[Intro]
Am E F
Where’s my snare?
I have no snare in my headphones
Am E Am E F E Am
There you go, yeah, yo, yo
[Verse 1]
Am E
Have you ever been hated or discriminated against?
Am E
I have, I’ve been protested and demonstrated against
F E
Picket signs for my wicked rhymes, look at the times
Am
Sick is the mind of the motherfuckin’ kid that’s behind
Am E
All this commotion, emotions run deep as oceans, explodin’
Am E
Tempers flarin’ from parents, just blow ’em off and keep goin’
F E
Not takin’ nothin’ from no one, give ’em hell long as I’m breathin’
Am
Keep kickin’ ass in the morning and takin’ names in the evenin’
E
Leave ’em with a taste as sour as vinegar in they mouth
Am E
See, they can trigger me, but they’ll never figure me out
F E
Look at me now! I bet you’re prob’ly sick of me now
Am
Ain’t you, Mama? I’ma make you look so ridiculous now!
[Chorus]
Am
I’m sorry, Mama
E Am
I never meant to hurt you
E F
I never meant to make you cry
E Am
But tonight I’m cleanin’ out my closet (One more time!)
One More Time
Am
I said I’m sorry, Mama
E Am
I never meant to hurt you
E F
I never meant to make you cry
E Am
But tonight I’m cleanin’ out my closet (Ha!)
[Verse 2]
Am E
I got some skeletons in my closet
Am E
And I don’t know if no one knows it
Am E
So before they throw me inside my coffin and close it
Am E
I’ma expose it; I’ll take you back to ’73
Am E
Before I ever had a multi-platinum-selling CD
Am E
I was a baby, maybe I was just a couple of months
Am E
My faggot father must’ve had his panties up in a bunch
Am E
‘Cause he split, I wonder if he even kissed me goodbye
Am E
No, I don’t, on second thought, I just fuckin’ wished he would die
Am E
I look at Hailie, and I couldn’t picture leavin’ her side
Am E
Even if I hated Kim, I’d grit my teeth and I’d try
Am E
To make it work with her at least for Hailie’s sake
AM
I maybe made some mistakes
Am E
But I’m only human, but I’m man enough to face ’em today
Am E
What I did was stupid, no doubt it was dumb
Am E
But the smartest shit I did was take the bullets out of that gun
Am
‘Cause I’da killed ’em, shit, I woulda shot Kim and him both
Am E
It’s my life, I’d like to welcome y’all to The Eminem Show
[Chorus]
Am
I’m sorry, Mama
E Am
I never meant to hurt you
E F
I never meant to make you cry
E Am
But tonight I’m cleanin’ out my closet (One more time!)
One More Time
Am
I said I’m sorry, Mama
E Am
I never meant to hurt you
E F
I never meant to make you cry
E Am
But tonight I’m cleanin’ out my closet (Uh)
[Verse 3]
Am E
Now, I would never diss my own mama just to get recognition
Am E
Take a second to listen ‘fore you think this record is dissin’
Am E
But put yourself in my position, just try to envision
Am E
Witnessin’ your mama poppin’ prescription pills in the kitchen
Am E
Bitchin’ that someone’s always goin’ through her purse and shit’s missin’
Am E
Goin’ through public housing systems
Am E
Victim of Münchausen’s Syndrome
Am E
My whole life I was made to believe I was sick when I wasn’t
Am
‘Til I grew up, now I blew up
Am E
It makes you sick to your stomach, doesn’t it?
Am E
Wasn’t it the reason you made that CD for me, Ma?
Am E
So you could try to justify the way you treated me, Ma?
Am E
But guess what, you’re gettin’ older now
Am
And it’s cold when you’re lonely
Am
And Nathan’s growin’ up so quick
Am E
He’s gonna know that you’re phony
Am E
And Hailie’s gettin’ so big now, you should see her, she’s beautiful
Am E
But you’ll never see her-she won’t even be at your funeral (ha-ha!)
Am E
See, what hurts me the most is you won’t admit you was wrong
Am E
Bitch, do your song, keep tellin’ yourself that you was a mom!
Am E
But how dare you try to take what you didn’t help me to get?!
Am E
You selfish bitch, I hope you fuckin’ burn in hell for this shit!
Am E
Remember when Ronnie died and you said you wished it was me?
Am E
Well, guess what, I am dead-dead to you as can be!
[Chorus]
Am
I’m sorry, Mama
E Am
I never meant to hurt you
E F
I never meant to make you cry
E Am
But tonight I’m cleanin’ out my closet (One more time!)
One More Time
Am
I said I’m sorry, Mama
E Am
I never meant to hurt you
E F
I never meant to make you cry
E Am
But tonight I’m cleanin’ out my closet
