This song reflect to his relationship
to his mum.
Here some lyrics to explain the
relation:" My faggot father must have
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 fuckin
wished he would die
I look at Hailie, and I couldn't picture
leavin her side
Even if I hated Kim, I grit my teeth and I'd
try
To make it work with her at least for
Hailie's sake” Here he is referring back to
his daughter that how much he loves her
even if the relation with his wife isn’t
going well.
“And Hailie's gettin so big now; you
should see her, she's beautiful
But you'll never see her - she won't
even be at your funeral!” That line

Youtube what status
Eminem has,

more commercial then all
of his other songs.
