Sad Quotes by American Song Writers
Scroll down for Sad Quotes by Eminem and other famous American song writers.
Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, is an American rapper from Detroit, born in 1972. He is one of the highest selling rappers of all time, with nine Grammy Awards and one Academy Award (for his song, Lose Yourself, from the movie, 8-Mile)
Eminem is credited with bringing rap music to the "mainstream," which is the media's coy way of saying he got white people interested in rap. But his racial profile is not the only reason for his huge success. Eminem's high-energy lyrics are marked by a dark and wicked sense of humor seldom seen in the work of other rap artists.
Although he's written a number of touching songs about his daughter Hailie, Eminem lyrics, like so many rap lyrics, are frequently criticized for glorifying violence, disrespect toward women, and hatred toward people who are gay.
One of his most famous songs, called "Kim," graphically depicts him murdering his wife. His wife Kim was not too pleased with this. However, there are female fans and gay fans who "get" his sense of humor, and appreciate his style. These are, after all, only song lyrics.
Elton John once performed a duet with Eminem in a very funny song called "Stan," about a crazed and violent fan who drives his car off a bridge with his pregnant girlfriend in the trunk because Eminem didn't answer his letters in a timely fashion.
Eminem's music vibrates with sad quotes.
Enjoy!
Sad Quotes in lyrics by Eminem
Cleanin' Out My Closet
Have you eva been hated, or discriminated against?
I have, I've been protested and demonstrated against
Picket signs for my wicked rhymes, look at the times
Sick as the mind of the motherf***ing kid that's behind
All this commotion, emotions run deep as oceans explodin'
Tempers flarin' from parents just blow 'em off and keep goin'
Not takin' nothin' from no one, give 'em hell long as I'm breathin'
Keep kickin' ass in the mornin', and takin' names in the evenin'
Leaving with a taste as sour as vinegar in their mouth
See they can trigga me, but they'll neva figure me out
Look at me now, I betcha probley sick of me now
Ain't you mama, I 'ma make you look so ridiculous now
I'm sorry mama
I neva meant to hurt you
I neva meant to make you cry
But tonight, I'm cleanin' out my closet
One more time
I said
I'm sorry mama
I neva meant to hurt you
I neva meant to make you cry
But tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet
Ha! I got some skeletons in my closet
And I don't know if no one knows it
So before they throw me inside my coffin and close it
I'ma expose it, I'll take you back to '73
Before I eva had a multi-platinum sellin' CD
I was a baby maybe I was just a coupla months
My faggot father must've had his panties up in a bunch
'Cause he split, I wonder if he even kissed me goodbye
No I don't, on second thought I just f***in' wished he would die
I look at hailie and I couldnt picture leaving her side,
Even if I hated Kim, I'd grit my teeth and I'd try
to make it work with her at least for Hailie's sake
I maybe made some mistakes
But I'm only human but I'm man enough to face 'em today
What I did was stupid, no doubt it was dumb
But the smartest shit I did was take the bullets outta that gun
Cause I'd of killed 'em, shit I woulda shot Kim and them both
It's my life, I'd like to welcome ya'll to the Eminem show
I'm sorry mama
I neva meant to hurt you
I neva meant to make you cry
But tonight, I'm cleanin' out my closet
One more time
I said I'm sorry mama
I neva meant to hurt you
I neva meant to make you cry
But tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet
Now I would neva diss my own mama just to get recognition
Take a second to listen 'fore you think this record is dissin
But put yourself in my position, just try to envision
Witnessin' your mama poppin' prescription pills in the kitchen
Bitchin' that someone's always goin' through her purse and shit's missin'
Goin' through public housin' systems, victim of Munchausen's syndrome
My whole life I was made to believe I was sick when I wasn't
'Til I grew up, now I blew up it makes you sick to ya stomach, doesnt't't it?
Wasn't it the reason you made that CD for me, MA?!
So you could try to justify the way you treated me, MA?!
But guess what, ya gettin' olda now and it's cold when you lonely
And Nathan's growin' up so quick he's going to know that you're phony
And Hailie's getting' so big now, you should see her, she's beautiful
But you'll neva see her, she won't even be at your FUNERAL
See what hurts me the most, is you won't admit you was wrong
Bitch do your song, keep tellin' yaself that you was a mom
But how dare you try to take what you didn't help me to get,
you selfish bitch
I hope you f***in' burn in in hell for this shit!
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'm sorry mama
I neva meant to hurt you
I neva meant to make you cry
But tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet
One more time
I said I'm sorry mama
I neva meant to hurt you
I neva meant to make you cry
But tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet
Lose Yourself
Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted-One moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's chokin, everybody's jokin now
The clock's run out, time's up, over, bloah!
Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked
He's so mad, but he won't give up that easy,
no, he won't have it , he knows
his whole back's to these ropes
It don't matter, he's dope
He knows that, but he's broke
He's so stagnant that he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's
Back to the lab again yo
This whole rap shit
He better go capture this moment
and hope it don't pass him
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go, go, go...
You get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
'Coz opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
The soul's escaping, through this hole that's gaping
This world is mine for the taking
Make me king, as we move toward a
new world order
A normal life is borin,
but superstardom's close to post mortem
It only grows harder, only grows hotter
He blows us all over, these hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows, he's known as the globetrotter
Lonely roads, God only knows
He's grown farther from home, he's no father
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose cuz here goes the cold water
His hoes don't want him no mo, he's cold product
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
He nose dove and sold nada
So the soap opera is told and unfolds
I suppose it's old partna', but the beat goes on
Da da DUM da DUM DA da
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go, go, go...
You get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
'Coz opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this mothaf***in roof off like 2 dogs caged
I was playin in the beginnin, the mood all changed
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin and writin' the next cypher
Best believe somebody's payin' the pied piper
All the pain inside amplified by the fact
That I can't get by with my 9 to 5 and
I can't provide the right type of life for my family
'Coz man, these goddamn food stamps don't buy diapers
And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer,
this is my life and these times are so hard
and it's getting even harder
Tryin to feed and water my seed, plus Teeter-totter
caught up between being a father and a prima donna
Baby mama drama's screamin on and
Too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another day of monotony
Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate a plot
before I end up in jail
or shot.
Success is my only mothaf***in option,
Failure's not.
Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got
to go. I cannot grow old in Salem's lot
So here I go.
Here's my shot. Feet fail me not
'coz this may be the only opportunity that I got
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go, go, go...
You get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
'coz opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
You can do anything you set your mind to, man
Mockingbird
Yeah
I know sometimes things may not always
make sense to you right now
But hey, what'd daddy always tell you?
Straighten up little soldier
Stiffen up that upper lip
Whatchu crying about?
You got me.
Hailie, I know u miss your mom
And I know u miss your dad when I'm gone
But I'm tryin' to give you the life that I never had
I can see your sad, even when you smile
Even when you laugh I can see it in your eyes
Deep inside you wanna cry
Cuz you're scared I ain't there.
Daddy's with you in your prayers
No more cryin'. Wipe them tears
Daddy's here. No more nightmares
We gonna pull together through it
We gon' do it
Lainie's uncle's crazy ain't he?
yeah, but he loves you girl
and you better know it
We're all we got in this world
When it spins, when it swirls
When it whirls, when it twirls
Two little beautiful girls
Lookin' puzzled, in a daze
I know it's confusing you
Daddy's always on the move
Mama's always on the news
I try to keep you sheltered from it
But somehow it seems, the harder that I try to do that
The more it backfires on me
All the things, growin' up
As daddy, daddy had to see
Daddy don't want you to see
But you see just as much as he did
We did not plan it to be this way,
Your mother and me
But things have got so bad between us
I don't see us ever being
Together ever again
Like we used to be when we was teenagers
But then of course
Everything always happen for a reason
I guess it was never meant to be. It's just something
we have no control over, and that's what destiny is
But no more worries. Rest your head and go to sleep
Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream
Now hush little baby don't you cry
Every thing's gonna be all right
Stiffen that upper lip up little lady I told ya
Daddy's here to hold ya through the night
Mommy's not here right now and we don't know why
We fear how we feel inside,
it may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
but I promise, Mama's gon' be alright
It's funny,
I remember back one year when daddy had no money
Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up
And stuck 'em under the tree
And said some of 'em were from me,
'coz daddy couldn't buy 'em
I'll never forget that Christmas
I sat up the whole night crying
'coz daddy felt like a bum,
See daddy had a job, but his job
Was to keep the food on the table for you and mom
And at the time every house that we lived in
Either kept getting broken into and robbed
or shot up on the block
And your mom was saving money for you in a jar
Tryin' to to start a piggy bank for you
So you could go to college
Almost had a thousand dollars
'Till someone broke in and stole it
And I know it hurt so bad it broke your mamma's heart
And it seemed like everything was just starting to fall apart
Mom and dad was arguing a lot
So mama moved back on to Chalmers
in a flat one bedroom apartment
And dad moved back to the other side of 8 mile on Novarra
And that's when daddy went to California with his CD
And met Dr. Dre, and flew you and Mama out to see me,
But daddy had to work, you and mama had to leave me,
Then you started seeing daddy on the TV...
