(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 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 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 write a song for you and it change my life Kids with tears in the eyes still up to me Showing 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 what Jesus done for me But there's a 'nother side of things I've come to see Still a huge influence you got this industry But of me cause 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 really they've there too I know there's a lot of pain and hurt now that you've been But there's still a 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 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. 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 still what you thought man When he walked up to you and 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 that I always get But I know ya wife heard it and at least I that she liked it But congratulations on your movie yo and I heard your record is like over 20 million sold But there's one thing that's got me thinkin' 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 back the broken pieces that were thrown away If everyone you know just up and away He'll still love you till the very day that you're old and 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 you really love your daughter, dude And for I gotta say, well, I got respect for you But here it is, Dear Slim Chapter 2 From another cat still trying to 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 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 seem to get my song confused I'll admit what said could sound funny But I never at you just to paint you as the enemy I was never hating or starting controversy I was never blaming you and trying to make money See I don't claim to everything that you've experienced And I guess by now, well, already been hearin' this But in my life there is one thing I is this Is a life without Christ is still a life that is never fixed I'll admit it's a hard to swallow That you and I these days will always be the models You see these kids, we're the ones that they 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 disrespected But if I die and never sell another record Jesus gave me more that I ever could have expecting Life is hectic it can leave you away But it bro, man, we call just gonna die someday And n that note well there's one thing to say Is that 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 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."
