The Way That I Am is the second album by American country music singer Martina McBride, released in 1993 by RCA Records. It was certified Platinum on May 15, 1995 by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

a large burden on Eminem, who recalled, "I was scared to death. I wanted to be successful, but before anything, I want respect."
