I can be anything

That you want me to be

A punching bag

A piece of string

That reminds you not to think

They found the note

down in your car

It’s not your fault it gets this hard

Hold your head high

Don’t look down

I’m by your side

I won't back down

You wanted a hero tonight

Well I’m not made of steel

But your secret’s safe with me

I can be anything

That you want me to be

A holy cross

Some sympathy

That reminds you how to bleed

They found the note down

in your car

You climbed up here to fall apart

They knock you down

I’ll pick you up

They laugh at you

I’ll shut them up

[Dre (Em)]

Yeah

(Definitely, definitely, definitely, definitely, definitely K-mart)

Yeah, yeah

[Eminem (Dr. Dre):]

You find me offensive? I find you offensive

For finding me offensive

Hence if I should draw a line on any fences

If so to what extense if

Any, should I go? 'Cause it's getting expensive

Being on the other side of the courtroom on the defensive

They say that I cause extensive

Psychological nerve damage to the brain when I go to lengths this,

Far at other people's expenses

I say your all just too god damn sensitive

It's censorship

And it's down right blasphemous

Listen to shit now cause I won't stand for this

And Chirs-stiff-pher Reeves won't sit for this neither

And let's clear this up too I ain't got no beef with him either

He used to be like a hero to me

I even believe I, had one of those 25 cent stickers on my re--frigerator

Right next to Darth Vader

And Darth must have put a hex on him for later

I feel like it's my fault cause of the way that

I stuck him up in between him and Lex Luther

I killed Superman, I killed Super--man

And how ironic, that I'd be the bad guy

Kryptonite: The Green Chronic

[Chorus:]

Cause I ain't got no legs!

Or no brain, nice to meet you

Hi, my name is...

I forgot my name!

My name was not to become what I became with this level of fame

My soul is possessed by this devil my new name is....

Rain Man

Now in the Bible it says

Thou shalt not watch two lesbians in bed,

Have homosexual sex

Unless of course you were given the consent to join in

Then of course, it's intercourse

And it's bi-sexual sex

Which isn't as bad, as long as you show some remorse for your actions

Either before, during or after performing the act of that which

Is normally referred to have such, more commonly known phrases

That are more used by today's kids

In a more derogatory way but

Who's to say, what's fair to say, and what not to say?

Let's ask Dr. Dre

Dr. Dre? (What up?)

I gotta question if I may? (Yeah)

Is it gay to play Putt-Putt golf with a friend (Yeah)

And watch his butt-butt when he tees off? (Yeah)

But, but! I ain't done yet

In football the quarterback yells out hutt-hutt

While he reaches in another grown man's ass

Grabs on his nuts but just what if

It was never meant it was just an accident

But he tripped, fell, slipped and his penis went in

His teeny tiny little round hiney but he didn't mean it

But his little weenie flinched just a little bit

And I don't mean to go in into any more details but

What if he pictured it as a females butt?

Is that gay? I just need to clear things up

Till then I'll just walk around with a manly strut because...

[Chorus]

You find me offensive, I find you offensive

Shit, this is the same verse I just did this

When am I gonna come to my good senses?

Probably the day Bush comes to my defenses

My spider senses telling me Spiderman is nearby

And my plan is to get him next

And open up a whip ass canister

God damn it Dre where is the god damn beat? (Yeah)

Anyway, anyway I don't know how else to put it

This is the only thing that I'm good at

I am the bad guy, Kryptonite: The Green Chronic

Demonic, yep yep, don't worry I'm on it

I got it, high five Nick Lachey

Stuck a pen in Jessica's head and walked away

And she blew around the room like a balloon-a

Grabbed the last can of chicken tuna

Out the trash can and zoom-a

Headed straight back to the Neverland Ranch

With a peanut butter, jelly, chicken, tuna sandwich

And I don't gotta make no god damn sense

I just did a whole song and I didn't say shit

[Chorus]

Cause IIIAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHAHAHAAA AAAAAHAHHHHHHHHHH

Yo, Rain Man

Definitely, definitely Dr. Dre super dope beat maker two thousand and

Two thousand four hundred and eighty seven million

Nine hundred and n seventy three thousand four hundred and sixty three

And seventy (Yeah)

Frou Frou - Holding Out For a Hero

Spoiler: Click here to view

Where have all the good men gone

And where are all the gods?

Where's the street-wise Hercules

To fight the rising odds?

Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?

Late at night toss and turn and dream of what I need

(Chorus)

I need a hero

I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night

He's gotta be strong

And he's gotta be fast

And he's gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero

I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light

He's gotta be sure

And it's gotta be soon

And he's gotta be larger than life

Somewhere after midnight

In my wildest fantasy

Somewhere just beyond my reach

There's someone reaching back for me

Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat

It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet

(Chorus)

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above

Out where the lightning splits the sea

I would swear that there's someone somewhere

Watching me

Through the wind and the chill and the rain

And the storm and the flood

I can feel his approach

Like the fire in my blood

[Skummy]
