I'm Back
Eminem/Eminem/Eminem Lyrics

That's why they call me Slim Shady (I'm back)
I am known as Slim Shady because I have returned

I'm back (I'm back) (Slim Shady!) I'm back
I have returned as Slim Shady

I murder a rhyme one word at a time
I destroy rap lyrics with precision and skill

You never heard of a mind as perverted as mine
You have never encountered someone with such twisted thoughts as me

You better get rid of that nine it ain't gonna help
You should discard your weapon because it won't be effective against me

What good is it gonna do against a man that strangles himself?
How can a weapon be useful against someone who inflicts harm on themselves?

I'm waitin' for hell like hell shit I'm anxious as hell
I am eagerly anticipating chaos and destruction

Manson you're safe in that cell, be thankful it's jail
Even Charles Manson should be grateful he is imprisoned and not facing me

I used to be my mommy's little angel at twelve
In my early years, I portrayed an innocent image

Thirteen I was putting shells in a gauge on a shelf
By the age of thirteen, I had begun stockpiling ammunition

I used to, get punked and bullied on my block
I used to be a victim of harassment and intimidation in my neighborhood

'Til I cut a kitten's head off and stuck it in this kid's mailbox (Mom! Mom!)
But I took revenge by gruesomely killing a kitten and tormenting my tormentor

I used to give a, fuck, now I could give a fuck less
I used to care, but now I am indifferent and apathetic

What do I think of success? It sucks, too much press I'm stressed
I find success overwhelming and stressful because of heightened media attention

Too much stares two breasts, too upset
The attention and scrutiny from others is bothersome and irritating

It's just too much mess, I guess I must just blew up quick (yes)
The whole situation has become chaotic and overwhelming, perhaps I became famous too rapidly

Grew up quick (no) was raised right
I matured quickly, but my upbringing was not ideal

Whatever you say is wrong, whatever I say is right
I always believe I am right, regardless of differing opinions

You think of my name now whenever you say, 'Hi'
My name has become synonymous with fame, and people associate me with it

Became a commodity because I'm W-H-I-T-E
I became a marketable figure in the music industry due to my race

'Cause M-T-V was so friendly to me
MTV played a significant role in promoting my career

Can't wait 'til Kim sees me
I am anticipating the reaction of my ex-wife, Kim, when she sees my success

Now is it worth it? Look at my life, how is it perfect?
Is all of this fame and success really worth it? My life is far from perfect

Read my lips bitch, what, my mouth isn't working?
Listen closely, my words have impact even if my mouth appears non-functional

You hear this finger? Oh it's upside down
Do you see this gesture? It symbolizes defiance and rebellion

Here, let me turn this motherfucker up right now
Allow me to escalate the situation and make it even more intense

I take each individual degenerates head and reach into it
I delve into the minds of individuals considered deviant

Just to see if he's influenced by me if he listens to music
To determine if my music has impacted and influenced them

And if he feeds into this shit he's an innocent victim
If he embraces and accepts my controversial lyrics, he becomes a victim of his own innocence

And becomes a puppet on the string of my tennis shoe
He is controlled and manipulated by my influence, just like a puppet on a string

My name is Slim Shady
I am known as Slim Shady

I been crazy way before radio didn't play me
I have always been mentally unstable, even before radio stations refused to play my music

The sensational {Back is the incredible!}
I am a highly controversial and mesmerizing figure

With Ken Kaniff, who just finds the men edible
I am associated with the character Ken Kaniff, who has a perverse appetite for men

It's Ken Kaniff on the, internet
Ken Kaniff is known for his presence on the internet

Trying to, lure your kids with him, into bed
He attempts to entice unsuspecting children into inappropriate situations

It's a, sick world we live in these days
We exist in a twisted and distorted society

'Slim for Pete's sakes put down Christopher Reeve's legs!'
Stop making offensive remarks, such as mocking Christopher Reeve's disability

Geez, you guys are so sensitive
You are all overly sensitive and easily offended

'Slim it's a touchy subject, try and just don't mention it'
You are advised to avoid discussing sensitive topics

Mind with no sense in it, fried to get so frenetic
My mind lacks rationality and is filled with chaos and frenzy

Whose eyes get so squinted, I'm blind from smokin' 'em
My eyes narrow as a result of excessive drug use, to the point of impaired vision

With my windows tinted, with nine limos rented
I ride in heavily tinted windows, accompanied by multiple luxurious vehicles

Doin' lines of coke in 'em, with a bunch of guys hoppin' out all high and indo-scented
We indulge in cocaine while traveling, and my entourage is intoxicated and reeking of marijuana

And that's where I get my name from, that's why they call me
My reputation is derived from these outrageous behaviors, which is why I am known as Slim Shady

I take seven kids from Columbine, stand 'em all in line
I am referencing the infamous Columbine High School massacre, suggesting I would pursue such violent acts

Add an AK-47, a revolver, a nine
I further emphasize the violent nature of the scenario by mentioning specific firearms

A Mack-11 and it oughta solve the problem of mine
My intention is to use these weapons to solve my personal issues

And that's a whole school of bullies shot up all at one time
In one act of violence, I would eliminate a group of bullies from a school

Cause (I'm) Shady, they call me as crazy
People refer to me as Shady because I am known for being mentally unstable

As the world was over this whole Y2K thing
During the time of the Y2K scare, the world was not as concerned with my insanity

And by the way, N'Sync, why do they sing?
I question the musical abilities of the boy band N'Sync

Am I the only one who realizes they stink?
I am the only one who recognizes and openly admits their lack of talent

Should I dye my hair pink and care what y'all think?
Am I expected to change my appearance and care about public opinion?

Lip sync and buy a bigger size of earrings?
Should I resort to lip-syncing and wearing flashy jewelry to please others?

It's why I tend to block out when I hear things
I choose to ignore and disregard negative comments and criticisms

Cause all these fans screamin' is makin' my ears ring
The overwhelming support from fans is causing my ears to ring

So I just, throw up a middle finger and let it linger
In response, I defiantly raise my middle finger and let the gesture persist

Longer than the rumor that I was stickin' it to Christina
The middle finger remains elevated for a longer duration than the false rumor of my involvement with Christina Aguilera

Cause if I ever stuck it to any singer in showbiz
If I were to engage in a sexual encounter with a singer in the entertainment industry

It'd be Jennifer Lopez, and Puffy you know this!
I would choose Jennifer Lopez as my partner, and Sean Combs (Puff Daddy) is aware of this

I'm sorry Puff, but I don't give a fuck if this chick was my own mother
I am unapologetic to Puff Daddy, as I would not care if this woman was my own mother

I still fuck her with no rubber and cum inside her
I would engage in sexual intercourse without protection and ejaculate inside her

And have a son and a new brother at the same time
As a result, I would father a child and also gain a new sibling simultaneously

And just say that it ain't mine, what's my name?
I would deny paternity and claim that the child is not mine, leaving the question of my true identity

Guess who's b, back, back
Guess who has returned

Gue' gue' guess who's back (Hi mom!)
Guess who is back, it's me, Slim Shady, greeting my mother

Guess who's back
Guess who has returned

Gue' guess who's back
Guess who is back

D-12, Guess who's back
The rap group D-12 announces that I have returned

Gue' gue' gue' gue' guess who's back
Guess who is back

Dr. Dre, Guess who's back
Dr. Dre also confirms my return

Back back, back
I have returned once again

Slim Shady, 2001
I am Slim Shady, and it is the year 2001

I'm blew out from this blunt, fuck
I am heavily intoxicated from smoking marijuana
