When I'm Gone

 

 

Yeah...

It's my life...

My own words I guess...

 

[Eminem]

Have you ever loved someone so much, you'd give an arm for?

Not the expression, no, literally give an arm for?

When they know they're your heart

And you know you were their armour

And you will destroy anyone who would try to harm 'em

But what happens when karma, turns right around and bites you?

And everything you stand for, turns on you, despite you?

What happens when you become the main source of a pain?

"Daddy look what I made", Dad's gotta go catch a plane

"Daddy where's Mommy? I can't find Mommy where is she?"

I don't know go play Hailie, baby, your Daddy's busy

Daddy's writing this song, this song ain't gonna write itself

I'll give you one underdog then you gotta swing by yourself

Then turn right around on that song and tell her you love her

And put hands on her mother, who's a spitting image of her

That's Slim Shady, yeah baby, Slim Shady's crazy

Shady made me, but tonight Shady's rocka-by-baby...

 

[Chorus]

And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn

Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice

Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling

And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain

Just smile back

And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn

Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice

Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling

And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain

Just smile back...

 

[Eminem]

I keep having this dream, I'm pushin' Hailie on the swing

She keeps screaming, she don't want me to sing

"You're making Mommy cry, why? Why is Mommy crying?"

Baby, Daddy ain't leaving no more, "Daddy you're lying

"You always say that, you always say this is the last time

"But you ain't leaving no more, Daddy you're mine"

She's piling boxes in front of the door trying to block it

"Daddy please, Daddy don't leave, Daddy - no stop it!"

Goes in her pocket, pulls out a tiny necklace locket

It's got a picture, "this'll keep you safe Daddy, take it withcha'"

I look up, it's just me standing in the mirror

These stinkin' walls must be talking, cause man I can hear 'em

They're saying "You've got one more chance to do right" - and it's tonight

Now go out there and show that you love 'em before it's too late

And just as I go to walk out of my bedroom door

It's turns to a stage, they're gone, and this spotlight is on

And I'm singing...

 

[Chorus]

 

[Eminem]

Sixty thousand people, all jumping out their seat

The curtain closes, they're throwing roses at my feet

I take a bow and thank you all for coming out

They're screaming so loud, I take one last look at the crowd

I glance down, I don't believe what I'm seeing

"Daddy it's me, help Mommy, her wrists are bleeding"

But baby we're in Sweden, how did you get to Sweden?

"I followed you Daddy, you told me that you weren't leavin'

"You lied to me Dad, and now you make Mommy sad

"And I bought you this coin, it says 'Number One Dad'

"That's all I wanted, I just want to give you this coin"

"I get the point - fine, me and Mommy are gone"

But baby wait, "it's too late Dad, you made the choice

"Now go up there and show 'em that you love 'em more than us"

That's what they want, they want you Marshall, they keep.. screamin' your name

It's no wonder you can't go to sleep, just take another pill

Yeah, I bet you you will. You rap about it, yeah, word, k-keep it real

I hear applause, all this time I couldn't see

How could it be, that the curtain is closing on me

I turn around, find a gun on the ground, it

Put it to my brain and scream "Die Shady" and pump it

The sky darkens, my life flashes, the plane that I was

supposed to be on crashes and burns to ashes

That's when I wake up, alarm clock's ringin', there's birds singin'

It's Spring and Hailie's outside swinging, I walk up to Kim and kiss her

Tell her I miss her, Hailie just smiles and winks at her little sister

Almost as if to say..

 

[Chorus]

[Eminem as 'Stan']

Dear Slim, I wrote but you still ain't callin

I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom

I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not-a got 'em

There probably was a problem at the post office or somethin

Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em

but anyways; eff it, what's been up? Man how's your daughter?

My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm 'bout to be a father

If I have a daughter, guess what I'ma call her? I'ma name her Bonnie

I read about your Uncle Ronnie too I'm sorry

I had a friend kill himself over some {*silent*} who didn't want him

I know you probably hear this everyday, but I'm your biggest fan

I even got the underground stuff that you did with Skam

I got a room full of your posters and your pictures man

I like the stuff you did with Rawkus too, that sh... was fat

Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back

just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan

This is Stan

 

[Chorus: Elton John]

My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why

I got out of bed at all

The morning rain clouds up my window

Oh I can't see at all!

