(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 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 you but you still ain't callin' It's been like 3 years since I wrote song and A lot has now for you and I I had no clue I would write a song for you and it would change my life Kids tears in the eyes still come up to me Showing love to me and telling me that look up to me Strangest I seen recently has come to be That I'd get dissed for saying Jesus done for me But there's a whole 'nother side of things come to see Still a influence you got upon this industry But enough of me 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 there's a lot of pain 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 kinda prayed, I said, 'God 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. called Dear Slim.' He said, 'What's he doin, dissin me?' I said, 'No.'"
Dear Slim, I wrote you but you ain't callin' I met the guy who gave you my song and I'm wondering what you thought man When he walked up to you and talked to you and left the CD in your You might've to it, or you might've lost it Some say you 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 that she it But congratulations on your movie yo and I 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 going to but it didn't have to be that way You see the line of what I always say Is that God puts back the broken pieces that thrown away If everyone you just up and goes away He'll still love you till the very day that old and gray a lot of Christians, all they do is hate on you Instead of dropping to their knees and taken to pray for you obvious that you really love your daughter, dude And for that I say, well, I got respect for you But it is, Dear Slim Chapter Part 2 From another cat 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 would like to give you one of his CDs.' He said, 'Man I'll take it.' He took it and we sat 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 hating on me and saying I'm biting you VH1 jumped in and started on me too It's so they seem to get my song confused I'll admit what I've said sound funny But I came at you just to paint you as the enemy I was never your or starting controversy I was never blaming you and trying to make some See I don't claim to everything that you've experienced And I guess by now, well, you've already hearin' this But in my life there is one thing I hold is Is that a life without is still a life that is never fixed I'll admit a hard pill to swallow you and I these days will always be the role models You see these kids, we're the ones that they always What we say and how we gives them a better tomorrow I've had my share of sorrow, man I've been rejected I've been chewed up, spit out and disrespected But if I die today and sell another record Jesus gave me more I ever could have been expecting is hectic it can leave you blown away But check it bro, man, we call just gonna die And n that note well one thing left to say Is that it's still one 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."
