Dear Slim |
| Dear Slim, I thought you mighta heard of me maybe |
| 'Cause lately everywhere I turn someone’s comparing us, crazy |
| I never woulda thought when I was bumping Biggie and Pac |
| That I would buy bleach in a box and become the product of Shady |
| But I’m here now, hi, my name is Tom MacDonald |
| People call me controversial, I’m the one that counterculture follows |
| Every song I drop’s a problem, I offend an awful lot |
| With topics commenting on race and politics, I’m pretty awesome |
| Dear Slim, I know we’re very different politically |
| Seems like some of your biggest fans are the victims I’m triggering |
| They’re convinced I don’t like you which inconsistent with history |
| I was picked on as a kid and they don’t know what Slim did for me |
| But I’m here now, and I fight the system just like you |
| Was addicted to pills and liquor and quick 'em just like you |
| People claim that you hate me, but Marshall, that can’t be right, dude |
| You’d have to hate yourself as well, 'cause Marshall, I’m you |
| Marshall, remember back when |
| You became Eminem |
| You changed the world with a pen |
| Well, now I’m just like you |
| I don’t give a what saying what I want with my fingers up |
| Everybody triggered and they think I suck |
| But I don’t give a what, na na-na na-na |
| But I don’t give a what, na na-na na-na na na na |
| Dear Slim, I thought that maybe 'cause you paved the way for me |
| You might relate to weight that Caucasian rappers are carrying |
| They’re constantly comparing us to you, it’s embarrassing |
| Never gaining their approval, it’s just hate we’re inheriting |
| But I’m here now, go ahead and hate, it don’t hurt |
| Call me culture vulture garbage, those are ignorant words |
| I kill a vulture, cook the poultry in a pan till it’s burnt |
| See, Marshall, I’m just like you, I’m flipping the bird |
| Dear Slim, I just wanna give you your flowers |
| I spent hours memorizing all of your songs in 2000 |
| You were the reason I screamed at all of my teachers, a teen |
| I needed your CD on repeat and Shady’s face on my t-shirt |
| But I’m here now, they call me controversial just like you |
| We’re both white, both rap, both of our eyes blue |
| Screw any guy who tries to say you’ve changed and don’t like you |
| 'Cause in my mind it’s still '99 and I’m you |
| Marshall, remember back when |
| You became Eminem |
| You changed the world with a pen |
| Well, now I’m just like you |
| I don’t give a what saying what I want with my fingers up |
| Everybody triggered and they think I suck |
| But I don’t give a what, na na-na na-na |
| But I don’t give a what, na na-na na-na na na na |
| Whether you love me or hate or think I’m crazy |
| Dropped a hundred grand to get a beat from Shady |
| I really hope when I bought it he wasn’t angry |
| But I really had to tell him that he changed me |
| The truth of the matter is without you Marshall Mathers |
| I woulda committed suicide before I was a rapper |
| You showed me that I could do it, I didn’t need to be blacker |
| I know it’s stupid but I just had to do my best to say thank you |
| Marshall, remember back when |
| You became Eminem |
| You changed the world with a pen |
| Well, now I’m just like you |
| I don’t give a what saying what I want with my fingers up |
| Everybody triggered and they think I suck |
| But I don’t give a what, na na-na na-na |
| But I don’t give a what, na na-na na-na na na na |
| Marshall, remember back when |
| You became Eminem |
| You changed the world with a pen |
| Well, now I’m just like you |
| I don’t give a what saying what I want with my fingers up |
| Everybody triggered and they think I suck |
| But I don’t give a what, na na-na na-na |
| But I don’t give a what, na na-na na-na na na na |
