Who Knew - Eminem

Mic check one-two

Who woulda knew?

Who'da known?

Fuck woulda thought?

Motherfucker comes out

And sells a couple of million records

And these motherfuckers 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 burning 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

'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

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've seen a Schwarzaneggar movie where he's shootin' all sorts of these motherfuckers with a uzi

I see these three little kids, up in the front row

Screamin' "Go!" with their seventeen 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 twelve 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 three months

My life's like kinda what my wife's like

Fucked up after I beat her fuckin' ass every night, Ike

So how much easier would life be if nineteen million motherfuckers grew to be just like me?

'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

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

Skibbedy-be-bop, a-Christopher Reeves

Sonny Bono, skis horses and hittin' some trees

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

'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

How the fuck was I supposed to know?
