(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 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' It's been like 3 years I wrote that song and A lot has now for you and I I had no clue that I would write a for you and it would change my life Kids with tears in the still come up to me Showing love to me and telling me that they up to me Strangest thing I recently has come to be That I'd get dissed for saying Jesus done for me But there's a whole 'nother side of things I've to see a huge influence you got upon this industry But of me cause it's not what I came to say to you now for what your mom and dad did to you A lot of kids relate 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 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 that song Dear Stan you did?' He said, 'Yeah.' I said, 'Well there's a guy 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 you but you still ain't callin' I met the guy who backstage gave you my and I'm still wondering what you man When he walked up to you and talked to you and left the CD in 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 know that she 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 got me thinkin' bro Does a mean anything if it's just gotta cost your soul? I thank God for the love never goes 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 back the broken that were thrown away If everyone you know just up and goes He'll still love you till the very day that old and gray Still a lot of Christians, all do is hate on you Instead of dropping to their knees and time to pray for you It's obvious that you really your daughter, dude And for that I say, well, I got respect for you But it is, Dear Slim Chapter Part 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 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, the junk that I'm goin' through? MTV's hating on me and that I'm biting you VH1 jumped in and started on me too It's so they seem to get my song confused I'll admit I've said could sound funny But I never at you just to paint you as the enemy I was never your or starting controversy I was blaming you and trying to make some money See I don't claim to know everything you've experienced And I guess by now, well, you've already hearin' this But in my life there is one I hold is this Is that a life without Christ is a life that is never fixed I'll admit it's a hard pill to That you and I days will always be the role models You see these kids, we're the that they always follow What we say and how we live gives them a better I've had my share of sorrow, plus man been rejected I've been up, spit 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 it can leave you blown away But check it bro, man, we call gonna die someday And n that note well there's one 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 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."
