Eminem – The Way I Am

Whatever..
Dre, just let it run
Aiyyo turn the beat up a little bit
Aiyyo.. this song is for anyone.. fu*k it
Just shut up and listen, aiyyo..

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 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 mo-therfu*k-in 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 (is on empty)..
No patience is in me and if you offend me
I’m liftin you 10 feet (liftin you 10 feet).. in the air
I don’t care who is 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 is just me

[Chorus]
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 pinkie
Or the ring or the thumb, it’s the one you put up
When you don’t give a fu*k, 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? And look where it’s at
Middle America, now it’s a tragedy
Now it’s so sad to see, an upper class ci-ty
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

[Chorus]

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..”
And pigeon-holed into some pop-py 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 fu*kin questions (fu*kin questions)..
What school did I go to, what hood I grew up in
The why, the who what when, the where, and the how
’til 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 ev-ery 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

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
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

Prevod na srpski

Takav sam

Šta god..
Dre, samo pusti nek ide
Alo, pojačaj malo ritam
Oh čoveče… ova pesma je za bilo koga… je*i ga
Samo začepi i slušaj, ovamo…

Sedim zavaljen sa ovim pakovanjem cigaret papira i ovom vrećom
ove trave i to mi daje ono što mi treba da bih bio
najopakiji reper na ovom – na ovom svetu
A otkako sam se rodio, proklet sam ovom kletvom da samo psujem
I da izvaljujem ova destruktivna i bizarna sranja koja deluju
i prodaju se i sama od sebe pomažu da se oslobodi
sva ova tenzija što nabija ove rečenice
da skinem s duše sav ovaj stres što me u poslednje vreme izjeda
I ponovo danem dušom (mirno)…
Ali bar imajte toliko poštovanja
da me ostavite na miru, kada me prestravite
na ulici, kada jedem ili hranim svoju kćerku
da mi ne prilazite i ne obraćate mi se (obraćate mi se)…
Ne poznajem vas i ne,
ne dugujem vam baš ništa
Ja nisam g-din N’Sync, ja nisam ono za šta me tvoji drugovi smatraju
Ja nisam g-ding Ljubazni, ja umem da budem smrad
Ako me izazivate, moji živci su pri kraju (na kraju)..
Nemam ni malo strpljenja i ako me uvredite
dižem vas 3 metra (dižem 3 metra).. iznad zemlje
Nije me briga koga ima niti ko me je video kako vas uništavam
Slobodno idi zovi svog advokata, serviraj mi tužbu
Smeškaću se u sudnici i kupiću ti tacnu
Umoran sam od svađa (od svađa)..
Ne bih da budem podao ali samo tako mogu, prosto takav sam

[Refren: Eminem]

I, ja sam šta god kažete da sam
Ako nisam zašto bih onda rekao da jesam?
U novinama, svakodnevna vest ja sam
Radio čak i ne pušta moje stvari
Zato što sam ja sve što kažete da jesam
Ako nisam zašto bih onda rekao da jesam?
U novinama, svakodnevna vest ja sam
Ne znam, prosto takav sam

Ponekad sam baš kao moj otac, mrzim da me njakaju
sa svim ovim konstantnim glupostima
I, “Oh, to je tekst njegove pesme –
– ‘Nečista savest‘ dobila je očajne kritike”
I sva ova kontroverznost me okružuje
i čini se da mediji odmah
u mene prst upere (prst u mene)…
Tako da i ja njima pokazujem jedan, ali ne kažiprst ni mali prst
niti domali niti palac, već onaj kojeg podigneš
kad te boli k$%#, kad prosto nećeš da trpiš
ta sranja koja prave, jer i oni samo seru
Kad nekog lika maltretiraju i upucaju u školi
i za to krive Merlina (Merlina).. i heroin
Gde su roditelji bili? I vidi, sad kad je u
Srednjoj Americi, sad je to tragedija
Sad je to tako tužno, kad se u jednom gradu gde živi viša klasa
tako nešto događa (nešto događa)..
Onda napadaju Eminema jer ja ovako repujem (ovako repujem)
Ali meni je drago jer mi daju gorivo koje mi je potrebno da bi vatra
gorela i ona gori a ja sam se vratio

[Refren]

Toliko mi je više muka od toga da mi se dive
da bih voleo da jednostavno umrem ili da me otpuste
i skinu moje ime s izdavačke kuće i prestanu s izmišljotinama
Neću moći da nadmašim „Zovem se…
niti da se klasifikujem kao neka pop senzacija
da bi se vrteo na rock n’roll stanicama
I ja jednostavno nemam strpljenja (strpljenja)..
da se bakćem sa onim nadmenim belcima koji misle
da sam ja neki kvazi crnja koji se trudi da bude crn jer pričam
sa naglaskom, i vatam se za mu*a, tako da me uporno pitaju
ista je*ena pitanja (je*ena pitanja)..
U koju sam školu išao, u kom komšiluku odrastao
Sva ta zašto, ko, šta, kada, gde, i kako
dok ne počnem da se vatam za glavu i čupam kosu
Zato što me izluđuju (izluđuju me).. Ne mogu to da podnesem
Ubrzavam, usporavam, ja stojim ja sedim
I zahvalan sam na svakom obožavatelju kojeg imam
Ali ne mogu ni da serem u kupatilo
a da neko ne stoji pored
Ne, neću vam dati autogram
Možete reći da sam smrad, drago mi je

Jer ja jesam šta god kažete da sam
Ako nisam zašto bih onda rekao da jesam?
U novinama, svakodnevna vest ja sam
Radio čak i ne pušta moje stvari
Zato što sam ja sve što kažete da jesam
Ako nisam zašto bih onda rekao da jesam?
U novinama, svakodnevna vest ja sam
Ne znam, prosto takav sam
