Who Knew

Mic check 1 2
Who woulda knew?
Who would've known?
Fuck, who would've thought?
Mothafucker comes out
And sells a couple of million records
And these mothafuckers hit the ceiling


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
I put wives at risk with a knife like this
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 burnin' furniture out
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
But don't blame me
When lil' Eric jumps off of the terrace
You shoulda been watchin him
Apparently you ain't parents


CHORUS (2x):
Cause I never knew I
Knew I would get this big
Knew I'd effect this kid
Get him to slit his wrist
Get him to hit this bitch


So who's bringin' the guns in this country?
I couldn't sneak a plastic pellet gun
Through customs over in London
And last week, I seen a Schwarzenegger movie
Where he's shootin' all sorts of these mothafuckers 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?
So tell me that your son doesn't know any cuss words
When his bus driver's screamin' at him, fuckin' him up worse
And fuck was the first word I ever learned
Up in the third grade, flippin the gym teacher the bird
So 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
Fucked up after I beat her fuckin ass every night
So how much easier would life be
If 19 million mothafuckers grew
To be just like me


-CHORUS-


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 shitass bitch cunt, shooby-de-doo-wop
Skibbedy-be-bop, a-Christopher Reeves
Sonny Bono, skis, horses and hittin' some trees
How many retards will listen to me
And run up in the school shootin'
When they're pissed at a teacher
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 would've been in my shoes
Who would've thought
Slim Shady would be somethin' that you would've bought
That would've 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


-CHORUS-


How the fuck was I supposed to know..
