"Every child deserves a parent but not every parent deserves a child."

Probably one of my favourite songs ever written. The lyrics .. the chaos .. the insanity .. the sadness .. the life

Its April 2024, let's see how many legends are listening to this incredible song

22 years later, if you’re watching this, you’re a legend.

Cleaning your closet as a kid vs cleaning it being an adult hits so different. The perspective goes crazy.

A really sad song with very powerful lines. Even if Eminem currently regrets having done this song, it's noticeable he needed to vent out his feelings at the time, and this was HIS way.

Thats what makes em the goat, he doesnt have to make up shit to diss anyone, he comes out completely honest and allows the truth to diss. Theres no rebuttal to That

I wish I could hug A young Marshall And let him feel love as A child. How sad 😢 However his strength against the world is Amazing ❤

Growing up with a dysfunctional mother, this song hit home for me! We always hear about respecting your parents and people always glorify their mothers above all but to hear someone express their trauma from their mother was so refreshing and relatable to me as a teenager. This is why, in my opinion, Eminem is the greatest rapper ever.

Why isn this on 1B views

I swear there ain’t a single bad lyric in this song

when I was 10 years old "This song is so cool" now that I'm 21 I realize that the lyrics in it are the story of my life

"Remember when Ronnie died and you said you wished it was me" The worst thing a mother could say to their child

I used to cry listening to Eminem in my abusive shit fucking household full of drug dealer parents and step parents coming and going, I wouldn’t be alive rn if it wasn’t for him, I’m in the army now and these songs bring more emotion out of me than anything else, thank you em, for saving my life.

2024 still love Em ❤

Whos here in 2024 listening to the goat still

" What hurts me the most is that you won't admit you was wrong" We all feel that way towards a friend, love interest or family member

The people who disliked had absolutely no snare in their headphones

I'm only 10 years old and I've been listening to him ever since I was three

I just wanna hug the child version of him and take that pain away

I was 18. End of 2018. My mother called the cops and had me arrested after I fought her husband. I was homeless and on the verge of suicide. This song saved me

eminem - his bestfriend died - his dad abandoned him - his mom hated him - his mom was also a drug addict - failed 9th grade 3 times - his wife cheated on him - bullied all through his life for no such things - was a drug addict But even through all that he is still one of the GREAT RAPPERS OF ALL TIME! respect.

They tried to shut me down on MTV but it feels so empty without me.

This one song had so many people telling their parents how they feel because they know that It was truly their time to heal from their past experiences and traumas!!

his songs actually tell you how he's feeling and don't water it down, that's why so many admire him.

The only rapper that makes me cry in their songs.. too much meaning

One of the ballsiest piece of musical masterpieces ever put out...respect from classic rock and blues...

Hearing this as an adult...shit hits super different

When he said "Remember when Ronnie died and you said you wished it was me. Well guess what, I am dead, dead to you as can be." I got chills

It’s crazy em found a way to reconcile with his mother so many years later, I’ve been through pretty much the same thing and even now as an adult I still don’t think we’ll ever be ok

This songs make me know that not everybody had a good childhood.....it make me cry ......

Can we just talk about the beat?? Em did so well on this!

You listen to every other rapper, but you actually feel Eminem when you hear him.

Probably one of the deepest and most emotional songs I’ve ever heard. I hate how people try to censor this. There are literally no words to describe the feeling that comes with listening to this song… it’s a mix of his anger, adrenaline, sadness, confrontation, and pain.

“What even hurts me the most is you won’t admit you was wrong.” This. All an abused child needs is a validation and accountability. Abusive parents tend to deflect and blame the kid for their abusive behaviors instead of admitting they’ve done horrible things. This is why a healing can never happen. I know. My parents are the same.

Oh my GOD I finally found the song which used to play during bike riding in GTA VC after almost a decade! I can't believe I was looking for it since my childhood.

"Well guess what, I am dead, dead to you as can be" Damn these lyrics hit hard

0% drugs 0% nudity 0% fancy cars 100% clean closet

The beat still heavy 14 year later 😰***F*cking legend❤‍🔥

Lyrical genius, listen to this reciting every word , giving me chills just like the first time 22 years ago

Eminem's music has helped me through the toughest times and still is

One of the most honest and heart breaking songs ever by Em. As a Mom it pisses me off how he was treated by someone who was supposed to protect him. One of the reasons why he is such an amazing father.

Thank you, Eminem. This helped me ans helps me. And everyone who this means something too, I wish you peace.

OMG I heard that song when I was 10 and lived in USA , I thought its a great song, Now I'm 32 , I leave in Russia, and today I turned this clip on... This song is genius ❤

As a daughter of a malignant narcissistic mother, this song has deep meaning for me. I will always appreciate Eminem as an artist because he never sugar coated his emotions. I always cry at the 3 minute mark because I feel all of it.

I feel so bad for Eminem because bro had a drugged mom and his dad abandoned him but the good thing is is that he still managed to become the greatest rapper ever to exist. Mad respect to you

WE ARE CLEANIN' OUT OUR CLOSTES WITH THIS ONE🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🅱🅱🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🅱🅱😮😮👵👵💯💯💯💯💯💯‼‼💯💯‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼💯💯

You can hear the anger and resentment in his voice...These lyrics are so powerful and it’s such an amazing video. Eminem is truly a legend.

