Absent Minded
Eminem
Don't you know who you are
stopping a war between the whites and colors?
don't you know those who called you wigger
have your back
and as you slide around and rap you earn more and more repect?
Don't you know what you are and who you represent?
don't fall for the lies
don't forget
a non existant crime scene you live
caught in the middle no one understands
and here ia m with my names as songs
say the word and the wars of the streets come circling around
like a bomb that never stopped exploding
Marilyn was the decoy and you are the one tryiong to stop wars of the streets
you are the peacekeeper
and there are haters out there
who have your back
wether it be war or peace
Don't you know what you are?
don't you know what you are?
Here i am
waiting to give the signal to hells angels
here i am waiting to tell white power to make sure your enemies
never mess with someone like you again
but who are you representing my friend?
don't you kno wwhat you are?
don't you kno wwho you are?
standing in the middle of the controversy of rap
uinder attack between the hates of whoites and blacks
and the territorial footings of blacks and blacks
The things you know the stories you could tell
the cyphers i cant figure
as i sit in this lonely compton apartment
wanting to build a hollywood warehouse for canadians to finally have some control
over the propoganda everyone sells
Don't you know who you are
inside and outside of jail?
don't you know what you are
and the tests you have faced mean nothing in comparison to the
\lonely nightmare youre about to express?
don't you know what i would do if i was in your shoes
and who sent you and why you are who you are?
dont you know your purpose
of learning to stop little wars and redcordiong it all to teach how to stop the bigger tragedies
you are one of my favorite stars
now you see how blind many truly are
and when in danger
wether or not a star
wether it be angels sent from hell
or powers to white out any name from the hotels of rawanda we saved
from hutoos or tootsies
that disspeared long ago to come here and start their genocide again
dont you know who you are?
sometimes i thonk your just like me
a kindred spirit and i understand you like that stan guy you rap about
but dont fail your mission and get sucked in
dont fall for the tricks of their tyraditions to pack a piece and die
as theirt martyr of the hero your supposed to be
because all i can do is learn from you teach what chiuldren i can
what you taught me
and hopefully sweep it under a rug and try again
to stop these srtreet fights and learn how to stop bigger tragedies
Don't you know who you are Marshal Mathers or who ever you are
Eminem
You are a lonely white rapper
and millions of kids listening to heavy metal might joke about you
thet might call you wigger
but after they comew from jail
and nine balck men try to kill them for being white
and the supremiscists of their nation reveal who you are
the one trying to stop the fight
some see you as a hero
some see you as a fool
some hate the enemy who tried to kill them for nothing
some see you as a martyr and saint
and all i can do is pray and try to learn from you
and hope somehow this stupid letter poem
he;lps in some way for them to know
their gangs of color on the streets cant escape the population
of the one Eminem
trying to stop the fight
when he steps down what then?
you cant escape the poipulation
and jail for them wont be a refuge
and guns will only allow them to hide for their lives from people
your holdiong back from them for soo long
and they know it
and if they dont they should now
they fed it into my head since i was a kid
and since im soo racist, even though im not
eminem, you giove em a what for, you tell them like it is
and all of us haters ort lovers will back you up
see us pull this string and that string as we make it harder on them
don't you know who you are?
don't you know what you are?
when the time comes and they realise who they are messing with and how you stand for peace of the streets
well they cant escape their own population
and marilyn manson and eminem
work for the king i am
writing this stupid poetry revealing nothing
as alanis morisette tells you one more time
you cant wash your hands clean
buut you can look and see whose elses names are all songs
and who im competing with......
matrix cells
a lonely hell
grandfathers will
and metaphorical chess
at arms length
as im surrounded by puzzle pieces for me to ponder
its no wonder
as the soldiers you are no blind leading the blind
buyt as you see
and i see in a different light
we're getting closer than farther
so here i go to tell the angels
and extremists
to be carefull of big brother
because you are videotaped like eighty times a day
and my im,agination has hundreds of wicked ways to make you pay for your crimes
that you havent imagined
and threatened or not
as i look for an enemy
you may or may not want to identify with any
especially groups of racist people who try to kill eachother for territory
blame it on another race
and then go after them
and then tell them they have ytheir story backwards
so remember the 27 years of life im living
and what ive seen happening
pretty soon im gonna have my own opinion and you can all let it go
one more slip against my peace keeping operation of the streets
and the fingers im being pointed towards
their families and friends will dissapear
and they wont end up back in rawanda
hell's gates or mexico
stopping a war between the whites and colors?
don't you know those who called you wigger
have your back
and as you slide around and rap you earn more and more repect?
Don't you know what you are and who you represent?
don't fall for the lies
