Dear Slim, I thought you might've heard of me maybe
Cause lately, everywhere I turn, someone's comparing us, crazy
I never would've thought when I was bumping Biggie and 'Pac
That I would buy bleach in a box and become the product of Shady, but I'm here now
Dear Slim, I thought you might've heard of me maybe
Cause lately, everywhere I turn, someone's comparing us, crazy
I never would've thought when I was bumping Biggie and 'Pac
That I would buy bleach in a box and become the product of Shady, but I'm here now
Hi, my name is Tom MacDonald, people call me controversial
I'm the one that counterculture follows
Every song I drop's a problem, I offend an awful lot with topics
Commenting on race and politics, I'm pretty awesome
Dear Slim, I know we're very different politically
Seems like some of your biggest fans are the victims I'm triggering
They're convinced I don't like you which ain't consistent with history
I was picked on as a kid, and they don't know what Slim did for me
But I'm here now, and I fight this system just like you
Was addicted to pills and liquor and quit 'em just like you
People claim that you hate me, but Marshall, that can't be right, dude
You'd have to hate yourself as well 'cause, Marshall, I'm you
[Chorus]
Marshall, remember back when
You became Eminem
You changed the world with a pen
Well, now I'm just like you
I don't give a what saying what I want with my fingers up
Everybody triggered and they think I suck
But I don't give a what
But I don't give a what
[Verse 2]
Dear Slim, I thought that maybe 'cause you paved the way for me
You might relate to weight that Caucasian rappers are carrying
They're constantly comparing us to you, it's embarrassing
Never gaining their approval, it's just hate we're inheriting
But I'm here now, go ahead and hate it, don't hurt
Call me culture vulture garbage, those are ignorant words
I kill a vulture, cook the poultry in a pan till it's burned
See, Marshall? I'm just like you, I'm flipping the bird
Dear Slim, I just wanna give you your flowers
I spent hours memorizing all of your songs in 2000
You were the reason I screamed it to my teachers as a teen
I needed your CD on repeat and Shady's face on a T-shirt
But I'm here now, they call me controversial just like you
We're both white, both rap, both of our eyes blue
Screw any guy who tries to say you changed and don't like you
Cause in my mind it's still '99 and I'm you
[Chorus]
Marshall, remember back when
You became Eminem
You changed the world with a pen
Well, now I'm just like you
I don't give a what saying what I want with my fingers up
Everybody triggered and they think I suck
But I don't give a what
But I don't give a what
[Bridge]
Whether you love me or hate me, you think I'm crazy
Dropped a 100 grand to get a beat from Shady
I really hope when I bought it, he wasn't angry
But I really had to tell him that he'd changed me
The truth of the matter is without you, Marshall Mathers
I would've committed suicide before I was a rapper
You showed me that I could do it, I didn't need to be black
Or I know it's stupid, but I just had to do my best to say thank you
[Chorus]
Marshall, remember back when
You became Eminem
You changed the world with a pen
Well, now I'm just like you
I don't give a what saying what I want with my fingers up
Everybody triggered and they think I suck
But I don't give a what
But I don't give a what
[Outro]
Marshall, remember back when
You became Eminem
You changed the world with a pen
Well, now I'm just like you
I don't give a what saying what I want with my fingers up
Everybody triggered and they think I suck
But I don't give a what
But I don't give a what
Dragi Slim, mislio sam da bi ste čuli za mene možda
Uzrok posljednje vrijeme posvuda se okrenem, netko nas uspoređuju, ludo
Nikad ne bih sam mislio kad sam bio sudarajući Biggie i „Pac
Da ću kupiti izbjeljivač u kutiju i postati proizvod Shady, ali sada sam ovdje
Bok, moje ime je Tom MacDonald, ljudi me zovu kontroverznim
Ja sam onaj koji kontrakultura slijedi
Svaka pjesma koju kap je problem, ja uvrijediti jako puno sa teme
Osvrćući se na rase i politike, ja sam prilično strašan
Dragi Slim, znam da smo jako različiti politički
Čini se kao neke od svojih najvećih obožavatelja su žrtve sam pokreće
Oni uvjeren sam ne kao ti koji nije u skladu s poviješću
Bio sam pokupila na kao dijete, a oni ne znaju što je vitak učinio za mene
Ali sada sam ovdje, a ja sam se boriti ovaj sustav baš kao i ti
Bio je ovisnik o pilulama i likera i zatvoriti ih baš kao i ti
Ljudi tvrde da me mrze, ali Marshall, koji ne može biti u pravu, čovječe
Morao bi se mrze kao „uzrok, Marshall, ja sam ti
[Hor]
Marshall, sjetite se kad
Postao si Eminem
Promijenili ste svijet s olovkom
Pa, sad sam baš kao i ti
Ne dati ono što govori ono što želim s mojim prstima gore
Svi pokreću i misle da sam sisati
Ali ne dati ono
Ali ne dati ono
[Redak 2]
Dragi vitak, mislio sam da je možda zato što je utro put za mene
Možda se odnose na težinu koja se Kavkaza repera noseći
Oni nas neprestano uspoređuju s tobom, to je neugodno
Nikad ne dobiva suglasnost, to je samo mrzim smo nasljeđivanje
Ali sada sam ovdje, ići naprijed i mrzim ga, ne povrijediti
Nazovi me kultura sup smeće, to su neuki riječi
Ja ubiti supa, kuhati peradi u tavi dok ne bude spaljen
Vidi, Marshall? Ja sam baš kao i ti, ja preklapanje pticu
Dragi vitak, ja samo želim dati svoje cvijeće
Proveo sam sate napamet sve svoje pjesme u 2000. godini
Ti si razlog zbog kojeg sam ga vrisnula mojim učiteljima kao tinejdžerka
Trebao sam CD na repeat i sjenovitim lica na majici
Ali sada sam ovdje, zovu me kontroverzni baš kao i ti
Obojica smo bijeli, i rap, obje naše oči plave
Jebeš svaki čovjek koji pokušava reći da se promijenila i ne sviđa ti
Uzrok je u mojoj glavi to je još uvijek 99, a ja sam ti
[Hor]
Marshall, sjetite se kad
Postao si Eminem
Promijenili ste svijet s olovkom
Pa, sad sam baš kao i ti
Ne dati ono što govori ono što želim s mojim prstima gore
Svi pokreću i misle da sam sisati
Ali ne dati ono
Ali ne dati ono
[Most]
Bilo me volite ili mrzite me, misliš da sam lud
Pao 100 tisuća da se tuku sa Shady
Stvarno se nadam da kad sam ga kupio, nije bio ljut
Ali ja stvarno morao mu je reći da me je promijenila
Istina je u tome bez tebe, Marshall Mathers
Ja bih počinio samoubojstvo prije nego što sam bio reper
mi je pokazao si da sam mogao to učiniti, ja ne treba da bude crna
Ili Znam da je glupo, ali jednostavno sam morao obaviti moj najbolji to reći hvala
[Hor]
Marshall, sjetite se kad
Postao si Eminem
Promijenili ste svijet s olovkom
Pa, sad sam baš kao i ti
Ne dati ono što govori ono što želim s mojim prstima gore
Svi pokreću i misle da sam sisati
Ali ne dati ono
Ali ne dati ono
[Završnu]
Marshall, sjetite se kad
Postao si Eminem
Promijenili ste svijet s olovkom
Pa, sad sam baš kao i ti
Ne dati ono što govori ono što želim s mojim prstima gore
Svi pokreću i misle da sam sisati
