Yo, I Failed Ninth Grade Three Times,

You'd Have To Walk A Thousand Miles In My Shoes Just To See What Its Like To Be Me!!

I Had This Whole Slim Shady Concept Of Being Two Different People, Having Two Different Sides Of Me. One Of Them I Was Trying To Let Go, And I Looked At The Mirror And Smashed It. That Was The Whole Intro Of The Slim Shady Ep. Slim Shady Was Coming To Haunt Me.

Cause See They Call Me A Menace; And If The Shoe Fits I'll Wear It.

With Every Song, All The Elements Have To Work. First, The Beat Has To Be Great - You Start There. You Start With The Music, And Then The Ideas Follow. Then You Start Thinking Of Rhymes, And Then You Record It, And Sometimes - This Happens To Me A Lot - It Doesn't Come Out As Good As It Did In My Head When I First Wrote It.

But Music Is Reflection Of Self, We Just Explain It, And Then We Get Our Checks In The Mail.
