I’m Back

[Chorus]

That's why they call me Slim Shady (I'm back)

I'm back (I'm back), I'm back (Slim Shady!)

That's why they call me Slim Shady (I'm back)

I'm back (I'm back), I'm back (Slim Shady!)

That's why they call me Slim Shady (I'm back)

I'm back (I'm back), I'm back (Slim Shady!)

That's why they call me Slim Shady (I'm back)

I'm back (I'm back), I'm back (Slim Shady-Shady!)

[Verse 1]

I murder a rhyme, one word at a time

You never heard of a mind as perverted as mine

You better get rid of that .9, it ain't gonna help

What good's it gonna do against a man that strangles himself?

I'm waitin' for Hell, like Hell, shit, I'm anxious as Hell

Manson, you safe in that cell, be thankful it's jail

I used to be my mommy's little angel at twelve

Thirteen, I was puttin' shells in a gauge on a shelf

I used to get punked and bullied on my block

'Til I cut a kitten's head off and stuck it in this kid's mailbox (Hey Ma', Ma'!)

I used to give a fuck, now I could give a fuck less

What do I think of success? It sucks, too much press

I'm stressed, too much cess, depressed, too upset

It's just too much mess, I guess I must just blew up quick (Yes)

Grew up quick (No), was raised right

Whatever you say is wrong, whatever I say's right

You think of my name now whenever you say, "Hi"

Became a commodity 'cause I'm W-H-I-

T-E, 'cause MTV was so friendly to me

Can't wait 'til Kim sees me

Now, is it worth it? Look at my life, how is it perfect?

Read my lips, bitch! What, my mouth isn't workin'?

You hear this finger? Oh, it's upside down

Here, let me turn this motherfucker up right now

[Chorus]

That's why they call me Slim Shady (I'm back)

I'm back (I'm back), I'm back (Slim Shady!)

That's why they call me Slim Shady (I'm back)

I'm back (I'm back), I'm back (Slim Shady!)

That's why they call me Slim Shady (I'm back)

I'm back (I'm back), I'm back (Slim Shady!)

That's why they call me Slim Shady (Shady!)

I'm back (I'm back), I'm back (Slim Shady!)

[Verse 2]

I take each individual degenerate's head and reach into it

Just to see if he's influenced by me if he listens to music

And if he feeds into this shit, he's an innocent victim

And becomes a puppet on the string of my tennis shoe

(*Scratches*) My name is Slim Shady

I been crazy way before radio didn't play me

The sensational (*scratch*), "Back is the incredible!"

With Ken Kaniff, who just finds the men edible

It's Ken Kaniff on the Internet

Tryin' to lure your kids with him into bed (Uh)

It's a sick world we live in these days

"Slim, for Pete's sakes, put down Christopher Reeve's legs!" ("Oh, oh, oh, oh!")

Geez, you guys are so sensitive

"Slim, it's a touchy subject, try and just don't mention it"

Mind with no sense in it, fried schizophrenic whose eyes get so squinted

I'm blind from smoke in 'em with my windows tinted

With nine limos rented, doin' lines of coke in 'em

With a bunch of guys hoppin' out, all high and indo-scented

And that's where I get my name from, that's why they call me—

[Chorus]

They call me Slim Shady (I'm back)

I'm back (I'm back), I'm back (Slim Shady!)

That's why they call me Slim Shady (I'm back)

I'm back (I'm back), I'm back (Slim Shady!)

That's why they call me Slim Shady (I'm back)

I'm back (I'm back), I'm back (Slim Shady!)

That's why they call me Slim Shady (I'm back)

I'm back (I'm back), I'm back (Back) (Slim Shady!)

[Verse 3]

I take seven {kids} from {Columbine}, stand 'em all in line

Add an AK-47, a revolver, a .9

A MAC-11 and it oughta solve the problem of mine

And that's a whole school of bullies shot up all at one time (Ahh! Ahh! Ahh!)

'Cause I'm Shady, they call me as crazy

As the world was over this whole Y2K thing

And by the way, NSYNC, why do they sing?

Am I the only one who realizes they stink?

Should I dye my hair pink and care what y'all think

Lip-sync and buy a bigger size of earrings?

It's why I tend to block out when I hear things

'Cause all these fans screamin' is makin' my ears ring (Ahh!)

So I just throw up a middle finger and let it linger

Longer than the rumor that I was stickin' it to Christina

'Cause if I ever stuck it to any singer in showbiz

It'd be Jennifer Lopez and Puffy, you know this

I'm sorry, Puff, but I don't give a fuck

If this chick was my own mother, I'd still fuck her with no rubber

And cum inside her and have a son and a new brother

At the same time and just say that it ain't mine, what's my name?

[Chorus]

I'm Slim Shady (*scratch*- Slim, I'm back)

I'm back (I'm back), I'm back

That's why they call me Slim Shady (I'm back)

I'm back (*scratch*- I'm back), I'm back (I'm- *scratch*- I'm back)  (Slim Shady!)

That's why they call me Slim Shady (*scratches* Slim, I'm back)

I'm back (I'm back), I'm back

They call me Slim Shady (I'm back)

I'm back (*scratch* I'm back), I'm back

[Outro]

Guess who's b-back, back

Gue-gue-guess who's back (Hi, Mom!)

{​​*scratch*}​​ Guess who's back

{​​*scratch*}​​ Gue— {​​*scratch*}​​ guess who's back

D-12 {​​*scratch*}​​ guess who's back

Gue, gue-gue-gue, guess who's back

Dr. Dre {​​*scratch*}​​ guess who's back

Back back {​​*scratch*}​​ back {​​*scratch*}​​

Slim Shady, 2001

I'm blew out from this blunt (*sighs*) fuck
