Rhyme Or Reason

Lyrics

Yeah, yeah
 Yeah, yeah, yeah
 (What's your name?) (What's your name?) Marshall
 (Who's your daddy?) I don't have one
 My mother reproduced like a komodo dragon
 And had me on the back of a motorcycle
 Then crashed in the side of loco-motive with rap, I'm loco
 It's like handing a psycho a loaded handgun
 Michelangelo with a paint gun in a tantrum
 'Bout to explode all over the canvas
 Back with the Yoda of rap in a spasm
 Your music usually has them
 But waned for the game, your enthusiasm it hasn't
 Follow you must, Rick Rubin my little Padawan
 A Jedi in training, colossal brain and, thoughts are entertaining
 But docile and impossible to explain and, I'm also vain and
 Probably find a way to complain about a Picasso painting
 Puke Skywalker, but sound like Chewbacca when I talk
 Full of such blind rage, I need a seeing eye dog
 Can't even find the page, I was writing this rhyme on
 Oh, it's on a rampage, couldn't see what I wrote I write small
 It says ever since I drove a '79 Lincoln with white walls
 Had a fire in my heart, and a dire desire to aspire, to Die Hard
 So as long as I'm on the clock punching this time card
 Hip hop ain't dying on my watch
 But sometimes, when I'm sleepin'
 She comes to me in my dreams
 Is she taken? Is she mine?
 Don't got time, don't care, don't have two shits to give
 Let me take you by the hand to promise land
 And threaten everyone
 'Cause there's no rhyme or no reason for nothing
 Now (what's your name?) Marshall (what's your name?)
 (Who's your daddy?) (Who's your daddy?) I don't know him, but I wonder
 (Is he rich like me)
 Has he taken (has he taken), any time (any time)
 (To show) to show you what you need to live?
 No, if he had, he wouldn't have ended up in these rhymes on my pad
 I wouldn't be so mad, my attitude wouldn't be so bad, yeah, dad
 I'm the epitome and the prime example of what happens
 When the power of the rhyme falls into the wrong hands, and
 Makes you want to get up and start dancing, even if it is Charles Manson
 Who just happens to be rapping, blue lights flashing
 Laughing all the way to the bank, lampin' in my K-Mart mansion
 I'm in the style department with a pile in my car, ripping the aisle apart but
 With great power comes absolutely no responsibility for content
 Completely despondent and condescending
 The king of nonsense and controversy is on a
 Beat-killing spree, your honor, I must plead guilty
 'Cause I sparked a revolution, rebel without a cause
 Who caused the evolution of rap to take it to the next level, boost it
 But several rebuked it, and whoever produced it
 (Hip hop is the devil's music)
 Does that mean it belongs to me?
 'Cause I just happen to be a white honky devil with two horns
 That don't honk, but every time I speak you hear a beep
 But lyrically I never hear a peep, not even a whisper
 Rappers better stay clear of me, bitch, 'cause it's the-
 It's the time of the season
 When hate runs high
 And this time, I won't give it to you easy
 (When I take) when I take back what's mine with pleasured hands
 And torture everyone, that is my plan
 My job here isn't done
 'Cause there's no rhyme or no reason for nothing
 So (what's your name?) Shady
 (Who's your daddy?) I don't give a fuck, but I wonder
 (Is he rich like me?) Doubt it, ha
 Has he taken (has he taken), any time (any time)
 (To show) to show you what you need to live
 So, yeah, dad let's walk
 Let's have us a father and son talk
 But I bet we probably wouldn't get one block
 Without me knocking your block off, this is all your fault
 Maybe that's why I'm always so bananas
 I appeal to all those walks of like, whoever had strife
 Maybe that's what dad and son talks are like
 'Cause I related to the struggles of young America
 When their fucking parents were unaware of their troubles
 Now they're ripping out their fucking hair again, it's hysterical
 I chuckle, 'cause everybody bloodies their bare knuckles, yeah, uh-oh
 Better beware knuckleheads, the sign of my hustle says "Don't knock"
 The doors broken, it won't lock
 It might just fly open, get cold cocked
 You critics come pay me a visit
 Misery loves company, please stay a minute
 Kryptonite to a hypocrite
 Zip your lip if you dish it but can't take it
 Too busy getting stoned in your glass house to kick rocks
 Then you wonder why I lash out
 Mister Mathers as advertised on the flyers
 So spread the word 'cause I'm promoting my passion 'til I'm passed out
 A completely brain-dead, Rain Man
 Doing a Bankhead in a restraint chair
 So bitch, if you shoot me a look, it better be a blank stare
 Or get shanked in the pancreas
 I'm angrier than all eight of the reindeer
 Put together with Chief Keef 'cause I hate every fucking thing, yeah
 Even this rhyme, bitch
 And quit tryin' look for a fucking reason for it that ain't there
 But I still am a (criminal)
 Ten-year-old degenerate grabbing on my (genitals)
 The last Mathers LP that went diamond
 This time I'm predicting this one will go Emerald
 When will the madness end, how can it when
 There's no method to the pad and pen
 The only message that I have to sing
 Is "Dad, I'm back at it again"
 Bitch (who's your daddy?)