Eminem wasn't just making songs, he told stories of his life

“I’m sorry mama I never hurt you”❤❤❤

“Wheres my snail?” 0:12

"..remember when Ronnie died and you said you wished it was me well, guess what, I am dead, dead to you as can be." this part always gives me goosebumps

Dang this makes me respect and appreciate my parents for not being abusive and being how they are. Parents have so much power over there children and I’m happy my parents don’t abuse it.

Even all these years later in April 30 2024 he is still the best

3:52 still gives me chills

20 years later, and still gives me goosebumps.

I hate that people are trying to cancel him over these lyrics. He's obviously venting here as an abuse survivor, and bareing his heart here. The lyric about his wife and kid, he isn't saying it like he was proud to have thoughts like that, he's obviously hurt by even having those thoughts and is owning up to it. Trauma is a bitch and we shouldn't be judging him for trying to heal and having a hard time.

Don t forget; if you hit another horse, you dig too deep

wtf this is the first time i heard this song and I'm tearing up. he's went through so much and now he's apologizing?

Legend has it that eminem is still looking for his snare.

No matter how many years pass, this song will stay in our hearts forever!

this song is dear to me, altho Eminem regretted it years later, but it still held some truth on how i felt years back when he first released it. yes, past is the past. but part of us today came from who we were (they were) 😢❤💙💙💙

This music is a clearing house of the mind if you can. But most will nvr forget the trumas. So whats the real story of most of us?

Now, that I am a mom and I am older, I see that Eminem was very brave to write and perform this song. I am sure it helped a lot of people face the fact that they had every right to despise their parents and articulate the many reason they were mad and heartbroken. Thanks Eminem. I think you helped make the world a little better with your music.

Shotout to all these 2am people thinkin about life

For all the broken children ❤

The sad thing is that every child on Earth is getting through this Hell and even when they grow up the Scars in soul remain 😢😢😢

This isn't just a rap, it's a masterpiece of an autobiography

As a man who recently uncovered some serious repressed trauma that my mother had no small part in, this song has taken on a whole new meaning for me. I feel the pain he is putting out in this song in my very heart

Living in 22022 but godsamn this shit long but every second is captivating

Still here to hear it out! Some closets are deep!

As a kid this was a banger. As a30 year old it hits completely different. Still a banger tho

"I made mistakes, but I'm only human. But I'm man enough to face 'em today" Words of Wisdom.

This song still hits hard in 2024

"It's my life. I'd like to welcome y'all to the Eminem Show". Despite so much imperfection surrounding him his entire life, he created music that is nothing short of perfect. All we can do is just sit back and admire.

One thing I can say is it’s a harsh reality for Eminem to go through his childhood in doubt and depression and shit. I am glad he’s made a successful career and that he made millions of people proud for what music he made to make his life better.

I had a fucked up childhood myself, and if you did too this just hits home. Now I’m an awesome father and my son is my life.

A lot of people can relate to this song.

A masterpiece is what video I’m commenting on rn

as an abused child, this makes me cry an ocean worth of tears

Just listening to him sing about what he's been through with his mom gave me chills....It's hurts most when the people that suppose to be by our sides protecting us turns out to be the people we don't want to see

‘Where’s my snare?’ Still hits hard after all these years

Calling the legends who still listen to eminem to this day

The first song that I heard of Em, and it clicked right away with me. I love my mom more than anything, and she's saved my life countless times. The way Em described his life in this song showed me how invaluable a loving parent truly is. This is not just a song, but the pure message of a heartbroken child. How tragic and true, and touching.

I remember this hitting me in a special way when I heard this in middle school. My mom is an abusive alcoholic and my dad was gone a lot. My Mom is still an alcoholic. It’s sad how people can get stuck in decades of addiction. She used to call me a worthless piece of shit almost everyday, for my sister it was stupid slut. I never finished college and was on drugs through my teens into my late 20s. I’ve lived a crazy life, ended up being homeless for awhile. I should be dead, but I just started to get my life together in my 30s. I didn’t realize how much power my parents opinions and words had in my life until I was older. For anyone out there who feels like giving up, feels worthless, or feels like a waste of life, you aren’t. You can always change things.

All he needed was his mom and her love ❤

Em's greatest accomplishment on this earth was to break a cycle of generational trauma and to be the parent to Hailey he never had...oh and share the journey with millions ❤

me having a perfectly healthy relationship with my mom singing the lyrics word for word

So many years have passed and you're still here. We all are...

Still hit the same . ❤

if half of this is true, I feel your pain. no worse feeling knowing your parents don't give a f*** about you and try to gaslight you about it. You are a good guy and great father. Keep going

It's a miracle that Em came through that mess as well as he has. It's absolutely amazing that he became such a good father. My childhood was a lot like his. It would've been easier to cave under the pain and dysfunction. But he chose a different path. Brilliant artist. Strong, humble man. ❤

Eminem's dad must be so angry he made the mistake of abandoning him.

This song still slaps 14 YEARS LATER TAHTS CRAZY

Thats music, thats rap, you feel what slim said! Thats music! Thank you for this masterpiece 🙏

No one deserves this type of treatment as a kid 😔

Marshal thank you so much for giving a voice to abused & neglected children everywhere. Can’t listen without getting chills cause it’s so relatable & emotional. It’s amazing you’ve been the best parent to your children that you never had. We ❤ you Em

He's legend rapper ... The King of hip hop

that's true therapy there emptying the closet of needless baggage a Master move

“See they can trigger me but they’ll never figure me out.” Hits different from the last few 100 times I listened to it
