As the song title suggest, “My Mom” adds to a long list of tracks that showcases Em’s scorn for his mother, Debbie Mathers. In the song, Em elaborates on how his drug habit stemmed from his mother bullying and tricking him into taking pills as a child. Despite the harsh accusations, Debbie had time to prepare for them, Em actually did warn her already ten years earlier on “My Name Is.”

Make a record about doing drugs and name it after her

In “Cleanin' Out My Closet” from The Eminem Show, Em described how his mother’s drug abuse affected him negatively as a kid. In the chorus of “My Mom” he sings: “That’s why I’m on what I’m on ‘cause I’m my mom,” he has now acquired the same habits as his mother, and a later track on Relapse, “Déjà Vu,” elaborates on how his habits affects his own kids.
