On that album, Eminem's game manager leaves a message asking if he could tone down the violence in order to make the album more palatable to record companies. On The Marshall Mathers LP, he game calls once again, and begins to make a similar request, only to end suddenly with "Ah, fuck it" and a dial tone. This segues directly into the song, which is one of many on the album about fame and being game a celebrity. Eminem raps about how and why he became famous. In the chorus, Eminem expresses his own doubts and insecurities about his celebrity and his unintentional role model status. "Cause I never knew I, knew I would get this big I never knew I, knew I'd affect this kid I never knew I'd, get him to slit his wrist I never knew I'd, get him to hit this bitch The verses discuss in greater detail how Eminem has become famous and why. Perhaps the simplest explanation exists in the first two lines: "I don't do black music, I don't do white music/I make fight music, for high school kids". Disenchanted youth of all racial and ethnic backgrounds connected with the macabre, humorous lyrics in The Slim Shady LP.
