Eminem - The Apple Lyrics

[Bridge:]
I'm a little nutty and I know it
But if you go back and take a look at my history... (history!)
You will see that I'm not the only one
Who's off his rocker, there were many before me... (me!)
I was always labelled the black sheep of the family
What a bad seed I grow to be... (be!)
But if you take a look at us now, you'll see
That the apple didn't fall too far from the tree... [beat starts]

[Intro:]
Haha, haha, haha, haha!
Aight, look!
I'm a tell you the story from my side...
Maybe you'll understand.
Check it out!

[Verse 1:]
You done witnessed unexplainable shit - too insane to explain,
People run from what they just don't get.
Maybe Shady shoulda just hit 'em with a little bit.
Did I speak too soon? Should I have spoon fed 'em it?
But I was just so eager to prove, I was even worth
Being in the same league or the room
Of the people of whom I was in.
Everynow and then, I look up like I was seekin' approval!
Was it because of the pigment on my skin
Or was it the figment of my imagination? (ha!)
Maybe it bothered me more then it did them!
Maybe it wasn't a big deal back then!
But - to me it was, see what it was.
Was I had developed a complex from being judged?
Proof spit his verse, so I'm next, let's see who bust!
I'm in the booth, starin' back to see who's mugs!
I get a reaction FROM - usually the first THUMB
Was from Proof and the rest of the group - backed him up.
And noone lied to each other cause none of us had deals,
It was real! - We just wanted tickets for that meal! (MEAL!)

[Chorus:]
Sometimes I feel like it's just me,
Sometimes I feel like I'm goin' crazy.
But take a look at my family
Cause - the apple don't fall too far from the tree.

I said - sometimes I feel like it's just me,
Sometimes I feel like I'm goin' crazy.
But take a look at my family
Cause - the apple don't fall too far from the tree.

[Verse 2:]
Ever since my mother was pregnant - with a second egg
Cause she said that I had a baby sister
Who fell outta the window, I was too young to remember
Kansas City projects. - I was like 5-6
And how come - I remember Malcolm, - Isaac and Boogie
If it was the projects in Missouri?!
Cause those were my best friends, until Isaac
Took my tricycle, and my Uncle Todd went to try to go get it back.
And ended up gettin' jumped, and cut in the gut
With a switch and - 70-some stitches.
Which is - to this day, when my mother still tries to show me
Some more fake pictures - of a fictitious
Little sister - who never existed
And this is why part of my life is so twisted!
But I can never be as sick as that bitch is
And, by the way, that picture is one of my relatives!

[Chorus]

[Verse 3:]
You pro'ly have to peel back layers upon layers of pain
To see why everything I say is so insane.
What's different about my brain
That seperates me from other players in this game?
On the surface it may seem like a scheme
Or some sort of scam for me to get some damn sympathy!
But - that's the last thing I need
Is for people to walk around feelin' sorry for me! (ME!)
And I am not a G, never claimed to be,
I gave my vest to Ca$his, just hope he - don't need it more than me!
But we will see! - Cause we ain't lookin' for beef
But if it comes our way, what do we turn? The other cheek? - Come on...

[Chorus]

[Outro:]
Haha!
Yeah!
And I'm the crazy one, right?
WHATEVER!
THEN LET ME BE THE CRAZY ONE!
[Bunch of baby lip hitting shit]
Hahaha!
CUCKOOO!
CUCKOOO!
TWEEET!
Ha-haha!
