Heart of Steel

Prometeo Liberado

Act 1...

[door creaks open]
[background music "What's The Difference" by Dr. Dre]

[Eminem] 'eyyy!
[Steve] Hey Em, what's up?
[Eminem] Steve Berman. What's goin' on, man, how you doin'?
Good to see you again. What's up?
[Steve] Em, could you come in here and have a seat, please?
[Eminem] Umm, yeah, what's...
[Steve] Vanessa? Shut the door
[Vanessa] Okay [door creaks shut]
[Eminem] So what's up? How's orders looking for the first week?
[Steve] It would be better if you gave me nothing at all
[Eminem] Wh...
[Steve] This album is less than nothing. I can't sell this fucking record
[Eminem] Wha...
[Steve] Do you know what's happening to me out there?
[Eminem] Wh-wha-what's the problem?
[Steve] Violent Ground told me to go fuck myself!
[Eminem] Who's Violent...?
[Steve] Tower Records told me to shove this record up my ass!
Do you know what it feels like
to be told to have a record shoved up your ass?
[Eminem] But, I...
[Steve] I'm gonna lose my fuckin' job over this
You know why Dre's record was so successful?
He's rappin' about big-screen T.V.s, blunts, 40's and bitches.
You're rappin' about homosexuals and Vicadin
[Eminem] I mean-
[Steve] I can't sell this shit!
[Eminem] What...
[Steve] Either change the record or it's not coming out!
[Eminem] What, I...
[Steve] Now get the fuck out of my office!
[Eminem] What am I supposed...
[Steve] NOW!
[Eminem] Alright man.... whatever...
Dre, just let it run
Aiyyo turn the beat up a little bit
Aiyyo... this song is for anyone... fuck it
Just shut up and listen, aiyyo...

I sit back with this pack of Zig Zags and this bag
Of this weed it gives me the shit needed to be
The most meanest MC on this - on this Earth
And since birth I've been cursed with this curse to just curse
And just blurt this berserk and bizarre shit that works
And it sells and it helps in itself to relieve
All this tension dispensing these sentences
Getting this stress that's been eating me recently off of this chest
And I rest again peacefully (peacefully)...
But at least have the decency in you
To leave me alone, when you freaks see me out
In the streets when I'm eating or feeding my daughter
Do not come and speak to me (speak to me)...
I don't know you and no,
I don't owe you a motherfucking thing
I'm not Mr. N'Sync, I'm not what your friends think
I'm not Mr. Friendly, I can be a prick
If you tick me my tank is on empty (is on empty)...
No patience is in me and if you offend me
I'm lifting you 10 feet (lifting you 10 feet)... in the air
I don't care who was there and who saw me destroy you
Go call you a lawyer, file you a lawsuit
I'll smile in the courtroom and buy you a wardrobe
I'm tired of all you (of all you)...
I don't mean to be mean but that's all I can be is just me

[Chorus:]
And I am, whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news everyday I am
Radio won't even play my jam
'Cause I am, whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news everyday I am
I don't know it's just the way I am

Sometimes I just feel like my father,
I hate to be bothered
With all of this nonsense it's constant
And, "Oh, it's his lyrical content -
- the song 'Guilty Conscience' has gotten such rotten responses"
And all of this controversy circles me
And it seems like the media immediately
Points a finger at me (finger at me)...
So I point one back at 'em, but not the index or pinkie
Or the ring or the thumb, it's the one you put up
When you don't give a fuck, when you won't just put up
With the bullshit they pull, 'cause they full of shit too
When a dude's getting bullied and shoots up his school
And they blame it on Marilyn (on Marilyn)... and the heroin
Where were the parents at? And look where it's at
Middle America, now it's a tragedy
Now it's so sad to see, an upper class city
Having this happening (this happening)...
Then attack Eminem 'cause I rap this way (rap this way)...
But I'm glad 'cause they feed me the fuel that I need for the fire
To burn and it's burning and I have returned

[Chorus:]
And I am, whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news everyday I am
Radio won't even play my jam
'Cause I am, whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news everyday I am
I don't know it's just the way I am

I'm so sick and tired of being admired
That I wish that I would just die or get fired
And dropped from my label, let's stop with the fables
I'm not gonna be able to top on "My Name is... "
And pigeon-holed into some pop-py sensation
That got me rotation at rock'n'roll stations
And I just do not got the patience (got the patience)...
To deal with these cocky Caucasians who think
I'm some wigger who just tries to be black 'cause I talk
With an accent, and grab on my balls, so they always keep asking
The same fucking questions (fucking questions)...
What school did I go to, what hood I grew up in
The why, the who what when, the where, and the how
'Til I'm grabbing my hair and I'm tearing it out
'Cause they driving me crazy (driving me crazy)... I can't take it
I'm racing, I'm pacing, I stand and I sit
And I'm thankful for every fan that I get
But I can't take a shit, in the bathroom
Without someone standing by it
No I won't sign your autograph
You can call me an asshole I'm glad

[Chorus:]
'Cause I am, whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news everyday I am
Radio won't even play my jam
'Cause I am, whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news everyday I am
I don't know it's just the way I am

Life's an act...

