Eminem - 'Without Me'

Obie Trice. Name No Gimmicks…

Two trailer park girls go round the outside, (Hey, yo this is Marshall on Radio 1)
round the outside, round the outside.
Two trailer park girls go round the outside,
round the outside, round the outside.

Guess who's back, back again
Shady's back, tell a friend
Guess who's back, guess who's back,
guess who's back. Guess who's back…

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 me 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 husbands 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
jump back jiggle a hip and wiggle a bit
and get ready cuz this is about to get heavy
I just settled all my lawsuits F*** you, Debbie!

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
(Repeat)

Little hellions kids feeling rebellious
embarrassed, their parents still listen to Elvis
they start feeling the 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 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?

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
(Repeat)

A tisk-it a task-it,
I go tit for tat with anybody who's talking this and that sh**
Chris Kirkpatrick, you can get you're ass kicked
worse than them little Limp Bizkit, ne ne ne
and Moby- you can get stomped by Obie,
you 36 year old bald headed boy
You don't know me, you're too old
let it go its over, nobody listens to techno
Now lets go, give me a signal
I will 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 just wants to discuss me
So this means I'm disgusting,
but its 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

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
(Repeat)

(Hum dei dei la la Hum dei dei la la…la la la)
(Hum dei dei la la Hum dei dei la la…la la la)

Kids!
