The song is called “97' Bonnie & Clyde” as an homage to 2Pac’s “‘96 Bonnie and Clyde”. Instead, he speaks calmly, frequently using baby talk ( “hypocorisms”), as the entire song is presented as a dialogue between him and his infant daughter as they embark on a late-night escapade involving the disposal of Kim’s body. But unlike “Kim”, where Em angrily screams the lyrics, he doesn’t even raise his voice here. “Kim” (where Em sets the scene by depicting the murders of Kim, her “new husband” and his “stepson”) became the prequel to this song, as “Kim” was written a year later (1998). It was called “Just the Two of Us” on The Slim Shady EP. Perhaps the most controversial track from Eminem’s debut, the song is titled “97' Bonnie & Clyde” on The Slim Shady LP (yes, with the apostrophe after “97”).

Just the two of us, just the two of us And when we ride Just the two of us, just the two of us Just you and I Just the two of us, just the two of us And when we ride Just the two of us, just the two of us Just you and I Wake up, sweepyhead, we're here, before we pway We're gonna take Mama for a wittle walk along the pier Baby, don't cry, honey, don't get the wrong idea Mama's too sweepy to hear you screamin' in her ear (Mama!) That's why you can't get her to wake, but don't worry Dada made a nice bed for Mommy at the bottom of the lake Here, you wanna help Dada tie a rope around this rock? (yea) We'll tie it to her footsie then we'll roll her off the dock Ready now, here we go, on the count of free One, two, free - whee! (woosh!) There goes Mama, spwashin' in the water No more fightin' with Dad, no more restrainin' order No more stepdada, no more new brother Blow her kisses bye-bye, tell Mama you wuv her (Mommy!)

(Nah) Maybe when you're old enough To understand a little better, I'll explain it to ya But for now we'll just say Mama was real, real bad She was bein' mean to Dad and made him real, real mad But I still feel sad that I put her on timeout Sit back in your chair, honey, quit tryna climb out!

She's takin' a little nap in the trunk Oh, that smell?

(no!) And don't look so upset, why you actin' bashful? Don't you wanna help Dada build a sandcastle? (yeah!) And Mama said she wants to show you how far she can float And don't worry about that little boo-boo on her throat It's just a little scratch – it don't hurt Her was eatin' dinner while you were sweepin' And spilled ketchup on her shirt Mama's messy, ain't she? We'll let her wash off in the water And me and you can pway by ourselves, can't we?
