Whoa!
A get your hands in the air, and get to clappin 'em
And like, back and forth because ah
This is, what you thought it wasn't
It beez, the brothers representin' the Dirty Dozen
I be the F-R-O the double G
And check out the man he goes by the name of er

Slim Shady, brain dead like Jim Brady
I'm a M-eighty, you Little like that Kim lady
I'm buzzin', Dirty Dozen, naughty rotten rhymer
Cursin' at you players worse than Marty Schottenheimer
You wacker than the motherfucker you bit your style from
You ain't gonna sell two copies if you press a double album
Admit it, fuck it, while we comin' out in the open
I'm doin' acid, crack, smack, coke and smokin' dope then
My name is Marshall Mathers, I'm an alcoholic (Hi Marshall)
I have a disease and they don't know what to call it
Better hide your wallet cause I'm comin' up quick to strip your cash
Bought a ticket to your concert just to come and whip your ass
Bitch, I'm comin' out swingin', so fast it'll make your eyes spin
You gettin' knocked the fuck out like Mike Tyson
The Proof is in the puddin', just ask the Deshaun Holton
I'll slit your motherfuckin throat worse than Ron Goldman

[Chorus]
So when you see me on your block with two glocks
Screamin' "Fuck the world" like 2pac
I just don't give a fuck!
Talkin' that shit behind my back, dirty mackin'
Tellin' your boys that I'm on crack
I just don't give a fuck!
So put my tape back on the rack
Go run and tell your friends my shit is wack
I just don't give a fuck!
But see me on the street and duck
Cause you gon' get stuck, stoned, and snuffed
Cause I just don't give a fuck!

I'm Nicer than Pete, but I'm on a search to crush a milk bone
I'm Everlasting, I melt Vanilla Ice like silicone
I'm ill enough to just straight up dis you for no reason
I'm colder than snow season when it's twenty below freezin'
Flavor with no seasonin', this is the sneak preview
I'll dis your magazine and still won't get a weak review
I'll make your freak leave you, smell the Folgers crystals
This is a lyrical combat, gentlemen hold your pistols
But I form like Voltron and blast you with my shoulder missiles
Slim Shady, Eminem was the old initials (Bye-bye!)
Extortion, snortin', supportin' abortion
Pathological liar, blowin' shit out of proportion
The looniest, zaniest, spontaneous, sporadic
Impulsive thinker, compulsive drinker, addict
Half animal, half man
Dumpin' your dead body inside of a fuckin' trash can
With more holes than an Afghan

So when you see me on your block with two glocks
Screamin' "Fuck the world" like 2pac
I just don't give a fuck!
Talkin' that shit behind my back, dirty mackin'
Tellin' your boys that I'm on crack
I just don't give a fuck!
So put my tape back on the rack
Go run and tell your friends my shit is wack
I just don't give a fuck!
But see me on the street and duck
Cause you fittin' to get stuck, stoned, and snuffed
Cause I just don't give a fuck!

Somebody let me out this limousine (hey, let me out!)
I'm a caged demon, on stage screamin' like Rage Against the Machine
I'm convinced I'm a fiend, shootin' up while this record is spinnin'
Clinically brain dead, I don't need a second opinion
Fuck droppin' the jewel, I'm flippin' the sacred treasure
I'll bite your motherfuckin' style, just to make it fresher
I can't take the pressure, I'm sick of bitches
Sick of naggin' bosses bitchin' while I'm washin' dishes
In school I never said much, too busy havin' a headrush
Doin' too much rush had my face flushed like red blush
Then I went to Jim Beam, that's when my face grayed
Went to gym in eighth grade, raped the women's swim team
Don't take me for a joke I'm no comedian
Too many mental problems got me snortin' coke and smokin' weed again
I'm goin' up over the curb, drivin' on the median
Finally made it home, but I don't got the key to get in

So when you see me on your block with two glocks
Screamin' "Fuck the world" like 2pac
I just don't give a fuck!
Talkin' that shit behind my back, dirty mackin'
Tellin' your boys that I'm on crack
I just don't give a fuck!
So put my tape back on the rack
Go run and tell your friends my shit is wack
I just don't give a fuck!
But see me on the street and duck
Cause you fittin' to get stuck, stoned, and snuffed
Cause I just don't give a fuck!

Hey, fuck that!
Outsiders
Pace one
Young Zee

    General Comment:Ok so... The meaning of this song.

    Hmmm. Its crazy deep so its kind of hard to grasp the real weight behind the message he's trying to send here but I think he doesn't really give an F-U-C-K.

    I could be wrong though. Somebody should ask him.

    General Comment:good call on the Jim Brady line, I never caught that until now sur. viking

    some other references from the lyrics that may not be so obvious

    Marty Schottenheimer = NFL coach
    Deshaun Holton = Proof's (from D12) real name
    Ron Goldman = murdered along with Nicole Brown Simpson in the famous OJ trial

    the 4 lines:
    "I'm Nicer than Pete, but I'm on a Serch to crush a Miilkbone
    I'm Everlast-ing, I melt Vanilla Ice like silicone
    I'm ill enough to just straight up diss you for no reason
    I'm colder than snow season when it's twenty below freezin"

    are a play on words with the names of other white rappers, MC Search, Pete Nice and Milkbone as well as Everlast and Vanilla Ice. I also think the snow line is about that fast rapping white guy from Canada?? named Snow.

    General Comment:"Slim Shady, brain dead like Jim Brady"

    When I first listened to that I didn't get the reference. Then I looked it up and saw that Jim Brady was the White House press secretary under Ronald Reagan. He was nearly killed and was permanently disabled in an assassination attempt on Reagan in 1981. My reaction was "Jesus Christ, Eminem is fucking rude." But I guess that's pretty obvious. He just don't give a fuck.

    General Comment:Eminen's first official single. Basically the message hes trying to get across is the title. Hes telling us about his past time and mixing it with exadgeration. Followed by hilarious spurts of rhymes.

    "The looniest, zaniest, spontaneous, sporadic
    Impulsive thinker, compulsive drinker, addict
    Half animal, half man
    Dumpin your dead body inside of a fuckin trash can
    With more holes than an Afghan"

    LMAO. I always thought he was saying "with more holes than a napkin".

    General Comment:I used to love this song when I was in high school (album came out when I was in tenth grade). Since then Eminem has fallen out of favor with me big time. He sold out, he turned his back on one of the few great freestylers left (Royce 5'9) and helped start this whole 50 Cent G-Unit hip-pop BS.

    Anyway, just wanted to check if anyone knew the inspiration Marty Schottenheimer reference. I'm a Chargers fan, and I've never heard of Marty "cursing at" any of his players.

    General Comment:this is my favorite eminem song, i just love the production on it.

    i can't really be bothered putting in the effort to research all of the names he references in this track. can anyone sum them up?
    actually screw it, i'll look them up myself.
    but who's that Frogg guy at the start?

    General Comment:Well I think its funny how you can say he sucks. At least ackowledge the fact that hes a good artist. Any artist that can sell as much albums as he has deserves credit whether you like his music or not.

    Neways I like this song cause he says he doesn't give a shit about whatever the fuck it is. Sometimes the best thing to do is just say fuck it who cares and despite if you like him or not you know that everyone wishes they could do this sometimes but ends up acting like a child instead.
