Hi! My name is What? My name is Who? My name is Chika-chika Slim Shady Hi! My name is Huh? My name is What? My name is Chika-chika Slim Shady Hi! My name is What? Excuse me Can I have the attention of the class For one second Hi kids! Do you like violence? Wanna see me stick Nine inch Nails, through each one of my eyelids? Wanna copy me and do exactly like I did? Try acid and get fucked up worse that my life is? My brain's dead weight, I'm tryin' to get my head straight But I can't figure out which Spice Girl I want to impregnate And Dr. Dre said "Slim Shady you a base-head!" Uh-uh! "So why's your face red? Man you wasted!" Well since age twelve, I've felt like I'm someone else 'Cause I hung my original self from the top bunk with a belt Got pissed off and ripped Pamela Lee's tits off And smacked her so hard I knocked her clothes backwards like Kris Kross I smoke a fat pound of grass and fall on my ass, faster than a fat bitch Who sat down too fast Come here, slut! "Shady, wait a minute, that's my girl, dawg!" I don't give a fuck, God sent me to piss the world off! Hi! My name is What? My name is Who? My name is Chika-chika Slim Shady Hi! My name is Huh? My name is What? My name is Chika-chika Slim Shady Hi! My name is What? My name is Who? My name is Chika-chika Slim Shady Hi! My name is Huh? My name is What? My name is Chika-chika Slim Shady My English teacher wanted to flunk me in Junior High Thanks a lot, next semester I'll be thirty five I smacked him in his face with an eraser Chased him with a stapler Stapled his nuts to a stack of papers Walked in the strip club, had my jacket zipped up Flashed the bartender, then stuck my dick in the tip cup Extraterrestrial, running over pedestrians in a space ship While they screamin' at me "Let's just be friends!" Ninety-nine percent of my life I was lied to I just found out my mom does more dope than I do I told her I'd grow up to be a famous rapper Make a record about doin' drugs and name it after her You know you blew up when the women rush your stands Try to touch your hands like some screamin' Usher fans This guy at White Castle asked for my autograph So I signed it "Dear Dave, thanks for the support, asshole!" Hi! My name is What? My name is Who? My name is Chika-chika Slim Shady Hi! My name is What? My name is Who? My name is Chika-chika Slim Shady Hi! My name is Huh? My name is Who? My name is Chika-chika Slim Shady Hi! My name is What? My name is Who? My name is Chika-chika Slim Shady Stop the tape! This kid needs to be locked away! Dr. Dre, don't just stand there, operate! I'm not ready to leave, it's too scary to die I'll have to be carried inside the cemetery and buried alive Am I comin' or goin'? I can barely decide I just drank a fifth of vodka Dare me to drive? All my life I was very deprived I ain't had a woman in years and my palms are too hairy to hide Clothes ripped like the Incredible Hulk I spit when I talk, I'll fuck anything that walks When I was little I used to get so hungry I would throw fits How you gonna breast feed me, Mom? You ain't got no tits! I lay awake and strap myself in the bed With a bulletproof vest on and shoot myself in the head I'm steamin' mad And by the way when you see my dad? Tell him that I slit his throat, in this dream I had Hi! My name is What? My name is Who? My name is Chika-chika Slim Shady Hi! My name is Huh? My name is What? My name is Chika-chika Slim Shady Hi! My name is Who? My name is Huh? My name is Chika-chika Slim Shady Hi! My name is Huh? My name is Who? My name is Chika-chika Slim Shady
