[00:12.42]Dear Slim I thought you might've heard of me maybe
[00:14.59]'Cause lately everywhere I turn someone's comparing us crazy
[00:17.05]I never would've thought when I was bumping Biggie and 'Pac
[00:19.73]That I would buy bleach in a box and become the product of Shady
[00:22.40]But I'm here now hi my name is Tom MacDonald
[00:25.00]People call me controversial I'm the one that counterculture follows
[00:27.84]Every song I drop's a problem I offend an awful lot with topics
[00:30.66]Commenting on race and politics I'm pretty awesome
[00:33.17]Dear Slim I know we're very different politically
[00:35.50]Seems like some of your biggest fans are the victims I'm triggering
[00:38.07]They're convinced I don't like you which ain't consistent with history
[00:40.57]I was picked on as a kid and they don't know what Slim did for me
[00:43.38]But I'm here now and I fight this system just like you
[00:45.97]Was addicted to pills and liquor and quit 'em just like you
[00:48.50]People claim that you hate me but Marshall that can't be right dude
[00:51.15]You'd have to hate yourself as well 'cause Marshall I'm you
[00:54.03]Marshall remember back when
[00:57.38]You became Eminem
[00:59.92]You changed the world with a pen
[01:02.32]Well now I'm just like you
[01:04.43]I don't give a what saying what I want with my fingers up
[01:07.12]Everybody triggered and they think I suck
[01:09.11]But I don't give a what
[01:10.40]Nanananana
[01:12.22]But I don't give a what
[01:13.21]Nananananana
[01:16.33]Dear Slim I thought that maybe 'cause you paved the way for me
[01:18.96]You might relate to weight that Caucasian rappers are carrying
[01:21.48]They're constantly comparing us to you it's embarrassing
[01:23.73]Never gaining their approval it's just hate we're inheriting
[01:26.32]But I'm here now go ahead and hate it don't hurt
[01:28.93]Call me culture vulture garbage those are ignorant words
[01:31.54]I kill a vulture cook the poultry in a pan till it's burned
[01:34.43]See Marshall
[01:35.12]I'm just like you I'm flipping the bird
[01:36.89]Dear Slim I just wanna give you your flowers
[01:39.36]I spent hours memorizing all of your songs in 2000
[01:42.01]You were the reason I screamed at all of my teachers as teen
[01:44.55]I needed your CD on repeat and Shady's face on a T-shirt
[01:47.26]But I'm here now they call me controversial just like you
[01:49.94]We're both white both rap both of our eyes blue
[01:52.39]Screw any guy who tries to say you changed and don't like you
[01:55.18]'Cause in my mind it's still '99 and I'm you
[01:58.16]Marshall remember back when
[02:00.65]
[02:01.27]You became Eminem
[02:03.25]
[02:03.78]You changed the world with a pen
[02:06.13]Well now I'm just like you
[02:08.11]I don't give a what saying what I want with my fingers up
[02:11.07]Everybody triggered and they think I suck
[02:13.21]But I don't give a what
[02:14.35]Nanananana
[02:16.01]But I don't give a what
[02:16.75]Nananananana
[02:20.06]Whether you love me or hate me you think I'm crazy
[02:22.46]Dropped a 100 grand to get a beat from Shady
[02:25.07]I really hope when I bought it he wasn't angry
[02:27.64]But I really had to tell him that he'd changed me
[02:30.38]The truth of the matter is without you Marshall Mathers
[02:32.81]I would've committed suicide before I was a rapper
[02:35.28]You showed me that I could do it I didn't need to be black
[02:37.93]Or I know it's stupid
[02:38.79]But I just had to do my best to say thank you
[02:40.96]Marshall remember back when
[02:43.75]
[02:44.32]You became Eminem
[02:46.83]You changed the world with a pen
[02:49.26]Well now I'm just like you
[02:51.33]I don't give a what saying what I want with my fingers up
[02:54.04]Everybody triggered and they think I suck
[02:56.17]But I don't give a what
[02:57.41]Nanananana
[02:59.04]But I don't give a what
[03:00.01]Nananananana
[03:01.94]Marshall remember back when
[03:04.51]
[03:05.09]You became Eminem
[03:07.58]You changed the world with a pen
[03:10.07]Well now I'm just like you
[03:12.13]I don't give a what saying what I want with my fingers up
[03:14.94]Everybody triggered and they think I suck
[03:17.19]But I don't give a what
[03:18.18]Nanananana
[03:19.95]But I don't give a what
