My name is (explicit version)


Eminem Lyrics

 
Eminem's "My Name Is" serves as a bold introduction to his alter ego, Slim Shady, shoecasing a blend of dark humor, self-deprecation, and controversial topics. This 1999 hit single, produced by Dr. Dre and sampling Labi Siffre's "I Got The," marks Eminem's entrance into the mainstream rap scene, setting the tone for his career's provocative and boundary-pushing nature​​​​. The song is layered with Eminem's reflections on fame, his troubled past, and sovietal critiques, all while introducing Slim Shady as a coping persona for his real-life adversities. Through shocking and sometimes grotesque lyrics, Eminem touches on sensitive subjects like drug use, violence, and family issues, using his music as a platform for commentary on celebrity culture and the public's fascination with controversial figures​​​​. The chorus of "My Name Is" plays a crucial role in establishing Slim Shady's identity, contrasting sharply with Eminem's real persona, Marshall Mathers. It's a masterful blend of catchy hooks and unsettling content, drawing listeners into Eminem's chaotic world. The song's impact is further amplified by its music video, which won the 1999 MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist in a Video, cementing Eminem's place in popular culture​​. Despite its success and influence, Eminem has expressed mixed feelings about "My Name Is," particularly its comedic nature overshadowing his more serious work. Nonetheless, the song remains a significant part of his discography, illustrating his complex relationship with fame and personal identity​​. The track not only won a Grammy for Best Rap Solo Performance in 2000 but also sparked a $10 million slander lawsuit from Eminem's mother, Debbie Mathers, due to its candid lyrics about family dynamics. The lawsuit was settled in 2001, with Debbie receiving a fraction of the settlement after legal fees​​. "My Name Is" is emblematic of Eminem's ability to craft songs that are both deeply personal and broadly appealing, using his lyrical prowess to navigate the complexities of identity, fame, and the human experience.

My name is (explicit version) Lyrics

My name is (explicit version) by Eminem


Hi!
My name is (what?)
My name is (who?)
My name is (chika-chika) Slim Shady
Hi!
My name is (ha?)
My name is (what?)
My name is (chika-chika) Slim Shady

[Clears throat] Excuse me?
Can I have the attention of the class, for one second?

Hi kids, do you like violence? (yeah, yeah, yeah!)
Wanna see me stick nine-inch nails through each one of
my eyelids? (uh-huh!)
Wanna copy me and do exactly like I did? (yeah, yeah!)
Try 'cid and get f**ked up worse than my life is? (huh?)
My brain's dead weight.
I'm tryin'a get my head straight, but I can't figure out
which Spice Girl I wanna impregnate.
And Dr. Dre said "Slim Shady, you a base-head." (uh-uh!)
"Then why's your face red? Man, you wasted."
Well since age twelve I felt like I'm someone else
Cuz I hung my original self from the top bunk with a belt.
Got p**sed off and ripped Pamela Lee's tits off
And smacked her so hard I knocked her clothes
backwards like Kris Kross.
I smoke a fat pound of grass and fall on my ass
Faster than a fat b**ch who sat down too fast.
Come here sl*t
("Shady, wait a minute, that's my girl dawg.")
I don't give a f**k, God sent me to p**s the world off.

Chorus x2

My english teacher wanted to have sex in junior high.
The only problem was, my english teacher was a guy.
so i slapped him in the face with an eraser
Chased him with a stapler.
And stapled his nuts to a stack of paper ("Oww!").
Walked in the strip club
Had my jacket zipped up.
Flashed the bartender
And stuck my dick in her tip cup.
Extra-terrestrials killin pedestrians
rapin' lesbians while they screamin Let's just be friends!!!
Ninety-nine percent of my life I was lied to.
I just found out my mom does more dope than I do.
I told her I'd grow up to be a famous rapper.
Make a record about doin' drugs, and name it after her
("Oh, thank you!").
You know you blew up when the women rush the stands
And try to touch your hands like some screamin Usher fans.
This guy at White Castle asked me for my autograph "dude can i have your auto graph?!
So I signed it: 'Dear Dave, thanks for the support..a**hole!'

Chorus x2

Stop the tape!
This kid needs to be locked away! ("Get Him!")
Dr. Dre don't just stand there, opperate!
I'm not ready to leave.
It's too scary to die.
I'll have to be carried inside the cemetery and buried alive.
Am I comin' or goin'? I can barely decide.
I just drank a fifth of vodka, dare me to drive? ("Go 'head")
All my life I was very deprived.
I ain't had a woman in years.
My palms are too hairy to hide ("Whoops").
Clothes rip like the Incredible Hulk.
I spit when I talk ("Eck-poo!")
I f**k anything that walks ("Come here").
When I was little I used to get so hungry I would throw fits.
How you gonna breast feed me mom?? You ain't got no tits!!
I lay awake and strap myself in the bed.
put a bulletproof vest on, and shoot myself in the head ("BANG!").
blow steamin' mad ("GRRR!").
And by the way, when you see my dad ("yeah")
Tell him I slit his throat in a dream I had.
Chorus X2
