The Way I Am By Eminem (Explicit)

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 MC on this

On this earth 'cause since birth I've been cursed with this curse to just curse

And just blurt this berserk 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

The stress has been eating me, recently

Off of 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 feeding 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.'N Sync and 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'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 all you

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

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 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

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 his 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

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

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 on "My name is"

And pigeon holdin' to some poppy sensations

They 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 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, 'til 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 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
