Cleaning Out My Closet

Lyrics

[Intro: Jon Connor] I know this shit don't work out for everybody, but I ain't everybody I'm me [Verse 1: Jon Connor] You ever wanted something so bad you'd do anything for it? Feel it in your soul and people tellin' you to ignore it Like you could go to sleep, wake up and it be gone in the mornin' Your parents sayin' it's a phase, act like the shit ain't important People see your passion, intentionally try to kill it They mad at theyself for you chasin' your dream and they didn't 'Cause the thought of you winnin' only makin' 'em bitter They think they hate you but they hate theyself for bein' a quitter As time goes on they block it out and they try not to remember Can't escape it, gotta face it when they look in the mirror They was you at one point and they still tryna forget it But fear beat 'em in the end and they don't wanna admit How could they guide you or ever give you advice When half the time they complainin', bitchin' 'bout what's wrong with they life? About all the shit they wish they could change if they could do it twice Just get it right the first time instead of rollin' the dice They tellin' you the chance of makin' it is one in a million They lyin', it's workin', you're the only one that was willin' They try to discourage you 'cause they know for them now it's too late Misery love company and they want you as a roommate Now your skin gettin' thicker, hard to control your emotions When the lack of support comes from the one who the closest When your mother and your father is what's throwin' your focus Y'all can argue all you want, but this how you close it [Chorus: Eminem & Jon Connor] I'm sorry momma (I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry) I never meant to hurt you (I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry) I never meant to make you cry; but tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet (One more time) I said, I'm sorry momma (I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry) I never meant to hurt you (I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry) I never meant to make you cry; but tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet [Verse 2: Jon Connor] Man I think about all the friends I had that abandoned they hopes Livin' with regrets cause they tried to live up to they folks Or a destructive relationship that drove 'em off of they path They other half drainin' them of every dream that they had I seen women wit' a vision let a nigga distract 'em Have a plan, she get a man and she she start hustlin' backwards So preoccupied with him and drama with other bitches She be down and can't get up to get on top of her business I seen dudes who want the pat on the back from they chick Hell'll freeze over two times over, he ain't gettin that shit Because of this his ambition is driven away Look in you for inspiration even if you gotta say, I'm [Chorus: Eminem & Jon Connor] I'm sorry momma (I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry) I never meant to hurt you (I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry) I never meant to make you cry; but tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet (One more time) I said, I'm sorry momma (I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry) I never meant to hurt you (I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry) I never meant to make you cry; but tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet [Outro: DJ Don Cannon]
