"Cleanin Out My Closet" 
                      
                    
                        Where's my snare? 
                        I have no snare in my headphones - there you go 
                        Yeah... yo, yo 
                         
                        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 that's behind 
                        All this commotion emotions run deep as ocean's exploding 
                        Tempers flaring from parents just blow 'em off and keep going 
                        Not taking nothing from no one give 'em hell long as I'm breathing 
                        Keep kicking ass in the morning and taking names in the evening 
                        Leave 'em with a 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 ya probably sick of me now ain't you momma? 
                        I'mma make you look so ridiculous now 
                         
                        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 
                         
                        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 
                         
                        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
