A day in the life of Val

Eminem

Have you ever loved someone so much you give an arm for not the expression no literally give an arm for
when you know they're your heart and you know you are their armor
and you will destroy anyone who would try to harm her
but what happens when karma
turns right around and bites you
and everything you stand for turns on to spite you
what happened when you become the main source of her pain
daddy look what i made
dad's gotta go catch a plane
daddy where's mommy?
i cant find mommy, where is she?
i don't know, go play, Hailie baby, your daddy's busy
daddy's writing a song, this song ain't gon write itself
i give you one underdog, and you gotta swing by yourself
then turn right around in that song and tell her you love her
and put hands on her mother who's a spittin image of her
That's slim shady, yeah baby slim shady's crazy
Shady made me
but tonight, shady's rock-a-bye-baby

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 lookin' down on you smilin'
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 lookin' down on you smilin'
and i don't feel a thing so baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back

i keep havin' this dream,
I'm pushin' Hailie on a swing, she keeps screamin', she don't want me to sing
you're making mommy cry, why, why is mommy cryin'
baby daddy ain't leavin' no more, daddy you're lyin'
you always say that, you always say this is the last time
but you ain't leavin' no more daddy, you're mine
she's pillin' boxes in front of the door tryin' to block it
daddy please, daddy don't leave, daddy, no, stop it
goes in her pocket, pulls out a tiny necklace locket
its got a picture, this will keep you safe daddy take it with ya
i look up, its just me standin' in the mirror
these fuckin' walls must be talkin', cause man i can hear 'em
they're sayin' you got one more chance to do right
and its tonight, now go out and show em that you love em before its too late
and just as i go to walk out of my bedroom door
it turns to a stage they're gone and the spotlight is on and I'm singin'

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 lookin' down on you smilin'
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 lookin' down on you smilin'
and i didn't feel a thing so baby don't feel no pain just smile back

sixty thousand people all jumpin' out their seat
the curtain closes, they're throwin' roses at my feet
i take a bow, and thank you all for comin' out
they're screamin' so loud, i take one last look at the crowd
I glance down, i don't believe what I'm seein' 
daddy, its me, help mommy, her wrist are bleedin'
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 made 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 goin'
but baby wait, its too late dad, you made your choice
now go out 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
its no wonder you cant  go to sleep
just take another pill, yeah i bet you you will!
you rap about it, yeah word kid keep it real
i hear a applause, all this time i couldn't see
how could it be, that the curtain is closin'  on me
i turn around, find a gun on the ground
cock it, put it to my brain, scream Die Shady! and pop it
the sky darkens, my life flashes
the plane that i was suppose to be on, crashes, and burns to ashes
thats when i wake up
Alarm clock ringing, there's birds singin'
It's spring and Hailie's outside swingin'
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
 
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 lookin' down on you smilin'
and i don'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 lookin' down on you smilin'
and i didn't feel a thing, so baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back
