Lyrics [Jay-Z]
Motherfuckas!
Say that I`m foolish, I only talk about Jews
Do you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it
See I`m influenced by the ghetto you ruined
The same dude you gave nothin, I made somethin` doin
What I do through and through and, I give you the news
With a twist of just his ghetto point of view
The renegade, you been affrad, I penetrate pop culture
Bring em a lot closer to the block where they pop toasters
And they live with they moms, got drop roasters
From botch robberies, niggaz crotched over
Mommy`s knocked up cuz she wasn`t watched over
Knocked down by some clown, will child support knock
No he`s not around, now how that sound til you jot it down
I bring you through the ghetto without riding round
Hiding down, duckin` strings from frustrated youths stuck in they ways
Just read a magazine and fucked up my day
How you rate music that thugs but nothin` but relate to it
I helped them see they way through it, not you
Can`t step in my pants, can`t walk in my shoes
Bet everything you`re worth, you lose your tie and your shirt
[Eminem]
Since I`m in the position to talk to these kids and they listen
I ain`t no politician but I kick it wit em a minute
Cuz see they call me a mennace and if the shoe fits I wear it
But if it don`t then y`all will swallow the truth, grin and bear it
Now who`s the king of these rude ludicrous lucrative lyrics
Who could inherit the title with the youth and the spirits
Using his music to steer it, sharin` his views and his merits
But there`s a huge interference, they`re sayin` you shouldn`t hear it
Maybe it`s hatred I spew, maybe it`s food for the spirit
Maybe it`s beautiful music I made for you to just cherish
But I`m debated, disputed, hated, and viewed in America
As a motherfuckin` drug addict, like you didn`t experiment
That`s when you start to stare at who`s in the mirror
And see yourself as a kid again, and you get embarassed
And I got nothin` to do but make you look stupid as parents
You fuckin do-gooders too bad you couldn`t do good at marriage
And do you have any clue what I had to do to get here
I don`t think you do so stay tuned and keep your ears glued to the stereo
Cuz here we go, these *gibberish*, and I`m the sinister, Mr.
kiss my ass is just a...
[Chorus]
[Eminem] Renegade!
Never been affraid to say what`s on my mind at any given time of day
Cuz I`m a renegade, never been affraid to talk about anything,
(anything,) anything, (anything)
Renegade!
[Jay-Z] Never been affraid to say what`s on my mind at any given
time of day
Cuz I`m a (renegade),
Never been affraid to holler about anything, (anything,) anything,
(anything!)
[Jay-Z]
I had to hustle, my back to the wall, ashey knuckles
Pockets filled with allotta led, not a zed, gotta vent
Lotta innocent lives lost on the project bench
What`s you hollerin, gotta pay rent, bring dollars in
by the bodega, hidin` under my coat, feelin` braver
Dorag rapped in my waves uh, poeckets full of hope
Do not step to me, I`m akward, I box lefty
I offed him, my pops left me and often my momma wasn`t home
Could not stress to me, I wasn`t grown
Especially on nights I brought somethin` home to quiet the stomach rumblin`
My demeanor, 30 years my senior
My childhood didn`t mean much, only raisin` greener
Raisin` my fingers to critics, raisin` my hat to the sky
BIG I did it, ? before I die, (nigga) no lie
Just know I chose my own fate
I drove by the fork in the road and went straight
[Eminem]
See I`m a poet to some, a regular modern day Shakespeare
Jesus Christ, the king of these Latter-day Saints here
To shatter the picture in which of that as they paint me
As a martyr of hate, Satan, a scatter brain athiest
But that ain`t the case, see it`s a matter of taste
We as the people decide if Shady`s as bad as they say he is
Or is he the latter a gateway to escape
Media scapegoat, they could be madder today
See it`s as easy as cake, simple as whistlin` dixie
While I`m waivin` the pistol at 60 Christians against me
Go to war with the Mormans, take a bath with the Catholics
In holy water, no wonder they tried to hold me under longer
I`m a motherfuckin` spiteful, delightful eyeful
The new Ice Cube, muthafuckas hate to like you
What did I do, I`m just a kid from the gutter
Makin` his butter off these blood-suckers, cuz I`m a motherfuckin...
[Chorus]
