THE WAY I AM
Whatever
Dre just let it run
Ay yo turn the beat up a little
bit
Ay yo, this song is for anyone
Fuck it just shut up and
listen
Ay yo
I sit back with this pack of zigzags
And this bag of
this weed
It gives me the shit needed to be
The most meanest emcee on this
- on this earth
Cause since birth I've been cursed with this curse to just
cursed
And just blurt this bezerk and bizarre shit that works
And it sells
and it helps in its self
To relieve all this tension dispensing
me
Sentence is getting it, stress has been eating me recently
All through
this chest and I rest to get 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 eating
or feedin' my daughter
To not come and speak to me
I don't know you and no
I don't owe you a motherfuckin thing
I'm not Mr. NSYNC and I'm not what your
friends think
I'm not Mr. Friendly
I can be a prick, if you tip me my tank
is on empty
No patience is in me and if you offend me I'm lifting you ten
feet
In the air, I don't care who was there and who saw me just jaw 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 arguing - I don't mean to mean but it's all I can
be
It's just me
Chorus
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
Sometimes I just feel like my father, I hate to be bothered
With
all of this nonsense it's constant
And "oh it's just 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
So I point one back at 'em
But not the index or the 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 your
school
And they blame it on Marilyn - and the heroin
Where were the
parents at?
And look at where it's at middle America
Now it's a
tragedy
Now it's so sad to see
An upper class city having this
happening
Then attack Eminem cause I 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
Chorus
I'm so sick
and tired of being admired
That I wish that I would just die or get
fired
And drop from my label and stop with the fables
I'm not gonna be
able to top what my name is
And pigeon holdin' to some poppy
sensations
They cop me rotation at Rock 'N' Roll stations
And I just do
not have the patience
To deal with this cocky Caucasians
Who think I'm
some wigga who just tries to be black
Cause I talk with an accent and grab on
my balls
So they always keep asking the same fucking questions
What school
did I go to?
What hood I grew up in?
The why? The who, what?
When and
where and the how?
Till I'm grabbing my hair and I'm tearing it out
You've
been driving me crazy, I can't take it
I'm racing, I'm pacing, 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 standing by it
No I won't sign your
autograph
You can call me an asshole
I'm glad
cause
Chorus
