eminem renegade

Since I'm in a position to talk to these kids and they listen

I ain't no politician but I'll kick it with em a minute

Cause, see, they call me a menace and if the shoe fits I'll wear it

But if it don't, then y'all'll swallow the truth, grin and bear it

Now who's the king of these rude, ludicrous, lucrative lyrics

Who could inherit the title, put the youth in hysterics

Using his music to steer it, sharing his views and his merits

But there's a huge interference: they're saying you shouldn't hear it

Maybe it's hatred I spew, maybe it's food for the spirit

Maybe it's beautiful music I made for you to just cherish

But I'm debated, disputed, hated and viewed in America

As a motherfuckin' drug addict, like you didn't experiment, nah nah

That's when you start to stare at who's in the mirror

And see yourself as a kid again, and you get embarrassed

And I got nothing to do but make you look stupid as parents

You fucking do-gooders, too bad you couldn't do good at marriage

And do you have any clue what I had to do to get here

I don't think you do so stay tuned and keep your ears glued to the stereo

Cause here we go, he's {*Jigga j-Jigga*}

And I'm the sinister Mr. Kiss-My-Ass, it's just the

See I'm a poet to some, a regular modern-day Shakespeare

Jesus Christ, the King of these Latter-Day Saints here

To shatter the picture in which of that as they paint me as

As a monger of hate, satanist, scatter-brained atheist

But that ain't the case, see it's a matter of taste

We as a people decide if Shady's as bad as they say he is

Or is he the latter, a gateway to escape

Media scapegoat; who they can be mad at today

See it's easy as cake, simple as whistling Dixie

While I'm waving the pistol at sixty Christians against me

Go to war with the Mormons, take a bath with the Catholics

In holy water, no wonder they tried to hold me under longer

I'm a motherfucking spiteful, delightful eyeful

The new Ice Cube, motherfuckers hate to like you

What did I do, I'm just a kid from the gutter

Making this butter off these bloodsuckers

Cause I'm a muthafuckin'
