In this song Eminem is making a parody of parents who blame him for their childrens behaviour because they listen to his music. "I make fight music, for high school kids I put lives at risk when I drive like this. I put wives at risk with a knife like this!" He says the parents take his lyrics too seriously "Get a sense of humour" and points out the irony of their words. "You want me to fix up lyrics while the president gets his dick sucked?" Eminem says kids don't take his music seriously, "Quit tryin to censor music, this is for your kid's amusement " The way a child acts is based on how their parents raised them, not because of his music. "don't blame me when lil' Eric jumps off of the terrace You shoulda been watchin him - apparently you ain't parents " What kids listen to are parents responsibility not the artist and they have no place to judge him, "Man I'm just as fucked up as you woulda been if you woulda been, in my shoes, who woulda thought Slim Shady would be somethin that you woulda bought that woulda made you get a gun and shoot at a cop I just said it - I ain't know if you'd do it or not"

This song is about Eminem having no clue he'd be famous. People are protesting (in real life) about Eminem! His swearing is "affecting their kids!" Eminem says "fuck you all" and makes some pretty good lines in this song.
