The Way I Am - Live From Fuji Rock Festival, Japan / 2001 by Eminem
Lyrics & Translation
English
Japan, if you know the words, sing it with me
'Cause I am whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news, every day I am
Radio won't even play my jam
'Cause I am whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news, every day I am
Shit, I don't know, that's just the way I am (Japan!)
'Cause I am whatever you say I am (Yeah)
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news, every day I am
Radio won't even play my jam
'Cause I am whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news, every day I am
I don't know, that's just the way I am
I sit back with this pack of Zig-Zag's and this bag
Of this weed, it gives me the shit needed to be
The most meanest MC on this, on this Earth
And since birth I've been cursed with this curse to just curse
And just blurt this berserk and bizarre shit that works
And it sells and it helps in itself to relieve
All this tension, dispensin' these sentences
Gettin' this stress that's been eatin' me recently off
Of this chest and I rest again peacefully (Peacefully)
But at least have the decency in you
To leave me alone, when you freaks see me out
In the streets when I'm eatin' or feedin' my daughter
To not come and speak to me (Speak to me), I don't know you
And no, I don't owe you a motherfuckin' thing
I'm not Mr. N'Sync, I'm not what your friends think
I'm not Mr. Friendly, I can be a prick
If you tempt me, my tank is on empty (Is on empty)
No patience is in me and if you offend me
I'm liftin' you ten feet (Liftin' you ten feet) in the air
I don't care who was there and who saw me just jaw you
Go call you a lawyer, file you a lawsuit
I'll smile in the courtroom and buy you a wardrobe
I'm tired of all you (Of all you), I don't mean to be mean
But that's all I can be, it's just me
And I am whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news, every day I am
Radio won't even play my jam
'Cause I am whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news, every day I am
I don't know, that's just the way I am
Sometimes I just feel like my father, I hate to be bothered
With all of this nonsense, it's constant
And, "Oh, it's his lyrical content
The song 'Guilty Conscience' has gotten such rotten responses."
And all of this controversy circles me
And it seems like the media immediately
Points a finger at me (Finger at me)
So I point one back at 'em, but not the index or pinkie
Or the ring or the thumb, it's the one you put up
When you don't give a fuck, when you won't just put up
With the bullshit they pull, 'cause they full of shit too
When a dude's gettin' bullied and shoots up his school
And they blame it on Marilyn (On Marilyn) and the heroin
Where were the parents at? And look where it's at!
Middle America, now it's a tragedy
Now it's so sad to see, an upper-class city
Havin' this happenin' (This happenin') then attack
Eminem 'cause I rap this way (Rap this way) but I'm glad
'Cause they feed me the fuel that I need for the fire to burn
And it's burnin', and I have returned
And I am whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news, every day I am
Radio won't even play my jam
'Cause I am whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news, every day I am
I don't know, that's just the way I am
I'm so sick and tired of bein' admired
That I wish that I would just die or get fired
And dropped from my label, let's stop with the fables
I'm not gonna be able to top a "My Name Is"
And pigeon-holed into some poppy sensation
To cop me rotation at rock 'n' roll stations
And I just do not got the patience (Got the patience)
To deal with these cocky Caucasians
Who think I'm some wigger who just tries to be black 'cause I talk
With an accent and grab on my balls so they always
Keep askin' the same fuckin' questions (Fuckin' questions)
What school did I go to, what hood I grew up in
The why, the who, what, when, the where and the how
'Til I'm grabbin' my hair and I'm tearin' it out
'Cause they drivin' me crazy (Drivin' me crazy), I can't take it
I'm racin', I'm pacin', I stand and I sit
And I'm thankful for every fan that I get
But I can't take a shit in the bathroom without
Someone standin' by it! (Standin' by it) No, I won't sign your autograph
You can call me an asshole, I'm glad
'Cause I am whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news, every day I am
Radio won't even play my jam
'Cause I am whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news, every day I am
I don't know, that's just the way I am

The Way I Am - Live From Fuji Rock Festival, Japan / 2001 (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Japón, si saben las palabras, cántenla conmigo
Porque soy lo que ustedes dicen que soy
Si no lo fuera, ¿entonces por qué diría que lo soy?
En el periódico, las noticias, todos los días lo soy
La radio ni siquiera pondrá mi canción
Porque soy lo que ustedes dicen que soy
Si no lo fuera, ¿entonces por qué diría que lo soy?
En el periódico, las noticias, todos los días lo soy
Mierda, no sé, así soy yo (¡Japón!)
Porque soy lo que ustedes dicen que soy (Sí)
Si no lo fuera, ¿entonces por qué diría que lo soy?
En el periódico, las noticias, todos los días lo soy
La radio ni siquiera pondrá mi canción
Porque soy lo que ustedes dicen que soy
Si no lo fuera, ¿entonces por qué diría que lo soy?
