[00:08.63] Dre just let it run
[00:11.32] Aiyyo turn the beat up a little bit
[00:14.45] Aiyyo this song is for anyone **** it
[00:20.73] Just shut up and listen aiyyo
[00:24.61] I sit back with this pack of Zig Zags and this bag
[00:28.00] of this weed it gives me the shit needed to be
[00:29.99] the most meanest MC on this -- on this Earth
[00:32.62] And since birth I've been cursed with this curse to just curse
[00:35.31] And just blurt this berserk and bizarre shit that works
[00:38.25] And it sells and it helps in itself to relieve
[00:40.38] all this tension dispensin these sentences
[00:43.19] Gettin this stress that's been eatin me
[00:45.81] recently off of this chest
[00:46.88] and I rest again peacefully peacefully
[00:48.19]
[00:49.86] but at least have the decency in you
[00:52.06] to leave me alone when you freaks see me out
[00:54.74] in the streets when I'm eatin or feedin my daughter
[00:57.49] to not come and speak to me speak to me
[01:00.18] I don't know you and no
[01:01.12] I don't owe you a mo-ther****-in thing
[01:03.31] I'm not Mr N'Sync I'm not what your friends think
[01:05.81] I'm not Mr Friendly I can be a prick
[01:08.43] if you tempt me my tank is on empty is on empty
[01:11.56] No patience is in me and if you offend me
[01:14.19] I'm liftin you 10 feet liftin you 10 feet in the air
[01:17.82] I don't care who is there and who saw me destroy you
[01:19.82] Go call you a lawyer file you a lawsuit
[01:22.38] I'll smile in the courtroom and buy you a wardrobe
[01:25.13] I'm tired of all you of all you
[01:27.07] I don't mean to be mean but that's all I can be is just me
[01:30.57] And I am whatever you say I am
[01:33.08] If I wasn't then why would I say I am
[01:35.77] In the paper the news everyday I am
[01:38.64] Radio won't even play my jam
[01:41.51] Cause I am whatever you say I am
[01:44.32] If I wasn't then why would I say I am
[01:46.95] In the paper the news everyday I am
[01:50.02] I don't know it's just the way I am
[01:52.40] Sometimes I just feel like my father I hate to be bothered
[01:55.90] with all of this nonsense it's constant
[01:57.77] And Oh it's his lyrical content -
[01:59.89] - the song 'Guilty Conscience'
[02:01.15] has gotten such rotten responses
[02:03.03]
[02:03.92] And all of this controversy circles me
[02:06.11] and it seems like the media immediately
[02:08.55] points a finger at me finger at me
[02:11.01] So I point one back at 'em but not the index or pinkie
[02:14.45] or the ring or the thumb it's the one you put up
[02:17.22] when you don't give a **** when you won't just put up
[02:20.03] with the bullshit they pull cause they full of shit too
[02:22.91] When a dude's gettin bullied and shoots up his school
[02:25.48] and they blame it on Marilyn on Marilyn and the heroin
[02:28.98] Where were the parents at And look where it's at
[02:31.54] Middle America now it's a tragedy
[02:33.85] Now it's so sad to see an upper class ci-ty
[02:36.67] havin this happenin this happenin
[02:38.54] then attack Eminem cause I rap this way rap this way
[02:41.36] But I'm glad cause they feed me the fuel
[02:43.36] that I need for the fire
[02:44.73] to burn and it's burnin and I have returned
[02:47.49] And I am whatever you say I am
[02:50.05] If I wasn't then why would I say I am
[02:53.36] In the paper the news everyday I am
[02:55.99] Radio won't even play my jam
[02:58.49] Cause I am whatever you say I am
[03:01.26] If I wasn't then why would I say I am
[03:03.95] In the paper the news everyday I am
[03:06.70] I don't know it's just the way I am
[03:09.51] I'm so sick and tired of bein admired
[03:12.20] that I wish that I would just die or get fired
[03:15.06] and dropped from my label and stop with the fables
[03:17.56] I'm not gonna be able to top on My Name is
[03:20.62] And pigeon-holed into some pop-py sensation
[03:23.13] to cop me rotation at rock'n'roll stations
[03:25.88] And I just do not got the patience got the patience
[03:29.07] to deal with these cocky caucasians who think
[03:31.32] I'm some wigger who just tries to be black cause I talk
[03:34.13] with an accent and grab on my balls so they always keep askin
[03:37.38] the same ****in questions ****in questions
[03:39.99] What school did I go to what hood I grew up in
[03:42.49] The why the who what when the where and the how
[03:45.12] 'til I'm grabbin my hair and I'm tearin it out
[03:47.93] cause they drivin me crazy drivin me crazy I can't take it
[03:50.82] I'm racin I'm pacin I stand and I sit
[03:53.33] And I'm thankful for ev-ery fan that I get
[03:56.01] But I can't take a SHIT in the bathroom
[03:58.33] without someone standin by it
[04:00.14] No I won't sign your autograph
[04:02.51] You can call me an asshole I'm glad
[04:04.27] And I am whatever you say I am
[04:07.09] If I wasn't then why would I say I am
[04:09.90] In the paper the news everyday I am
[04:12.66] Radio won't even play my jam
[04:15.47] Cause I am whatever you say I am
[04:18.22] If I wasn't then why would I say I am
[04:20.98] In the paper the news everyday I am
[04:23.66] I don't know it's just the way I am
