The Way I Am

The Way I Am - Eminem

Lyrics by：Bizarre/Eminem

Composed by：Marshall Mathers/Andre R. Young

Man whatever

Ayo turn the beat up a little bit

Ayo this song is for anyone

F**k it just shut up and listen ayo

I sit back with this pack of Zig Zag's 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

Dispensing these sentences getting this stress

That's been eating 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 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 mothaf**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'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 that'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 paper the news every day 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 every day 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 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 getting bullied and shoots up his school

And they blame it on Marilyn and the heroin

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

Havin' 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 burning 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 every day 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 every day 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 dropped from my label let's stop with the fables

I'm not gonna be able to top on My Name Is

And pigeon-holed into some poppy sensation

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 asking the same f**king 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 grabbing my hair and I'm tearin' it out

'Cause they driving 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 standing by it

No I won't sign you an autograph

You can call me an asshole I'm glad 'cause

And I am whatever you say I am

If I wasn't then why would I say I am

In the paper the news every day 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 every day I am

I don't know it's just the way I am
