6. For the freedom of speech
7. The United States government has sworn to uphold
8. (Yo, I want everybody to listen to the words of this song)
9. Or so we're told
10. I never would've dreamed in a million years I'd see
11. So many motherfuckin' people who feel like me
12. Who share the same views and the same exact beliefs
13. It's like a fucking army marching in back of me
14. So many lives I touched, so much anger aimed
15. In no particular direction, just sprays and sprays
16. And straight through your radio waves, it plays and plays
17. 'Til it stays stuck in your head, for days and days
18. Who would've thought, standing in this mirror, bleaching my hair
19. With some peroxide, reaching for a t-shirt to wear
20. That I would catapult to the forefront of rap like this?
21. How could I predict my words would have an impact like this?
22. I must've struck a chord with somebody up in the office
23. 'Cause Congress keep telling me I ain't causing nothin' but problems
24. And now they're saying I'm in trouble with the government

37. Make ladies swoon, baby (ooh, baby)
38. Look at my sales
39. Let's do the math, if I was black, I woulda sold half
40. I ain't have to graduate from Lincoln High School to know that
41. But I could rap, so fuck school, I'm too cool to go back
42. Give me the mic, show me where the fucking studio's at
43. When I was underground no one gave a fuck I was white
44. No labels wanted to sign me, almost gave up, I was like
45. "Fuck it, " until I met Dre, the only one to look past
46. Gave me a chance and I lit a fire up under his ass
47. Helped him get back to the top, every fan black that I got
48. Was probably his in exchange for every white fan that he's got

62. 'Til I created so much motherfucking turbulence
63. Straight out the tube, right into your living rooms I came
64. And kids flipped when they knew I was produced by Dre
65. That's all it took, and they were instantly hooked right in
66. And they connected with me too, because I looked like them
67. That's why they put my lyrics up under this microscope
68. Searching with a fine tooth comb, it's like this rope
69. Waiting to choke, tightening around my throat
70. Watching me while I write this, like, "I don't like this note"
71. All I hear is, lyrics, lyrics, constant controversy
72. Sponsors working round the clock to try to stop my concerts early
