(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 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 I would write 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 that look up to me Strangest thing I recently has come to be That I'd get dissed for saying what Jesus for me But there's a whole 'nother side of I've come to see Still a huge you got upon this industry But enough of me cause it's not I came to say to you now for what your mom and dad did to you A lot of kids relate with you, really they've been there too I know there's a lot of pain and hurt now that been through But there's still a real love God has gave to you
(Chorus) La la la la la la la la
"I just kinda prayed, I said, 'God 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 still callin' I met the guy who backstage gave you my and I'm wondering what you thought man When he walked up to you and talked to you and the CD in your hands You might've to it, or you might've lost it Some say you heard it probably got mad and it "Well did he hit you back?" Well that's the question that I get But I know ya wife heard it and at I know that she liked it But on your movie yo and I heard your record sales is like over 20 million sold But there's one thing that's really got me bro a Grammy mean anything if it's just 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 line of what I always say Is that God puts back the broken that were thrown away If you know just up and goes away He'll still 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 time to 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 Slim 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. 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 heard it or not."
Dear Slim, the junk that I'm goin' through? MTV's on me and saying that I'm biting you VH1 in and started ripping on me too It's so obvious they seem to get my song I'll admit what I've said sound funny But I never came at you just to you as the enemy I was hating your or starting controversy I was never blaming you and trying to some money See I don't to know everything that you've experienced And I by now, well, you've already been hearin' this But in my life is one thing I hold is this Is that a life without Christ is a life that is never fixed I'll admit a hard pill to swallow That you and I these days always be the role models You see these kids, we're the ones that always follow What we say and how we live gives a better tomorrow I've had my share of sorrow, plus man I've rejected I've been chewed up, out and plus disrespected But if I die today and never sell another Jesus gave me more that I ever could have been Life is hectic it can you blown away But check it bro, man, we call just die someday And n note well there's 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 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."
