The Monster

Rihanna:
                     C#5   B5              A5
I'm friends with a monster that's under my bed
                     C#5   B5              A5
Get a long with the voices inside of my head
              C#5
You trying to save me
      B5            A5
Stop holding your breath
    C#5         B5              A5
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
(C#5 B5 A5)Eminem:
I wanted the fame, but not the cover of Newsweek
Oh, well, guess beggars can't be choosey
Wanted to receive attention for my music
Wanted to be left alone in public, excuse me
Been wanting my cake, and eat it too
And wanting it both ways
Fame made me a balloon cause my ego inflated
When I blew; see, it was confusing
Cause all I wanted to do is
Be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf
Abused ink, used it as a tool
When I blew steam (wooh!)
Hit the lottery, oh wee
With what I gave up to get was bittersweet
With this like winning a huge meet
Ironic cause I think I'm getting so huge
I need a shrink
I'm beginning to lose sleep
One sheep, two sheep
Going cuckoo and cooky as Kool Keith
But I'm actually weirder than you think
Cause I'm

Well, that's not fair
                       
Well, that's not fair
(C#5 B5 A5) Eminem:
No, I ain't much of a poet
But I know somebody once told me
To seize the moment and don't squander it
'Cause you never know when it all could be over tomorrow
So I keep conjuring
Sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from
(Yeah, ponder it, do you want this?
No wonder you losing your mind
The way it wanders)
Yo-lo-lo-lo-yee-whoo
I think you've been wandering off down yonder
And stumbled onto Jeff VanVonderen
'Cause I need an interventionist
To intervene between me and this monster
And save me from myself and all this conflict
'Cause the very thing that I love is killing me
And I can't conquer it
My OCD is conking me in the head
Keep knocking, nobody's home, I'm sleepwalking
I'm just relaying what the voice
In my head's saying
Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just friends with the

(C#5 B5 A5) Eminem:
Call me crazy, but I have this vision
One day that I walk amongst you a regular civilian
But until then drums get killed and I'm coming straight at
Emcees, blood get spilled and I
Take it back to the days that I get on a Dre track
Give every kid who got played at
Pumped up feeling and shit to say back
To the kids who played 'em
I ain't here to save the fucking children
But if one kid out of a hundred million
Who are going through a struggle feels
And then relates that's great
It's payback, Russell Wilson falling way back
In the draft, turn nothing into something
Still can make that
Straw into gold chump
I will spin Rumpelstiltskin in a haystack
Maybe I need a straight jacket, face facts
I am nuts for real, but I'm okay with that
It's nothing, I'm still friends with the

Lighters 
Tom: C
Intro: C -  Em - Am - F
[Bruno Mars]
                       C 
This one's for you and me,
               Em
living out our dreams
          Am                    F 
We're all right where we should be
                 C               Em
Lift my arms out wide, I open my eyes
        Am          F
And now all I wanna see
                 C      Em 
Is a sky full of lighters
              Am     F 
A sky full of lighters 
[Eminem] 
By the time you hear this I will have already spiralled up 
I would never do nothing to let you cowards fuck my world up 
If I was you, I would duck, or get struck like lightening, 
Fighters keep fighting, put your lighters up, point em' skyward uh 
Had a dream I was king, I woke up, still king? 
This rap game's nipple is mine for the milking, 
Till nobody else even fucking feels me, till' it kills me 
I swear to god I'll be the fucking illest in this music 
There is or there ever will be, disagree? 
Feel free, but from now on I'm refusing to ever give up 
The only thing I ever gave up is using. No more excuses. 
Excuse me if my head is too big for this building 
And pardon me if I'm a cocky prick but you cocks are slick 
Poppin shit on how you flipped ya life around, crock-of-shit 
Who you dicks try to kid, flipped dick, you did the opposite 
You stayed the same, cause cock backwards is still cock you pricks 
I love it when I tell em shove it 
Cause it wasn't that long ago when Marshall sat, luster lacked, flustered 
Cuz he couldn't cut mustard, muster up nothing 
Brain fuzzy, cause he's buzzin', woke up from that buzz 
Now you wonder why he does it, how he does it 
Wasn't cause he had buzzards circle around his head 
Waiting for him to drop dead, was it? 
Or was it, cause them bitches wrote him off 
Little hussy ass fusses, cause f-ck it, guess it doesn't matter now, does it 
What difference it make? 
What it take to get it through your thick skulls 
As if this aint some bullshit 
People don't usually come back this way 
From a place that was dark as I was in 
Just to get to this place 
Now let these words be like a switch blade to a haters rib cage 
And let it be known from this day forward 
I wanna just say thanks cause your hate is what gave me the strength
So let em bic's raise cause I came with 5'9? but I feel like I'm 6'8? 
[Bruno Mars] 
This one's for you and me, living out our dreams 
We're all right where we should be 
Lift my arms out wide I open my eyes 
And now all I wanna see 
Is a sky full of lighters 
A sky full of lighters 
[Royce Da 5'9"] 
By the time you hear this I'll probably already be outtie 
I advance like going from toting iron to going and buying 4 or 5 of the homies the iron man Audi 
My daddy told me slow down, boy, you goin to blow it 
And I aint gotta stop the beat a minute 
To tell Shady I love him the same way that he did Dr Dre on the Chronic 
Tell him how real he is or how high I am 
Or how I would kill for him for him to know it 
I cried plenty tears, my daddy got a bad back 
So it's only right that I right till he can march right into that post office and 
tell em to hang it up 
Now his career's Lebron's jersey in 20 years 
I'll stop when I'm at the very top 
You shitted on me on your way up 
It's 'bout to be a scary drop 
Cause what goes up must come down 
You going down on something you don't wanna see like a hairy box 
Every hour, happy hour now 
Life is wacky now 
Used to have to eat the cat to get the pussy 
Now I'm just the cats meoww, ow 
Classic now, always down for the catch weight like 
Pacquiao 
Ya'll are doomed 
I remember when T-Pain aint wanna work with me 
My car starts itself, parks itself and autotunes 
Cause now I'm in the Aston 
I went from having my city locked up 
To getting treated like Kwame Kilpatrick 
And now I'm fantastic 
Compared to a weed high 
And y'all niggas just gossipin' like bitches 
on a radio and TV 
See me, we fly 
Y'all buggin out like Wendy Williams staring at a bee-hive 
And how real is that 
I remember signing my first deal and now I'm the second best I can deal with that 
Now Bruno can show his ass, 
without the MTV awards gag 
[Bruno Mars] (Bridge)
        F                C                 Em
You and I know what it's like to be kicked down
          Am 
Forced to fight
      F           C
But tonight we're alright
                Em 
So hold up your lights
       Am 
Let it shine 
Cause this one's for you and me, 
living out our dreams 
We're all right where we should be 
Lift my arms out wide I open my eyes 
And now all I wanna see 
Is a sky full of lighters 
A sky full of lighters