...crying in the rain...

A black cat moans
When he's burning with the fever
A stray dog howls
When he's lonely in the night
A woman goes crazy
With the though of retribution
But, a man starts weeping
When he's sick and tired of life

I keep on dreaming dreams of tomorrow
Feel I'm wasting my time
Lighting candles in the wind,
Always taking my chances
On the promise of the future
But, a heart full of sorrow
Paints a lonely tapestry

The sun is shining
But, it's raining in my heart

No one understands the heartache,
No one feels the pain,
Cause no one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
Crying in the rain

I can never deny
All the sweet things I have tasted
Tho' I've been mistreated
I keep coming back for more,
I know where I'm going
There's no hope of absolution
I can't seem to separate
The good times from the bad

The sun is shining
But, it's raining in my heart

No one understands the heartache,
No one feels the pain,
Cause no one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain

The sun is shining
But, it's raining in my heart

No one understands the heartache,
No one feels the pain,
Cause no one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain

Crying in the rain

Gràcies Keith

Dedicat al meu fill, que està a punt de néixer

Així que quan sentiu aquesta gravació, el meu fill haurá nascut

I l'hi he d'ensenyar sobre la vida

Escolta, al meu petit home

Mai tinguis petits plans

Sempre porta el teu joc directe, talla als homes mediocres

La vida está plena de sacrificis, per la veritat haurás de lluitar

Algú et pot tombar

Perquè ells no viuen de manera correcte

Estigues segur d'utilitzar la teva ment

Busca tots els signes, yo

No vulguis fer un moviment massa ràpid per després quedar-te enrere

Reacciona davant qualsevol cosa que et trobis

Aprecia les benediccions fill, veuràs cap a on et porten

Aconseguint els teus objectius, mantén el control

El respecte a tu mateix t'ajuda a protegir l'ànima

Mai abandonis, estigues sempre llest per a intentar-ho

Camina el teu propi camí, i manté el cap aixecat al cel

Petita coseta, aquí estàs

Mirant-me amb aquests ulls de bebé

Tot lo que fas és dormir, menjar i plorar

Però algun dia em preguntaràs perquè

Tot lo que sé, t'ho explicaré aquesta nit

Qualsevol cosa que no sàpiga, la descobriràs

Perquè viure és aprendre, i aprendre és viure

Y després passes el testimoni

I per als meus amics íntims, que entenen clarament

Què es necessita per a ser un home, i què significa ser pare de familia

Els altibaixos de la vida i les decisions que fem

Ens fan revaluar les direccions que prenem

Estar dret al club és diversió embogida, fins que actuen com estúpids

I tothom encara porta armes a sobre

Ara és temps per a nosaltres de separar els mediocres dels grans

Guarda't tots el jokers de la partida

Jo ja he jugat la meva posició, perquè no jugues tu la teva?

He pres les meves decisions, recorda que tu has de prendre les teves

La meva vida ha canviat ara, perquè tinc un enano

Responsabilitats boixes, és com si ara estigués sempre per a tu

Totes les noies joves volen ballar, la meva dona diu que vol un anell

Em pregunto lo que portaràn els nous dies

Hem de viure i lluitar per a causes justes, estar llest per morir

T'estimo nen, així que manté el cap ben alt

Petita coseta, aquí estàs

Mirant-me amb aquests ulls de bebé

Tot lo que fas es dormir, menjar i plorar

Però algun dia em preguntaràs perquè

Tot lo que sé t'ho explicaré aquesta nit

Qualsevol cosa que no sàpiga, la descobriràs tu

Perquè viure és aprendre, i aprendre és viure

Y després passes el testimoni

Bebé, sabies

des de que vas caure del cel

Has fet que vulgui créixer

Així que ho compartiré tot amb tu

Fes que les nenes i els nens creixin per a ser reis i reines

Petita coseta, aquí estàs

Mirant-me amb aquests ulls de bebé

Tot lo que fas es dormir, menjar i plorar

Però algun dia em preguntaràs perquè

Tot lo que sé t'ho explicaré aquesta nit

Qualsevol cosa que no sàpiga, la descobriràs tu

Perquè viure és aprendre, i aprendre és viure

Y després passes el testimoni
