(Chorus) La la la la la la la la
"Hello? Yeah man, I mind. Well, had a chance to go to the music awards. And I was in hope of getting a chance to 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 I wrote that song 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 in the eyes still come up to me love to me and telling me that they look up to me Strangest thing I recently has come to be I'd get dissed for saying what Jesus done for me But a whole 'nother side of things I've come to see Still a huge influence you got upon this But enough of me cause 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 really been there too I know there's a lot of pain and hurt now that you've been But there's still a love that God has gave to you
(Chorus) La la la la la la la la
"I just kinda prayed, I said, give me a chance to give 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 song to you kinda based the same way. It's called Dear Slim.' He said, 'What's he doin, me?' I said, 'No.'"
Dear Slim, I wrote you but you still ain't I met the guy who backstage gave you my and I'm still wondering you thought man When he walked up to you and talked to you and left the CD in your You might've listened to it, or you lost it say you heard it probably got mad and tossed it "Well did he hit you back?" Well that's the question I always get But I know ya wife heard it and at least I know she liked it But congratulations on your yo and I heard your record sales is like over 20 million sold But one thing that's really got me thinkin' bro Does a Grammy mean anything if it's just gotta cost soul? I thank God for the love that never away I was going to but it didn't have to be that way You see the bottom line of what I say Is that God puts back the broken that were thrown away If everyone you know just up and away still love you till the very day that you're old and gray Still a lot of Christians, all do is hate on you Instead of dropping to their knees and taken to pray for you It's obvious that you really love daughter, dude And for that I say, well, I got respect for you But here it is, Dear Chapter Part 2 From another cat still 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. 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 that I'm goin' through? MTV's hating on me and that I'm biting you VH1 in and started ripping on me too It's so obvious they 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 or starting controversy I was blaming you and trying to make some money See I don't claim to know everything you've experienced And I guess by now, well, you've been hearin' this But in my there is one thing I hold is this Is that a life without Christ is still a life that is never admit it's a hard pill to swallow That you and I these days will always be the models You see these kids, we're the ones that always follow What we say and how we live them a better tomorrow I've had my share of sorrow, plus man I've rejected I've been up, spit out and plus disrespected But if I die today and sell another record Jesus me more that I ever could have been expecting Life is hectic it can leave you blown But check it bro, man, we call gonna die someday And n that note well there's one left to say Is that it's still one love and one God and 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, use this and bless this moment to encourage Eminem into a relationship with you."
