[edit] Song summary

The song starts with the sound of a child program and the announcer ask about father and daughter relationships. Eminem is heard tapping something and then sniffing, presumeably cutting cocaine and then snorting it. After that, Hallie and Eminem start talking in harmony. The first verse is showing the common characteristic of the "Shady" persona. The second verse, notorious among fans for its rapid and extended string of profanities, is aimed more about Marshall's mom in a negative manner. The final verse is talking about the problems he faces in life, what people think of him and then the problems with his wife (albeit brief) he even goes as far to say that he wouldn't let Hailie listen to him neither.
