Cleanin' Out My Closet

[00:11.87] Where's my snare?

[00:18.38] I have no snare in my headphones

[00:21.12] There you go, yo, yo

[00:32.63] Have you ever been hated or discriminated against? I have

[00:36.37] I've been protested and demonstrated against

[00:38.87] Picket signs for my wicked rhymes, look at the times

[00:42.12] Sick as the mind of the motherfucking kid that's behind

[00:45.37] All this commotion emotions run deep as oceans exploding

[00:48.62] Tempers flaring from parents, just blow 'em off and keep going

[00:52.62] Not taking nothing from no one, give'em hell long as I'm breathing

[00:55.62] Keep kicking ass in the morning and taking names in the evening

[00:58.62] Leave 'em with a taste of sour as vinegar in their mouth

[01:01.62] See, they can trigger me, but they'll never figure me out

[01:04.63] Look at me now, I bet you're probably sick of me now

[01:07.87] Ain't you, mama? I'ma make you look so ridiculous now

[01:11.12] I'm sorry, mama

[01:14.12] I never meant to hurt you

[01:17.62] I never meant to make you cry

[01:19.87] But tonight, I'm cleanin' out my closet

[01:22.87] (One more time)

[01:24.13] I said I'm sorry, mama

[01:27.13] I never meant to hurt you

[01:30.37] I never meant to make you cry

[01:32.63] But tonight, I'm cleanin' out my closet

[01:37.37] I got some skeletons in my closet and I don't know if no one knows it

[01:41.13] So before they throw me inside my coffin and close it

[01:43.87] I'ma expose it, I'll take you back to '73

[01:46.87] Before I ever had a multi-platinum selling CD

[01:50.12] I was a baby, maybe I was just a couple of months

[01:53.37] My faggot father must have had his panties up in a bunch

[01:56.62] Cos' he split, I wonder if he even kissed me goodbye

[01:59.87] No, I don't, on second thought, I just fucking wished he would die

[02:03.37] I look at Hailie and I couldn't picture leaving her side

[02:06.38] Even if I hated Kim, I'd grit my teeth and I'd try

[02:09.88] To make it work with her, at least for Hailie's sake, I maybe made some mistakes

[02:12.62] But I'm only human, but I'm man enough to face 'em today!

[02:16.88] What I did was stupid, no doubt it was dumb

[02:19.62] But the smartest shit I did was take the bullets out of that gun

[02:22.87] Cos' I'da killed them, shit, I would shot Kim and them both

[02:25.88] This my life, I'd like to welcome ya'll to "The Eminem Show"

[02:29.13] I'm sorry, mama

[02:31.87] I never meant to hurt you

[02:34.87] I never meant to make you cry

[02:37.63] But tonight, I'm cleanin' out my closet

[02:41.13] (One more time)

[02:41.63] I said I'm sorry, mama

[02:44.88] I never meant to hurt you

[02:48.37] I never meant to make you cry

[02:50.38] But tonight, I'm cleanin' out my closet

[02:55.38] Now I would never dis my own mama just to get recognition

[02:58.37] Take a second to listen who you think this record is dissin'

[03:01.62] But put yourself in my position, just try to invision

[03:03.88] Witnessin' yo mama poppin' perscription pills in the kitchen

[03:08.38] Bitchin' that someones always goin' through her purse and shit missin'

[03:11.37] Goin' through public housing system, vitcim of Munchausen's sydrome

[03:14.62] My whole life I was made to believe I was sick when I wasn't

[03:17.88] Til I grew up, now I blew up, It makes you sick to your stomach

[03:20.63] Doesn't it?

[03:21.63] Wasn't it the reason you made that CD for me, ma?

[03:24.38] So you could try to justify the way you treated me, ma?

[03:27.63] Well guess what your getting older now and Its cold when your lonely

[03:31.12] And Nathan's growing up so quick, he's gonna know that your phony

[03:34.13] And Hailie's gettin' so big now, you should see her, she's beautiful

[03:37.13] But you'll never see her, she won't even be at your funeral!

[03:40.38] See what hurts me the most is you won't admit you was wrong

[03:43.63] Bitch, do ya song, keep telling yourself that you was a mom

[03:46.88] But how dare you try to take what you didn't help me to get?

[03:50.38] You selfish bitch, I hope you fucking burn in hell for this shit

[03:53.38] Remember when Ronnie died and you said you wished it was me?

[03:56.62] Well, guess what? I am dead, dead to you as can be!

[04:00.13] I'm sorry, mama

[04:02.88] I never meant to hurt you

[04:06.38] I never meant to make you cry

[04:08.38] But tonight, I'm cleaning' out my closet

[04:11.38] (One more time)

[04:12.63] I said I'm sorry, mama

[04:15.88] I never meant to hurt you

[04:19.13] I never meant to make you cry

[04:21.38] But tonight, I'm cleaning' out my closet
