The Way I Am |
| Dre, just let it run |
| Ayo, turn the beat up a little bit |
| Ayo |
| This song is for anyone |
| Fuck it, shut up and listen |
| Ayo |
| I sit back with this pack of Zig-Zag's and this bag |
| Of this weed, it gives me the shit 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 shit that works |
| And it sells and it helps in itself to relieve |
| All this tension, dispensin' these sentences |
| Gettin' this stress that's been eatin' me recently off |
| Of this chest and I rest again peacefully (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 eatin' or feedin' my daughter |
| To not come and speak to me (Speak to me), I don't know you |
| And no, I don't owe you a motherfuckin' 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 (Is on empty) |
| No patience is in me and if you offend me |
| I'm liftin' you ten feet (Liftin' 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 (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, that'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 (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 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 (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 happenin' (This happenin') then attack |
| Eminem 'cause I rap this way (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 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, that's just the way I am |
| I'm so sick and tired of bein' 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 a "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 (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 askin' the same fuckin' questions (Fuckin' 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 grabbin' my hair and I'm tearin' it out |
| 'Cause they drivin' me crazy (Drivin' 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 shit in the bathroom without |
| Someone standin' by it! |
| (Standin' 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 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, that's just the way I am |
