[Intro: Eminem & Dr. Dre]

Heh, so I'm out the game, huh? (Huh?)

Yo, Dre, we ridin'? Whatever (Haha)

Well, I'm wit' ya, homie

Okay, let's handle the small shit


[Verse 1: Eminem]

I was born to brew up storms, stir up shit

Kick up dust, cuss 'til I slur up spit

Grew up too quick, went through too much, knew too much shit

Corrupt, and I'ma pour it on like syrup, bitch

Thick and rich, sick and twisted, Mr. Buttersworth

Dre told me to milk this shit for what it's worth

'Til the cow just tilts and tips and stumbles to Earth

And if I fumble a verse

Keep goin' first take, I make mistakes, just keep it

No punches pulled, no punches, that's weak shit, fake shit

If I ever take shit, I'll eat shit, wasn't for him, wouldn't be shit

[Verse 2: Dr. Dre & Eminem]

Creep with me as we take a little trip down memory lane

Been here longer than anyone in the game

And I ain't got to lie about my age

(But what about Jermaine?) Fuck Jermaine!

He don't belong speakin' mine or Timbaland's name

And don't think I don't read your little interviews and see what you're sayin'

I'm a giant, and I ain't gotta move 'til I'm provoked

When I see you, I'ma step on you and not even know it

You midget, mini-me with a bunch of little mini-yous

Runnin' around your backyard swimmin' pools

Over eighty million records sold

And I ain't have to do it with ten- or eleven-year-olds


[Chorus: Eminem]

'Cause what you say is what you say

Say what you say how you say it whenever you sayin' it

Just remember how you said it when you was sprayin' it

So who you playin' with, huh? (Huh, huh, huh)

'Cause what you say is what you say

Say what you say how you say it whenever you sayin' it

Just remember how you said it when you was sprayin' it

So who you playin' with, huh? (Huh, huh, huh)

[Verse 3: Eminem & Dr. Dre]

Second verse, it gets worse, it gets no better than this

Amateurs drink veteran piss

From a Dixie cup, if you ever mix me up

Or confuse me with a Canibus or Dre with a Dupri

We'll rub it in, every club you're in, we'll have you blackballed

And make sure you never rap a-fuckin'-gain

Dre ain't havin' it, long as I'm here to play devil's advocate

If there was some magic shit I could wave

Over the industry that could save it when I'm gone

And buried to make sure the tradition carries on, I would

If I could only use this power for good, I wouldn't, not even if I could

From the hood, and I'm a hornet

And I'ma only sting when I'm cornered

And I'ma only sucker punch and swing without warnin'

And swing to knock somebody's fuckin' head off

‘Cause I know if they get up, I won't get a chance to let off

Another punch, I'm punk rock, no one's punk

Don't give a fuck, white Pac, so much spunk

When I was little I knew I would blow up and sell a mil' or

Grow up to be Attila, go nuts and be a killer

And I'm somethin' of a phenom, one puff of the chron'

I'm unstoppable, I'm alive and on top again

There's no obstacle that I can't conquer

So come along with us

Come on


[Chorus: Eminem]

'Cause what you say is what you say

Say what you say how you say it whenever you sayin' it

Just remember how you said it when you was sprayin' it

So who you playin' with, huh? (Huh, huh, huh)

'Cause what you say is what you say

Say what you say how you say it whenever you sayin' it

Just remember how you said it when you was sprayin' it

So who you playin' with, huh? (Huh, huh, huh)


[Verse 4: Dr. Dre]

Now anybody who knows Dre

Knows I'm about fast cars and Alizé, partyin' all day

But I handled my business, 'cause it's work before play

Don't look for trouble, but I'll serve you gourmet

However you want it, you can have it your way

You fuck my night up, I'ma fuck up your day

Bullet with your name, sendin' it your way

That goes for anyone who walks through that doorway

'Cause this is my space, you invade it

Live to regret it, and you'll die tryna violate it

Fuck around, get annihilated, eyes dilated

[Verse 5: Eminem & Dr. Dre]

Huh, like my old lady?

'Cause what you say is what you say

Sometimes what you mean is two different things

Dependin' on your mood if it swings

Think too many things, little hit of Dre's weed, I can do anything

Catch a contact and I'm gone, and I'm back

I speedwrite and my loose leaf's my launchpad

And I can pull any string, don't have to prove anything

Catch a contrac' on your head, you headed west?

Talked shit about Dre? You better get a vest

And invest in somethin' to protect your head and neck

And it's back and forth all day, like Red and Meth

I joke when I say I'm the best in the booth, but a lotta truth is said in jest

And if I ever do live to be a legend, I'ma die a sudden death

Five mics in "The Source"? Ain't holdin' my fuckin' breath

But I'll suffocate for the respect 'fore I breathe to collect a fuckin' check


[Chorus: Eminem]

'Cause what you say is what you say

Say what you say how you say it whenever you sayin' it

Just remember how you said it when you was sprayin' it

So who you playin' with, huh? (Huh, huh, huh)

'Cause what you say is what you say

Say what you say how you say it whenever you sayin' it

Just remember how you said it when you was sprayin' it

So who you playin' with, huh? (Huh, huh, huh)

[Outro: Dr. Dre & Timbaland]

Watch your fuckin' mouth

Yo, this Timbaland, tell him I said suck, chka, my dick