Too late for the other side

Caught in a chase

20-5 to life
(G D A E)
I don't think she understands
The sacrifices that I made
Maybe if this bitch had acted right
I would have stayed
But I've already wasted over half my life
I would have laid down and died for you
I longer cried for you
No more pain
Bitch you took me for granted
Took my heart and ran it straight into the planet
Into the dirt
I can no longer stand it
Now my respect I demand it
Imma take control of this relationship
Command it
And I'm gonna be the boss of you now goddammit
And what I mean is that 
I'm will no longer let you control me
So you better hear me out
This much you owe me
I gave up my life for you
Totally devoted to you
Why I've stayed
Paid for all the way
This is how I fucking get repaid?
Look at how I dress
Fucking baggy sweats
Go to work a mess
Always in a rush to get back to you
I ain't heard you yet
Not even once that you appreciate me
I deserve respect
I've done my best to give you 
Nothing less then perfectness
And I know that if I end this
I'll no longer have nothing left
But you keep treating me like a staircase
It's time to fucking step
And I wont be coming back
So don't hold your fucking breath
You know what you've done
No need to go in depth
I told you you'd be sorry
If I fucking left
I laughed while you wept
How's it feel now?
Yeh funny ain't it
You neglected me
Did me a favour
Let all my spirit free
You've said
Got a special place for you
In my heart
That I have kept
It's unfortunate but it's
Too late
For the other side
Caught in a chase
25 to life
Too late
For the other side
Caught in a chase
25 to life
I feel like
When I bend over backwards for you
All you do is laugh
Cuz that ain't good enough
You expect me to fold myself in half
Till I snap
Don't think I'm loyal
All I do is rap
How can I moonlight on the side
I have no life outside of that
Don't I give you enough of my time?
You don't think so do you?
Jealous when I spend time with the girls
Why I'm married to you still
Man I don't know
But tonight I'm serving you with papers
I'm divorcing you
Go marry someone else
And make em famous
And take away their freedom
Like you did to me
Treat em like you don't need em
And they ain't worthy of you
Feed em 
The same shit that you made me eat
I'm moving on
Forget you
Oh now I'm special
I don't feel special when I was wit you
All I ever felt was this 
Helplessness
Imprisoned by a selfish bitch
Chew me up and spit me out
I fell for this
So many times
It's ridiculous
And still I stick with this
I'm sick of this
But in my sickness
And addiction
Your addictive as they get
Evil as they come
Vindictive as they make em
My friends keep asking me
Why I can't just walk away from them
I'm addicted
To the pain, the stress
And drama
I'm drawn to shit
So I guess I'm a mess
Cursed and blessed
But this time imma
Ain't changing my mind
I'm climbing out this abyss
Your screaming as I walk out
That I'll be missed
But when you spoke of people 
Who meant the most to you
You left me off my list
Fuck you hip hop
I'm leaving you
My life sentence is served bitch
And it's just
Too late
For the other side
Caught in a chase
25 to life
Too late
For the other side
Caught in a chase
25 to life
Too late
Caught in a chase
25 to life
Love The Way You Lie
Tom: G#m
          G#m 
Just gonna stand there 
               D# 
And watch me burn 
             B 
But that's alright 
Because I like 
          F 
The way it hurts 
          G#m 
Just gonna stand there 
             D# 
And hear me cry 
             B 
But that's alright 
Because I love 
          F 
The way you lie 
I love the way you lie 
I love the way you lie 
      
I can't tell you what it really is 
I can only tell you what it feels like 
And right now there's a steel knife 
In my windpipe 
I can't breathe 
But I still fight 
While I can fight 
As long as the wrong feels right 
It's like I'm in flight 
High of a love 
Drunk from the hate 
It's like I'm huffing paint 
And I love it the more that I suffer 
I sufficate 
And right before im about to drown 
She resuscitates me 
She fucking hates me 
And I love it 
Wait 
Where you going 
I'm leaving you 
No you ain't 
Come back 
We're running right back 
Here we go again 
It's so insane 
Cause when it's going good 
It's going great 
I'm Superman 
With the wind in his bag 
She's Lois Lane 
But when it's bad 
It's awful 
I feel so ashamed 
I snap 
Who's that dude 
I don't even know his name 
I laid hands on her 
I'll never stoop so low again 
I guess I don't know my own strength  
        
          G#m 
Just gonna stand there 
               D# 
And watch me burn 
             B 
But that's alright 
Because I like 
          F 
The way it hurts 
          G#m 
Just gonna stand there 
             D# 
And hear me cry 
             B 
But that's alright 
Because I love 
          F 
The way you lie 
I love the way you lie 
I love the way you lie 
      
You ever love somebody so much 
You can barely breathe 
When you're with them 
You meet 
And neither one of you 
Even know what hit them 
Got that warm fuzzy feeling 
Yeah them chills 
Used to get them 
Now you're getting fucking sick 
Of looking at them 
You swore you've never hit them 
Never do nothing to hurt them 
Now you're in each other's face 
Spewing venom 
And these words 
When you spit them 
You push 
Pull each other's hair 
Scratch, claw, pit them 
Throw them down 
Pin them 
So lost in the moments 
When you're in them 
It's the craze that the corporate 
 Controls you both 
So they say it's best 
To go your separate ways 
Guess that they don't know you 
Cause today 
That was yesterday 
Yesterday is over 
It's a different day 
Sound like broken records 
Playing over 
But you promised her 
Next time you'll show restraint 
You don't get another chance 
Life is no Nintendo game 
But you lied again 
Now you get to watch her leave 
Out the window 
Guess that's why they call it windowpane 
        
          G#m 
Just gonna stand there 
               D# 
And watch me burn 
             B 
But that's alright 
Because I like 
          F 
The way it hurts 
          G#m 
Just gonna stand there 
             D# 
And hear me cry 
             B 
But that's alright 
Because I love 
          F 
The way you lie 
I love the way you lie 
I love the way you lie 
      
Now I know we said things 
Did things 
That we didn't mean 
And we fall back 
Into the same patterns 
Same routine 
But your temper's just as bad 
As mine is 
You're the same as me 
But when it comes to love 
You're just as blinded 
Baby please come back 
It wasn't you 
Baby it was me 
Maybe our relationship 
Isn't as crazy as it seems 
Maybe that's what happens 
When a tornado meets a volcano 
All I know is 
I love you too much 
To walk away now 
Come inside 
Pick up your bags off the sidewalk 
Don't you hear sincerity 
In my voice when I talk 
Told you this is my fault 
Look me in the eyeball 
Next time I'm pissed 
I'll aim my fist 
At the dry wall 
Next time 
There will be no next time 
I apologize 
Even though I know it's lies 
I'm tired of the games 
I just want her back 
I know I'm a liar 
If she ever tries to fucking leave again 
I'mma tie her to the bed 
And set this house on fire 
Just gonna 
        
          G#m 
Just gonna stand there 
               D# 
And watch me burn 
             B 
But that's alright 
Because I like 
          F 
The way it hurts 
          G#m 
Just gonna stand there 
             D# 
And hear me cry 
             B 
But that's alright 
Because I love 
          F 
The way you lie 
I love the way you lie 
I love the way you lie 
      
Deja Vu 
Tom: C
(C B Em)
( Verse1 ) 
As i fall deeper into a manic state 
Im a prime candidate for the gene to receive the drug addict traits 
Blood pressure climbs at a dramatic rate 
I seem to gravitate to the bottle of night quil then i salivate 
Start off with the night quil like i think I'll just have a taste 
Couple sips of that then i gradually graduate 
Too a harder prescription drug called Valium like ya that's great 
I go to take just one and i end up like having eight 
Now i need something in my stomach cuz i haven't ate 
Maybe I'll grab a plate of nachos and I'll have a steak 
And you'd think with all i have at stake 
Look at my daughters face.... 
Mommy somethings is wrong with dad i think 
He's acting weird again he's really beginning to scare me 
Wont shave his beard again and he pretends he doesn't hear me 
And all he does is eat Doritos and Cheetos 
And he just fell asleep in his car eating three musketeers in the rear seat 
( Hook ) 
Sometimes i feel so alone, 
I just don't know ,feels like i been down this road before, 
So lonely and cold, It's like something takes over me, 
Soon as i go home and close the door, 
kinda feels like deja vu, I wanna get away from this place i do, 
But i cant and i wont say i tried but i know that's a lie cuz i don't 
and why i just don't know..... 
( Verse2 ) 
Maybe just a nice cold brew what's a beer 
Thats the devil in my ear i been sober a fuckin year 
And that fucker still talks to me he is all i can fuckin hear 
Marshall come on we'll watch the game it's the cowboys and buccaneers 
And maybe if i just drink half I'll be halved buzzed for half of the time 
Who's that mastermind behind that little line 
With that kind of rational man i got half a mind 
Too have another half of glass of wine sound asinine 
Ya i know 
But i never had no problem with alcohol 
Ouch look out for the wall aim for the couch im about to fall 
I missed the couch and down i go looking like a bouncing ball 
Shit must have knocked me out cuz i aint feel the ground at all 
Wow what the fuck happened last night where am i 
Man fuck am i hungover and god damn i got a head ache 
Shit half a vicodin why cant i ? 
" All systems ready for take off please stand by " 
( Hook ) 
Sometimes i feel so alone, 
I just don't know ,feels like i been down this road before, 
So lonely and cold, It's like something takes over me, 
Soon as i go home and close the door, 
kinda feels like deja vu, I wanna get away from this place i do, 
But i cant and i wont say i tried but i know that's a lie cuz i don't 
and why i just don't know..... 
( Verse3 ) 
So i take a vicodin splash it hits my stomach and ahh 
A couple weeks go by it aint even like im getting high 
now i need it just not to feel sick ya im getting by 
Wouldn't even be taking this shit if deshaun didn't die 
Oh ya theres an excuse you lose proof so you use 
There's new rules it's cool if it's helpin you to get through 
It's twelve noon aint no harm in self inducing a snooze 
What else is new fuck it what would elvis do in your shoes 
now here i am 3 months later full blown relapse 
Just get high untill the kids get home from two homes relax 
And since im convinced that im in-somniac 
I need these pills to be able to sleep so i take 3 naps 
Just to be able to function throughout the day lets see 
That's an ambian each nap how many valium 3 
And that will average out to about one good hours sleep 
Ok so now you see the reason how come he 
Has taken 4 years just too put out an album b 
See me and you we almost had the same outcome Heath 
Cuz that christmas you know the nomonia thing 
It was bolognya was it the methadone ya think 
Or the hydrocodone you hide inside your pornos 
your vcr tape cases with you ambian cr great places to hide aint it 
So you can lie to hailie im going beddy bye whitney baby good night elaina 
Go in the room and shut the bedroom door and wake up in ambulance 
They said they found me on the bathroom floor 
( Hook ) 
Sometimes i feel so alone, 
I just dont know ,feels like i been down this road before, 
So lonely and cold, It's like something takes over me, 
Soon as i go home and close the door, 
kinda feels like deja vu, I wanna get away from this place i do, 
But i cant and i wont say i tried but i know thats a lie cuz i dont 
and why i just dont know.....

