MGom, I know I let you Ddown
And though you sCay the days are happy
Why is the pDower off, and I'm fucked up?
And mGom, I know he's not arDound
But don't you pClace the blame on me
As you pDour yourself another drink
[Hook]
CI guess we are who we Dare G D
CHeadlights shining in the dark night I drive Don G D
CMaybe we took this too Dfar
==> For Eminem's verses the chords are G F# E F# over and over <==
[Verse 1]
I went in headfirst
Never thinking about who what I said hurt, in what verse
My mom probably got it the worst
The brunt of it, but as stubborn as we are
Did I take it too far?
Cleaning out my closet and all them other songs
But regardless I don't hate you cause ma!
You're still beautiful to me, cause you're my mom
Though far be it for you to be calling, my house was Vietnam
Desert Storm and both of us put together can form an atomic bomb
Equivalent to Chemical warfare
And forever we can drag this on and on
But, agree to disagree
That gift from me up under the Christmas tree don't mean shit to me
You're kicking me out? It's 15 degrees and it's Christmas Eve
(little prick just leave) ma, let me grab my fucking coat
Anything to have each other's goats, why we always at each others throats?
Especially when dad, he fucked us both
We're in the same fucking boat
You'd think that it'd make us close (nope)
Further away that drove us, but together headlights shine
A car full of belongings
Still got a ways to go, back
To grandma's
House it's straight up the road
And I was the man of the house, the oldest
So my shoulders carried the weight
Of the load
Then Nate got taken away by the state at 8 years old, and
That's when I realized you were sick and it wasn't fixable or changable
And to this day we remained estranged and I hate it though, but

[Verse 2]
Cause to this day we remain estranged and I hate it though
Cause you ain't even get to witness your grand baby's growth
But I'm sorry mama for Cleaning Out My Closet, at the time I was angry
Rightfully maybe so, never meant that far to take it though, cause
Now I know it's not your fault, and I'm not making jokes
That song I no longer play at shows and I cringe every time it's on the radio
And I think of Nathan being placed in a home
And all the medicine you fed us
And how I just wanted you to taste your own, but
Now the medications taken over and your mental states deteriorating slow
And I'm way too old to cry, that shit's painful though
But ma, I forgive you, so does Nathan yo
All you did, all you said, you did your best to raise us both
Foster care, that cross you bare, few may be as heavy as yours
But I love you Debbie Mathers, oh what a tangled web we have, cause
One thing I never asked was where the fuck my deadbeat dad was
Fuck it I guess he had trouble keeping up with every address
But I'd have flipped every mattress, every rock and desert cactus
Own a collection of maps and followed my kids to the edge of the atlas
Someone ever moved them from me? That you could bet your ass's
If I had to come down the chimney dressed as Santa, kidnap them
And although one has met their grandma
Once you pulled up in our drive one nights
As we were leaving to get some hamburgers
Me, her and Nate, we introduced you, hugged you
And as you left I had this overwhelming sadness come over me
GAs we pulled off to go our separate paths, and
I saw your heDadlights as I looked back
And I'm mad I didn't get the chance to tChank you for being my Mom and my Dad
So Mom, please acDcept this as a tribute I wrote this on the jet
I guess I had to gD#et this off my chest
I hope I get the chance to lay it before I'm dFead
The stewardess said to fasten my seatbelt, I guess we're crashiGng
So if I'm not dreaming, I hope you thisD message
That I'll always love you from afar, cause you're my maCma...

[Verse 3]
I want a new lGife
One without a cEmause
So I'm coming home tonCight
Well no matter what the cD7ost
And if the plane goes dGown
And if the crew can't wake meEm up
Just know that I was alrCight
And I was not afraid to dD7ie
Even if there's songs to Gsing
My children will carryEm me
Just know that I'm alCright
I was not afraid to D7die
Because I put my faith in Gmy new girl
So I never say goodD#bye cruel world
Just know that I'm alCright
I am not afraid to D7die
