It has ceased now, but not completely vanished. He was exposed to street violence, not having a father and his mom doing drugs and other things.

So he says his music is a good as how his mentality was shaped when he was a child. Eminem caused quite the stirr in music industry when he made it up as white hip hop artist in a time when hip hop was dominated by African American artists. He was hated and often shunned down. Eminem says it did affect him-hurt him, sometimes deep like oceans. At his home things were worse. His parents often fought in temper tantrums and he used to grow up scared.

However, he made it out of that shadow. Eminem has been going on strong for so many years now. And he has been piling up successes ever since. Not everyone can tolerate the lyrics of Eminem. They all say different things to trigger him, and he does respond sometimes, but they will never figure out the life he has had. She often screamed at him, scolded about his worthlessness. Now, that Eminem is a legend, he asks if his mom has had enough of him?

He has turned her word against her and he is ready to make her look silly. I never meant to hurt you! Eminem has had it enough of piling up this anger inside of him. He must have been truly broken apart to go ahead and release such a song. But this song has haunted him ever since.

Of course his dad doing so has Shady emotionally-charged, in a negative sort of way, even to this very day. But he is also using his associated anger as rationale to never abandon his own child. And in proving this point, he references a recent incident he got into with the law which basically was the fault of his wife, Kim. In the chorus, the rapper apologizes to his mother for undoubtedly hurting her feelings on this track.

The irony or sarcasm of that statement has been pointed out by some analysts. And apparently the things that he says about her is stuff that he needed to get off his chest.

He also insinuates that the family growing up in poverty was her fault. And being that Eminem, especially back in those days, held nothing back when it came to dropping records, he felt that the industry was also the appropriate venue to finally release all of this frustration that he has been holding in for basically his entire life. But Shady opted not to use it as he felt that it did indeed hit too close to home. It charted in a variety of countries and in the course of doing so achieved a 4 on the UK Singles Charts and a 5 on the Billboard Hot Edit source History Talk 0.
