Eminem, Marilyn Manson - The Way I Am (Danny Lohner Remix Version)(2001)

[00:02.87] Whatever
[00:06.94] Dre, just let it run
[00:07.37] Hey yo turn the beat up a little bit
[00:10.08] Hey yo... this song is for anyone... fuck it
[00:17.18] Just shut up and listen, Hey yo
[00:20.63] Hey yo.
[00:21.63] I sit back with this pack of Zig Zags and this bag
[00:24.28] Of this weed it gives me the shit needed to be
[00:27.06] The most meanest MC on this ... on this earth
[00:29.92] And since birth I've been cursed with this curse to just curse
[00:32.67] And just blurt this berserk and bizarre shit that works
[00:35.32] And it sells and it helps in itself to relieve
[00:38.16] All this tension dispensin' these sentences gettin' this stress
[00:41.60] That's been eatin' me recently off of this chest
[00:44.27] And I rest again peacefully (peacefully...)
[00:46.63] But at least have the decency in you
[00:49.46] To leave me alone, when you freaks see me out
[00:51.96] In the streets when I'm eatin' or feedin' my daughter
[00:54.71] To not come and speak to me (speak to me...) I don't know you
[00:57.69] And no, I don't owe you a mo-therfuck-in thing
[01:00.33] I'm not Mr. N*Sync, I'm not what your friends think
[01:03.12] I'm not Mr. Friendly, I can be a prick
[01:05.67] If you tempt me my tank is on empty (is on empty...)
[01:08.82] No patience is in me and if you offend me
[01:11.13] I'm liftin' you 10 feet (10 feet...) in the air
[01:13.94] I don't care who was there and who saw me destroy you
[01:16.83] Go call you a lawyer, file you a lawsuit
[01:19.80] I'll smile in the courtroom and buy you a wardrobe
[01:22.39] I'm tired of arguin' (of arguin'...)
[01:24.39] I don't mean to be mean, but that's all I can be, it's just me
[01:27.46] And I am, whatever you say I am
[01:30.56] If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
[01:33.23] In the paper, the news everyday I am
[01:36.54] Radio won't even play my jam
[01:38.64] Cause I am, whatever you say I am
[01:41.42] If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
[01:44.07] In the paper, the news everyday I am
[01:47.28] I don't know, it's just the way I am
[01:49.60] Sometimes I just feel like my father, I hate to be bothered
[01:53.34] With all of this nonsense, it's constant
[01:55.30] And, "Oh, it's his lyrical content -
[01:57.17] That song 'Guilty Conscience' has gotten such rotten responses"
[02:00.86] And all of this controversy circles me
[02:03.47] And it seems like the media immediately
[02:06.07] Points a finger at me (finger at me...)
[02:08.13] So I point one back at 'em, but not the index or pinky
[02:11.60] Or the ring or the thumb, it's the one you put up
[02:14.23] When you don't give a fuck, when you won't just put up
[02:16.81] With the bullshit they pull, cause they full of shit too
[02:19.62] When a dude's gettin bullied and shoots up his school
[02:22.53] And they blame it on Marilyn (on Marilyn...) and the heroin
[02:25.74] Where were the parents at? And look where it's at
[02:28.54] Middle America, now it's a tragedy
[02:31.21] Now it's so sad to see, an upper class city
[02:34.16] Havin this happenin (this happenin...)
[02:35.68] Then attack Eminem cause I rap this way (rap this way...)
[02:38.67] But I'm glad cause they feed me the fuel that I need for the fire
[02:41.69] To burn and it's burnin and I have returned
[02:44.47] And I am, whatever you say I am
[02:47.35] If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
[02:50.18] In the paper, the news everyday I am
[02:53.24] Radio won't even play my jam
[02:55.42] Cause I am, whatever you say I am
[02:58.12] If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
[03:01.18] In the paper, the news everyday I am
[03:04.17] I don't know, it's just the way I am
[03:06.64] I'm so sick and tired of bein admired
[03:09.46] That I wish, that I would just die or get fired
[03:12.15] And dropped from my label and stop with the fables
[03:15.04] I'm not gonna be able to top on 'My Name Is'
[03:18.00] And pigeon-holed into some poppy sensation
[03:20.76] To cop me rotation at rock'n'roll stations
[03:23.41] And I just do not got the patience (got the patience...)
[03:25.87] To deal with these cocky caucasians
[03:27.93] Who think, I'm some wigger who just tries to be black, cause I talk with an accent
[03:32.28] And grab on my balls, so they always keep askin
[03:34.71] The same fuckin questions (fuckin questions...)
[03:36.84] What school did I go to, what hood I grew up in
[03:39.52] The why, the who, what, when, the where, and the how
[03:42.01] 'Til I'm grabbin my hair and I'm tearin it out (ahhh)
[03:45.26] Cause they drivin me crazy (me crazy...) I can't take it
[03:47.96] I'm racin, I'm pacin, I stand and I sit
[03:50.65] And I'm thankful for every fan that I get
[03:53.21] But I can't take a shit, in the bathroom without someone standin by it,
[03:57.27] No, I won't sign your autograph
[03:59.62] You can call me an asshole, I'm glad
[04:01.59] Cause I am, whatever you say I am
[04:04.23] If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
[04:07.12] In the paper, the news everyday I am
[04:10.17] Radio won't even play my jam
[04:12.49] Cause I am, whatever you say I am
[04:15.30] If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
[04:18.01] In the paper, the news everyday I am
[04:20.92] I don't know, it's just the way I am
[04:23.42]
