		Here are the lyrics for 'Cleaning Out My Closet'. These are the ones that will be used in the competition on Monday as they are swear-free! Eminem - 'Cleaning Out My Closet' Where's my snare, I have no snare in my headphones Have you ever been hated or discriminated against? I have, I've been protested and demonstrated against. / Picket signs from my wicked rhymes. Look at the times. Sick as the mind of the motha *** kid that's behind / and all this commotion. Emotions run deep as ocean's explodin.' Tempers flaring 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 mornin,' an' takin' names in the evening. / Leavin' with the taste of the sourest vinegar in they mouth. See, they can trigger me but they will never figure me out. / Look at me now, I bet ya probably sick of me now. Ain't ya mama, I 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. 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 thrown me inside my coffin and close it, / I'ma 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 ** father must have had his panties up in a bunch, / cuz he split. I wonder if he even kissed me goodbye. No, I don't on second thought, I just **' wished he would die. / I look at Hailie and I couldn't even picture leavin' her side. Even if I hated Kim, I grit my teeth an I 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 them today. / What I did was stupid, no doubt it was dumb, but the smartest s* I did was take them bullets out of that gun. / Cuz I would have *** 'em, I would have shot Kim an' them 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. 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. 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, / bitchin' that someone's always goin' throuh her purse and 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 justify the way you treated me, Ma? / But guess what, you getting' older now and it's cold when ya lonely. An' Nathan's growin' up so quick, he's gonna know that ya phoney. / And Hailie's getting' so big now, you should see her, she's beautiful. But you'll never see her, she won't even be at your funeral. / (Ha, ha) See what hurts me the most is you won't admit that you was wrong. Bitch, 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 bitch, I hope you **' burn in hell for this . / Remember when Ronnie died and you said you wished it was me? Well, guess what, I am dead. Dead to you as could 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. 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'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'm sorry, Mama. I never meant to hurt you. I never meant to make you cry, but tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet. Back to the Eminem competition**
