(Chorus) La la la la la la la la
"Hello? man, I don't mind. Well, had a chance to go to the music awards. And I was in hope of getting a to meet Eminem. And I had KJ's CD with me, yours, and the Lord opened up the door for me to be able to meet him. After he won an award he was backstage with his bodyguards around him and they were pretty much keeping people away from him."
Dear Slim, I wrote you but you still ain't It's been like 3 years since I wrote that and A lot has now for you and I I had no clue that I would write a song for you and it would change my Kids with tears in the eyes come up to me Showing love to me and telling me that they up to me thing I seen recently has come to be That I'd get for saying what Jesus done for me But there's a whole side of things I've come to see a huge influence you got upon this industry But of me cause it's not what I came to say to you Sorry now for your mom and dad did to you A lot of kids relate with you, cause they've been there too I know there's a lot of and hurt now that you've been through But still a real love that God has gave to you
(Chorus) La la la la la la la la
"I just kinda prayed, I said, 'God give me a chance to give him CD.' I had a chance to walk up to him and I said, 'Hey Eminem, you don't know me. But uh, you know that song Dear Stan you did?' He said, 'Yeah.' I said, 'Well a guy that's written a song to you kinda based the same way. It's called Dear Slim.' He said, 'What's he doin, dissin me?' I said, 'No.'"
Dear Slim, I you but you still ain't callin' I met the guy who gave you my song and I'm wondering what you thought man When he up to you and talked to you and left the CD in your hands You might've listened to it, or you might've it Some say you it probably got mad and tossed it "Well did he hit you back?" Well that's the that I always get But I know ya wife heard it and at least I that she liked it But congratulations on your movie yo and I heard record sales is like over 20 million sold But there's one thing really got me thinkin' bro Does a Grammy mean anything if it's just cost your soul? I thank God for the love that never goes I was going to Hell but it didn't to be that way You see the line of what I always say Is that God puts back the broken that were thrown away If everyone you know just up and goes He'll still love you the very day that you're old and gray a lot of Christians, all they do is hate on you Instead of dropping to knees and taken time to pray for you It's obvious you really love your daughter, dude And for that I gotta say, well, I got for you But here it is, Dear Slim Chapter 2 From cat still trying to make it just like you
(Chorus) La la la la la la la la
"I said, 'Nah man, it's actually the opposite. He's actually showing you a lot of respect and love. There's a message of hope that he's giving you. If you don't mind I like to give you one of his CDs.' He said, 'Man I'll take it.' He took it and we sat there and talked just a little bit more. Thing is, I don't know if he ever heard it or not."
Slim, hear the junk that I'm goin' through? MTV's on me and saying that I'm biting you VH1 jumped in and ripping on me too so obvious they seem to get my song confused I'll admit what I've could sound funny But I never at you just to paint you as the enemy I was never hating your or controversy I was blaming you and trying to make some money See I don't claim to know that you've experienced And I by now, well, you've already been hearin' this But in my life there is one thing I is this Is that a life without Christ is still a life is never fixed I'll admit it's a hard to swallow That you and I these days will always be the role You see kids, we're the ones that they always follow we say and how we live gives them a better tomorrow I've had my of sorrow, plus man I've been rejected I've been up, spit out and plus disrespected But if I die and never sell another record Jesus gave me more that I ever could been expecting is hectic it can leave you blown away But check it bro, man, we just gonna die someday And n that well there's one thing left to say Is that still one love and one God and only one way
(Chorus) La la la la la la la la
"I said, 'He's showing you a lot of respect, a lot of love. This is a message from God to you through him. I'm just asking will you just take it and listen to it?' He said, 'Yeah I'll take it.' So he took it from my hand and I prayed, 'God use this and bless moment to encourage Eminem into a relationship with you."
