ТЕКСТ ПЕСЕН

Lyrics [Jay-Z]

Motherf*ckas!

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 nothing, I made something' doing

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 afraid, 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, duck in' strings from frustrated youths stuck in they ways

Just read a magazine and f*cked up my day

How you rate music that thugs but nothing' 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 menace 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, sharing' his views and his merits

But there's a huge interference, they're saying' 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 motherfucking' 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 embarrassed

And I got nothin' to do but make you look stupid as parents

You fuckin do-goobers 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 afraid to say what's on my mind at any given time of day

Cuz I'm a renegade, never been afraid to talk about anything

(Anything,) anything, (anything)

Renegade!

[Jay-Z] Never been afraid to say what's on my mind at any given time of day

Cuz I'm a (renegade)

Never been afraid to holler about anything, (anything,) anything, (anything!)

[Jay-Z]

I had to hustle, my back to the wall, ashes knuckles

Pockets filled with allotter led, not a zed, gotta vent

Lotta innocent lives lost on the project bench

What's you hollering, gotta pay rent, bring dollars in

by the bodega, hiding' under my coat, feeling' braver

Do rag rapped in my waves uh, pockets full of hope

Do not step to me, I'm award, 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 something' home to quiet the stomach rumbling'

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, (ni*ga) 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 atheist

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 wrestling' pixie
