The Way I Am (feat. Eminem)

Dre, just let it run

Hey yo turn the beat up a little bit

Hey yo, this song is for anyone, fuck it

Shut up and listen

(Hey yo)

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 Earth

And since birth I've been cursed, with this curse to just curse

(Mother fuck!)

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 motherfucking thing!

I'm not mister NSync, I'm not what your friends think

I'm not mister 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 ten feet, (liftin you' 10 feet)

In the air, I don't care who was 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 arguin' (of arguin')

I don't mean to be mean, but that's all I can be, it's just me

And

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 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 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?! (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

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 (my name is)

And pigeon-holed into some poppy 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

Till 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 every 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

And I am, whatever you say I am

If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?

In the papers, 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 papers, the news everyday I am

I don't know, it's just the way I am

(Way I am, way I am, way I am)

Hey! Hey! Hey!

I don't know, it's just the way I am

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Radio won't even play my jam

'Cause I am, whatever you say I am

Hey! Hey! Hey!

'Cause I am, whatever you say I am

Hey! Hey! Hey!

'Cause I am, whatever you say I am

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Radio won't even play my jam

'Cause I am, whatever you say I am

Hey! Hey! Hey!
