Parents need to know that this song is full of grotesque, unapologetically violent lyrics about murderous, sociopathic impulses. The video is full of ultra-violent scenes of blood, gore, and murder -- Eminem is seen in a bathtub filled with "blood" and standing over the bloodied corpses of dead (mostly female) victims.
Positive messages:The song is like a horror film set to hip-hop beats. The sociopathic, murderous tirade goes far beyond social misbehavior.
Violence:The song is a diatribe glorifying evil and violence. The video is awash in blood and victims -- and the vast majority of them are young women. The chorus sums things up: "It's 3 a.m. in the morning, put my key in the door, bodies laying all over the floor and
I don't remember how they got there, but I guess I must've killed 'em, killed 'em."
Sex:A warped sensibility permeates the song, as in the lyrics where Eminem talks about masturbating while watching Hannah Montana.
Language:Although there are very few profanities, the violent lyrics go into such detail they are profane without the use of any four-letter words."I wrapped him in Christmas lights, pushed him in the stinking tub, cut him up into pieces and just when I went to drink his blood, I thought I outta drink his bathwater,
that outta be fun."
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:Abusing prescription drugs is the least of a listener's concerns on this single, however Eminem does rap casually about "Swallowing a calotapin while I'm not in and out of ionamin," referencing a cocktail of "uppers" and "downers."

Eminem shocked the music world when he released "The Slim Shady LP" in 1999. Nobody in mainstream rap had ever attempted something quite like it. And the fact that nobody even knew who this guy was made it even scarier. Nobody knew when he was joking and when he was being dead serious. Featuring explicit descriptions of grotesque, brutal violence, rape, perverse sexuality, and language that would make Rudy Ray Moore blush, the album is also known as one of the most important records in hip-hop music today. Well, it's been 10 years since that album was released. Nowadays, we hear that kind of music on the radio 24/7, and whatever shock value it may have had is completely gone. Not only that, but practically EVERYONE knows who Eminem is nowadays as well. So... how does Eminem shock audiences again? He doesn't, but he really, really tries to. In this single, he leaves a string of bodies lying behind a McDonald's counter, masturbates to Hannah Montana, drinks a victim's bathwater (?), pops dozens of pills, ect. ect. ect. It's all pretty ridiculous, and Marshall is trying way too hard to be "shocking" again. There is much better rap and "horrorcore" music out there. Don't waste your time with this cry for attention.
I Listened To 3AM When It Leaked But When The Video Came Out,It Was Extremely Freaky You Can Even See Peoples Fingers Cut Off But Great Song Anyway,If Eminem Hates Hannah Montana,Join The Club. But If Your Kid Is 11 And Understands These Kinds Of Stuff,You Don't Really Need To Block Eminem Because In A Weeks Time,Heaven Is Released.If You Want To Hear A New Song From Eminem Go On Youtube And Type In Eminem Beautiful Beause It Is One Of The Best Relapse Songs Out
At least get the lyrics right. Before you type them. It makes you look stupid (not that you;re very bright anyways". The line about the Klonopin is "Swallowing the Klonopin while I'm nodding in and out on the ottoman". The lyrics are printed inside the book of the CD, so if you were to look them up online... their probably right. Unless an idiot like you posted them. This song is normal for Detroit rap and is tame in comparison to other artists who solely record that type of music. This is the type of music that I grew up listening too starting when I was 9.
incredibly violent and very explicit...NOT for kids
when i first heard this track,i was pretty offended.i knew eminem was pretty messed up,but this song was outrageousely offensive and EXTREMLEY violent.disgusting,scychopathic,and just plain bad.parents beware,dont let your younger kids listen to this song,or your older teenagers at that.stay away.
Too violent. Violence is already frightning and makes my heart beat go real fast. The video after you've listened to the song isn't that scary but factor in curses 1 S--t and a--, I'm losing hope for relapse.
This song is the shizz. I brush my teeth to this song. Strongly recommended for children of all ages and senior citizens alike.Some of his finest work.
This song is... beyond creepy. I'm usually a fan of violent things, but after I heard this song I couldn't sleep for a night. It's super-violent, disturbing, and twisted. On the topic of the actual song, the lyrics are disgusting, and the tune is weak and not catchy at all. My respect for Eminem and his music is fading. I hope I will be lucky enough to never have to listen to this song again
It's 3 a.m. in the morning, put my key in the door, bodies laying all over the floor and I don't remember how they got there, but I guess I must've killed 'em, killed 'em I love the chorus. Eminem is fascinated by the workings of serial killers minds. But you might not want to trust me, my role model is Wednesday Addams.
