(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 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 much keeping people away from him."
Dear Slim, I wrote you but you still callin' been like 3 years since I wrote that song 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 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 seen recently has to be That I'd get dissed for saying Jesus done for me But there's a '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 with you, cause really they've been there too I know a lot of pain and hurt now that you've been through But there's still a real that God has gave to you
(Chorus) La la la la la la la la
"I just 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 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, dissin me?' I said, 'No.'"
Dear Slim, I wrote you but you ain't callin' I met the guy who backstage you my song and I'm still what you thought man When he walked up to you and to you and left the CD in your hands 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 that I get But I know ya heard it and at least I know that she liked it But congratulations on your movie yo and I heard your 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 gotta cost your soul? I thank God for the that never goes away I was going to Hell but it didn't have to be way You see the bottom of what I always say Is that God back the broken pieces that were thrown away If you know just up and goes away He'll still love you 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 and taken time to pray for you It's obvious that you love your daughter, dude And for I gotta say, well, I got respect 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 would like to 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 hating on me and saying I'm biting you VH1 jumped in and 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 came at you just to paint you as the I was hating your or starting controversy I was never blaming you and trying to make money See I don't claim to know that you've experienced And I guess by now, well, you've already been this But in my life is one thing I hold is this Is that a life without Christ is still a life that is fixed I'll admit it's a hard pill to 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 them a better had my share of sorrow, plus man I've been rejected I've been up, spit out and plus disrespected But if I die today and never sell another Jesus gave me more I ever could have been expecting Life is it can leave you blown away But check it bro, man, we just gonna die someday And n that note well one thing 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 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 this moment to encourage Eminem into a relationship with you."
