Lyrics
mmm hmmm. ok. this is... Absent Minded... and ya know what? I'm gonna give you at what you wanna hear. Why i sound like what i sound like...
Verse 1
growin up.... i never even listened to rap
i just wrote poems, played guitar dismissin the fact
they played just rap on the radio, just main streem crap
the same thing played, so bad itd make me laugh
til one day me and this kid, were gettin blazed in his room
he popped in this one cd ... to play me some tunes
he said, this is a cool rap song, its all about shrooms
he said rap, i thought crap.. thats all i assumed
was about a girl cryin, then dyin, after tryin
some mushrooms... and i was all high, so i decided
to buy the cd the next time i went by sunrise
records, i liked rap, for the first time
in my life... so id get blazed and listen
to eminem makin fun of people and all the ways he dissed them
his rhymes were crazy.... so much better than any body
id ever heard. plus i wrote rock lyrics, and compared to his
mine were barelly shit...and since im competitive
thats when i set it in my head, to rhyme better than him
i barelly listened to any other type of shit ever again
so my rap career, thats when it begins...
Chorus
id like to make a tribute to you in this song
when i was in a storm, you made everything calm
made everything right that i thought was wrong
showed me the right path that i should go on
Verse 2
i never grew up with rap, none of my friends listened to that
my mom and dad hate it... they say the shits crap
i used to be in a band.. i wanted to sing in it
but the band was goin no where, i didnt wanna sink wit it
so i did some thinkin and.... i kept writin songs
until i realized... man what the fucks goin on
its so easy to write shit that these pop stars write
but they rich, and some dont even make there own rhymes
rappins a challenge....its an accurate tallent
even if we do rap about drugs, sex and violence
people think its causin shit with its noise and loudness
while the unsuspected killers sneak around in the silence
writin these raps that could be rated R
helped me take away my frustration instead of hatin god
for makin all these problems, and breakin walls
and screamin at my parents all day,
so i gotta thank ya shady, ya tought me how to put my pain to paper
to deal with the life i didnt pick, i gotta stick with it
so now when i, get mad about some shit
i know i can put to paper and make a sick track out of it
Verse 3
i mixed writin rock songs, with writin raps
thats why ya hear songs where im singin on the tracks
and sometimes, if you can sing and hit the right notes
it just makes ya feel so good...
takes you away from all the shit you gotta deal with
musics like the wind.. ya cant see it, but you can feel it
its real shit... that molds around emotion you have
ya know hwen you laugh? you know that emotion you have?
it feels great dont.....and now adays
rappin is the only thing that still makes me feel that way
and i hate it, cause every problem i have
the only way i flush it away, is knowin ill blow up from rap
so thats why im so dedicated...
cause i know ill probly just kill myself if i never make it
so instead of thankin any one for shit
im thankin marshal mathers for directin me toward this
