[Verse 1: Nate Reuss] 
Mom 
I know I let you down 
And though you say the days are happy 
Why is the power off, and I'm [bad word] up? 
And mom, I know he's not around 
But don't you place the blame on me 
As you pour yourself another drink 

Nate Reuss- Hook: 
I guess we are who we are 
Headlights shining in the dark night I drive on 
Maybe we took this too far 

[Verse 2: Eminem] 
I went in headfirst 
Never thinking about who what I said hurt, in what verse 
My mom probably got it the worst 
The [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] coat, anything to have each other's goats 
Why we always at each others throats? Especially when dad, he [bad word] us both 
We're in the same [bad word] boat, you'd think that it'd make us close (nope) 
Further away that drove us, but together headlines 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, on 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 changeable 
And to this day we remained estranged and I hate it though, but

Nate Reuss- Hook: 
I guess we are who we are 
Headlights shining in the dark night I drive on 
Maybe we took this too far 

[Verse 3: Eminem] 
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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] my deadbeat dad was  [bad word] it I guess he had trouble keeping up with every address 
But I'd of 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 [bad word] s 
If I had [bad word] down the chimney dressed as Santa, kidnap them 
And although one has met their grandma 
Once you pulled up in our drive one night as we were leaving to get some handburgers 
Me, her and Nate, we introduced you, hugged you 
And as you left I had this overwhelming [bad word] over me
As we pulled off to go our separate paths, and 
I saw your headlines as I looked back 
And I'm mad I didn't get the chance to thank you for being my Mom and my Dad 
So Mom, please accept this as a tribute I wrote this on the jet 
I guess I had to get this off my chest, I hope I get the chance to lay it before I'm dead