A
  In this corner
G#          C#m
  weighing 175 pounds
                A
with a record of 17 rapes
G#     C#m
  400 assaults and 4 murders
    A               G#
the undisputed most diabolic
               C#m(hold)
villain in the world
Slim Shady
Chorus : Eminem
A
  So crack a bottle
G#
let your body waddle
      C#m
Don’t act like a snobby
model you just 
hit the lotto
A
  O-oh o-oh bitches
G#
hopping in my Tahoe
C#m
Got one riding shotgun 
and no not one 
of them got gloves
A
  Now where’s the rubbers?
      G#
Whose got the rubbers?
  C#m
I noticed there’s 
so many of them
and there’s really 
not that many of us
Ladies love us and my
posse’s kicking up
dust It’s on till
the break of dawn
and we’re starting
this party from dusk

Ok … let’s go
Verse 1: Eminem, do chords A-G#-C#m
Back when Andre the 
giant mister elephant tusk
Fix your must, you’ll just
be another one bit the dust
Just one up my mothers son 
who got thrown under the bus
Kiss my butt. Lick from 
under cheese from under my nuts
It disgusts me to see the 
game the way that it looks
Its a must I redeem my
name n haters get mushed
Bitch3s lust. Man they love
me when I lay in the cut
Fist the cut. The lady give
her eighty some paper cut
Now picture us. Its ridiculous
you curse at the thought
Cuz when I spit the verse the shit
gets worse then worcestershire sauce
If I could fit the words as 
picture perfect works every time
Every verse, every line
as simple as nursery rhymes
Its elementary. The elephants
have entered the room
I venture to say with the 
center of attention its true
Not to mention back with a 
vengeance so here’s the signal
Of the bat symbol The platinum
trio’s back on you hoes
(Repeat Chorus)
Ladies and 
gentlemen Dr. Dre
Verse 2: Dr Dre do chords A-G#-C#m
They see that low rider go
by there,like Oh my!
You ain’t got to tell me why 
you’re sick cuz I know why
I dip through in that six 
trey like sick em Dre.
I’m an itch that they cant
scratch, they’re sick of me.
But hey, what else 
can I say? I love LA.
Cuz over and above all
its just another day
And this one begins where 
the last one ends.
Pick up where we left off 
and get smashed again.
I’ll be dammed, just fucked
around and crashed my Benz.
Driving around with 
a smashed front end
Lets cash that one in.
Grab another one 
from out the stable
The Monte Carlo El
Camino or the El Dorado
The hell if I know
Do I want leather
 seats or vinyl?
Decisions, decision
Garage looks like 
precision collision.
Or maico beats 
quake like Waco
Just keep the bass low speakers
away from your face though

(Repeat Chorus)
And I take great pleasure
in introducing: 50 Cent
Verse 3: 50 Cent do chords A-G#-C#m
It’s bottle after bottle
The money ain’t a thang 
when you party with me
Its what we into its simple
We ball out of control 
like you wouldn’t believe
I’m the napalm the bomb
 the don i’m King Kong
Get rolled on wrapped 
up and reigned on
I’m so calm through 
Vietnam ring the alarm
Bring the shaun dawn burn 
marajauan do what you want
Nigga on and on 
till the break of what
Get the paper man i’m 
caking you know i
don’t give a fuck
I spend it like 
it don’t mean nothing
Blow it like its 
supposed to be blown
Motherfucker i’m grown
I stunt i style i 
flash the sh-t
I gets what the fuck 
i want so what I trick
Fat ass burgundy bags classy
shit Jimmy Cho shoes
I say move a bitch move
(Repeat Chorus)
I Remember 
Tom: Em
     Em                               D
There once was a man who liked to jump around (jump around)
     Em                          D
But he got too old to jump up and down (up and down)
(so then what happened?)
     Em                               D
So he put the mic down and picked the guitar up (picked the guitar up)
(and then he what?)
 Em                C                       D
Started singin the blues like there's no tomorrow (no tomorrow)(come on)
 Em                           D
Left his boys in the house of pain (the house of pain)
Em                                 D
It was the wisest decision he ever made (ever made)
 Em                                 D
But the dumbest thing he could ever do (could ever do)
           C
Was try to buck a 380 on those that act shady
        D
Tell me now what you gonna do (now what you gonna do)
[chorus]
Em                         D
Cause I remember all those years, How it was when you were here
Em                D
I remember how it was, how it was when you were young
C                     D
Yesterday was so long ago (long ago)
C
Kid Rock and Limp Bizkit came along now
D                                            Em
Don't nobody wanna hear your old ass sing no more
remember back when you had The Knack (had the knack)
And i remember when you had your first heart attack (heart attack)
I was right there laughin when I heard the news (heard the news)
I just wish the cardiac would'a murdered you (would'a murdered you)
Maybe Ice-T's right, you are a bitch (you are a bitch)
You come around when you're broke and you leave when you're rich (leave when you're rich)
But the dumbest thing that you could ever do (you could ever do)
Was try to buck a 380 on those that act shady
Tell me now what you gonna do (now what you gonna do)
Like Toy Soldiers
Tom: E
Intro:
  E             B               C#m
[Step by step, heart to heart, left right left
   F#m       A   
We all fall down …
 
 
[Chorus] 
E               B              C#m
Step by step, heart to heart, left right left 
   F#m       A     B        C#m
We all fall down   like toy soldiers 
E            B            C#m
Bit by bit, torn apart, we never win 
         F#m    A       B          C#m
but the battle wages on   for toy soldiers 
 
