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
亲爱的Slim，我想你可能已经听说过，也许我的
因为最近，我到处转，别人的比较我们，疯狂
我绝不会已经想到当我撞大不了和“小精灵
我会在一个盒子里买漂白剂和成为黑幕的产品，但现在我在这里
嗨，我的名字是汤姆·麦克唐纳，人家都叫我有争议
我就是反主流遵循一个
每一首歌我滴是一个问题，我得罪一个可怕的很多与主题
在谈到种族和政治，我敢真棒
亲爱的Slim，我知道我们非常不同的政治
好像你的一些最大的球迷，我触发受害者
他们确信我不喜欢你这是不符合历史一致
我被选中作为一个孩子，他们不知道什么修身为我做的
但现在我在这里，我打这个系统就像你
沉迷于药和酒，并退出“时间就像你
人声称，你恨我，但马歇尔，这不可能是正确的，纨绔子弟
你不得不恨自己，以及“事业，马歇尔，我是你
[合唱]
马歇尔，记得回来的时候
你成了阿姆
你用钢笔改变了世界
好了，现在我只是喜欢你
我不给一个什么说什么我想用我的手指向上
每个人都引发他们认为我吸
但是，我不给什么
但是，我不给什么
[诗歌2]
亲爱的Slim，我想，也许因为你为我铺平了道路
白种人说唱背着你可能会涉及到重
他们不断比较我们与您，它的尴尬
从来没有获得他们的认可，它只是恨我们继承
但现在我在这里，继续前进，恨它，不要伤害
给我打电话文化秃鹫的垃圾，这些都是无知的话
我杀了秃鹫，煮在锅里的家禽，直到它的烧
见，马歇尔？我只是喜欢你，我翻转鸟
亲爱的Slim，我只是想给你你的花
我花了几个小时记住所有的歌曲在2000年
你是我之所以它尖叫着我的老师作为一个十几岁
我需要您的重复和阴凉的脸CD上的T恤
但现在我在这里，他们叫我有争议的，就像你
我们都是白色的，无论是说唱，无论是我们的眼睛蓝色的
拧谁试图任何人说你变了，不喜欢你
因为在我心中它仍然是99年，我是你
[合唱]
马歇尔，记得回来的时候
你成了阿姆
你用钢笔改变了世界
好了，现在我只是喜欢你
我不给一个什么说什么我想用我的手指向上
每个人都引发他们认为我吸
但是，我不给什么
但是，我不给什么
[桥]
无论你爱我或者恨我，你以为我疯了
下降了100隆重摆脱黑幕拍
我真的希望，当我买了它，他不生气
但我真的不得不告诉他他改变了我
事情的真相是，没有你，马歇尔马瑟斯
我会一直自杀之前，我是一个说唱歌手
你告诉我，我能做到这一点，我也没必要被黑
或者，我知道这是愚蠢的，但我必须尽我所能说谢谢
[合唱]
马歇尔，记得回来的时候
你成了阿姆
你用钢笔改变了世界
好了，现在我只是喜欢你
我不给一个什么说什么我想用我的手指向上
每个人都引发他们认为我吸
但是，我不给什么
但是，我不给什么
[OUTRO]
马歇尔，记得回来的时候
你成了阿姆
你用钢笔改变了世界
好了，现在我只是喜欢你
我不给一个什么说什么我想用我的手指向上
每个人都引发他们认为我吸
但是，我不给什么
但是，我不给什么
