Cleaning Out My Closet Cleaning Out My Closet Lyrics

Intro:
Where's my snare
I have no snare on my headphones
there you go
yeah
yo,yo

Have you eva 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 m_________ing 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 I'm breathin'
Keep kickin' a__ in the mornin', and takin' names in the evenin'
Leaving with a taste as sour as vinegar in their mouth
See they can trigga me, but they'll neva figure me out
Look at me now, I betcha probley sick of me now
Ain't you mama, I 'ma make you look so ridiculous now

Chorus:

I'm sorry mama
I neva meant to hurt you
I neva meant to make you cry
But tonight, I'm cleanin' out my closet

One more time

I said
I'm sorry mama
I neva meant to hurt you
I neva meant to make you cry
But tonight I'm cleanin' 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'ma expose it, I'll take you back to '73
Before I eva had a multi-platinum sellin' CD
I was a baby maybe I was just a coupla months
My f__got father must've 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 f___in' wished he would die
I look at hailie and I couldnt picture leaving her side,
Even if I hated Kim, I'd grit my teeth and I'd try to make it work
Wit her at least for Hailie's sake
I maybe made some mistakes
But I'm only human but I'm man enough to face 'em today
What I did was stupid, no doubt it was dumb
But the smartest s___ I did was take the bullets outta that gun
Cause I'd of killed 'em s___ I woulda shot Kim and them both
It's my life, I'd like to welcome ya'll to the Eminem show

Chorus:

I'm sorry mama
I neva meant to hurt you
I neva meant to make you cry
But tonight, I'm cleanin' out my closet

One more time

I said I'm sorry mama
I neva meant to hurt you
I neva meant to make you cry
But tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet

Now I would neva 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
b____in' that someone's always goin' through her purse and s___'s missin'
Goin' through public housin' systems, victim of Munchausen'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, 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, ya gettin' olda now and it's cold when yaw lonely
And Nathan's growin' up so quick he's going to know that youre phony
And Hailie's getting' so big now, you should see her, she's beautiful
Well you'll neva see her, she won't even be at your FUNERAL
See whets hurts me the most, is you won't admit you was wrong
b____ do your song, keep tellin' yaself 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 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!!!

Chorus:

I'm sorry mama
I neva meant to hurt you
I neva meant to make you cry
But tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet

One more time

I said I'm sorry mama
I neva meant to hurt you
I neva meant to make you cry
But tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet
