My Name Is (explicit)

~ Recording by Eminem

Annotation

This is the recording of the revised work that appears on explicit editions of The Slim Shady LP.

The lyrics differ from the original in a few places, but this version can be identified by the following lyrics at the start of the second verse (lyrics which differ from other versions are in bold):

My English teacher wanted to flunk me in junior high
Thanks a lot, next semester I'll be 35
I smacked him in his face with an eraser, chased him with a stapler
And stapled his nuts to a stack of paper
