Eminem - Cleaning Out My Closet

Where's my snare
i have no snare on my headphones
there you go
yeah

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 motherfucking
kid thats 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 'em hell long as i'm breathin'
keep kickin' ass in the mornin' and takin' names in the evenin'

Leavin' with a taste as sour as vinegar in their mouth
see they can trigger me but them never figure me out
look at me now i betcha 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 cleaning 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 cleaning out my closet ha

I got some skeletons in my closet
and i don't know if no one knows it
so before they thrown me inside my coffin and close it
i'mma expose it i'll take you back to '73
before i ever had a multi-platinum selling cd
i was a baby maybe i was just a couple of months

My faggot father must have 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 fucking wished he would die

I look at hailie and i couldn't picture leaving her side
even if i hated kim i grit my teeth and i'd try
to make it work with her at least for hailie's sake
i maybe made some mistakes

But i'm only human but i'm man enough to face them today
what i did was stupid no doubt it was dumb
but the smartest shit i did was take the bullets outta that gun
cause i'da killed him shit i would've shot kim and him both
it's my life i'd like to welcome y'all to the eminem show

I'm sorry momma
i never meant to hurt you
i never meant to make you cry
but tonight i'm cleaning out my closet
one more time
i said i'm sorry momma
i never meant to hurt you
i never meant to make you cry
but tonight i'm cleaning out my closet

Now i would never diss my own momma just to get recognition
take a second to listen for who you think this record is dissing
but put yourself in my position just try to envision
witnessing your momma popping prescription pills in the kitchen

Bitching that someone's always going through her purse and shit's missing
going through public housing systems victim of munchhausen's syndrome
my whole life i was made to believe i was sick when i wasn't
'til i grew up now i blew up it makes you sick to ya 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

But guess what
you're getting older now and it's cold when you're lonely
and nathan's growing up so quick he's gonna know that you're phony

And hailie'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 telling 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 fucking 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 momma
i never meant to hurt you
i never meant to make you cry
but tonight i'm cleaning out my closet
one more time
i said i'm sorry momma
i never meant to hurt you
i never meant to make you cry but tonight
i'm cleaning out my closet
