(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 chance 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 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 a song for you and it would change my life with tears in the eyes still come up to me Showing love to me and telling me they look up to me Strangest thing I seen has come to be That I'd get dissed for what Jesus done for me But there's a whole 'nother side of things come to see Still a huge influence you got upon industry But enough of me cause it's not what I to say to you Sorry now for what mom and dad did to you A lot of kids relate with you, really they've been there too I there's a lot of pain and hurt now that you've been through But there's 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 him this 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 there's a guy that's written a to you kinda based the same way. It's called Dear Slim.' He said, 'What's he doin, dissin me?' I said, 'No.'"
Slim, I wrote you but you still ain't callin' I met the guy who backstage you my song and I'm still wondering what you 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 lost it Some say you heard it 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 I know that she liked it But congratulations on your yo and I heard your record sales is like over 20 million sold But there's one that's really got me thinkin' bro Does a Grammy mean anything if it's just gotta cost your I thank God for the that never goes away I was to Hell but it didn't have to be that way You see the bottom of what I always say Is God puts back the broken pieces that were thrown away If everyone you know just up and goes still love you till the very day that you're old and gray Still a lot of Christians, all do is hate on you of dropping to their knees and taken time to pray for you It's that you really love your daughter, dude And for I gotta say, well, I got respect for you But here it is, Slim Chapter Part 2 another 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. 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 would 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."
Dear Slim, hear the junk I'm goin' through? MTV's hating on me and saying that I'm you VH1 jumped in and started on me too It's so obvious seem to get my song confused I'll admit I've said could sound funny But I never came at you to paint you as the enemy I was never hating your or starting I was blaming you and trying to make some money See I claim to know everything that you've experienced And I guess by now, well, you've already been hearin' But in my life is one thing I hold is this Is that a life without is still a life that is never fixed I'll it's a hard pill to swallow That you and I these days will be the role models You see these kids, the ones that they always follow What we say and how we live gives a better tomorrow I've had my share of sorrow, plus man been rejected I've been chewed up, out and plus disrespected But if I die today and never sell record Jesus gave me more that I ever could have expecting Life is hectic it can you blown away But it bro, man, we call just gonna die someday And n note well there's one thing left to say Is that it's 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 and I prayed, 'God use this and bless this moment to encourage Eminem into a relationship with you."