[Verse 1] 
        C#m                          B
I'm supposed to be the soldier who never blows his composure 
       E                               G#
Even though I hold the weight of the whole world on my shoulders 
      A                              B
I am never supposed to show it, my crew ain't supposed to know it 
           C#m                                  B
Even if it means goin' toe to toe with a Benzino it don't matter 
     C#m                B                                  E 
I'd never drag them in battles that I can handle unless I absolutely have to 
        G#    
I'm supposed to set an example 
   A                          B
I need to be the leader, my crew looks for me to guide 'em 
         C#m                                          B
If some shit ever just pop off, I'm supposed to be beside 'em 
                   C#m                 B
Now the Ja shit i tried to squash it, it was too late to stop it 
  E                              G# 
There's a certain line you just don't cross and he crossed it 
   A                                B
I heard him say Hailie's name on a song and I just lost it 
        C#m                                            B
It was crazy, this shit be way beyond some Jay-z and Nas shit 
    C#m                          B
And even though the battle was won, I feel like we lost it 
                 E                          G# 
I spent too much energy on it, honestly I'm exhausted 
            A                      B   
And I'm so caught in it I almost feel I'm the one who caused it 
     C#m                                             B
This ain't what I'm in hip-hop for, it's not why I got in it 
          C#m                  B
That was never my object for someone to get killed 
  E                        G# 
Why would I wanna destroy something I help build 
   A                         B
It wasn't my intentions, my intentions was good 
   C#m                                               B
I went through my whole career without ever mentionin' ...
             C#m                  B
Now it's just out of respect for not runnin' my mouth 
     E                           G#
And talkin' about something that I knew nothing about 
      A                                B
Plus Dre told me stay out, this just wasn't my beef 
      C#m                                           B
So I did, I just fell back, watched and gritted my teeth 
          C#m                   B                 E 
While he's all over t.v. down talkin' a man who literally saved my life 
      G#                           A
Like fuck it i understand this is business 
                           B
And this shit just isn't none of my business 
     C#m 
But still knowin' this shit could pop off at any minute cuz 
 
 
[Chorus] 
E               B               C#m
Step by step, heart to heart, left right left 
   F#m       A     B         C#m
We all fall down   like toy soldiers 
E            B              C#m
Bit by bit, torn apart, we never win 
         F#m    A        B          C#m
but the battle wages on   for toy soldiers 
 
[Verse 2] 
There used to be a time when you could just say a rhyme 
And wouldn't have to worry about one of your people dyin' 
But now it's elevated cuz once you put someone's kids in it 
The shit gets escalated, it ain't just words no more is it? 
It's a different ball game, callin' names and you ain't just rappin' 
We actually tried to stop the 50 and Ja beef from happenin' 
Me and Dre had sat with him, kicked it and had a chat with him 
And asked him not to start it he wasn't gonna go after him 
Until Ja started yappin' in magazines how we stabbed him 
Fuck it 50 smash 'em, mash 'em and let him have it 
Meanwhile my attention is pullin' in other directions 
Some receptionist at The Source who answers phones at his desk 
Has an obsession for me and thinks that I'll be his ressurection 
Tries to blow the dust off his mic and make a new record 
But now he's fucked the game up cuz one of the ways I came up 
Was through that publication the same one that made me famous 
Now the owner of it has got a grudge against me for nothin' 
Well fuck it, that mutherfucker can get it too, fuck him then 
But I'm so busy being pissed off I don't stop to think 
That we just inherited 50's beef with Murder Inc. 
And he's inherited mine which is fine ain't like either of us mind 
We still have soldiers that's on the front line 
That's willing to die for us as soon as we give the orders 
Never to extort us, strictly to show they support us 
We'll maybe shout 'em out in a rap or up in a chorus 
To show them we love 'em back and let 'em know how important it is 
To have Runion Avenue Soldiers up in our corners
Their loyalty to us is worth more than any award is 
But I ain't tryna have none of my people hurt and murdered 
It ain't worth it I can't think of a perfecter way to word it
Then to just say that I love ya'll too much to see the virdict 
I'll walk away from it all before I let it go any further 
But don't get it twisted, it's not a plea that I'm coppin' 
I'm just willin' to be the bigger man 
If ya'll can quit poppin' off at your jaws well then I can, 
Cuz frankly I'm sick of talkin' 
I'm not gonna let someone elses coffin rest on my conscience cuz 
 
 
[Chorus] 
E               B              C#m
Step by step, heart to heart, left right left 
   F#m       A     B         C#m
We all fall down   like toy soldiers 
E            B             C#m
Bit by bit, torn apart, we never win 
         F#m    A        B          C#m
but the battle wages on   for toy soldiers

Criminal
Tom: E
( Em, C#m, C, Em => durante a música toda)
[eminem]
A lot of people ask me.. stupid fuckin questions
A lot of people think that.. what I say on records
Or what I talk about on a record, that I actually do in real life
Or that I believe in it
Or if I say that, I wanna kill somebody, that..
I?m actually gonna do it
Or that I believe in it
Well, shit.. if you believe that
Then I?ll kill you
You know why? 
Cuz I?m a
Criminal
Criminal
You God damn right
I’m a criminal
Yeah, I’m a criminal
[eminem]
My words are like a dagger with a jagged edge
That’ll stab you in the head
Whether you’re a fag or lez
Or the homosex, hermaph or a trans-a-vest
Pants or dress - hate fags? the answer’s "yes"
Homophobic? 	nah, you’re just heterophobic
Starin at my jeans, watchin my genitals bulgin (ooh!)
That’s my motherfuckin balls, you’d better let go of em
They belong in my scrotum, you’ll never get hold of em
Hey, it’s me, versace
Whoops, somebody shot me!
And I was just checkin the mail
Get it?  checkin the ’male’? 
How many records you expectin to sell
After your second lp sends you directly to jail? 
C’mon!-- relax guy, I like gay men
Right, ken?  give me an amen (aaa-men!)
Please lord, this boy needs jesus
Heal this child, help us destroy these demons
Oh, and please send me a brand new car
And a prostitute while my wife’s sick in the hospital
Preacher preacher, fifth grade teacher
You can’t reach me, my mom can’t neither
You can’t teach me a goddamn thing cause
I watch tv, and comcast cable
And you ain’t able to stop these thoughts
You can’t stop me from toppin these charts
And you can’t stop me from droppin each march
With a brand new cd for these fuckin retards
Duhhh, and to think, it’s just little ol’ me
Mr. "don’t give a fuck," still won’t leave
Chorus: eminem (repeat 2x)
I’m a criminal
Cuz every time I write a rhyme, these people think it’s a crime
To tell em what’s on my mind - I guess I’m a criminal
But I don’t gotta say a word, I just flip em the bird
And keep goin, I don’t take shit from no one
[eminem]
My mother did drugs - tar, liquor, cigarettes, and speed
The baby came out - disfigured, ligaments indeed
It was a seed who would grow up just as crazy as she
Don’t dare make fun of that baby cause that baby was me
I’m a criminal - an animal caged who turned crazed
But how the fuck you sposed to grow up when you weren’t raised? 
So as I got older and I got a lot taller
My dick shrunk smaller, but my balls got larger
I drink malt liquor to fuck you up quicker
Than you’d wanna fuck me up for sayin the word ...
My morals went thhbbpp when the president got oral
Sex in his oval office on top of his desk
Off of his own employee
Now don’t ignore me, you won’t avoid me
You can’t miss me, I’m white, blonde-haired
And my nose is pointy
I’m the bad guy who makes fun of people that die
In plane crashes and laughs
As long as it ain’t happened to him
Slim shady, I’m as crazy as em
-inem and kim combined - *kch* the maniac’s in
Replacin the doctor cause dre couldn’t make it today
He’s a little under the weather, so I’m takin his place
(mm-mm-mmm!) oh, that’s dre with an ak to his face
Don’t make me kill him too and spray his brains all over the place
I told you dre, you should’ve kept that thang put away
I guess that’ll teach you not to let me play with it, eh? 
I’m a criminal
[interlude skit]
Aight look (uh huh) just go up in that motherfucker
Get the motherfuckin money and get the fuck up outta there
[em] aight
I’ll be right here waitin on you
[em] aight
Yo em
[em] what? !
Don’t kill nobody this time
[em] awwright... God damn, fuck...
(whistling) how you doin’? 
[teller] hi, how can I help you? 
[eminem] yeah I need to make a withdrawl
[teller] okay
[eminem] put the fuckin money in the bag bitch
And I won’t kill you!
[teller] what?  oh my god, don’t kill me
[eminem] I’m not gonna kill you bitch, quit lookin around...
[teller] don’t kill me, please don’t kill me...
[eminem] I said I’m not gonna fuckin kill you
Hurry the fuck up! {*boom*} thank you!
[eminem]
Windows tinted on my ride when I drive in it
So when I rob a bank, run out and just dive in it
So I’ll be disguised in it
And if anybody identifies the guy in it
I’ll hide for five minutes
Come back, shoot the eyewitness
Fire at the private eye hired to pry in my business
Die, bitches, bastards, brats, pets
This puppy’s lucky I didn’t blast his ass yet
If I ever gave a fuck, I’d shave my nuts
Tuck my dick inbetween my legs and cluck
You motherfuckin chickens ain’t brave enough
To say the stuff I say, so this tape is shut
Shit, half the shit I say, I just make it up
To make you mad so kiss my white naked ass
And if it’s not a rapper that I make it as
I’ma be a fuckin rapist in a jason mask
(chorus 2x)

