[00:33.28]Have you ever been hated 
[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. 
[04:19.33][04:06.54][02:48.61][02:35.74][01:30.67][01:17.72]I never meant to make you cry, but tonight
[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.
