Lyrical Analysis of...

The Way I Am By Eminem (Explicit)

  1. I sit back, with this pack, of zigzags
  2. And this bag, of this weed
  3. It gives me, the shit needed to be, the most meanest MC on this
  4. On this earth 'cause since birth I've been cursed with this curse to just curse
  5. And just blurt this berserk and bizarre shit that works
  6. And it sells and it helps in its self to relieve
  7. All this tension dispensing me, sentence is getting it
  8. The stress has been eating me, recently
  9. Off of this chest and I rest to get peacefully
  10. But at least have the decency in you to leave me alone
  11. When you freaks see me out in the streets
  12. When I'm eating or feeding my daughter to not come and speak to me
  13. I don't know you and no I don't owe you a motherfuckin' thing
  14. I'm not Mr.'N Sync and I'm not what your friends think
  15. I'm not Mr.Friendly, I can be a prick, if you tempt me my tank is on empty
  16. No patience is in me and if you offend me I'm lifting you ten feet
  17. In the air, I don't care who was there and who saw me just jaw you
  18. Go call you a lawyer
  19. File you a lawsuit, I'll smile in the courtroom and buy you a wardrobe
  20. I'm tired of all you
  21. I don't mean to be mean but it's all I can be, it's just me
  22. And I am, whatever you say I am
  23. If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
  24. In the papers, the news, everyday I am
  25. Radio won't even play my jam
  26. 'Cause I am, whatever you say I am
  27. If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
  28. In the papers, the news, everyday I am
  29. I don't know it's just the way I am
  30. Sometimes I just feel like my father, I hate to be bothered
  31. With all of this nonsense it's constant, and "oh it's his lyrical content!"
  32. The song "Guilty Conscience" has gotten such rotten responses
  33. And all of this controversy circles me and it seems
  34. Like the media immediately points a finger at me
  35. So I point one back at 'em, but not the index or the pinky
  36. Or the ring or the thumb, it's the one you put up when you don't give a fuck
  37. When you won't just put up with the bullshit they pull
  38. 'Cause they full of shit too
  39. When a dude's gettin' bullied and shoots up his school
  40. And they blame it on Marilyn
  41. And the heroin, where were the parents at?
  42. And look at where it's at
  43. Middle America, now it's a tragedy, now it's so sad to see
  44. An upper class city having this happening
  45. Then attack Eminem 'cause I rap this way
  46. But I'm glad 'cause they feed me the fuel
  47. That I need for the fire to burn and it's burnin' and I have returned
  48. And I am, whatever you say I am
  49. If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
  50. In the papers, the news, everyday I am
  51. Radio won't even play my jam
  52. 'Cause I am, whatever you say I am
  53. If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
  54. In the papers, the news, everyday I am
  55. I don't know it's just the way I am
  56. I'm so sick and tired of being admired
  57. That I wish that I would just die or get fired
  58. And drop from my label and stop with the fables
  59. I'm not gonna be able to top on "My name is"
  60. And pigeon holdin' to some poppy sensations
  61. They cop me rotation at rock 'n' roll stations
  62. And I just do not got the patience
  63. To deal with these cocky Caucasians
  64. Who think I'm some wigga who just tries to be black
  65. 'Cause I talk with an accent and grab on my balls
  66. So they always keep asking the same fucking questions
  67. What school did I go to, what hood I grew up in, the why, the who, what
  68. When and where and the how, 'til I'm grabbing my hair and I'm tearing it out
  69. You've been driving me crazy
  70. I can't take it, I'm racing, I'm pacing, I stand and I sit
  71. And I'm thankful for every fan that I get, but I can't take a shit
  72. In the bathroom without someone standing by it
  73. No I won't sign your autograph, you can call me an asshole, I'm glad
  74. 'Cause I am, whatever you say I am
  75. If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
  76. In the papers, the news, everyday I am
  77. Radio won't even play my jam
  78. 'Cause I am, whatever you say I am
  79. If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
  80. In the papers, the news, everyday I am
  81. I don't know it's just the way I am
