[00:34.20]or discriminated against?
[00:35.55]I have' I've been protested and demonstrated against.
[00:39.60]Picket signs for my wicked rhymes.
[00:41.39]Look at the times. Sick is the mind
[00:43.17]of the motha fuckin' kid that's behind
[00:45.71]all this commotion. Emotions run deep
[00:47.51]as ocean's explodin.'
[00:49.15]Tempers flaring from parents'
[00:50.45]just blow 'em off and keep goin.'
[00:52.13]Not takin' nothin' from no one'
[00:53.69]give 'em hell long as I'm breathin.
[00:55.41]Keep kickin' ass in the mornin''
[00:57.11]an' takin' names in the evening.
[00:58.69]Leavem with a taste as sour as vinegar in they mouth.
[01:01.98]See' they can trigger me
[01:03.18]but they never figure me out.
[01:05.27]Look at me now'
[01:06.07]I bet ya probably sick of me now.
[01:08.46]Ain't you mama'
[01:09.52]I'ma make you look so ridiculous now.
[04:13.06][04:00.54][02:42.45][02:29.89][01:24.42][01:11.90]I'm sorry' Mama.
[04:15.88][04:03.05][02:45.43][02:32.18][01:27.19][01:14.46]I never meant to hurt you.

[04:22.74][04:09.75][02:52.07][02:39.17][01:33.97][01:21.04]I'm cleanin' out my closet.
[01:37.89]I got some skeletons in my closet
[01:39.51]and I don't know if no one knows it.
[01:41.25]So before they thrown
[01:42.72]me inside my coffin and close it'
[01:44.11]I'ma expose it. I'll take you back to
[01:46.30]73 before I ever had a multi-platinum sellin' CD.
[01:50.00]I was a baby' maybe I was just a couple of months.
[01:53.72]My faggot father must have
[01:55.49]had his panties up in a bunch'
[01:57.18]cuz he split.
[01:58.14]I wonder if he even kissed me goodbye.
[02:00.08]No' I don't on second thought'
[02:01.64]I just fuckin' wished he would die.
[02:03.38]I look at Hailie
[02:04.76]and I couldn't picture leavin' her side.
[02:06.59]Even if I hated Kim' I grit my teeth and I'd try
[02:09.43]to make it work with her at least for Hailie's sake.
[02:11.99]I maybe made some mistakes
[02:13.53]but I'm only human.
[02:14.84]But I'm man enough to face them today.
[02:16.64]/What I did was stupid' no doubt it was dumb
[02:19.47]but the smartest shit
[02:21.18]I did was take them bullets out of that gun.
[02:22.66]Cuz id'a killed 'em'
[02:24.13] shit I would have shot Kim an' him both.
[02:25.88]It's my life' I'd like to welcome y'all to The Eminem Show.
[02:55.50]Now I would never dis my own mama just to get recognition.
[02:58.84]Take a second to listen for you think this record is dissin''
[03:01.80] But put yourself in my position.
[03:03.48] ust try to envision witnessin' your
[03:05.45]Mama poppin' prescription pills in the kitchen'
[03:08.25]bitchin' that someone's always g
[03:10.11]oin' throuh her purse and shits missin.' Going through
[03:12.22] public housing systems' victim of Munchausen's syndrome.
[03:14.51]My whole life I was made to believe
[03:16.65]I was sick when I wasn't 'til I grew up'
[03:18.76] now I blew up. It makes you sick to ya stomach'
[03:21.44]doesn't it?
[03:21.95]Wasn't it the reason you made that CD for me' Ma?
[03:24.66]So you could try to justify the way you treated me' Ma?
[03:27.91]But guess what'
[03:28.82]yer gettin' older now and it's cold when your lonely.
[03:31.16]An' Nathan's getting' up so quick'
[03:32.94]he's gonna know that your phoney.
[03:34.44]And Hailie's getting' so big now'
[03:35.91]you should see her' she's beautiful.
[03:37.99]But you'll never see her'
[03:39.36]she won't even be at your funeral.
[03:40.61]See what hurts me the most is you won't
[03:42.74]admit you was wrong. Bitch' do ya song.
[03:45.20]Keep tellin' yourself that you was a mom.
[03:47.40]But how dare you
[03:48.92]try to take what you didn't help me to get.
[03:50.82]You selfish bitch'
[03:51.92]I hope you fuckin' burn in hell for this shit.
[03:53.69] Remember when
[03:55.05]Ronnie died and you said you wished it was me?
[03:57.06]Well' guess what' I am dead.
[03:58.57] Dead to you as can be.
