Cleaning out my Closet
[00:00.43] Cleanin Out My Closet"
[00:08.13] Where's my snare?
[00:13.97] I have no snare in my headphones. There you go
[00:21.42] Yeah... yo, yo
[00:32.83] Have you ever been hated or discriminated against?
[00:36.82] I have; I've been protested and demonstrated against
[00:40.27] Picket signs for my wicked rhymes, look at the times
[00:42.93] Sick as the mind of the motherfucking kid that's behind
[00:46.12] All this commotion emotions run deep as oceans, exploding
[00:49.83] Tempers flaring from parents just blow 'em off and keep going
[00:53.02] Not taking nothing from no one give 'em hell long as I'm breathing
[00:56.21] Keep kicking ass in the morning and taking names in the evening
[00:59.66] Leave 'em with a taste as sour as vinegar in they mouth
[01:02.32] See they can trigger me, but they'll never figure me out
[01:05.77] Look at me now; I bet you're probably sick of me now ain't you mama?
[01:10.02] I'mma make you look so ridiculous now
[01:12.41] I'm sorry mama!
[01:14.54] I never meant to hurt you!
[01:17.46] I never meant to make you cry; but tonight
[01:21.98] I'm cleaning out my closet (one more time)
[01:24.90] I said I'm sorry mama!
[01:27.82] I never meant to hurt you!
[01:31.27] I never meant to make you cry, but tonight
[01:34.46] I'm cleaning out my closet
[01:37.65] Ha! I got some skeletons in my closet
[01:40.30] And I don't know if no one knows it
[01:42.43] So before they throw me inside my coffin and close it
[01:45.08] I'mma expose it; I'll take you back to '73
[01:47.21] Before I ever had a multi-platinum-selling CD
[01:51.19] I was a baby, maybe I was just a couple of months
[01:54.39] My faggot father must have had his panties up in a bunch
[01:57.57] 'Cause he split, I wonder if he even kissed me goodbye
[02:01.02] No I don't. On second thought I just fucking wished he would die
[02:04.47] I look at Hailie, and I couldn't picture leaving her side
[02:07.13] Even if I hated Kim, I'd grit my teeth and I'd try
[02:10.85] To make it work with her at least for Hailie's sake
[02:13.24] I maybe made some mistakes
[02:14.83] But I'm only human, but I'm man enough to face them today
[02:17.76] What I did was stupid, no doubt it was dumb
[02:19.62] But the smartest shit I did was take them bullets outta that gun
[02:23.33] 'Cause I'da killed him; shit I would've shot Kim and him both
[02:27.06] It's my life, I'd like to welcome y'all to "The Eminem Show"
[02:30.51] I'm sorry mama!
[02:32.37] I never meant to hurt you!
[02:35.82] I never meant to make you cry; but tonight
[02:39.54] I'm cleaning out my closet (one more time)
[02:42.73] I said I'm sorry mama!
[02:45.91] I never meant to hurt you!
[02:49.37] I never meant to make you cry, but tonight
[02:53.35] I'm cleaning out my closet
[02:56.27] Now I would never diss my own mama just to get recognition
[02:59.20] Take a second to listen 'fore you think this record is dissing
[03:02.38] But put yourself in my position; just try to envision
[03:05.84] Witnessing your mama popping prescription pills in the kitchen
[03:09.29] Bitching that someone's always going through her purse and shit's missing
[03:12.74] Going through public housing systems, victim of Münchausen's Syndrome
[03:15.66] My whole life I was made to believe I was sick when I wasn't
[03:19.13] 'Til I grew up, now I blew up, it makes you sick to your stomach
[03:22.32] Doesn't it? Wasn't it the reason you made that CD for me Ma?
[03:25.50] So you could try to justify the way you treated me Ma?
[03:28.69] But guess what? You're getting older now and it's cold when you're lonely
[03:32.15] And Nathan's growing up so quick he's gonna know that you're phony
[03:35.33] And Hailie's getting so big now; you should see her, she's beautiful
[03:38.52] But you'll never see her, she won't even be at your funeral!
[03:41.98] See what hurts me the most is you won't admit you was wrong
[03:44.90] Bitch do your song, keep telling yourself that you was a mom!
[03:48.08] But how dare you try to take what you didn't help me to get
[03:51.80] You selfish bitch; I hope you fucking burn in hell for this shit
[03:54.72] Remember when Ronnie died and you said you wished it was me?
[03:57.91] Well guess what, I am dead, dead to you as can be!
[04:01.10] I'm sorry mama!
[04:04.02] I never meant to hurt you!
[04:06.94] I never meant to make you cry; but tonight
[04:10.40] I'm cleaning out my closet (one more time)
[04:12.79] I said I'm sorry mama!
[04:16.51] I never meant to hurt you!
[04:19.96] I never meant to make you cry, but tonight
[04:22.61] I'm cleaning out my closet
[04:49.71] I'm sorry mama!
[04:51.04] I never meant to hurt you!
[04:52.90] I never meant to make you cry; but tonight
[04:53.69] I'm cleaning out my closet (one more time)
[04:55.02] I said I'm sorry mama!
[04:55.82] I never meant to hurt you!
[04:56.62] I never meant to make you cry, but tonight
[04:57.15] I'm cleaning out my closet
