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 f**k it
Just shut up and listen aiyyo
I sit back with this pack of Zig Zags and this bag
Of this w**d it gives me the sh*t 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 sh*t 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
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
I don't know you and no
I don't owe you a motherf**kin 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
No patience is in me and if you offend me
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
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 all of this controversy circles me
And it seems like the media immediately
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 f**k when you won't just put up
With the bullshit they pull cause they full of sh*t too
When a dude's gettin bullied and shoots up his school
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
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
To cop me rotation at rock'n'roll stations
And I just do not 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 f**kin 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 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 SH*T 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 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
