Way I Am, The Lyrics - Curtain Call - Eminem

...Man, whatever 

Dre, just let it run 

Ayo, turn the beat up a little bit 

Ayo, this song is for anyone... 

Fuck it, just shut up and listen, ayo 

I sit back with this pack of Zig-Zags 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 

Dispensing these sentences, getting this stress 

That's been eating me recently off of this chest 

And I rest again 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 eating or feeding my daughter 

To not come and speak to me 

I don't know you, and no, I don't owe you a mothafuckin' 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, no patience is in me 

And if you offend me, I'm lifting 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, 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, it'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 

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 getting bullied and shoots up his school 

And they blame it 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 happening 

Then attack Eminem 'cause I rap this way 

But I'm glad, 'cause they feed me the fuel that I need for the fire to burn and it's burning, 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, it's just the way I am 

I'm so sick and tired of being 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 on "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 

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 asking the same fucking questions 

What school did I go to, what hood I grew up in 

The why, the who, what, when, the where and the how 

Till I'm grabbing my hair and I'm tearin' it out 

'Cause they driving 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 standing by it 

No, I won't sign you an autograph 

You can call me an asshole, I'm glad, 'cause... 

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, it's just the way I am
