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 oceans

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 you're probably sick of me now ain't you mama?

i'mma 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

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 throw 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'd 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 them 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"
