(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 pretty much 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 that I would write a song for you and it would change my life Kids with tears in the eyes come up to me love to me and telling me that they look up to me Strangest thing I recently has come to be That I'd get dissed for what Jesus done for me But there's a whole side of things I've come to see Still a influence you got upon this industry But enough of me 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 you, cause 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 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 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 written a song to you kinda based the same way. It's Dear Slim.' He said, 'What's he doin, dissin me?' I said, 'No.'"
Dear Slim, I wrote you but you ain't 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 left the CD in hands You might've to it, or you might've lost it Some say you heard it got mad and tossed it "Well did he hit you back?" Well that's the question that I get But I ya wife heard it and at least I know that she liked it But congratulations on your movie yo and I heard your record sales is like over 20 million But there's one 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 never goes away I was going to but it didn't have to be that way You see the line of what I always say Is that God puts back the broken pieces that were away If everyone you know up and goes away He'll still love you the very day that you're old and gray Still a lot of Christians, all they do is on you of dropping to their knees and taken time to pray for you It's obvious that you really love your daughter, And for I gotta say, well, I got respect for you But here it is, Slim Chapter 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 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? MTV's hating on me and that I'm biting you VH1 in and started ripping on me too It's so obvious seem to get my song confused I'll admit what I've said sound funny But I came at you just to paint you as the enemy I was never hating your or controversy I was never you and trying to make some money See I don't claim to know that you've experienced And I guess by now, well, already been hearin' this But in my life there is one thing I hold is Is a life without Christ is still a life that is never fixed 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 ones that they always What we say and how we live gives a better tomorrow I've had my of sorrow, plus man I've been rejected I've been chewed up, out and plus disrespected But if I die today and never another record 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 just die someday And n note well there's one thing left to say Is that it's 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 hand and I prayed, 'God use this and this moment to encourage Eminem into a relationship with you."
