[00:02.67] Whatever
[00:02.87] Dre just let it run
[00:12.23] Aiyyo turn the beat up a little bit
[00:15.03] Aiyyo this song is for anyone fuck it
[00:21.41] Just shut up and listen aiyyo
[00:24.12] I sit back with this pack of Zig Zags and this bag
[00:27.53] of this weed it gives me the shit needed to be
[00:29.68] the most meanest MC on this -- on this Earth
[00:32.55] And since birth I've been cursed with this curse to just curse
[00:35.27] And just blurt this berserk and bizarre shit that works
[00:37.35] And it sells and it helps in itself to relieve
[00:40.58]
[00:41.50] all this tension dispensin these sentences
[00:44.39] Gettin this stress that's been eatin me recently off of this chest
[00:46.94] and I rest again peacefully (peacefully)
[00:49.05] but at least have the decency in you
[00:52.61] to leave me alone when you freaks see me out
[00:55.02] in the streets when I'm eatin or feedin my daughter
[00:57.05] to not come and speak to me (speak to me)
[00:59.36] I don't know you and no
[01:00.97] I don't owe you a mo-therfuck-in thing
[01:03.09] I'm not Mr N'Sync I'm not what your friends think
[01:05.49] I'm not Mr Friendly I can be a prick
[01:07.67] if you tempt me my tank is on empty (is on empty)
[01:11.55] No patience is in me and if you offend me
[01:13.45] I'm liftin you 10 feet (liftin you 10 feet) in the air
[01:16.55] I don't care who is there and who saw me destroy you
[01:18.58] Go call you a lawyer file you a lawsuit
[01:21.36] I'll smile in the courtroom and buy you a wardrobe
[01:23.33] I'm tired of all you (of all you)
[01:25.47] I don't mean to be mean but that's all I can be is just me
[01:31.09] And I am whatever you say I am
[01:34.01] If I wasn't then why would I say I am
[01:36.67] In the paper the news everyday I am
[01:39.84] Radio won't even play my jam
[01:41.93] Cause I am whatever you say I am
[01:44.87] If I wasn't then why would I say I am
[01:47.55] In the paper the news everyday I am

[01:56.30] And Oh it's his lyrical content -
[01:57.57] - the song 'Guilty Conscience' has gotten such rotten responses
[01:59.87] And all of this controversy circles me
[02:06.31] and it seems like the media immediately
[02:07.58] points a finger at me (finger at me)
[02:11.54] So I point one back at 'em but not the index or pinkie
[02:13.78] or the ring or the thumb it's the one you put up
[02:16.98] when you don't give a fuck when you won't just put up
[02:18.96] with the bullshit they pull cause they full of shit too
[02:22.50] When a dude's gettin bullied and shoots up his school
[02:25.53] and they blame it on Marilyn (on Marilyn) and the heroin
[02:28.19] Where were the parents at And look where it's at
[02:33.45] Middle America now it's a tragedy
[02:34.68] Now it's so sad to see an upper class ci-ty
[02:37.68] havin this happenin (this happenin)
[02:38.42] then attack Eminem cause I rap this way (rap this way)