And even if I could it would all be gray

But your picture on my wall

It reminds me, that it's not so bad

Not so bad..

 

[Eminem as 'Stan']

Dear Slim, you still ain't called or wrote, I hope you have a chance

I ain't mad - I just think it's messed up you don't answer fans

If you didn't wanna talk to me outside your concert

you didn't have to, but you coulda signed an autograph for Matthew

That's my little brother man, he's only six years old

We waited in the blistering cold for you

for four hours and you just said, "No"

That's pretty crummy man - you're like his favorite idol

He wants to be just like you man, he likes you more than I do

I ain't that mad though, I just don't like bein lied to

Remember when we met in Denver - you said if I'd write you

you would write back - see I'm just like you in a way

I never knew my father neither;

he used to always cheat on my mom and beat her

I can relate to what you're sayin in your songs

so when I have a crummy day, I drift away and put 'em on

Cause I don't really got {*edit*} else so that {*edit*} helps when I'm depressed

I even got a tattoo of your name across the chest

Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds

It's like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me

See everything you say is real, and I respect you cause you tell it

My girlfriend's jealous cause I talk about you 24/7

But she don't know you like I know you Slim, no one does

She don't know what it was like for people like us growin up

You gotta call me man, I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose

Sincerely yours, Stan -- P.S. -- we should be together too

 

[Chorus: Elton John]

 

[Eminem as 'Stan']

Dear Mister-I'm-Too-Good-To-Call-Or-Write-My-Fans

This'll be the last package I ever send your

It's been six months and still no word - I don't deserve it?

I know you got my last two letters;

I wrote the addresses on 'em perfect

So this is my cassette I'm sendin you, I hope you hear it

I'm in the car right now, I'm doin 90 on the freeway

Hey Slim, I drank a fifth of vodka, you dare me to drive?

You know the song by Phil Collins, "In the Air of the Night"

about that guy who coulda saved that other guy from drownin

but didn't, then Phil saw it all, then at a a show he found him?

That's kinda how this is, you coulda rescued me from drownin

Now it's too late - I'm on a 1000 downers now, I'm drowsy

and all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call

I hope you know I ripped +ALL+ of your pictures off the wall

I loved you Slim, we coulda been together, think about it

You ruined it now, I hope you go to sleep and you dream about it

And when you dream I hope you can't sleep and you SCREAM about it

I hope your conscience EATS AT YOU and you can't BREATHE without me

See Slim; {*screaming*} Shut up {*edited*}! I'm tryin to talk!

Hey Slim, that's my girlfriend screamin in the trunk

but I didn't slit her throat, I just tied her up, see I ain't like you

Cause if she suffocates she'll suffer more, then she'll die too

Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the bridge now

Oh shoot, I forgot, how'm I supposed to send this tape out?

{*car tires squeal*} {*CRASH*}

.. {*brief silence*} .. {*LOUD splash*}

 

[Chorus: Elton John]

 

[Eminem]

Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner but I just been busy

You said your girlfriend's pregnant now, how far along is she?

Look, I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that

and here's an autograph for your brother, I wrote it on a Starter cap

I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I musta missed you

Don't think I did that sh... intentionally just to diss you

But what's this stuff you said about you like to cut your wrists too?

I say that stuff just clownin dawg, c'mon - how messed up is you?

You got some issues Stan, I think you need some counselin

to help your from bouncin off the walls when you get down some

And what's this junk about us meant to be together?

That type of crap'll make me not want us to meet each other

I really think you and your girlfriend need each other

or maybe you just need to treat her better

I hope you get to read this letter, I just hope it reaches you in time

before you hurt yourself, I think that you'll be doin just fine

if you relax a little, I'm glad I inspire you but Stan

why are you so mad? Try to understand, that I do want you as a fan

I just don't want you to do some crazy bit

I seen this one {*edit*} on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick

Some dude was drunk and drove this car over a bridge

and had his girlfriend in the trunk, and she was pregnant with his kid

and in the car they found a tape, but they didn't say who it was to

Come to think about, his name was.. it was you
