(speaking)
Where’s my snare
I have no snare on my headphones
There you go
Yeah... yo, yo
(rapping)
Have you ever been hated or
discriminated against
I have, I’ve been protested and
demonstrated against
Picket signs for my wicked rhymes, look
at the times
Sick as the mind of the
motherfuckin’ kid that’s behind
All this commotion, emotions run deep
as oceans explodin’
Tempers flarin’ from parents, just blow ‘em off and
keep goin’
Not takin’ nothin’ from no one, give them hell long as
I’m breathin’
Keep kickin’ ass in the mornin’, and takin’
names in the evenin’
Leavin’ with the taste as sour as vinegar in they mouth
See, they can trigger me, but they’ll never figure me out
Look at me now, I bet you’re probably sick of me now
Ain’t you mama, I’ma make you look so ridiculous now
I’m sorry, mama
I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to make you cry, but tonight, I’m
cleanin’ out my closet
One more time
I said I’m sorry, mama
I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to make you cry, but tonight, I’m
cleanin’ out my closet... ha
I got some skeletons in my closet
And I don’t know if no one knows it so
Before they throw me inside my coffin and close it --
I’ma expose it
I’ll take you back to ‘73
Before I ever had a multi-platinum-sellin’ CD
I was a baby, maybe I was just a couple of months
My faggot father must’ve had his panties up in a bunch
‘Cause he split – I wonder if he even kissed me
goodbye
No, I don’t on second thought, I just fuckin’ wished
he would die
I look at Haley, and I couldn’t picture leavin’ her
side
Even if I hated Kim, I grit my teeth and I tried
To make it work with her, at least for Haley’s sake
I maybe made some mistakes, but I’m only human
But I’m man enough to face ‘em today
What I did was stupid, no doubt it was dumb
But the smartest shit I did was take the bullets out of that gun
‘Cause I’d have killed ‘em, shit, I
would’ve shot Kim and ‘em both
It’s my life, I’d like to welcome y’all to The
Eminem Show
I’m sorry, mama
I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to make you cry, but tonight, I’m
cleanin’ out my closet
One more time
I said I’m sorry, mama
I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to make you cry, but tonight, I’m
cleanin’ out my closet... huh
Now, I would never diss my own mama just to get recognition
Take a second to listen, for who you think this record is
dissin’
But put yourself in my position, just try to envision
Witnessing your mama poppin’ prescription pills in the
kitchen
Bitchin’ that someone’s always goin’ through her
purse and shit’s missin’
Goin’ through public housing systems, victim of Munchausen's
Syndrome
My whole life I was made to believe I was sick when I wasn’t
Till I grew up, now I blew up, it makes you sick to your stomach
– doesn’t it
Wasn’t it the reason you made that CD for me, ma
So you could try to justify the way you treated me, ma
Well, guess what – you’re getting’ older now and
it’s cold when you’re lonely
And Nathan’s growin’ up so quick, he’s gonna
know that you’re phony
And Haley’s getting’ so big now, you should see her
– she’s beautiful
But you’ll never see her, she won’t even be at your
funeral
See, what hurts me the most is you won’t admit you was wrong
Bitch, do your song, keep tellin’ yourself that you was a
mom
But how dare you try to take what you didn’t help me to get
You selfish bitch, I hope you fuckin’ burn in hell for this
shit
Remember when Ronnie died and you said you wished it was me
Well, guess what – I am dead, dead to you as can be
I’m sorry, mama
I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to make you cry, but tonight, I’m
cleanin’ out my closet
One more time
I said I’m sorry, mama
I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to make you cry, but tonight, I’m
cleanin’ out my closet
