The way I Am

[IcedSlim Shady]

Hello o.O some years ago i searched online for the way i am's lyrics and i found something new. I read that this song is written in a particular sistem of lyric. I don't remember the name but if i'm not wrong was something connecting with greek lyrics O.O anybody know something? Cuz i'm quite sure that there is something particular in these lyrics..

Maybe its like the way Shakespear wrote his plays with different stresses

it's called 'rhyme'. nothing special about it.

Move along people, nothing to see here.

I'm pretty sure the thing OP's asking is that in The Way I Am, Em uses 12 syllables in every line.

I hope you feel like a jackass now you fucking prick asshole bitch cunt whore hating faggot.

Back on topic, Eminem is a genius. I never realized the stress that he put on like every other word. It sounds so good, just another example of his lyrical poetic genius.
