The Lyrics
Copyright/No net downloads
Two hackers in jeans go to HMV, to HMV, to HMV
Two hackers in jeans go to HMV, to HMV, to HMV
Guess it sucks, back again, Shady's tracks, protected
copyright copyright copyright copyright
I've released a new record but nobody wants to
purchase it no more they got broadband to go quicker
well if you want freebies, this is what I'll give you
a shoddy MP3 ripped straight off napster
Gnutella sucks now that we got copy protection,
a thing that we can beat with a black marker,
my computer musn't be co-operating
when this CD in the drive stops it operating.
but Celine Dion's not what my tastes in,
rappings bad, shady's new track is why we're waiting
I know that he split up with his Lady,
but his hatred for Debbie's entertaining
So the D.R.E is onto me, contacting the net's authorities
but Snoop Dogg can't shift his album for free
but it's so easy with MP3's
so come on and rip, encode this sh*t, get that,
track in your mits, and still you persist
and get ready, cause napster has gone a bit deady
they just settled in with Sony (f*ck you webbie's)
Now don't get my record for free,
Gotta pay my child support you see
and a rebel needs some controversy
so he tries to stop those MP3's
Selling millions, fans feeling envious
embarrassed as he grows fatter than Elvis
he starts eating the hamburgers helpless
another condition of you being filthy RICH!
a missionary, record sales healthy,
could make another record, a duet with Elton
it's rubbish, worse than that with Dido, a fact
and just like that you got everybody kissing your ass
it goes platinum, a mediocrity,
but still you buy this record and don't download it for free
well it's crap [batman sound thing]
radio antennae, tune it to a different station
go online and look under alt.downloads.eminem
the scent of corporations onto a winner
and still investing, more than spend on wrestling
protection on your CD's ain't working
purchase, "attention please",
feel the tension when your hard drive starts to freeze
here's my record - new computer please
engineers, bring them, bring them to me...
Now don't get my record for free,
Gotta pay my child support you see
and a rebel needs some controversy
so he tries to stop those MP3's
a tisk-it a task-it, this is the only thing,
anyone who pays a buck for this sh*t
men in Nantwich, get their Eminem fix,
prefer him to Metallicas lawyers
and Moby, your record will have only,
seen 36 more copies of play made by me,
they don't pay me, it's so cheap it's so much better,
nobody buys their own records
now lets go, give me a minute,
the new shady albums a rip-off and insult
by some dope, with laptops and utensils,
ever since falling in love with dollar symbols,
but sometimes the law just seems,
to stop everybody downloading for free,
so this must mean it's still costing record companies, cash obscene
though a failing artist can be dumped, firstly
to make way for stuff by Elvis Presley,
and sell dead artists so selflessly,
make record companies so wealthy
(hey) there's a cheap way to work,
20 million Doors "best of's" henceforth emerge
but no matter that my banks full of money,
we can't download copied MP3's
Now don't get my record for free,
Gotta pay my child support you see
and a rebel needs some controversy
so he tries to stop those MP3's
Now don't get my record for free,
Gotta pay my child support you see
and a rebel needs some controversy
so he tries to stop those MP3's
