Eminem Cleaning Out My Closet (I'm Sorry Mama) Lyrics

Where's my snare?
I have no snare on 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 is the mind of the m________in' 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 as long as I'm breathin'.
Keep kickin' a__ in the morning and taking names in the evening,
leave 'em with a taste as sour as vinegar as in their mouth.
See they can trigger me, but they 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!

One more time..

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!

I got some skeletons in my closet and I dont know if no ones 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 just a couple a months.
My f__got father must have 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 f___in' wished he would die!
I look at Hailie and I couldn't picture leavin' 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 s___ I did was take the bullets out of that gun!
'Cause I'd have killed em,
s___, I would have shot Kim an' him both, its my life.
I'd like to welcome y'all to The Eminem Show.

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!

One more time..

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!

Now, I would never diss my own mama just to get recognition.
Take a second to listen for you think this record is dissin'.
But put yourself in my position, just try to envision,
witnissin' your mama poppin' prescription pills in the kitchen.
b____in' that someones always going through her purse and s___s missin'.
Going through public housing systems victim of Munchausen's syndrome.
My whole life I was made to believe I was sick when I wasn't.
'Till I grew up, now I blew up, it makes you
sick to your stomach, doesnt 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 gettin' older now and its cold when you're lonely
and Nathan's growing up so quick, he's gonna know that your phony.
And Hailie's getting so big now, you should see her, she's beautiful.
But you'll never see her, she wont even be at you're funeral!
See what hurts me the most is that you won't admit you was wrong.
b____, do ya 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 b____! I hope you f___in' burn in hell for this s___!
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 mama!
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 mama!
I never meant to hurt you!
I never meant to make you cry!
But tonight I'm cleaning out my closet!
