[Verse 1]
      Am                         Bm
I sit back with this pack of Zig-Zag's and this bag of this weed
                     Am                      C                 Am
It gives me the shit needed to be the most meanest MC on this,    on this Earth
           E                                Am
And since birth, I've been cursed with this curse to just curse
                                  Bm
And just blurt this berserk and bizarre shit that works
                               Am                        C
And it sells and it helps in itself to relieve all this tension
                  Am
Dispensing these sentences
                E                         Am
Getting this stress that's been eating me recently off of this chest
                  Bm
And I rest again peacefully
                      Am                  C
But at least have the decency in you to leave me alone
           Am
When you freaks see me out
          E                        Am
In the streets when I'm eating or feeding my daughter
                            Bm
To not come and speak to me
                                           Am
I don't know you and no, I don't owe you a motherfucking thing
     C                  Am
I'm not Mr. N'Sync, I'm not what your friends think
     E                  Am
I'm not Mr. Friendly, I can be a prick
                               Bm
If you tempt me, my tank is on empty
                         Am
No patience is in me and if you offend me
     C                   Am
I'm lifting you ten feet    in the air
         E                         Am
I don't care who was there and who saw me destroy you
                      Bm
Go call you a lawyer, file you a lawsuit
                                Am
I'll smile in the courtroom and buy you a wardrobe
     C               Am
I'm tired of all you
                     E                        Am
I don't mean to be mean, but that's all I can be, it's just me
 
 
[Chorus]
      Am              Bm
And I am whatever you say I am
                              Am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
        C                     Am       E
In the paper, the news, every day I am
                  Am
Radio won't even play my jam
        Am              Bm
Cause I am whatever you say I am
                              Am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
        C                     Am       E
In the paper, the news, every day I am
                              Am
I don't know, that's just the way I am
 
 
[Verse 2]
    Am                        Bm
Sometimes I just feel like my father
                                       Am
I hate to be bothered with all of this nonsense
                    C                    Am
It's constant and, "Oh, it's his lyrical content
                  E                          Am
The song "Guilty Conscience" has gotten such rotten responses"
                         Bm
And all of this controversy circles me
                              Am                  C           Am
And it seems like the media immediately points a finger at me
                    E
So I point one back at them
               Am
But not the index or pinkie, or the ring, or the thumb
         Bm
It's the one you put up when you don't give a fuck
         Am                          C
When you won't just put up with the bullshit they pull
           Am
Cause they full of shit too
        E                           Am
When a dude's getting bullied and shoots up his school
                             Bm
And they blame it on Marilyn    and the heroin
                           Am
Where were the parents at?
                        C
And look where it's at!
                Am
Middle America, now, it's a tragedy
 E                      Am                                           Bm
Now it's so sad to see,    an upper-class city having this happening
                                        Am
Then attack Eminem cause I rap this way
                         C                       Am
But I'm glad cause they feed me the fuel that I need
                 E                         Am
For the fire to burn and it's burning, and I have returned
 
 
[Chorus]
      Am              Bm
And I am whatever you say I am
                              Am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
        C                     Am       E
In the paper, the news, every day I am
                  Am
Radio won't even play my jam
        Am              Bm
Cause I am whatever you say I am
                              Am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
        C                     Am       E
In the paper, the news, every day I am
                              Am
I don't know, that's just the way I am
 
 
[Verse 3]
    Am                   Bm
I'm so sick and tired of being admired
                              Am
That I wish that I would just die or get fired
      C                           Am
And dropped from my label, let's stop with the fables
     E                   Am
I'm not gonna be able to top on "My Name Is"
                           Bm
And pigeon-holed into some poppy sensation
                      Am
To cop me rotation at rock'n'roll stations
    C                     Am       E                             Am
And I just do not got the patience   to deal with these cocky Caucasians
                                                Bm
Who think I'm some wigger who just tries to be black
                                           Am
Cause I talk with an accent and grab on my balls
                     C                       Am
So they always keep asking the same fucking questions
        E
What school did I go to?
      Am
What hood I grew up in?
                                   Bm
The why, the who, what, when, the where and the how
                                   Am
Till I'm grabbing my hair and I'm tearing it out
             C              Am
Cause they driving me crazy
                      E                     Am
I can't take it, I'm racing, I'm pacing, I stand and I sit
                           Bm
And I'm thankful for every fan that I get
                               Am                         C            Am
But I can't take a shit in the bathroom without someone standing by it
                            E
No, I won't sign your autograph
                   Am
You can call me an asshole, I'm glad
 
 
[Chorus]
        Am              Bm
Cause I am whatever you say I am
                              Am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
        C                     Am       E
In the paper, the news, every day I am
                  Am
Radio won't even play my jam
        Am              Bm
Cause I am whatever you say I am
                              Am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
        C                     Am       E
In the paper, the news, every day I am
                              Am
I don't know, that's just the way I am
