Cleanin’ Out My Closet Lyrics By Eminem

    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 motherfuckin’ kid that’s 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’ 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 they’ll never figure me out
    look at me now i bet you’re prob’ly sick of me now
    ain’t you mama i’ma 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 cleanin’ 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 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 ‘7
    before i ever had a multiplatinumselling cd
    i was a baby maybe i was just a couple of months
    my faggot 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 fuckin’ 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 ’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 i’da killed ’em shit i woulda shot kim and him both
    it’s 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 cleanin’ 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 cleanin’ out my closet uh

    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 someone’s always goin’ through her purse and shit’s missin’
    goin’ through public housing systems
    victim of münchausen’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 your stomach doesn’t 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 it’s cold when you’re lonely
    and nathan’s growin’ up so quick
    he’s gonna know that you’re phony
    and hailie’s gettin’ so big now you should see her she’s beautiful
    but you’ll never see her she won’t even be at your funeral haha
    see what hurts me the most is you won’t 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 didn’t 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
    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 cleanin’ 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 cleanin’ out my closet
