(Chorus) La la la la la la la la
"Hello? man, I don't mind. Well, had a 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 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 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 Showing to me and telling me that they look up to me Strangest I seen recently has come to be That I'd get dissed for what Jesus done for me But there's a whole 'nother of things I've come to see Still a huge influence you got upon this But enough of me it's not what I came to say to you Sorry now for what mom and dad did to you A lot of kids relate with you, cause really they've there too I know there's a lot of pain and hurt now 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 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 gave you my song and I'm wondering what you thought man he walked up to you and talked to you and left the CD in your hands You might've listened to it, or you 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 ya wife heard it and at least I know that she liked it But congratulations on your yo and I heard your record sales is like over 20 million sold But there's one thing that's really got me bro Does a Grammy mean anything if it's just cost your soul? I thank God for the love that never goes I was to Hell but it didn't have to be that way You see the bottom line of I always say Is that God puts back the broken pieces were thrown away If everyone you just up and goes away He'll still love you till the very day that you're old and a lot of Christians, all they do is hate on you Instead of dropping to their knees and taken time to for you It's obvious you really love your daughter, dude And for that I say, well, I got respect for you But here it is, Dear Slim Chapter 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 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 junk I'm goin' through? hating on me and saying that I'm biting you VH1 jumped in and ripping on me too It's so obvious they seem to get my confused admit what I've said could sound funny But I never came at you to paint you as the enemy I was never hating your or controversy I was never blaming you and trying to make some See I don't to know everything that you've experienced And I guess by now, well, you've already been hearin' But in my there is one thing I hold is this Is a life without Christ is still a life that is never fixed I'll admit it's a pill to swallow That you and I these will always be the role models You see kids, we're the ones that they always follow we say and how we live gives them a better tomorrow I've had my of sorrow, plus man I've been rejected been chewed up, spit out and plus disrespected But if I die today and sell another record Jesus gave me more that I ever have been expecting Life is hectic it can you blown away But check it bro, man, we call just gonna die And n that note there's one thing left to say Is it's still one love 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 and I prayed, 'God use this and bless this moment to encourage Eminem into a relationship with you."
