Testo di 'The Way I Am (feat. Eminem)' di Marilyn Manson

Dre, just let it run
Hey yo turn the beat up a little bit
Hey yo, this song is for anyone, fuck it
Shut up and listen

(Hey yo)
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 Earth
And since birth I've been cursed, with this curse to just curse
(Mother fuck!)

And just blurt this berserk, and bizarre shit that works
And it sells, and it helps in itself to relieve all this tension
Dispensin' these sentences, gettin' this stress that's been eatin me recently
Off of this chest, and I rest again peacefully (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 eatin' or feedin' my daughter
To not come and speak to me (speak to me)
I don't know you and no, I don't owe you a motherfucking thing!
I'm not mister NSync, I'm not what your friends think
I'm not mister friendly, I can be a prick
If you tempt me, my tank is on empty (is on empty)
No patience is in me, and if you offend me
I'm liftin' you ten feet, (liftin you' 10 feet)
In the air, I don't care who was there, and who saw me destroy 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 arguin' (of arguin')
I don't mean to be mean, but that's all I can be, it's just me
And

And I am, whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news, everyday 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, everyday 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 (finger at me)
So I point one back at 'em, but not the index or pinky
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 gettin bullied and shoots up his school
And they blame it on Marilyn (on Marilyn)

And the heroin, where were the parents at?! (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 happenin (this happenin)
Then attack eminem, 'cause I rap this way (rap this way)
But I'm glad 'cause they feed me the fuel, that I need for the fire
To burn, and it's burnin', and I have returned!
And

And I am, whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news, everyday 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, everyday I am
I don't know, it's just the way I am

I'm so sick and tired of bein' admired
That I wish that I would just die, or get fired
And dropped from my label, and stop with the fables
I'm not gonna be able, to top on my name is (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, (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 askin' the same fuckin' questions (fuckin' 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 grabbin my hair, and I'm tearin it out!
'Cause they drivin' me crazy! (drivin' 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 standin' by it
No I won't sign your autograph
You can call me an asshole
I'm glad

And I am, whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the papers, the news, everyday 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 papers, the news everyday I am
I don't know, it's just the way I am
(Way I am, way I am, way I am)

Hey! Hey! Hey!
I don't know, it's just the way I am
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Radio won't even play my jam

'Cause I am, whatever you say I am
Hey! Hey! Hey!
'Cause I am, whatever you say I am
Hey! Hey! Hey!
'Cause I am, whatever you say I am
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Radio won't even play my jam
'Cause I am, whatever you say I am
Hey! Hey! Hey!
