[Intro: Eminem]
I think one of my greatest inspirations or things that I would feed off of
Basically was just, obviously people not believing
And the cloud of doubt, that kind of I felt hung over my head
I wanted to make it
Wanted to just prove everybody wrong

[Verse 1: Eminem]
I used to be the type of kid
That would always think the sky is falling
Why am I so differently wired? Am I a martian?
What kind of twisted experiment am I involved in?
‘Cause I don't belong in this world
That's why I'm scoffing at authority, defiant often
Flying off at the handle at my mom
No dad, so I am non-compliant at home
At school I'm just shy and awkward
And I don't need no goddamn psychologist
Tryna diagnose why I have all these underlying problems
Thinking he can try and solve 'em
I'm outside chalking up drawings
On the sidewalk and in the front drive talking
To myself, either that or inside hiding off in
The corner somewhere quiet, trying not to
Be noticed ‘cause I'm crying and sobbing
I had a bad day at school so I ain't talking
Some cocksucker shoved me into a fucking locker
‘Cause he said that I eye-balled him

[Pre-Chorus: Eminem]
I used to be the type of kid
That would always think the sky is falling
I used to be the type of kid
That would always think the sky is falling

[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
Forgetting, all the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well
Pretending, someone else
Can come and save me from myself
Forgetting, all the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well
I can't be who you are, I can't be who you are


[Verse 2: Eminem]
I used to be the type of kid that would always think the sky's falling
Why am I so differently wired in my noggin?
‘Cause sporadic as my thoughts come, it's mind-boggling
‘Cause I obsess on everything in my mind, small shit
Bothers me, but not my father, he said sayonara
Then split, but I don’t give a shit
I'm fine long as there's batteries in my Walkman
Nothing is the matter with me
Shit, look on the bright side, at least I ain't walking
I bike ride through the neighborhood of my apartment
Complex on a ten-speed which I've acquired parts that
I find in the garbage, a frame, then put tires on it
Headphones on, look straight ahead if kids try and start shit
But if this is all there is for me, life offers
Why bother even trying to put up a fight? It's nonsense
But I think a light bulb just lit up in my conscience
What about them rhymes I've been jotting?
They are kind of giving me confidence
Instead of trying to escape through my comics
Why don't I just blast a little something like Onyx?
To put me in the mood to wanna fight and write songs that
Say what I wanna say to the kid that said that I eye-balled him
Grab hold of my balls, like, "That's right, fight's on, bitch!"
Who woulda knew, from the moment I turned the mic on, that
I could be iconic in my conquest?
That's word to Phife Dawg from A Tribe Called Quest

[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
Forgetting, all the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well
Pretending, someone else
Can come and save me from myself
Forgetting, all the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well
I can't be who you are, I can't be who you are

[Bridge: Chester Bennington & Eminem]
I used to be the type of kid that would always think the sky's falling
(I can't be who you are)
I used to be the type of kid that would always think the sky's falling
(I can't be who you are)

[Outro: Chester Bennington]
I can't be who you are
I can't be who you are
I can't be who you are
I can't be who you are
