Say What You Say Lyrics
[Em] Huh? {*echoes*} Yo Dre, WE RIDIN?
[Dre] Whatever!
[Em] Haha! Well I'm witcha homies
[Dre] Okay; let's handle the small shit
I was born to brew up storms and stir up shit
Kick up dust, CUSS 'til I slur up spit
Grew up - too quick went through too much do too much shit
Corrupt, and I'm a pour it on like syrup bitch!
Thick and rich, sick and twisted, Mr. Buttersworth
Dre told me to milk the shit for what it's worth
'til the cow just tilts and tips and stumbles to earth
{*poof*} And if I fumble the 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
Creep wit me, as we take a lil' 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 lil' 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 80 million records sold
And I ain't have to do it with ten or eleven-year-olds
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 were sprayin it
So who you playin with huh.. huh.. huh.. huh?
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 will 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 sucka punch and swing without warning
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 mill'
and grow up, to be Atilla, go nuts and be a pillar
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!)
Now anybody who knows Dre
knows I'm about fast cars and Alize, partyin all day
But I handle 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 {*clack*}
That goes for anyone who walks through that doorway
Cause this is my space, you invade it, live to regret it
and you die tryin to violate it
Fuck around, get annihilated; eyes dilated
Heh, 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 then I'm gone and I'm back
I speed right; and my looseleaf's my launchpad
And I can pull any string
Don't have to prove anything, catch a contract on your head
You headed West, talk 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 best
in the booth, but a lot of 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'll breathe to collect a fuckin check
i think that this is one of eminem's and dre's tightest songs. first off, i hate jermaine dupri, cuz he cant rap. all he does is jump in on other people's songs. he is nothing compared to true rappers
They let loose on Canibus and JD, plain and simple.
yo, yo, yo, yo, (the extent of jermaine dupris rapping ability) this song flat out says dont talk shit unless u got stuff to back it up and dont go back on what u said later when your about to get ya azz kicked yuh hurd meh!
This is one of the best songs on the CD. And I'm glad they say something about Jermaine.
And if I fumble the verse, keep goin First take, I make mistakes, just keep it No punches pulled no punches that's weak shit
does anyone who if he actually raps like this. i mean just basically freestyle and if he screws up then oh well?
Yeah.
My explanation:
how do you know you screwed up? maybe the word you were supposed to say wasn't the best. maybe the new one makes the song better. and that add a sense of realism and reality to it. if you screw up, keep going and deal with it. make it better because of it and don't try to go back and change what you think are mistakes, for they might very well be blessings in disguise. So take what happens and do your best
Yeah.

Jermaine trys so hard to rap and its so good that someone is actually straight up speaking the truth about him.He has no abbility so he does remix's and helps others. This is a GOOD song by Dre and Em.
Whoa... JD got his ass DISSED!! This is my favorite line in the whole song: "Over 80 million records sold And I ain't have to do it with ten or eleven-year-olds " What a sweet line. Go Dre!! JD can't even compare to this song.
This is one of the best songs on TES. The beat is incredible and so are the lyrics. I love, "And I'm, something of a phenom, one puff of the chron, I'm unstoppable," and the funny... "Like my old lady?" :)
What does this song mean to me...Hm, it shows me how degenerated and utterly retarded popular music has become and how we're all being sucked into a spiral of subpar rhythms and redundant beats which are tainting everyones sense of good music and making us pay a higher psychic price than we could ever imagine. Good work "Em".
Is it me, or does this song flow a lot like "The Way I Am" does?
