The Way I Am Lyrics by Eminem

The Way I Am Lyrics

    Whatever
    Dre just let it run
    Ay yo turn the beat up a little bit
    Ay yo this song is for anyone
    Fuck it just shut up and listen
    Ay yo
    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 emcee on this on this earth
    Cause since birth I've been cursed with this curse to just cursed
    And just blurt this bezerk 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, stress has been eating me recently
    All through 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 feedin' 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. NSYNC and I'm not what your friends think
    I'm not Mr. Friendly
    I can be a prick, if you tip 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 arguing - I don't mean to 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 just 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 your 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 what my name is
    And pigeon holdin' to some poppy sensations
    They cop me rotation at Rock 'N' Roll stations
    And I just do not have the patience
    To deal with this 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?
    Till 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
    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
