Look, I was gonna go easy on you not to hurt your feelings
But I′m only going to get this one chance (six minutes-, six minutes-)
Something's wrong, I can feel it (six minutes, Slim Shady, you′re on!)
Just a feeling I've got, like something's about to happen, but I don′t know what
If that means what I think it means, we′re in trouble, big trouble
And if he is as bananas as you say, I'm not taking any chances
You are just what the doc ordered

But for me to rap like a computer, it must be in my genes
I got a laptop in my back pocket
My pen′ll go off when I half-cock it
Got a fat knot from that rap profit
Made a livin' and a killin′ off it
Ever since Bill Clinton was still in office
With Monica Lewinsky feelin' on his nutsack
I'm an MC still as honest
But as rude and as indecent as all hell
Syllables, skill-a-holic (kill ′em all with)

You don′t really wanna get into a pissin' match

Backpack rap crap, yap-yap, yackety-yack
And at the exact same time, I attempt these lyrical acrobat stunts while I′m practicin' that
I′ll still be able to break a motherfuckin' table
Over the back of a couple of faggots and crack it in half

Well, to be truthful the blueprint's
Simply rage and youthful exuberance
Everybody loves to root for a nuisance

Now I lead a new school full of students

So I crunch rhymes, but sometimes when you combine
Appeal with the skin color of mine
You get too big and here they come tryin′
To censor you like that one line

See if I get away with it now that I ain't as big as I was, but I′m
