[B] [F] I
[E] [Am]
[Dm] have no snare in my headband.
[Am] Have [B] you [Am]
[B] [F]
[E] [Am]
[D] [Am] ever been hated [B] or [Am] discriminated against?
I have.
I've been [B] protested and demonstrated against.
[F] Figured signs for my wicked [E] rhymes.
Look at the times.
[Am] Sickest of mind of the [D] kid that's behind.
[Am] All this commotion, emotions [Dm] run deep.
Oceans [Am] exploding.
Zippers flaring from Paris.
[Dm] It's blowing them off to keep going.
[F] Not taking nothing from no one.
I'll give [E] them hell as long as I'm breathing.
[A] Kicking ass in the morning and taking [Dm] names in the evening.
[Am] Leaving with a taste of sour [B] as vinegar in they mouth.
[Am] See they can trigger me, but [F] they'll never figure me out.
Look at me now.
I bet [A] you're probably sick of me now.
[Am] Ain't you, mama?
I'ma make you look so ridiculous now.
I'm sorry, mama.
[B] I never [Am] meant to hurt you.
[Bm] I never [F] meant to make you [E] cry.
But tonight, I'm cleaning [A] out my closet.
One more time.
[E] I said [Am] I'm sorry, mama.
[B] I never [Am] meant to hurt you.
[E] [F] I never meant to make you [E] cry.
But tonight, I'm cleaning [A] out my closet.
I got [Am] some skeletons in my [B] closet.
And I don't know if no one [Am] knows it.
So before they throw me [Dm] inside my coffin and close it,
[F] I'ma expose it.
I'll take [E] you back to 73.
[Am] Before I ever had a [Dm] multiplatinum selling CD, [Am] I was the baby.
Maybe I was just a couple of months.
My father must have had [B] his panties up in a [F] bunch because he split.
I wonder if [E] he even kissed me goodbye.
[Am] No, I don't know second thoughts.
I wish [Ab] he would die.
[Am] I look at Haley, and I couldn't [Dm] picture leaving the side.
[Am] Even if I hated Kim, [B] I'd grit my teeth and not [F] try to make it work with her,
at least for [E] Haley's sake.
I maybe made some [A] mistakes, but I'm only human.
But I'm [Dm] man enough to face them [Am] today.
What I did was [B] stupid.
No doubt it was dumb.
But [Am] the smartest thing I did was take [B] the bullets out of that [F] gun
because I'd have killed him.
And I [E] would have shot Kim and them [Am] both.
It's my life.
I'd like to welcome y'all to the [E] Eminem show.
I'm [Am] sorry, Mama.
[E] [Am] I never meant to hurt you.
[E] I never [F] meant to make you [E] cry.
But tonight, I'm cleaning [A] out my closet.
One more time.
I said, [Am] I'm sorry, Mama.
I never meant to hurt you.
I never [F] meant to make you [E] cry.
But tonight, I'm cleaning [A] out my closet.
Now, [Am] I would never diss my own mama [B] just to get recognition.
[Am] Take a second to listen before [B] you think this record is [F] dissing.
But put yourself in my position.
[E] Just try to envision [Am] witnessing your mama popping prescription [D] pills in your kitchen.
[Am] Pretending that someone's always going [B] through a person.
Missing [Am] going through public housing systems.
[B] Victim of Munchausen [Am] syndrome.
My whole life, I was made to [E] believe I was sick when I wasn't.
[Am] Until I grew up.
Now, I blew up.
It makes you sick [E] to your stomach, [Am] doesn't it?
Wasn't it the reason you [F] made acid for me?
Ma, [Am] so you could try to justify [F] the way you treated me?
Ma, but guess what?
You're getting older [E] now.
And it's cold when you're lonely.
[Am] And Nathan's growing up so quick, [Dm] he's going to know that you're phony.
[Am] And Haley's getting so big [B] now.
You should see her.
She's beautiful.
[Am] But you'll never see her.
She [F] won't even be at your funeral.
See, what hurts me the most is [E] you won't admit you was wrong.
[Am] Do your song.
Keep telling yourself that you was a mama.
But how dare you try to take what [B] you didn't help me to [Am] get?
You selfish.
I hope you're [B] burning hell for this.
[F] Remember when Ronnie died and [E] you said you wished it was me?
[Am] Well, guess what?
I am dead.
Dead to you as can be.
I'm sorry, Mama.
[B] I never [Am] meant to hurt you.
[Bm] I never [F] meant to make you [E] cry.
But tonight, I'm cleaning [A] out my closet.
One more time.
[E] I said, [Am] I'm sorry, Mama.