En el periódico, las noticias, todos los días lo soy
No sé, así soy yo
Me siento con este paquete de Zig-Zag's y esta bolsa
De esta hierba, me da la mierda necesaria para ser
El MC más malvado en esta, en esta Tierra
Y desde que nací he sido maldecido con esta maldición de solo maldecir
Y simplemente soltar esta mierda alocada y bizarra que funciona
Y se vende y ayuda en sí misma a aliviar
Toda esta tensión, soltando estas frases
Quitándome este estrés que me ha estado carcomiendo recientemente
De este pecho y descanso de nuevo en paz (En paz)
Pero al menos ten la decencia en ti
De dejarme en paz, cuando ustedes, raros, me vean
En las calles cuando estoy comiendo o alimentando a mi hija
De no venir a hablarme (Hablarme), no los conozco
Y no, no les debo una puta cosa
No soy el Sr. N'Sync, no soy lo que tus amigos piensan
No soy el Sr. Amigable, puedo ser un cabrón
Si me tientas, mi tanque está vacío (Está vacío)
No hay paciencia en mí y si me ofendes
Te levanto diez pies (Te levanto diez pies) en el aire
No me importa quién estaba allí y quién me vio golpearte
Ve a llamar a un abogado, preséntate una demanda
Sonreiré en la corte y te compraré un guardarropa
Estoy cansado de todos ustedes (De todos ustedes), no quiero ser malo
Pero es todo lo que puedo ser, solo soy yo
Y soy lo que ustedes dicen que soy
Si no lo fuera, ¿entonces por qué diría que lo soy?
En el periódico, las noticias, todos los días lo soy
La radio ni siquiera pondrá mi canción
Porque soy lo que ustedes dicen que soy
Si no lo fuera, ¿entonces por qué diría que lo soy?
En el periódico, las noticias, todos los días lo soy
No sé, así soy yo
A veces me siento como mi padre, odio que me molesten
Con toda esta tontería, es constante
Y, "Oh, es su contenido lírico
La canción 'Guilty Conscience' ha recibido respuestas tan podridas."
Y toda esta controversia me rodea
Y parece que los medios inmediatamente
Me señalan con el dedo (Me señalan con el dedo)
Así que les devuelvo uno, pero no el índice o el meñique
O el anular o el pulgar, es el que levantas
Cuando te importa una mierda, cuando no vas a aguantar
La mierda que hacen, porque ellos también están llenos de mierda
Cuando un tipo es acosado y dispara en su escuela
Y culpan a Marilyn (A Marilyn) y a la heroína
¿Dónde estaban los padres? ¡Y mira dónde está!
América profunda, ahora es una tragedia
Ahora es tan triste ver, una ciudad de clase alta
Teniendo esto sucediendo (Esto sucediendo) y luego atacan
A Eminem porque rapeo así (Rapeo así) pero me alegro
Porque me dan el combustible que necesito para que el fuego arda
Y está ardiendo, y he regresado
Y soy lo que ustedes dicen que soy
Si no lo fuera, ¿entonces por qué diría que lo soy?
En el periódico, las noticias, todos los días lo soy
La radio ni siquiera pondrá mi canción
Porque soy lo que ustedes dicen que soy
Si no lo fuera, ¿entonces por qué diría que lo soy?
En el periódico, las noticias, todos los días lo soy
No sé, así soy yo
Estoy tan harto y cansado de ser admirado
Que desearía simplemente morir o ser despedido
Y que me echen de mi sello, dejemos las fábulas
No voy a poder superar un "My Name Is"
Y encasillado en alguna sensación pop
Para conseguir rotación en estaciones de rock 'n' roll
Y simplemente no tengo la paciencia (Tengo la paciencia)
Para lidiar con estos caucásicos engreídos
Que piensan que soy un "wigger" que solo intenta ser negro porque hablo
Con acento y me agarro los huevos así que siempre
Siguen haciendo las mismas putas preguntas (Putas preguntas)
A qué escuela fui, en qué barrio crecí
El por qué, el quién, qué, cuándo, el dónde y el cómo
Hasta que me agarro el pelo y me lo arranco
Porque me están volviendo loco (Volviendo loco), no lo soporto
Estoy corriendo, estoy paseando, me paro y me siento
Y estoy agradecido por cada fan que tengo
Pero no puedo cagar en el baño sin
¡Alguien parado al lado! (Parado al lado) No, no firmaré tu autógrafo
Puedes llamarme un imbécil, me alegro
Porque soy lo que ustedes dicen que soy
Si no lo fuera, ¿entonces por qué diría que lo soy?
En el periódico, las noticias, todos los días lo soy
La radio ni siquiera pondrá mi canción
Porque soy lo que ustedes dicen que soy
Si no lo fuera, ¿entonces por qué diría que lo soy?
En el periódico, las noticias, todos los días lo soy
No sé, así soy yo