 

My Dad's Gone Crazy
Tom: Em
( Em, C, B, Am => durante a música toda)
  
[Intro:]
[Tuning Tv]
[Eminem Snortin Crack]
[Tv Presenter:]
Hello boys and girls
Today we're gonna talk about father and daughter relationships
Do you have a daddy?
I'll bet you do
[Door opens]
who's your daddy? 
[Hailie:]
Daddy, what're you doing? 
[Beat starts]
[Eminem:]
Haha 
[Eminem & Hailie:]
Ok then! everybody, listen up! 
[Eminem:]
I'm goin to hell, who's comin' with me? 
[Hailie:]
Somebody, please help him!
[giggle]
i think my dad gone crazy! 
[Verse #1:]
There's no mountain i can't climb
There's no tower too high,
No plane that i can't learn how to fly
What do i gotta do to get through to you, to show you
There ain't nothing i can't take this chainsaw to
[Hailey Makes Chainsaw Sound]
Fuckin' brain's brawn, and brass balls
I cut 'em off, i got 'em pickled and bronzed in a glass jar
Inside of a hall, with my framed autograph,
Sunglasses with elton john's name, on my drag wall
I'm out the closet, i been lying my ass off
All this time, me and dre been fucking with hats off 
[Dr Dre:]
Suck it marshall 
[Eminem:]
So tell laura and her husband to back off
Before i push this motherfucking button and blast off
And launch one of these russians, and blast off
[Hailie Makes Explosion Sound]
Blow every fucking thing, except afghanistan on the map, off
when will it stop? when will I knock the crap off?
[Knocking]
Haley, tell 'em baby 
[Haley:]
My dad's lost it 
[Chorus:]
[Eminem:]
There's really nothin' else to say I, i can't explain it 
[Hailie:]
I think my dad gone crazy! 
[Eminem:]
A little help from hailie jade won't you tell em' baby
[Hailie:]
I think my dad gone crazy! 
[Eminem:]
Theres nothin' you could do or say that could ever change me
[Hailie:]
I think my dad gone crazy! 
[Eminem:]
There's no one on earth that can save me, not even halie 
[Hailie:]
I think my dad gone crazy! 
[Verse 2:]
It's like my mother always told me
[Eminem Impersinates His Mom]
Rana Rana Rana Rana Rana Rana Rana Rana Rana Rana,
and codeine and goddamit, you little motherfucker
If you aint got nothin' nice to say then don't say nothin'
uh..
Fuck that shit, bitch, eat a motherfuckin' dick
Chew on a prick, and lick a million motherfuckin' cocks per second
I'd rather put out a motherfucking gospel record
I'd rather be a pussy-whipped bitch, eat pussy
And have pussy-lips glued to my face with a clit-ring in my nose
Then quit bringin my flows, quit giving me my ammo
Can't you see why i'm so mean? if y'all leave me alone, this wouldn't be my
m.o.
I wouldn't have to go eenie meenie minie mo
Catch a homo by his toe, man i don't know no more
Am i the only fuckin one who's normal any more? 
[Hailey:]
Dad 
[Chorus]
[Verse #3:]
My songs can make you cry, take you by surprise
And at the same time, make you dry your eyes with the same rhyme
see what you're seeing is a genius at work
Which to me isn't work, so it's easy to misinterpret it at first,
Cuz when i speak, it's tongue in cheek
I'd yank my fuckin teeth before id ever bite my tongue
I'd slice my gums, get struck by fuckin' lightning twice at once
And die and come back as vanilla ice's son
And walk around the rest of my life spit on
And kicked and hit with shit, every time i sung
Like r kelly as soon as "bump n' grind" comes on
More pain inside of my brain, than the eyes of a little girl inside of a
plane
Aimed at the world trade, standin' on ronny's grave,
Screaming at the sky, till clouds gather as clyde mathers and bonnie jade
And thats pretty much the gist of it,Parents are pissed, but the kids love
it
Nine millimeter, heater stashed, in two-seaters with meat cleavers
I don't blame you, i wouldn't let hailie listen to me neither 
[Chorus]
[Outro:]
[Eminem:]
Crazy 
[Hailie:]
ha ha
You're funny daddy!

 

White America
Tom:  Ab
 
(Abx2, Gb, Db, Bbm => durante a música toda)
 
[Intro] 
America!! Hahaha! We love you! 
How many people are proud to be citizens of this beautiful country of ours? 
The stripes and the stars for the rights that men have died for to protect 
The women and men who have broke their necks for the freedom of speech 
the United States government has sworn to uphold.. 
(Yo, I want everybody to listen to the words of this song) .. or so we're told 
[Eminem] 
I never woulda dreamed in a million years I'd see 
so many motherfuckin people, who feel like me 
Who share the same views and the same exact beliefs 
It's like a fuckin ARMY marchin in back of me 
So many lives I touched, so much anger aimed 
in no particular direction, just sprays and sprays 
And straight through your radio waves, it plays and plays 
'til it stays stuck in your head, for days and days 
Who woulda thought; standin in this mirror bleachin my hair 
with some peroxide, reachin for a t-shirt to wear 
that I would catapult to the forefront of rap like this? 
How could I predict my words would have an impact like this? 
I must've struck a chord with somebody up in the office 
Cause Congress keep tellin me, I ain't causin nuthin but problems 
And now they're sayin I'm in trouble with the government - I'm lovin it! 
I shoveled shit all my life, and now I'm dumpin it on 
[Chorus 2X: Eminem] 
White America! I could be one of your kids 
White America! Little Eric looks just like this 
White America! Erica loves my shit 
I go to TRL; look how many hugs I get! 
[Eminem] 
Look at these eyes, baby blue, baby just like yourself 
If they were brown Shady lose, Shady sits on the shelf 
But Shady's cute, Shady knew Shady's dimples would help 
Make ladies swoon baby (ooh baby!) Look at my sales 
Let's do the math - if I was black, I woulda sold half 
I ain't have to graduate from Lincoln High School to know that 
But I could rap, so fuck school, I'm too cool to go back 
Gimme the mic, show me where the fuckin studio's at 
When I was underground, no one gave a fuck I was white 
No labels wanted to sign me, almost gave up I was like 
Fuck it - until I met Dre, the only one to look past 
Gave me a chance aand I lit a FIRE up under his ass 
Helped him get back to the top, every fan black that I got 
was probably his in exchange for every white fan that he's got 
Like damn; we just swapped - sittin back lookin at shit, wow 
I'm like my skin is it startin to work to my benefit now? It's.. 
[Chorus] 
[Eminem] 
See the problem is, I speak to suburban kids 
who otherwise woulda never knew these words exist 
Whose moms probably woulda never gave two squirts of piss 
'til I created so much motherfuckin turbulence! 
Straight out the tube, right into your living rooms I came 
And kids flipped, when they knew I was produced by Dre 
That's all it took, and they were instantly hooked right in 
And they connected with me too because I looked like them 
That's why they put my lyrics up under this microscope 
Searchin with a fine tooth comb, it's like this rope 
waitin to choke; tightenin around my throat 
Watchin me while I write this, like I don't like this (Nope!) 
All I hear is: lyrics, lyrics, constant controversy, sponsors working 
round the clock to try to stop my concerts early, surely 
Hip-Hop was never a problem in Harlem only in Boston 
After it bothered the fathers of daughters startin to blossom 
So now I'm catchin the flack from these activists when they raggin 
Actin like I'm the first rapper to smack a bitch or say faggot, shit! 
Just look at me like I'm your closest pal 
The posterchild, the motherfuckin spokesman now for.. 
[Chorus] 
[Outro] 
So to the parents of America 
I am the derringer aimed at little Erica to attack her character 
The ringleader of this circus of worthless pawns 
Sent to lead the march right up to the steps of Congress 
and piss on the lawns of the White House 
To burn the {flag} and replace it with a Parental Advisory sticker 
To spit liquor in the faces of this democracy of hypocrisy 
Fuck you Ms. Cheney! Fuck you Tipper Gore! 
Fuck you with the free-est of speech 
this Divided States of Embarassment will allow me to have 
Fuck you! 
{*Eminem harmonizes the beat*} 
I'm just kiddin America, you know I love you

