Lyrics for I'm Back

That's why they call me Slim Shady (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, (I'm back) I'm back That's why they call me Slim Shady (I'm back) I'm back, I'm back That's why they call me Slim Shady (I'm back) I'm back, (I'm back) I'm back 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're safe in that cell, be thankful it's jail I used to be my mommy's little angel at 12 13 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 milk box 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 is right You think of my name now whenever you say, "Hi" Became a commodity because I'm W-H-I T-E 'cause MTV was so friendly to me Can't wait 'til Kim sees me Now, was 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 That's why they call me Slim Shady (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, (I'm back) I'm back That's why they call me Slim Shady (I'm back) I'm back, (I'm back) I'm back That's why they call me Slim Shady (Shady, I'm) I'm back, (I'm back) I'm back I take each individual degenerate's head and reach into it Just to see if he's influenced by me if he listens the music And if he feeds into this shit, he's an innocent victim And becomes a puppet on the string of my tennis shoe My name is Slim Shady I've been crazy way before radio didn't play me The sensational, "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 It's a sick world we live in these days "Slim, for Pete's sakes put down Christopher Reeve's legs!" 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 to get schizophrenic whose Eyes get so squinted I'm blind from smokin' '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 They call me Slim Shady (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, (I'm back) I'm back That's why they call me Slim Shady (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, (I'm back) I'm back I take seven k- from C-, stand 'em all in line Add an AK-47, a revolver, a .9 A Mack-11 and it oughta solve the problem of mine And that's a whole school of bullies shot up all at one time 'Cause I'm Shady, they call me as crazy As the world was over, this whole Y2K thing And by the way, N'Sync, why do they sing? Am I the only one who realizes that 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 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? I'm Slim Shady (I'm) I'm back, (I'm back) I'm back That's why they call me Slim Shady (I'm back) I'm back, I'm back That's why they call me Slim Shady (I'm back) I'm back, (I'm back) I'm back They call me Slim Shady (I'm back) I'm back, (I'm back) I'm back Guess who's back, back? Gue-gue-guess who's back? Hi mom! Guess who's back? Gue-guess who's back? D-12, guess who's back? Gue-gue-gue-gue, guess who's back? Dr. Dre, guess who's back? Back-back-back, back Slim Shady, 2001 I'm blew out from this blunt Fuck
