Introduction]
Yeah...
It´s my life...
My own words I guess...
[Verse 1]
Have you ever loved someone so much, you´d give an arm for?
Not the expression, no, literally give an arm for?
When they know they´re your heart
And you know you were their armour
And you will destroy anyone who would try to harm ´em
But what happens when karma, turns right around and bites you?
And everything you stand for, turns on you, despite you?
What happens when you become the main source of a pain?
"Daddy look what I made", Dad´s gotta go catch a plane
"Daddy where´s Mommy? I can´t find Mommy where is she?"
I don´t know go play Hailie, baby, your Daddy´s busy
Daddy´s writing this song, this song ain´t gonna write itself
I´ll give you one underdog then you gotta swing by yourself
Then turn right around on that song and tell her you love her
And put hands on her mother, who´s a spitting image of her
That´s Slim Shady, yeah baby, Slim Shady´s crazy
Shady made me, but tonight Shady´s rocka-by-baby...
[Chorus]
And when I´m gone, just carry on, don´t mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I´m looking down on you smiling
And I didn´t feel a thing, So baby don´t feel no pain
Just smile back
And when I´m gone, just carry on, don´t mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I´m looking down on you smiling
And I didn´t feel a thing, So baby don´t feel no pain
Just smile back...
[Verse 2]
I keep having this dream, I´m pushin´ Hailie on the swing
She keeps screaming, she don´t want me to sing
"You´re making Mommy cry, why? Why is Mommy crying?"
Baby, Daddy ain´t leaving no more, "Daddy you´re lying
"You always say that, you always say this is the last time
"But you ain´t leaving no more, Daddy you´re mine"
She´s piling boxes in front of the door trying to block it
"Daddy please, Daddy don´t leave, Daddy - no stop it!"
Goes in her pocket, pulls out a tiny necklace locket
It´s got a picture, "this´ll keep you safe Daddy, take it withcha´"
I look up, it´s just me standing in the mirror
These fuckin´ walls must be talking, cuz man I can hear ´em
They´re saying "You´ve got one more chance to do right" - and it´s tonight
Now go out there and show that you love ´em before it´s too late
And just as I go to walk out of my bedroom door
It´s turns to a stage, they´re gone, and this spotlight is on
And I´m singing...
[Chorus]
And when I´m gone, just carry on, don´t mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I´m looking down on you smiling
And I didn´t feel a thing, So baby don´t feel no pain
Just smile back
And when I´m gone, just carry on, don´t mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I´m looking down on you smiling
And I didn´t feel a thing, So baby don´t feel no pain
Just smile back...
[Verse 3]
Sixty thousand people, all jumping out their seat
The curtain closes, they´re throwing roses at my feet
I take a bow and thank you all for coming out
They´re screaming so loud, I take one last look at the crowd
I glance down, I don´t believe what I´m seeing
"Daddy it´s me, help Mommy, her wrists are bleeding,"
But baby we´re in Sweden, how did you get to Sweden?
"I followed you Daddy, you told me that you weren´t leavin´
"You lied to me Dad, and now you make Mommy sad
"And I bought you this coin, it says ´Number One Dad´
"That´s all I wanted, I just want to give you this coin
"I get the point - fine, me and Mommy are gone"
But baby wait, "it´s too late Dad, you made the choice
"Now go up there and show ´em that you love ´em more than us"
That´s what they want, they want you Marshall, they keep.. screamin´ your name
It´s no wonder you can´t go to sleep, just take another pill
Yeah, I bet you you will. You rap about it, yeah, word, k-keep it real
I hear applause, all this time I couldn´t see
How could it be, that the curtain is closing on me
I turn around, find a gun on the ground, cock it
Put it to my brain and scream "die Shady" and pop it
The sky darkness, my life flashes, the plane that I was supposed to be on crashes and burns to ashes
That´s when I wake up, alarm clock´s ringin´, there´s birds singin´
It´s Spring and Hailie´s outside swinging, I walk right up to Kim and kiss her
Tell her I miss her, Hailie just smiles and winks at her little sister
Almost as if to say..
[Chorus/Outro]
And when I´m gone, just carry on, don´t mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I´m looking down on you smiling
And I didn´t feel a thing, So baby don´t feel no pain
Just smile back
And when I´m gone, just carry on, don´t mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I´m looking down on you smiling
And I didn´t feel a thing, So baby don´t feel no pain
Just smile back...
[Curtains closing and sounds of footsteps]
