I'm Back

[Chorus]

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 (I'm back)

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

[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're safe in that cell, be thankful it's jail

I used to be my mommy's little angel at 12

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

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

[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

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 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

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

[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

‘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 (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

They call me Slim Shady (I'm back)

I'm back (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*}​​
