Mic check one-twoWho woulda knew?Who’da known?Fuck woulda thought?Motherfucker comes outAnd sells a couple of million recordsAnd these motherfuckers hit the ceiling
I don’t do black music, I don’t do white musicI make fight music for high school kidsI put lives at risk when I drive like thisI put wives at risk with a knife like thisShit, you probably think I’m in your tape deck nowI’m in the back seat of your truck, with duct tape stretched outDucked the fuck way down, waitin’ to straight jump outPut it over your mouth and grab you by the face, what now?Oh, you want me to watch my mouth, how?Take my fuckin’ eyeballs out and turn ’em around?Look, I’ll burn your fuckin’ house down, circle aroundAnd hit the hydrant, so you can’t put your burning furniture outI’m sorry, there must be a mix-upYou want me to fix up lyrics while the President gets his dick sucked?Fuck that, take drugs, rape slutsMake fun of gay clubs, men who wear make-upGet aware, wake up, get a sense of humorQuit tryin’ to censor music, this is for your kid’s amusementBut don’t blame me when lil’ Eric jumps off of the terraceYou shoulda been watchin’ himApparently you ain’t parents
‘Cause I never knew I, knew I would get this bigI never knew I, knew I’d effect this kidI never knew I’d, get him to slit his wristI never knew I’d, get him to hit this bitchI never knew I, knew I would get this bigI never knew I, knew I’d effect this kidI never knew I’d, get him to slit his wristI never knew I’d, get him to hit this bitch
So who’s bringin’ the guns in this country?I couldn’t sneak a plastic pellet gun through customs over in LondonAnd last week I’ve seen a Schwarzaneggar movie where he’s shootin’ all sorts of these motherfuckers with a uziI see these three little kids, up in the front rowScreamin’ “Go!” with their seventeen year-old uncleI’m like “Guidance, ain’t they got the same moms and dads’ who got mad when I asked if they liked violence?”And told me that my tape taught ’em to swearWhat about the make-up you allow your twelve year-old daughter to wear?So tell me that your son doesn’t know any cuss wordsWhen his bus driver’s screamin’ at him, fuckin’ him up worseAnd “fuck” was the first word I ever learnedUp in the third grade, flippin’ the gym teacher the birdSo read up, about how I used to get beat upPeed on, be on free lunch and change school every three monthsMy life’s like kinda what my wife’s likeFucked up after I beat her fuckin’ ass every night, IkeSo how much easier would life be if nineteen million motherfuckers grew to be just like me?
‘Cause I never knew I, knew I would get this bigI never knew I, knew I’d effect this kidI never knew I’d, get him to slit his wristI never knew I’d, get him to hit this bitchI never knew I, knew I would get this bigI never knew I, knew I’d effect this kidI never knew I’d, get him to slit his wristI never knew I’d, get him to hit this bitchI never knew I, knew I’d
Have a new house or a new carA couple years ago I was more poorer than you areI don’t got that bad of a mouth, do I?Fuck, shit, ass, bitch, cunt, shooby-de-doo-wopSkibbedy-be-bop, a-Christopher ReevesSonny Bono, skis horses and hittin’ some treesHow many retards’ll listen to meAnd run up in the school shootin’ when they’re pissed at a teach-erHer, him, is it you is it them?“Wasn’t me, Slim Shady said to do it again!”Damn! How much damage can you do with a pen?Man, I’m just as fucked up as you woulda beenIf you woulda been in my shoesWho woulda thoughtSlim Shady would be somethin’ that you woulda boughtThat woulda made you get a gun and shoot at a copI just said itI ain’t know if you’d do it or not
‘Cause I never knew I, knew I would get this bigI never knew I, knew I’d effect this kidI never knew I’d, get him to slit his wristI never knew I’d, get him to hit this bitchI never knew I, knew I would get this bigI never knew I, knew I’d effect this kidI never knew I’d, get him to slit his wristI never knew I’d, get him to hit this bitch
How the fuck was I supposed to know?