Bm   (durante toda música)
[Dr. Dre] Marshall! Sounds like an S.O.S. 
[Mathers] Holy wack unlyrical lyrics Andre, you're fuckin right!! 
[Dr. Dre] To the Rapmobile - let's go! 
(Marshall! Marshall!) 
[Eminem] 
Bitches and gentlemen! It's SHOWTIME! 
Hurry hurry, step right up! 
Introducin the star of our show.. his name is.. 
(Marshall!) 
You wouldn't want to be anywhere else in the world right now 
So without further adieux, I bring to you 
(Marshall!) 
[Eminem] 
You bout to witness, hip-hop in its most purest 
more rawest form, flow almost flawless 
Most hardest, most honest known artist 
Chip off the old block, but oh Doc is BACK 
Looks like Batman brought his own Robin 
Oh God, Saddam's got his own Laden 
With his own private plane, his own pilot 
Set to blow college dorm rooms doors off the hinges 
oranges, peach, pears, plums, syringes 
(*chainsaw sound*} VROOM VROOM! Yeah, here I come 
I'm inches, away from you, dear fear none 
Hip-Hop is in a state of nine-one-one so.. 
[Chorus 2X: Eminem] 
Let's get down to business 
I don't got no time to play around, what is this? 
Must be a circus in town, let's shut the shit down 
on these clowns; can I get a witness? (HELL YEAH!) 
[Eminem] 
Quick gotta move fast, gotta perform miracles 
Gee wilikers Dre, "Holy bat syllables!" 
Look at all the bullshit that goes on in Gotham 
when I'm gone, time to get rid of these rap criminals 
So skip to your lou while I do what I do best 
You ain't even impressed no more; you're used to it 
Flows too wet, nobody close to it 
Nobody says it but still everybody knows the shit 
The most hated on out of all those who say they get hated on 
in eighty songs and exaggerate it all so much 
they make it all up, there's no such thing 
Like a female with good looks who cooks and cleans 
It just means so much more to so much more 
people when you're rappin and you know what for 
The show must go on; so I'd like to welcome y'all 
to Marshall and Andre's car-ni-val, c'mon! Now 
[Chorus] 
[Eminem] 
It's just like old times, the Dynamic Duo 
Two old friends, why panic? You already know 
who's fully capable, the two caped heroes 
Dial straight down the center, eight-zero-zero 
You can even call collect, the most feared duet 
since me and Elton, played career Russian Roulette 
And never even see me blink or get to bustin a sweat 
People steppin over people just to rush to the set 
just to get to see an MC who breathes so freely 
Ease over these beats and be so breezy 
Jesus how can shit be so easy? 
How can one Chandra be so Levy? 
Turn on these beats, MC's don't see me 
Believe me; BET and MTV 
are gonna grieve when we leave dog, fo' sheezy 
Can't leave rap alone, the game needs me 
'til we grow beards, get weird and disappear 
into the mountains - nothin but clowns down here 
But we, ain't fuckin around round here 
Yo Dre (whattup?) Can I get hell..? (HELL YEAH!) Now 
[Chorus] 
[Outro] 
So there you have it folks (Marshall!) has come to save the day 
Back with his friend Andre, here to remind you that bullshit does not pay 
Because (Marshall!) and Andre are here to stay 
and never go away, until our dying day 
Until we're old and grey (Marshall!) 
So until next time friends, same blonde hair, same rap channel 
Good night everyone, thank you for coming 
Your host for the evening (Marshall!) 
Oh! Heh

Verse #1 
Fm                     D#  
 These ideas are nightmares for white parents 
       C#               D#         
Whose worst fear is a child with dyed hair and who likes earrings 
Fm                  Gm  
Like whatever they say has no bearing 
     G#                         Bb   
Its so scary in a house that allows no swearing 
    Fm                              D#  
To see him walking around with his headphones blaring 
  C#                    D#
Alone in his own zone, cold in his own paries 
         Fm                            Gm
He's a problem child, what bothers him all comes out 
            G#                   Bb
When he talks about his fuckin' dad walkin out 
        Fm                     D#
Cos he hates him so bad that he blocks him out 
          C#                                D#
But if he ever saw him again, he'd prolly knock him out 
                   Fm                       Gm 
His thoughts are whacked, he's mad so he's talkin' back 
       G#                       Bb
Talkin black, brainwashed from rock and rap 
             Fm                   D#
He sags his pants, 2 rags and a stocking cap 
      C#                     D#   
His step-father hit him so he socked him back 
               Fm                     Gm 
And broke his nose, this house is a broken home 
               G#                      Bb
There's no control, he just lets his emotions go 
Come on... 
Chorus:

Verse #2 
 
Fm D# C# D#   Fm Gm G# Bb  (im Wechsel durch den Text siehe Verse 1)   
Entertainment is danger, intertwine it with gansters 
In the land of the killers, a sinner's mind is a sanctum 
Only you're unholy, only have one homey 
Only this gun, lonely, cuz you only need one homey 
But everybody just feels like they can relate 
I guess the world saw a motherfucker, they can be great 
Or they can be great, or even worse, they can teach hate 
Its like kids hang on every single statement we make 
Like they worship us, plus all the stores ship us platinum 
Now how the fuck did this metamorphasis happen? 
From standin' on corners and porches just rappin' 
To havin' a fortune, no more kissin' ass 
But then these critics crucify you, journalists try to burn you 
Fans turn on you, attorney's all gonna turn it to 
To get their hands on every dime you have 
They want you to lose your mind every time you mad 
So they can try to make you out to look like a loose canon 
You need to spew, dont hesitate to produce air-guns 
Thats why these prosecutors wanna convict me 
Swiftly just to get me offa these streets quickly 
But all their kids been listen'n to me religiously 
So i'm signing cds while police fingerprint me 
They're for the judges daughter, but his grudge is against me 
If i'm such a fuckin' menace, this shit doesnt make sense, Pete 
It's all political, if my music is literal and i'm a criminal, 
How the fuck can i raise a little girl? 
I couldn't. i wouldn't be fit to 
You're full of shit too, Guerrera, that was a fist that hit you! 
Chorus: 
Fm           D#      
Sing with me,  sing for the year

Verse #3  
 
Fm D# C# D#   Fm Gm G# Bb   (im Wechsel durch den Text siehe Verse 1)   
They say music can alter moods and talk to you 
But can it load a gun for you and cock it too? 
Well if it can, then the next time you assault a dude 
Just tell the judge it was my fault, and i'll get sued 
See what these kids do, is hear about us toting pistols 
And they want to get one, cos they think the shit's cool 
Not knowin' we're really just protectin' ourselves 
We're entertainers, of course this shit's affecting our sales 
You ignoramus. but music is reflection of self 
We just explain it, and then we get our cheques in the mail 
It's fucked up ain't it, how we can come from practically nothin' 
To bein' able to have any fuckin' thing that we wanted 
It's why we sing for these kids that don't have a thing 
Except for a dream and a fucking rap magazine 
Who post pinup pictures on their walls all day long 
Idolise their favourite rappers and know all they songs 
Or for anyone who's ever been through shit in they lives 
So they sit and they cry at night, wishing they die 
Till they throw on a rap record, and they sit and they vibe 
We're nothing to you, but we're the fuckin' shit in their eyes 
That's why we sieze the moment, and try to freeze it and own it 
Squeeze it and hold it, 'cos we consider these minutes golden 
And maybe they'll admit it when we're gone 
Just let our spirits live on, through out lyrics that you hear in our songs 
And we can

Time to show these free world leaders the three and a third 
I am no longer scared now, I'm free as a bird

Hit the verbs and all you see is a blur from 8 Mile Road

Only way that I know how to escape from this 8 Mile Road

I have no snare on my headphones 
Am Em/B       Am  Em/B         F   Em  Am   
  There You go        Yeah  Yo yo 
[Verse #1]  Am Em/B  Am Em/B   F  Em Am  (Akkordfolge durch die Verse)
   
