(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 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 much keeping people away from him."
Dear Slim, I wrote you but you still ain't It's been like 3 years since I that song and A lot has now for you and I I had no clue that I 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 they up to me Strangest thing I seen recently has 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 influence you got upon industry But enough of me cause it's not what I to say to you Sorry now for your mom and dad did to you A lot of kids relate you, cause really they've been there too I know there's a lot of pain and hurt now 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 give him CD.' I had a chance to walk up to him and I said, 'Hey Eminem, you don't know me. But uh, you know 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, 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 still wondering you thought man When he up to you and talked to you and left the CD in your hands You listened to it, or you might've lost it Some say you heard it got mad and tossed it "Well did he hit you back?" that's the question that I always get But I know ya wife heard it and at least I know she liked it But congratulations on your movie yo and I heard your record sales is 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 your I thank God for the love that never away I was going to Hell but it didn't to be that way You see the bottom line of what I say Is that God puts the broken pieces that were thrown away If everyone you just up and goes away He'll still you till the very day that you're 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 It's obvious you really love your daughter, dude And for that I gotta say, well, I got for you But here it is, Dear Slim 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. He's actually showing you a lot of respect and love. There's a message of hope that he's giving you. If you 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."
Slim, hear the junk that 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 they seem to get my song I'll admit what I've could sound funny But I never came at you to paint you as the enemy I was never hating your or starting I was never you and trying to make some money 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 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 role You see these kids, we're the that they always follow we say and how we live gives them a better tomorrow I've had my share of sorrow, plus man I've rejected I've been chewed up, spit out and plus But if I die today and never another record Jesus gave me that I ever could have been expecting Life is hectic it can leave you blown But check it bro, man, we call just gonna die And n that note well there's one thing 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 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."
