| Cleanin' Out My Closet - Eminem 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 is the mind of the motha-f___in' 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' a__ in the mornin' an' takin' names in the evening. / Leave 'em with a taste as sour as vinegar in their mouth. See, they can trigger me but they'll never figure me out. / Look at me now. I bet ya probably sick of me now. Ain't you mama? I'ma make you look so ridiculous now. [Chorus 2X] 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. 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'm gonna expose it. I'll take you back to '73, before I ever had a multi-platinum-sellin' CD. / I was a baby; maybe I was just a couple of months. My faggot father musta had his panties up in a bunch, / cuz he split. And I wonder if he even kissed me good-bye. No, I don't. On second thought, I just f___in' 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 s___ I did was take the bullets out of that gun. / Cuz I'da killed 'em. S___, I woulda shot Kim an' him both. It's my life. I'd like to welcome y'all to The Eminem Show. [Chorus 2X] Now I would never dis my own mama just to get recognition. Take a second to listen for who 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'. Going through public housing 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, / 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? Yer gettin' older now and it's cold when you're lonely. An' 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. / See what hurts me the most is you won't admit you was wrong. B____, do ya 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 b____, I hope you f___in' burn 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 4X TOP In the End - Linkin Park* *This is the song that came on the radio just before I punched the window in my house in January. It was perfect. If any other song had been on the radio, I might not have done it. (It starts with) One thing / I don’t know why It doesn’t even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme To explain in due time All I know Time is a valuable thing Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings Watch it count down to the end of the day The clock ticks life away It’s so unreal Didn’t look out below Watch the time go right out the window Trying to hold on / but didn’t even know Wasted it all just to Watch you go I kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I tried so hard And got so far But in the end It doesn't even matter I had to fall To lose it all But in the end It doesn't even matter One thing / I don’t know why It doesn’t even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme To remind myself how I tried so hard In spite of the way you were mocking me Acting like I was part of your property Remembering all the times you fought with me I’m surprised it got so (far) Things aren’t the way they were before You wouldn’t even recognize me anymore Not that you knew me back then But it all comes back to me In the end You kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I tried so hard And got so far But in the end It doesn’t even matter I had to fall To lose it all But in the end It doesn’t even matter I've put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go For all this There’s only one thing you should know I've put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go For all this There’s only one thing you should know I tried so hard And got so far But in the end It doesn’t even matter I had to fall To lose it all But in the end It doesn’t even matter TOP Blurry - Puddle of Mudd Everything's so blurry And everyone's so fake And everybody's empty And everything is so messed up Preoccupied without you I cannot live at all My whole world surrounds you I stumble then I crawl And you could be someone You could be my seed You know that I'll protect you From all of the obscene I wonder what you're doing Imagine where you are There's oceans in between us But that's not very far Can you take it all away Can you take it all away Well you shoved it in my face Explain your game to me Can you take it all away Can you take it all away Well you shoved it my face Everyone is changing There's no one left that's real So make up your own ending And let me know just how you feel Cuz I am lost without you I cannot live at all My whole world surrounds you I stumble then I crawl And you could be my someone You could be my seed You know that I will save you From all of the unclean I wonder what you're doing I wonder where you are There's oceans in between us But that's not very far Can you take it all away Can you take it all away Well you shoved it in my face Explain your game to me Can you take it all away Can you take it all away Well you shoved it my face Explain your game to me Nobody told me what you thought Nobody told me what to say Everyone showed you where to turn Told you when to run away Nobody told you where to hide Nobody told you what to say Everyone showed you where to turn Showed you when to run away Can you take it all away Can you take it all away Well you shoved it in my face Explain your game to me Can you take it all away Can you take it all away Well you shoved it my face Explain your game to me Explain your game to me Can you take it all Can you take it all away The pain you gave to me Explain your game to me Explain your game to me Take it all away Explain your game to me Explain again, explain again...
