How many people are proud to be citizens of this beautiful country of ours?

The women and men who have broke their necks for the freedem of speech the United States Government has sworn to uphold

Yo, I want everyone to listen to the words (or so we're told) of this song
Verse #1
I never woulda dreamed in a million years id see
so many mutha fuckin people who feel like me
Who share the same views
And the same exact beliefs
Its like a fuckin army marchin in back of me
So many lives I've touched
So much anger aimed in no particular direction
Just sprays and sprays
Straight through your radio waves
It plays and plays
Til' it stays stuck in your head
For days and days
who woulda thought, standing in this mirror
Bleachin my hair with some Peroxide
Reaching for a T shirt to wear
That i would catipult to the fore-front of rap like this
How can i predict my words
would have an impact like this
I musta struck a chord wit somebody up in the office
Cuz congress keeps tellin me
I aint causin nothin' but problems
And now they sayin im in trouble with the government
Im lovin it
I shovelled shit all my life
And now im dumpin it on em.
I never woulda dreamed in a million years id see
so many mutha fuckin people who feel like me
Who share the same views
And the same exact beliefs
Its like a fuckin army marchin in back of me
So many lives I've touched
So much anger aimed in no particular direction
Just sprays and sprays
Straight through your radio waves
It plays and plays
Til' it stays stuck in your head
For days and days
who woulda thought, standing in this mirror
Bleachin my hair with some Peroxide

Cuz congress keeps tellin me
I aint causin nothin' but problems
And now they sayin im in trouble with the government

And now im dumpin it on em.

Verse #2
Look at these eyes baby blue baby just like yourself
If they were brown
Shady knew shady sits on the shelf
But Shadys cute
Shady knew Shady's dimples would help
Make ladies swoon baby
(ooo baby)
Look at myself!
Lets do the math
If i was black i woulda sold half
I aint have to graduate from Lincoln High School to know that
But i can rap so fuck school
Im too cool to go back
Gimme the mic
Show me where the fuckin studio's at
When i was underground
No one gave a fuck i was white
No labels wanted to sign me
Almost gave up, i was like "Fuck it"
Until i met Dre
The only one who looked past
Gave me a chance
And I lit a fire up under his ass
Helped him get back to the top
Every fan black that i got
Was probly his in exchange for every white fan that he's got
Like damn we just swapped
Sittin back look at this shit wow
Im like "Is my startin' to work to my benefit now?"
Look at these eyes baby blue baby just like yourself
If they were brown
Shady knew shady sits on the shelf
But Shadys cute
Shady knew Shady's dimples would help
Make ladies swoon baby
(ooo baby)
Look at myself!

Verse #3
See the problem is i speak to suburban kids
Who otherwise woulda never knew these words exist
Whos moms probly woulda never gave 2 squirts of piss
Till i created so much mutha fuckin turbulence
Straight out the tube right into ya livin rooms i came
And kids Flipped
When they knew I was produced by Dre
Thats all it took
And they were instantly hooked right in
And they connected wit me too cuz i looked like them
Thats why they put my lyrics up under this microscope
Searchin wit a fine toothed comb
Its like this rope waitin to choke
Tightenin around my throat
Watchin me while i write this like "I dont like this, NO!"
All i hear is
Sponsors workin round the clock
To try to stop my concerts early
Surely hip hop is never a problem in Harlem
only In Boston
After it bothered ya fathers
of daughters startin to blossom
Now im catchin the flack from these activists
When they raggin
Actin like im the 1st rapper to smack a bitch or say faggot
Shit
Just look at me like im ya closest pal
A poster child
the MOTHER FUCKIN' spokesman now!

Outro
So to the parents of America
I am the damager aimed at little Erica
To attack her character
The ring leader of the circus of worthless pawns
Sent to lead the march right up to the steps of Congress
And piss on the lawns of the White House
To burn the casket and replace it with a parental advisory sticker
To spit liquor in the faces of this democracy of hipocracy
Fuck you Ms Cheney
Fuck you Tipper Gore
Fuck you with the free-este of space this divided state of embarrasment will allow me to have
Fuck You