And mama didn't like it
And you and Lainnie were too young to understand it
Papa was a rollin' stone, mama developed a habit
And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it
I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it firsthand
'coz all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud
Now I'm sittin' in this empty house,
Just reminiscing, looking at your baby pictures.
It just trips me out to see how much you both have grown
It's almost like you're sisters now
Wow, guess you pretty much are, and daddy's still here
Lainie, I'm talking to you too! Daddy's still here
I like the sound of that, yeah
It's got a ring to it, don't it?
Shhh, mama's only gone for the moment
Now hush little baby don't you cry
Every thing's gonna be all right
Stiffen that upper lip up little lady I told ya
Daddy's here to hold ya through the night
Mommy's not here right now and we don't know why
We fear how we feel inside.
it may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
but I promise, mama's gon' be alright
And if you ask me to, daddy's gonna buy you a mocking bird
I'ma give you the world,
I'ma buy a diamond ring for you,
I'ma sing for you,
I'll do anything for you to see you smile.
And if that Mocking Bird don't sing and that ring don't shine
Imma break that birdie's neck, I'll go back to the jeweler
Who sold it to ya, make him eat every carat
Don't F*** with dad.
Ha ha
When I'm Gone
Yeah...
It's my life...
My own words I guess...
Have you ever loved someone so much, you'd give an arm for?
Not the expression, no, literally give an arm for?
When they know they're your heart
And you know you were their armour
And you will destroy anyone who would try to harm 'her
But what happens when karma, turns right around and bites you?
And everything you stand for, turns on you, despite you?
What happens when you become the main source of her pain?
"Daddy look what I made", Dad's gotta go catch a plane
"Daddy where's Mommy? I can't find Mommy where is she?"
I don't know go play Hailie, baby, your Daddy's busy
Daddy's writing a song, this song ain't gonna write itself
I'll give you one underdog then you gotta swing by yourself
Then turn right around in that song and tell her you love her
And put hands on her mother, who's a spitting image of her
That's Slim Shady, yeah baby, Slim Shady's crazy
Shady made me, but tonight Shady's rocka-by-baby...
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
Just smile back
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
Just smile back...
I keep having this dream, I'm pushin' Hailie on the swing
She keeps screaming, she don't want me to sing
"You're making Mommy cry, why? Why is Mommy crying?"
Baby, Daddy ain't leaving no more, "Daddy you're lying
"You always say that, you always say this is the last time
"But you ain't leaving no more, Daddy you're mine"
She's piling boxes in front of the door trying to block it
"Daddy please, Daddy don't leave, Daddy - no stop it!"
Goes in her pocket, pulls out a tiny necklace locket
It's got a picture, "this'll keep you safe Daddy, take it withcha'"
I look up, it's just me standing in the mirror
These f***in' walls must be talking, cuz man I can hear 'em
They're saying "You've got one more chance to do right" - and it's tonight
Now go out there and show that you love 'em before it's too late
And just as I go to walk out of my bedroom door
It's turns to a stage, they're gone, and this spotlight is on
And I'm singing...
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
Just smile back
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
Just smile back...
Sixty thousand people, all jumping out their seat
The curtain closes, they're throwing roses at my feet
I take a bow and thank you all for coming out
They're screaming so loud, I take one last look at the crowd
I glance down, I don't believe what I'm seeing
"Daddy it's me, help Mommy, her wrists are bleeding,"
But baby we're in Sweden, how did you get to Sweden?
"I followed you Daddy, you told me that you weren't leavin'
"You lied to me Dad, and now you make Mommy sad
"And I bought you this coin, it says 'Number One Dad'
"That's all I wanted, I just want to give you this coin
"I get the point - fine, me and Mommy are going"
But baby wait, "it's too late Dad, you made the choice
"Now go out there and show 'em that you love 'em more than us"
That's what they want, they want you Marshall, they keep.. screamin' your name
It's no wonder you can't go to sleep, just take another pill
Yeah, I bet you you will. You rap about it, yeah, word, k-keep it real
I hear applause, all this time I couldn't see
How could it be, that the curtain is closing on me
I turn around, find a gun on the ground, cock it
Put it to my brain and scream "god Shady" and pop it
The sky darkens, my life flashes, the plane that I was supposed to be on crashes and burns to ashes
That's when I wake up, alarm clock's ringin', there's birds singin'
It's Spring and Hailie's outside swinging, I walk right up to Kim and kiss her
Tell her I miss her, Hailie just smiles and winks at her little sister
Almost as if to say..
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
Just smile back
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
Just smile back...
