[Intro]
~#**************#~
Wheres my snare?
~#**************#~
I have no snare in my headphones
~#**************#~
There you go
~#**************#~
Yeah
~#**************#~
Yo, yo
~#**************#~
[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
Have you ever been hated or discriminated against?
~#**************#~
I have, I been protested and demonstrated against
~#**************#~
Picket signs for my wicked rhymes, look at the times
~#**************#~
Sick is the mind of the motherfuckin 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 Im breathin
~#**************#~
Keep kickin ass in the morning and takin names in the evenin
~#**************#~
Leave em with a taste as sour as vinegar in they mouth
~#**************#~
See, they can trigger me, but theyll never figure me out
~#**************#~
Look at me now! I bet youre prolly sick of me now
~#**************#~
Aint you, Mama? Ima make you look so ridiculous now!
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Im sorry, Mama
~#**************#~
I never meant to hurt you
~#**************#~
I never meant to make you cry
~#**************#~
But tonight Im cleanin out my closet (One more time!)
~#**************#~
I said Im sorry, Mama
~#**************#~
I never meant to hurt you
~#**************#~
I never meant to make you cry
~#**************#~
But tonight Im cleanin out my closet (Ha!)
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
I got some skeletons in my closet and I dont know if no one knows it
~#**************#~
So before they throw me inside my coffin and close it
~#**************#~
Ima expose it; Ill 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 mustve had his panties up in a bunch
~#**************#~
‘Cause he split, I wonder if he even kissed me goodbye
~#**************#~
No, I dont, on second thought, I just fuckin wished he would die
~#**************#~
I look at Hailie, and I couldnt picture leavin her side
~#**************#~
Even if I hated Kim, Id grit my teeth and Id try
~#**************#~
To make it work with her at least for Hailies sake, I maybe made some mistakes
~#**************#~
But Im only human, but Im 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 Ida killed em, shit, I woulda shot Kim and him both
~#**************#~
Its my life, Id like to welcome yall to The Eminem Show
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Im sorry, Mama
~#**************#~
I never meant to hurt you
~#**************#~
I never meant to make you cry
~#**************#~
But tonight Im cleanin out my closet (One more time!)
~#**************#~
I said Im sorry, Mama
~#**************#~
I never meant to hurt you
~#**************#~
I never meant to make you cry
~#**************#~
But tonight Im cleanin out my closet (Uh)
~#**************#~
[Verse 3]
~#**************#~
Now, I would never diss my own mama just to get recognition
~#**************#~
Take a second to listen ‘fore you think this record is dissin
~#**************#~
But put yourself in my position, just try to envision
~#**************#~
Witnessin your mama poppin prescription pills in the kitchen
~#**************#~
Bitchin that someones always goin through her purse and shits missin
~#**************#~
Goin through public housing systems, victim of Münchausens Syndrome
~#**************#~
My whole life I was made to believe I was sick when I wasnt
~#**************#~
‘Til I grew up, now I blew up, it makes you sick to your stomach, doesnt it?
~#**************#~
Wasnt 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, youre gettin older now, and its cold when youre lonely
~#**************#~
And Nathans growin up so quick, hes gonna know that youre phony
~#**************#~
And Hailies gettin so big now, you should see her, shes beautiful
~#**************#~
But youll never see her, she wont even be at your funeral (Ha-ha!)
~#**************#~
See, what hurts me the most is you wont 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 didnt 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? (Hehe)
~#**************#~
Well, guess what? I am dead—dead to you as can be!
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Im sorry, Mama
~#**************#~
I never meant to hurt you
~#**************#~
I never meant to make you cry
~#**************#~
But tonight Im cleanin out my closet (One more time!)
~#**************#~
I said Im sorry, Mama
~#**************#~
I never meant to hurt you
~#**************#~
I never meant to make you cry
~#**************#~
But tonight Im cleanin out my closet
