Stepdad
Eminem Lyrics

One thing that sticks in my craw
One thing that really bothers me

When I was six and I saw my stepfather hittin' my mom
When I was six and I witnessed domestic violence between my stepdad and mom

Socked her right in her eyeball
He punched her directly in the eye

I'm startin' to think I'm psychotic
I'm starting to think I have a mental illness

With all the pictures that I draw of
With all the drawings I make depicting

Shit that I've already witnessed
The terrible things I have already seen

this probably twisted my thoughts
this probably caused my thoughts to become distorted

All I can hear is drama with mom and him
All I hear is constant arguments and drama between my mom and stepdad

I can always hear 'em arguin' down the hallways
I can always hear them arguing through the thin walls

The walls are thin so the noise is startin' to feel like the norm
The constant noise is starting to feel normal

My dog pissed on the carpet, he stomped it so hard
My dog peed on the carpet, and stepdad was so angry that he stomped on him

Doctors had to put it down
The dog had to be euthanized

He killed my chihuahua, this motherfucker
He killed my chihuahua, this awful person

Outside, I look like I'm calm
I may appear calm on the outside

Inside, I'm a tickin' time bomb
Inside, I'm filled with anger and ready to explode

Who sticks his dick in my mom (my mom)
Who has a sexual relationship with my mother

Hickory switch to my bottom, I counted sixty-nine times
He hit me with a stick so many times that I counted 69 hits

He swatted me with it, I'd cry
He hit me with it and I'd cry

He just started hittin' me harder
Then he started hitting me harder

God, I just wish I could jaw him
I wish I could fight back and hurt him

I'm fantasizin' at night when he's sleepin' at just the right time
I imagine hurting him when he is sleeping to get my revenge

Sneak up with a lethal injection and put him down like they did to my dog
Sneak up behind him and inject him with poison like they did with my dog

This fuckin' shit's like Saigon (Saigon)
The situation is like a war, it's chaotic

Neighbors called police on him
Neighbors called the police on him

So many battery charges, this dude's like lithium ion
He has been charged with assaulting people so many times, it's like he has a battery inside him

Then mom and him let bygones (bygones), just be bygones
My mom and stepdad let bygones be bygones and moved on from the past incidents

So on eggshells, I walk and just try not to piss this guy off
I try to avoid upsetting him to avoid his anger

So this year, I'm goin' to the fifth and I'm tall
I'm going to the fifth grade and I'm taller now

I'm five foot six on my block
I'm five foot six, the tallest kid on my block

Way bigger fish to fry, which is why I'm tryna get this bitch to fly off
I have bigger problems, which is why I'm trying to get this situation to end explosively

The handle and wait for the fist to fly to put this guy in a pine box
I'll wait for him to react and then fight back to end up putting him in a coffin

He's always lookin' for chaos but tonight I've cooked up a plan
He's always looking for trouble, but now I have a plan

So this Christmas, I got some color books and some crayons
I received coloring books and crayons for Christmas

I'm layin' on the floor, in the living room with some friends colorin'
I'm on the floor in the living room with my friends coloring

He walks by, kicks my arm and goes 'Whoops' and just laughs
He kicks my arm and laughs as he walks by me

I yelled for mom (mom) and as she's rushin' to my defense
I called for my mother and she came to my defense

I stood up and said, 'Fuck you punk' and I took off and ran
I stood up to him and called him a name, then ran away

To my bedroom, as I fled
I went to my bedroom while trying to escape

Knowin' shit would hit the fan
Knowing that things would get worse

Slammed the door and hid behind it with an aluminum bat
I slammed the bedroom door and hid behind it, holding an aluminum bat

He kicked it in
He broke down the door by kicking it

I swung it hard as I could at his head
I hit him with the bat as hard as I could in the head

His noodle went splat, he fell right at the foot of my bed
I hit him with the bat so hard that his head broke and he fell to the floor by my bed

I'm a little bit scared but my anger's overtooken the fear
I'm scared, but my anger is greater than my fear

I threw down the bat and just started whoopin' his ass
I threw the bat down and started punching him

Beat him with my bare hands, the big bad wolf ain't so bad
I hit him with my hands, he's not so tough after all

"Ding-dong," the pussy is dead, the bully finally gets his
He's dead and the bully finally got what he deserved

Stomped him until he pissed enough to fill a two liter with
I stomped on him until he urinated enough to fill a two-liter bottle

Then buried him next to my dog
I buried him next to my beloved dog

And if I go to juvie for this, I'ma tell 'em
And if I go to juvenile detention for this, I'll tell them
