JAY-Z, Eminem - Renegade lyrics

Motherfuckers say that I'm foolish
I only talk about jewels (Bling-bling)
Do you fools listen to music or
Do you just skim through it?
See, I'm influenced by the ghetto you ruined
The same dude you gave nothin'
I made somethin' doin'
What I do through and through and
I give you the news with a twist
It's just his ghetto point of view
The renegade
You been afraid I penetrate pop culture
Bring 'em a lot closer to the
Block where they pop toasters
And they live with they moms
Got dropped roadsters
From botched robberies, niggas crouched over
Mami's knocked up 'cause she
Wasn't watched over
Knocked down by some clown
When child support knocked, "No


He's not around"
Now, how that sound to ya? Jot it down
I bring you through the
Ghetto without ridin' 'round hidin' down
Duckin' strays from frustrated youths
Stuck in they ways
Just read a magazine that fucked up my day
How you rate music that thugs
With nothin' relate to it?
I help them see they way through it, not you
Can't step in my pants
Can't walk in my shoes
Bet everything you worth
You'll lose your tie and your shirt

Since I'm in a position to talk
To these kids and they listen
I ain't no politician
But I'll kick it with 'em a minute
'Cause see, they call me a menace
And if the shoe fit's, i'll wear it
But if it don't, then
Y'all'll swallow the truth, grin and bear it
Now who's the king of these rude, ludicrous
Lucrative lyrics?
Who could inherit the title
Put the youth in hysterics
Usin' his music to steer it
Sharin' his views and his merit's?
But there's a huge interference
They're sayin' you shouldn't hear it
Maybe it's hatred I spew
Maybe it's food for the spirit
Maybe it's beautiful music I made
For you to just cherish
But I'm debated, disputed
Hated and viewed in America
As a motherfuckin' drug addict
Like you didn't experiment? Now, now
That's when you start to stare
At who's in the mirror
And see yourself as a kid again
And you get embarrassed
And I got nothin' to do but
Make you look stupid as parents
You fuckin' do-gooders
Too bad you couldn't do good at marriage
(Haha) and do you have any clue what I
Had to do to get here? I don't think you do
So stay tuned and keep your
Ears glued to the stereo 'Cause here we go
He's Jigga-Jur-Jigga-Jih-Jigga
And I'm the sinister Mr kiss-My-Ass is just a

Renegade, never been afraid to say
What's on my mind at any given time of day
'Cause I'm a renegade
Never been afraid to talk about anything
(Anything?) , anything (Anything)
Renegade, never been afraid to say
What's on my mind at any given time of day
'Cause I'm a renegade
Never been afraid to holler about anything
(Anything?) , anything (Anything)

I had to hustle, my back to the wall
Ashy knuckles
Pockets filled with a lotta lint, not a cent
Gotta vent, lotta innocent lives lost on
The project bench
What you hollerin'? Gotta pay rent
Bring dollars in
By the bodega, iron under my coat
Feelin' braver durag wrappin' my waves up
Pockets full of hope do not step to me
I'm awkward, I box lefty
An orphan, my pops left me
And often my mama wasn't home
Could not stress to me, I wasn't grown
'Specially on nights I brought somethin' home
To quiet the stomach rumblings
My demeanor thirty years my senior
My childhood didn't mean much
Only raisin' green up
Raisin' my fingers to critics
Raisin' my head to the sky
Big, I did it, multi before I die
No lie, just know I chose my own fate
I drove by the fork in
The road and went straight

See, I'm a poet to some
A regular modern day Shakespeare
Jesus Christ
The king of these Latter day Saints here
To shatter the picture in which of
That as they paint me as
A monger of hate, satanist
Scatter-brained atheist
But that ain't the case, see
It's a matter of taste
We as a people decide if Shady's as
Bad as they say he is
Or is he the latter, a gateway to escape?
Media scapegoat who they can be mad at today
See, it's as easy as cake
Simple as whistlin' "Dixie"
While I'm wavin' the pistol at
Sixty Christians against me
Go to war with the Mormons
Take a bath with the Catholics
In holy water
No wonder they tried to hold me under longer
I'm a motherfuckin' spiteful
Delightful eyeful the new Ice Cube
Motherfuckers hate to like you
What did I do?
(Huh?) , I'm just a kid from the gutter
Makin' his butter off these bloodsuckers
'cause I'm a motherfuckin'

Renegade, never been afraid to say
What's on my mind at any given time of day
'Cause I'm a renegade
Never been afraid to talk about anything
(Anything?) , anything (Anything)
Renegade, never been afraid to say
What's on my mind at any given time of day
