| [00:00.47] |
Whatever |
| [00:01.13] |
|
| [00:09.62] |
Dre just let it run |
| [00:12.09] |
|
| [00:12.24] |
Aiyyo turn the beat up a little bit |
| [00:15.29] |
|
| [00:15.43] |
Aiyyo this song is for anyone fuck it |
| [00:21.41] |
|
| [00:21.55] |
Just shut up and listen aiyyo |
| [00:25.51] |
|
| [00:25.66] |
I sit back with this pack of Zig Zags and this bag |
| [00:27.91] |
|
| [00:28.06] |
of this weed it gives me the shit needed to be |
| [00:30.58] |
|
| [00:30.73] |
the most meanest MC on this -- on this Earth |
| [00:33.38] |
|
| [00:33.54] |
And since birth I've been cursed with this curse to just curse |
| [00:36.94] |
|
| [00:37.09] |
And just blurt this berserk and bizarre shit that works |
| [00:39.25] |
|
| [00:39.40] |
And it sells and it helps in itself to relieve |
| [00:41.76] |
|
| [00:41.96] |
all this tension dispensin these sentences |
| [00:44.43] |
|
| [00:44.63] |
Gettin this stress that's been eatin me recently off of this chest |
| [00:48.18] |
|
| [00:48.38] |
and I rest again peacefully (peacefully) |
| [00:50.89] |
|
| [00:51.04] |
but at least have the decency in you |
| [00:53.20] |
|
| [00:53.36] |
to leave me alone when you freaks see me out |
| [00:55.32] |
|
| [00:55.51] |
in the streets when I'm eatin or feedin my daughter |
| [00:58.26] |
|
| [00:58.47] |
to not come and speak to me (speak to me) |
| [01:00.47] |
|
| [01:00.67] |
I don't know you and no |
| [01:01.97] |
|
| [01:02.17] |
I don't owe you a mo-therfuck-in thing |
| [01:03.98] |
|
| [01:04.13] |
I'm not Mr N'Sync I'm not what your friends think |
| [01:06.38] |
|
| [01:06.53] |
I'm not Mr Friendly I can be a prick |
| [01:09.08] |
|
| [01:09.24] |
if you tempt me my tank is on empty (is on empty) |
| [01:12.21] |
|
| [01:12.42] |
No patience is in me and if you offend me |
| [01:14.47] |
|
| [01:14.61] |
I'm liftin you 10 feet (liftin you 10 feet) in the air |
| [01:19.40] |
|
| [01:19.60] |
I don't care who is there and who saw me destroy you |
| [01:20.80] |
|
| [01:21.00] |
Go call you a lawyer file you a lawsuit |
| [01:22.05] |
|
| [01:22.25] |
I'll smile in the courtroom and buy you a wardrobe |
| [01:25.65] |
|
| [01:25.86] |
I'm tired of all you (of all you) |
| [01:27.81] |
|
| [01:28.01] |
I don't mean to be mean but that's all I can be is just me |
| [01:30.93] |
|
| [01:31.13] |
And I am whatever you say I am |
| [01:33.79] |
|
| [01:33.93] |
If I wasn't then why would I say I am |
| [01:36.35] |
|
| [01:36.55] |
In the paper the news everyday I am |
| [01:39.21] |
|
| [01:39.35] |
Radio won't even play my jam |
| [01:42.06] |
|
| [01:42.21] |
Cause I am whatever you say I am |
| [01:43.92] |
|
| [01:44.06] |
If I wasn't then why would I say I am |
| [01:47.43] |
|
| [01:47.63] |
In the paper the news everyday I am |
| [01:50.75] |
|
| [01:50.75] |
I don't know it's just the way I am |
| [01:53.34] |
|
| [01:53.49] |
Sometimes I just feel like my father I hate to be bothered |
| [01:56.66] |
|
| [01:56.92] |
with all of this nonsense it's constant |
| [01:58.77] |
|
| [01:58.93] |
And Oh it's his lyrical content - |
| [02:00.74] |
|
| [02:00.94] |
- the song 'Guilty Conscience' has gotten such rotten responses |
| [02:03.93] |
|
| [02:04.13] |
And all of this controversy circles me |
| [02:06.55] |
|
| [02:06.75] |
and it seems like the media immediately |
| [02:09.21] |
|
| [02:09.41] |
points a finger at me (finger at me) |
| [02:11.42] |
|
| [02:11.63] |
So I point one back at 'em but not the index or pinkie |
| [02:14.69] |
|
| [02:14.90] |
or the ring or the thumb it's the one you put up |
| [02:17.46] |
|
| [02:17.61] |
when you don't give a fuck when you won't just put up |
| [02:20.22] |
|
| [02:20.42] |
with the bullshit they pull cause they full of shit too |
| [02:22.92] |
|
| [02:23.08] |
When a dude's gettin bullied and shoots up his school |
| [02:25.69] |
|
| [02:25.89] |
and they blame it on Marilyn (on Marilyn) and the heroin |
| [02:29.45] |
|
| [02:29.65] |
Where were the parents at And look where it's at |
| [02:31.97] |
|
| [02:32.17] |
Middle America now it's a tragedy |
| [02:34.13] |
|
| [02:34.33] |
Now it's so sad to see an upper class ci-ty |
| [02:36.19] |
|
| [02:36.34] |
havin this happenin (this happenin) |
| [02:38.90] |
|
| [02:39.11] |
then attack Eminem cause I rap this way (rap this way) |
| [02:41.51] |
|
| [02:41.66] |
But I'm glad cause they feed me the fuel that I need for the fire |
| [02:44.88] |
|
| [02:45.08] |
to burn and it's burnin and I have returned |
| [02:47.70] |
|
| [02:47.90] |
And I am whatever you say I am |
| [02:50.50] |
|
| [02:50.70] |
If I wasn't then why would I say I am |
| [02:53.06] |
|
| [02:53.25] |
In the paper the news everyday I am |
| [02:55.72] |
|
| [02:55.87] |
Radio won't even play my jam |
| [02:58.78] |
|
| [02:58.93] |
Cause I am whatever you say I am |
| [03:01.03] |
|
| [03:01.23] |
If I wasn't then why would I say I am |
| [03:03.90] |
|
| [03:04.10] |
In the paper the news everyday I am |

|
| [03:06.87] |
I don't know it's just the way I am |
| [03:09.82] |
|
| [03:10.02] |
I'm so sick and tired of bein admired |
| [03:12.33] |
|
| [03:12.48] |
that I wish that I would just die or get fired |
| [03:15.00] |
|
| [03:15.16] |
and dropped from my label and stop with the fables |
| [03:17.77] |
|
| [03:17.93] |
I'm not gonna be able to top on My Name is |
| [03:20.58] |
|
| [03:20.73] |
And pigeon-holed into some pop-py sensation |
| [03:23.35] |
|
| [03:23.50] |
to cop me rotation at rock'n'roll stations |
| [03:26.06] |
|
| [03:26.27] |
And I just do not got the patience (got the patience) |
| [03:29.13] |
|
| [03:29.29] |
