Eminem
Who Knew
[Introduzione]
I never knew I..
I never knew I..
Mic check one-two
I never knew I..
Who woulda knew?
I never knew I..
Who'da known?
I never knew I..
Fuck what a story
I never knew I..
Motherfucker comes out
I never knew I..
and sells a couple of million records
I never knew I..
And these motherfuckers
hit the ceiling
I never knew I..
[Verso 1]
I don't do black music,
I don't do white music
I make fight music,
for high school kids
I put lives at risk when
I drive like this
[pneumatici che stridono]
I put wives at risk
with a knife like this (AHHH!!)
Shit, you probably think
I'm in your tape deck now
I'm in the back seat of your truck,
with duct tape stretched out
Ducked the fuck way down,
waitin to straight jump out
put it over your mouth,
and grab you by the face,
what now?
Oh - you want me
to watch my mouth, how?
Take my fuckin eyeballs out,
and turn em around?
Look - I'll burn your fuckin
house down, circle around
and hit the hydrant,
so you can't put
your burning furniture out
(Oh my God! Oh my God!)
I'm sorry,
there must be a mix-up
You want me to fix up lyrics while
the President gets his dick sucked?
Fuck that, take drugs, rape sluts
Make fun of gay clubs,
men who wear make-up
Get aware, wake up,
get a sense of humor
Quit tryin to censor music,
this is for your kid's amusement
(The kids!) But don't blame me
when lil' Eric jumps off of the terrace
You shoulda been watchin him -
apparently you ain't parents
[Ritornello]
Cause I never knew I,
knew I would get this big
I never knew I,
knew I'd effect this kid
I never knew I'd,
get him to slit his wrist
I never knew I'd,
get him to hit this bitch
I never knew I,
knew I would get this big
I never knew I,
knew I'd effect this kid
I never knew I'd,
get him to slit his wrist
I never knew I'd,
get him to hit this bitch
[Verso 2]
So who's bringin the guns
in this country? (Hmm?)
I couldn't sneak a plastic pellet
gun through customs over in London
And last week,
I seen a Schwarzaneggar movie
where he's shootin all sorts of
these motherfuckers with a uzi
I sees three little kids,
up in the front row, screamin 'Go,'
with their 17-year-old Uncle
I'm like, 'Guidance? - ain't they
got the same moms and dads
who got mad when I asked
if they liked violence?'
And told me that my tape
taught 'em to swear
What about the make-up you allow
your 12-year-old daughter to wear?
(Hmm?) So tell me that your son
doesn't know any cuss words
when his bus driver's screamin at him,
fuckin him up worse
('Go sit the fuck down,
you little fuckin prick!')
And 'fuck' was the first
word I ever learned
up in the third grade,
flippin the gym teacher
the bird (Look!)
Read up about how
I used to get beat up
peed on, be on free lunch,
and change school
every 3 months
My life's like kinda
what my wife's like (what?)
Fucked up after I beat her fuckin ass
every night, Ike
So how much easier
would life be
if 19 million motherfuckers
grew to be just like me?
[Ritornello]
[Verso 3]
I never knew I..
knew I'd..
have a new house
or a new car
A couple years ago
I was more poorer than you are
I don't got that
bad of a mouth, do I?
Fuck shit ass bitch cunt,
shooby-de-doo-wop (what?)
Skibbedy-be-bop,
a-Christopher Reeves
Sonny Bono, skis horses
and hittin some trees (HEY!)
How many retards'll listen to me
and run up in the school shootin
when they're pissed at a
teach-er, her, him,
is it you is it them?
'Wasn't me, Slim Shady
said to do it again!'
Damn! How much damage
can you do with a pen?
Man I'm just as fucked up
as you woulda been
if you woulda been,
in my shoes, who woulda thought
Slim Shady would be somethin
that you woulda bought
that woulda made you get
a gun and shoot at a cop
I just said it - I ain't know
if you'd do it or not
[Ritornello]
How the fuck was
I supposed to know?
I never knew I..