Have you ever been hated, or discriminated against? 
I have, I've been protested and demostrated against 
Picket signs for my wickid rhymes, look at the times 
Sick as the mind of the mother fucking kid that's behind 
All this commotion, emotions run deep as oceans exploding 
Tempers flaring from parents just blow em off and keep going 
Not taking nothing from no one, give em hell long as I'm breathing 
Keep kicking ass in the morning, and taking names in the evening 
Leave 'em with a taste as sour as vineger in they mouth 
See they can trigger me, but they'll never figure me out 
Look at me now, I betcha prolly sick of me now 
Ain't you mama, I'ma make you look so ridiculous now 
[Chorus ]
           Am  Em/B
I'm sorry mama 
                  Am     Em/B
I never meant to hurt you
               F            
I never meant make you cry 
       Em                          Am
But tonight, I'm cleaning out my closet 
One More Time 
                  Am  Em/B
I said I'm sorry mama 
                  Am     Em/B
I never meant to hurt you 
               F
I never meant make you cry
       Em                          Am 
But tonight, I'm cleaning out my closet 
Ha! 
[Verse #2] Am Em/B  Am Em/B   F  Em Am  (Akkordfolge durch die Verse)
I got some skeletons in my closet 
And I dont know if no one knows it 
So before they throw me inside my coffin and close it 
I'ma expose it, I'll take you back to '73 
Before I ever had a multi-platinum selling CD 
I was a baby maybe I was just a couple of months 
My faggot father must've had his panties up in a bunch 
'Cause he split, I wonder if he even kissed me goodbye 
No I don't, on second thought I just fucking wished he would die 
I look at Hailie, and I couldn't picture leaving her side 
Even if I hated Kim, I grit my teeth and I try to make it work 
With her at least for Hailie's sake I maybe made some mistakes 
But I'm only human but I'm man enough to face them today 
What I did was stupid, no doubt it was dumb 
But the smartest shit I did was take the bullets outta that gun 
Cause I'd of killed em, shit I would've shot Kim and him both 
It's my life, I'd like to welcome ya'll to the Eminem show 
[Chorus ]
           Am  Em/B
I'm sorry mama 
                  Am     Em/B
I never meant to hurt you
               F            
I never meant make you cry 
       Em                          Am
But tonight, I'm cleaning out my closet 
One More Time 
                  Am  Em/B
I said I'm sorry mama 
                  Am     Em/B
I never meant to hurt you 
               F
I never meant make you cry
       Em                          Am 
But tonight, I'm cleaning out my closet 
Ha! 
[Verse #3] Am Em/B  Am Em/B   F  Em Am  (Akkordfolge durch die Verse)
Now I would never diss my own mama just to get recognition 
Take a second to listen for who you think this record is dissing 
But put yourself in my position, just try to invision 
Witnessing your mama popping prescription pills in the kitchen 
Bitching that someone's always going through her purse and shit's missing 
Going through public housing systems, victim of munchausen syndrome 
My whole life I was made to believe I was sick when I wasn't 
'Til I grew up, now I blew up it makes you sick to your stomach, doesn't it? 
Wasn't it the reason you made that CD for me, ma? 
So you could try to justify the way you treated me, ma? 
But guess what, your getting older now and it's cold when your lonely 
And Nathan's growing up so quick he's gonna know that your phoney 
And Hailie's getting so big now, you should see her, she's beautiful 
But you'll never see her, she won't even be at your funeral *hahaha*
See what hurts me the most, is you won't admit you was wrong 
Bitch, do your song, keep telling yourself that you was a mom 
But how dare you try to take what you didn't help me to get 
You selfish bitch, I hope you fucking burn in hell for this shit! 
Remember when Ronnie died and you said you wished it was me? 
Well guess what, I am dead, dead to you as can be 
[Chorus ]
           Am  Em/B
I'm sorry mama 
                  Am     Em/B
I never meant to hurt you
               F            
I never meant make you cry 
       Em                          Am
But tonight, I'm cleaning out my closet 
One More Time 
                  Am  Em/B
I said I'm sorry mama 
                  Am     Em/B
I never meant to hurt you 
               F
I never meant make you cry
       Em                          Am 
But tonight, I'm cleaning out my closet

[Intro 1 2X] 
Two trailer park girls go round the outside, 
Round the outside, round the outside..

[Verse 1] 
I created a monster, cuz nobody wants to 
See Marshall no more they want Shady 
I'm chopped liver 
Well if you want Shady, then this is what I'll give ya 
A little bit of weed mixed with some hard liquor 
Some vodka that will jumpstart my heart quicker 
Then a shock when I get shocked at the hospital 
By the Dr. when I'm not cooperating 
When I'm rocking the table while he's operating "Hey" 
You waited this long to stop debating 
Cuz I'm back, I'm on the rag and ovulating 
I know you got a job Ms. Cheney 
But your husband's heart problem is complicated 
So the FCC won't let me be 
Or let me be me so let me see 
They tried to shut me down on MTV 
But it feels so empty without me 
So come on and dip, bum on your lips, “Fuck That!” 
Cum on your lips and some on your tits 
And get ready cuz this is about to get heavy 
I just settled all my lawsuits, "Fuck you, Debbie !!" 
[Chorus 2X] 
Now this looks like a job for me 
So everybody just follow me 
Cuz we need a little controversy 
Cuz it feels so empty without me.. 
[Verse 2] 
Little hellions kids feeling rebellious 
Embarrassed, their parents still listen to Elvis 
They start feeling like prisoners helpless 
'Til someone comes along on a mission and yells "BITCH" 
A visionary, vision is scary, could start a revolution 
Pollutin' the air waves a rebel 
So let me just revel and bask 
In the fact that I got everyone kissing my ass 
And it's a disaster such a catastrophe 
For you to see so damn much of my ass you ask for me 
Well I'm back (batman sound) fix your bent antennae 
Tune it in and then I'm gonna enter 
Into the front of your skin like a splinter 
The center of attention back for the winter 
I'm interesting, the best thing since wrestling 
Infesting in your kids ears and nesting 
Testing "Attention Please" 
Feel the tension soon as someone mentions me 
Here's my 10 cents my 2 cents is free 
A nuisance, who sent, you sent for me.. 
[Chorus 2X] 
[Verse 3] 
A tisk-it a task-it, 
I go tit for tat with anybody who's talking this and that shit 
Chris Kirkpatrick, you can get your ass kicked 
Worse than them little Limp Bizkit bastards 
And Moby, you can get stomped by Obie 
You 36 year old bald headed fag blow me 
You don't know me, you're too old 
Let it go its over, nobody listens to techno 
Now lets go, just give me the signal 
I'll be there with a whole list full of new insults 
I've been dope, suspenseful with a pencil 
Ever since Prince turned himself into a symbol 
But sometimes man it just seems 
Everybody only wants to dis-cuss me 
So this must mean I'm dis-gusting 
But it's just me I'm just obscene 
Though I'm not the first king of controversy 
I am the worst thing since Elvis Presley 
To do Black Music so selfishly 
And use it to get myself wealthy 
"Hey" there's a concept that works 
20 million other white rappers emerge 
But no matter how many fish in the sea 
It will be so empty without me.. 
[Chorus 2X] 
(Hum dee dai la la Hum dei dei la la; la la la) 
(Hum dee dai la la Hum dei dei la la; la la la)
My Name Is
Tom: F

 

