Eminem - Who Knew Lyrics






I never knew I..
I never knew I..
Mic check one-two
I never knew I..
Who woulda knew?
I never knew I..
Who'da known?
I never knew I..
Fuck would've thought
I never knew I..
Motherfucker comes out
I never knew I..
and sells a couple of million records
I never knew I..
And these motherfuckers hit the ceiling
I never knew I..

[Eminem]
I don't do black music, I don't do white music
I make fight music, for high school kids
I put lives at risk when I drive like this {*tires screech*}
I put wives at risk with a knife like this (AHHH!!)
Shit, you probably think I'm in your tape deck now
I'm in the back seat of your truck, with duct tape stretched out
Ducked the fuck way down, waitin to straight jump out
put it over your mouth, and grab you by the face, what now?
Oh - you want me to watch my mouth, how?
Take my fuckin eyeballs out, and turn em around?
Look - I'll burn your fuckin house down, circle around
and hit the hydrant, so you can't put your burning furniture out
(Oh my God! Oh my God!) I'm sorry, there must be a mix-up
You want me to fix up lyrics while the President gets his dick sucked?
[*ewwww*] Fuck that, take drugs, rape sluts
Make fun of gay clubs, men who wear make-up
Get aware, wake up, get a sense of humor
Quit tryin to censor music, this is for your kid's amusement
(The kids!) But don't blame me when lil' Eric jumps off of the terrace
You shoulda been watchin him - apparently you ain't parents

[Chorus: Eminem]

Cause I never knew I, knew I would get this big
I never knew I, knew I'd effect this kid
I never knew I'd, get him to slit his wrist
I never knew I'd, get him to hit this bitch
I never knew I, knew I would get this big
I never knew I, knew I'd effect this kid
I never knew I'd, get him to slit his wrist
I never knew I'd, get him to hit this bitch

[Eminem]
So who's bringin the guns in this country? (Hmm?)
I couldn't sneak a plastic pellet gun through customs over in London
And last week, I seen a Schwarzaneggar movie
where he's shootin all sorts of these motherfuckers with a uzi
I sees three little kids, up in the front row,
screamin "Go," with their 17-year-old Uncle
I'm like, "Guidance - ain't they got the same moms and dads
who got mad when I asked if they liked violence?"
And told me that my tape taught 'em to swear
What about the make-up you allow your 12-year-old daughter to wear?
(Hmm?) So tell me that your son doesn't know any cuss words
when his bus driver's screamin at him, fuckin him up worse
("Go sit the fuck down, you little fuckin prick!")
And fuck was the first word I ever learned
up in the third grade, flippin the gym teacher the bird (Look!)
So read up, about how I used to get beat up
peed on, be on free lunch, and change school every 3 months
My life's like kinda what my wife's like (what?)
Fucked up after I beat her fuckin ass every night, Ike
So how much easier would life be
if 19 million motherfuckers grew to be just like me?

[Chorus]

[Eminem]
I never knew I.. knew I'd..
have a new house or a new car
A couple years ago I was more poorer than you are
I don't got that bad of a mouth, do I?
Fuck shit ass bitch cunt, shooby-de-doo-wop (what?)
Skibbedy-be-bop, a-Christopher Reeves
Sonny Bono, skis horses and hittin some trees (HEY!)
How many retards'll listen to me
and run up in the school shootin when they're pissed at a
teach-er, her, him, is it you is it them?
"Wasn't me, Slim Shady said to do it again!"
Damn! How much damage can you do with a pen?
Man I'm just as fucked up as you woulda been
if you woulda been, in my shoes, who woulda thought
Slim Shady would be somethin that you woulda bought
that woulda made you get a gun and shoot at a cop
I just said it - I ain't know if you'd do it or not

[Chorus]

[Eminem]
How the fuck was I supposed to know?

  36. R.... S....

    Still one of my favorite tracks from his sophomore album.
    And even to this day, there's only a slim list of rappers who can spit rhymes better than this crazy white boy
    And I will say this, once Slim started getting all political, I lost interest.
    This version of Em I will never get tired of.

  37. S.... S....

    apparently you ain't parents.

  38. C.... B....

    I honestly will never forget the first time i ever heard this album (by accident) at my mums friends house. I remember how i was sitting, where the stereo was placed and falling in love with poetry all over again. Still until this day...im 29, i listen to tracks from this album every day. My feelings for this album:
    I love you to today, more than yesterday and never as much as tomorrow. 💜

  51. M.... A....

    The lyrics in this are pure genius and the beat is just class one of my all time favourites by Eminem.

  52. P.... P....

    They say a interpersonal person reaps the minds of his innercircle. People are so worldwide they forget to curl wife. The value of antipsychotics is a samuri knife coffin. The bloody chaotic is cussing shame honest. The mind supersonic shines lunar optics. I boost her Godess. Love cuter flawless. I mood her glosses. She glows brighter than jewler options. Her sparkle inside her eyes like a queen smoother spotless. I use her songless. I sing newer thoughtless. Our love view her softness. Our albums match even through her love she forgotten. I am he forelogic. He whom loves forevermore. Angels fly lord cleaver soar into heavens doors better force. The ocean shore weather more wind pressure vortex verse course. Musical intercourse. That's how musicians fall in love with her more. The beautiful sounds crucial found manuvor useable vowels. A marriage vow into heart parish now. we forever share this commitment now untill we die fairness loud. That's real a male and female cherrish down. Match us as our sounds share this heartpound.

  53. P.... P....

    International with weapon innerpractiable with love innertactical with her imaginable autobiography consol write flow happy untolerable unfatherable unbotherable upsolderable love spot her unroll her face unmonsterable. We are controversy. We monomercy. She is allhope blurry. We all know worthy. They heavenly ancestory with musically accessory. I love letter me with her hug set her squeeze love memories. Her love enormously. We enforce strictly. Her face in red electricity. We reject within me. I detect vision peace. Her eyes event tickets we. A lovable concert. I am custom flow off her. I upfront glow honnor. I kiss her anonymously. I miss her fast cautious in me. This is how females chat talk infintitely. The asphalt inflict we. The time spent innerglobal conection. A picture photo love tempted.

  54. A.... K....

    Eminem is the fucking goat.

  55. O.... ....

    Thank god eminem wasn't big in todays day, his songs would hurt so many snowflakes - Imagine if social media was around in early 2000's.... Kinda glad I grew up without all that shit, and we just got on with it and enjoyed this mans songs and didn't take too much offense from his lyrics
