He has a sudden change of heart (Shit is mine)
And suddenly (I have to do this)
His conscience comes into play (I have to do this). Alright, stop (Huh?)

The song is mainly about the misunderstanding in our society as people often consider rap music absurd.
But by the lyrics, Eminem changes their minds:
These ideas are nightmares to white parents
Whose worst fear is a child with dyed hair and who likes earrings
Like whatever they say has no bearing
It’s so scary in a house that allows no swearing
To see him walking around with his headphones blaring
Alone in his zone, cold, and he doesn’t care
He’s a problem child, and what bothers him all comes out
When he talks about his f- dad walking out
Because he hates him so bad that he blocks him out
If he ever saw him again, he’d probably knock him out
His thoughts are whacked, and he’s mad, so he’s talking back
Talking black, brainwashed from rock and rap
He sags his pants, doo-rags, and a stocking cap

Yeah, my life is a bitch, but you know nothing about her
Been to hell and back, I can show you vouchers
I’m rolling sweets, and I’m smoking sour
Married to the game, but she broke her vows
That’s why my bars are full of broken bottles
And my nightstands are full of open Bibles, uh

But I don’t go around fire expecting not to sweat
And these niggas know I lay them down, make them beg
