

"Wasn't me, Slim Shady said to do it again!"

Damn! How much damage can you do with a pen?

Man I'm just as fucked up as you woulda been

if you woulda been, in my shoes, who woulda thought

Slim Shady would be somethin that you woulda bought

that woulda made you get a gun and shoot at a cop

I just said it - I ain't know if you'd do it or not

Chorus

[Eminem]

How the fuck was I supposed to know?