Chorus: repeat 2X
( F  G  Bb  Ab)
Hi!  My name is.. (what?)  My name is.. (who?)
My name is.. {scratches} Slim Shady
Hi!  My name is.. (huh?)  My name is.. (what?)
My name is.. {scratches} Slim Shady
Ahem.. excuse me!
Can I have the attention of the class 
for one second?
[Eminem]
Hi kids!  Do you like violence?  (Yeah yeah yeah!)
Wanna see me stick Nine Inch Nails through each one of my eyelids?  (Uh-huh!)
Wanna copy me and do exactly like I did?  (Yeah yeah!)
Try 'cid and get fucked up worse that my life is?  (Huh?)
My brain's dead weight, I'm tryin to get my head straight
but I can't figure out which Spice Girl I want to impregnate  (Ummmm..)
And Dr. Dre said, "Slim Shady you a basehead!"
Uh-uhhh!  "So why's your face red?  Man you wasted!"
Well since age twelve, I've felt like I'm someone else
Cause I hung my original self from the top bunk with a belt
Got pissed off and ripped Pamela Lee's tits off
And smacked her so hard I knocked her clothes backwards like Kris Kross
I smoke a fat pound of grass and fall on my ass
faster than a fat bitch who sat down too fast
C'mere slut!  (Shady, wait a minute, that's my girl dog!)
I don't give a fuck, God sent me to piss the world off!
Chorus
[Eminem]
My English teacher wanted to flunk me in junior high
Thanks a lot, next semester I'll be thirty-five
I smacked him in his face with an eraser, chased him with a stapler
and stapled his nuts to a stack of papers  (Owwwwwwww!)
Walked in the strip club, had my jacket zipped up
Flashed the bartender, then stuck my dick in the tip cup
Extraterrestrial, runnin over pedestrians
in a spaceship while they screamin at me: "LET'S JUST BE FRIENDS!"
Ninety-nine percent of my life I was lied to
I just found out my mom does more dope than I do  (Damn!)
I told her I'd grow up to be a famous rapper
Make a record about doin drugs and name it after her  (Oh thank you!)
You know you blew up when the women rush your stands
and try to touch your hands like some screamin Usher fans  (Aaahhhhhh!)
This guy at White Castle asked for my autograph
(Dude, can I get your autograph?)
So I signed it: 'Dear Dave, thanks for the support, ASSHOLE!'
Chorus
[Eminem]
Stop the tape!  This kid needs to be locked away!  (Get him!)
Dr. Dre, don't just stand there, OPERATE!
I'm not ready to leave, it's too scary to die  (Fuck that!)
I'll have to be carried inside the cemetery and buried alive
(Huh yup!)  Am I comin or goin?  I can barely decide
I just drank a fifth of vodka -- dare me to drive?  (Go ahead)
All my life I was very deprived
I ain't had a woman in years, and my palms are too hairy to hide
(Whoops!)  Clothes ripped like the Incredible Hulk  (hachhh-too)
I spit when I talk, I'll fuck anything that walks  (C'mere)
When I was little I used to get so hungry I would throw fits
HOW YOU GONNA BREAST FEED ME MOM?  (WAH!)
YOU AIN'T GOT NO TITS!  (WAHHH!)
I lay awake and strap myself in the bed 
Put a bulleproof vest on and shoot myself in the head  (BANG!)
I'm steamin mad  (Arrrggghhh!) 
And by the way when you see my dad?  (Yeah?)
Tell him that I slit his throat, in this dream I had
Chorus
The Way I Am
Tom: Am
(Am  Bdim  G#dim/B  G#dim/D  Am/C  Am  Am  Am/C  E/G#dim  Am)  
I sit back with this pack of Zig Zags and this bag
Of this weed, it gives me the s*** 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 s*** 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 o’ 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 eatin or feedin’ my daughter
To not come and speak to me
I don’t know you and, no, I don’t owe you a motherf***in’ thing
I’m not Mr. ‘NSync, 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 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 all you
I don’t mean to be mean but that’s all I can be is 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 f***, when you won’t just put up
With the bulls*** they pull ‘cause they full of s*** too
When a dude’s gettin 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 happenin’
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 burnin 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 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 poppy sensation
To cop me rotation at Rock & Roll stations
And I just do not got the patience
To deal with these cocky Caucasians who think
I’m some whigger who just tries to be black ‘cause I talk with an accent
And grab on my b***s, so they always keep askin’ the same f***in’ 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, 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 s*** in the bathroom without someone standin’ by it
No, I won’t sign your autograph
You can call me an a******, 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, 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

Dear Slim, I wrote you but you still ain't callin'
I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom
I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not have got 'em
It probably was a problem at the post office or somethin'
Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em
But anyways, fuck it, what's been up man, how's your daughter? 
My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm out to be a father
If I have a daughter, guess what I'm-a call her? I'm-a name her Bonnie
I read about your uncle Ronnie too, I'm sorry
I had a friend kill himself over some bitch who didn't want him
I know you probably hear this everyday, but I'm your biggest fan
I even got the underground shit that you did with Scam
I got a room full of your posters and your pictures, man
I like the shit you did with Ruckus too, that shit was fat
Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back, just to chat

Dear Slim, you still ain't called or wrote, I hope you have the chance
I ain't mad, I just think it's fucked up you don't answer fans
If you didn't want to talk to me outside the concert you didn't have to
But you could have signed an autograph for Matthew
That's my little brother, man. He's only six years old
We waited in the blistering cold for you for four hours and you just said no.
That's pretty shitty man, you're like his fuckin' idol
He wants to be just like you man, he likes you more than I do
I ain't that mad, though I just don't like bein' lied to
Remember when we met in Denver, you said if I write you you would write back
See, I'm just like you in a way, I never knew my father neither
He used to always cheat on my mom and beat her
I can relate to what you're sayin' in your songs
So when I have a shitty day, I drift away and put 'em on
Cause I don't really got shit else, so that shit helps when I'm depressed
I even got a tattoo with your name across the chest
Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds
It's like adrenaline. The pain is such a sudden rush for me
See, everything you say is real, and I respect you 'cause you tell it
My girlfriend's jealous 'cause I talk about you 24/7
But she don't know you like I know you, Slim... no one does
She don't know what it was like for people like us growing up
You've gotta call me man. I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose
Sincerely yours, Stan. PS: We should be together, too

Dear Mr. "I'm too good to call or write my fans"
This'll be the last package I ever send your ass
It's been six months and still no word. I don't deserve it
I know you got my last two letters, I wrote the addresses on 'em perfect
So this is my cassette I'm sending you. I hope you hear it
I'm in the car right now. I'm doing 90 on the freeway
Hey Slim, I drank a fifth of vodka, you dare me to drive? 
You know the song by Phil Collins in "The Air in The Night"?
About that guy who could have saved that other guy from drowning? 
But they didn't? Then Phil saw it all then at his show he found him? 
That's kinda how this is. You could have rescued me from drowning
Now it's too late. I'm on a thousand downers now... I'm drowsy
And all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call
I hope you know I ripped all o' your pictures off the wall
I love you Slim. We could have been together. Think about it
You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it
And when you dream, I hope you can't sleep and you scream about it
I hope your conscience eats at you and you can't breathe without me
See Slim, {screaming} shut up bitch, I'm trying to talk
Hey Slim, that's my girlfriend screaming in the trunk
But I didn't slit her throat; I just tied her up. See I ain't like you
Cause if she suffocates, she'll suffer more, and then she'll die, too
Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the bridge now
Oh shit, I forgot, how am I supposed to send this shit out?

G#m         Emaj7             F#         B       B/A#   G#m
The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all
G#m       Emaj7           F#                    B       B/A#  G#m
And even if I could, it'd all be gray, but your picture on my wall
   Emaj7                Emaj7/F          Emaj7
It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad
Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner, but I just been busy
You said your girlfriend's pregnant now, how far along is she? 
Look, I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that
And here's an autograph for your brother: I wrote it on your Starter cap
I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I must have missed you
Don't think I did that shit intentionally, just to diss you
But what's this shit you said about you like to cut your wrists, too? 
I say that shit just clownin' dawg, c'mon, how fucked up is you? 
You got some issues, Stan, I think you need some counselin'
To help your ass from bouncin' off the walls when you be down some
And what's this shit about us meant to be together? 
That type of shit'll make me not want us to meet each other
I really think you and your girlfriend need each other
Or maybe you just need to treat her better
I hope you get to read this letter, I just hope it reaches you in time
Before you hurt yourself, I think that you'll be doin' just fine
If you'd relax a little. I'm glad that I inspire you, but Stan
Why are you so mad? Try to understand that I do want you as a fan
I just don't want you to do some crazy shit
I seen this one shit on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick
Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge
And had his girlfriend in the trunk, and she was pregnant with his kid
And in the car they found a tape but it didn't say who it was to
Come to think about it... his name was S... it was you. Damn.
