Artist: Eminem f/ Polina Album: The Marshall Mathers LP 2 Song: Legacy Typed by: Nickolye16@aol.com [Intro: Polina] Tell me where to go, tell me what to do I'll be right there for you Tell me what to say, no matter if it's true I'll say it all for you (for you, for you) [Eminem] I used to be the type of kid that, would always think the sky is fallin Why am I so differently wired? Am I a Martian? What kind of twisted experiment am I involved in? Cause I don't belong in this world, that's why I'm scoffin at authority, defyin often, flyin off at the handle at my mom, no dad, so I am non-com- -pliant at home, at school, I'm just shy and awkward And I don't need no goddamn psychologist tryin to diagnose why, I have all these underlyin problems thinkin he can try and solve 'em, I'm outside chalkin up drawings on the sidewalk and in the front drive talkin to myself, either that or inside hidin off in the corner somewhere quiet, tryin not to be noticed cause I'm cryin and sobbin I had a bad day at school so I ain't talkin Some cocksucker shoved me into a fuckin locker cause he said that I eyeballed him [Polina] And if you fall, I'll catch you there I'll be your savior from all the wars that are fought, inside your world Please have faith in my words... Cause [Chorus: Polina] This is my legacy legacy, ehhhhhh This is my legacy legacy, ehhhhhh There's no guarantee, it's not up to me, we can only see That this is my legacy legacy, legacy legacy [Eminem] I used to be the type of kid that, would always think the sky is fallin Why am I so differently wired, in my noggin? Cause sporadic as my thoughts come, it's mind-bogglin Cause I obsess on everything, in my mind small shit bothers me but not my father, he said "Sayonara" then split, but I don't give a shit, I'm fine long as there's batteries in my Walkman Nothin's the matter with me, shit look on the bright side, least I ain't walkin I bike ride through the neighborhood of my apartment complex on a ten-speed, which I've acquired parts that I find in the garbage, a frame, then put tires on it Headphones on, look straight ahead if kids try and start shit But if this is all there is for me, life offers Why bother even tryin to put up a fight? It's nonsense But I think a light bulb just lit up in my conscience What about them rhymes I've been jottin? They're kinda givin me confidence Instead of tryin to escape through my comics Why don't I just blast a little somethin like Onyx to put me in the mood to wanna fight and write songs that say what I wanna say to that kid that said that I eyeballed him? Grab hold of my balls like "That's right, fight's on bitch!" Who woulda knew from the moment I turned the mic on that I could be iconic, in my conquest? That's word to Phife Dawg from A Tribe Called Quest [Chorus] [Eminem] I used to be the type of kid that, would always think the sky is fallin Now I think the fact that I'm differently wired's awesome Cause if I wasn't I wouldn't be able to work words like this and connect lines like crosswords And use my enemy's words as strength, to try and draw from and get inspired off 'em Cause all my life I was told and taught I am not shit by you wack fuckin giant sacks of lyin dog shit! Now you shut up bitch, I am talkin! Thought I was full of horse shit and now you fuckin worship the ground on which I am walkin Me against the world, so what? I'm Brian Dawkins versus the whole 0-and-16 Lions' offense! So bring on the Giants, Falcons and Miami Dolphins It's the body-bag game bitch, I'm supplyin coffins Cause you +Dicks Butt-kiss+, a bunch of Brian Balding- -ers, you're gon' die a ball-licker, I've been diabolic- -al with this dialogue since '99 Rawkus You don't respect the legacy I leave behind y'all can suck a dick, the day you beat me pigs'll fly out my ass in a flyin saucer full of Italian sausage! The most high exalting and I ain't halting 'til I die of exhaustion, inhale my exhaust fumes! The best part about me, is I am not you I'm me, and I'm the Fire Marshall And this is my [Chorus]
