1st VERSE:

Yeah...It's my life....My own words I guess...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 her.

But what happens when Karma, turns right around and bites you?

And everything you stand for, turns on you to spite you?

What happens when you become the main source of her pain?

"Daddy, look what I made." Dads gotta go catch a plane.

"Daddy wheres mommy? I cant find mommy, where is she?"

I dont know, go play Hailie, baby. Your daddys busy.

Daddys writing a song, this song aint gonn write itself.

Ill give you one underdog, then you gotta swing by yourself.

Then turn around in that song and tell her you love her.

And put hands on her mother who's a spittin image of her.

Thats slim shady. Yea, baby, slim shady's crazy.

Shady made me, but tonight shady's rocka bye baby.

CHORUS:

And when Im gone, just carry on, dont mourn

Rejoice everytime you hear the sound of my voice

Just know that, ill be looking down at you smiling, and not even feel a thing

So baby dont feel my pain, just smile back. (X2)

2nd VERSE:

I keep having this dream, Im pushing Hailie on a swing, she keeps screming

She dont want me to sing

"You're making mommy cry. Why? Why is mommy crying?"

Baby, daddy aint leavin no more. "Daddy youre lying! You always say that.

You always say this is the last time. But you aint leavin no more, daddy youre mine.

Shes pilling boxes infront of the door, trying to block it.

"Daddy please, daddy dont leave. Daddy, no stop it!"

Goes in her pocket, picks up a tiny necklace locket. Its got a picture.

"This'll keep you safe, daddy. Take it witcha."

I look up, its just me standing in the mirror.

These fucking walls must be talkin cause man i can hear 'em.

Theyre saying "you got one more chancr to do right, and its tonight. Now go out there and show em that you live em before its too late."

And just as i got to walk ouy of my bedroom door, it turns into a stage

Theyre gone, the spotlight is on, and im singin.

CHORUS X2

3rd VERSE

Sixty thousand people, all jumpin out their seat.

The curtain closes, theyre throwin roses at my feet.

I take a bow and thank you all for comig out.

Theyre screaming so loud, i take one last look at the crowd.

I glance down, i dont believe what Im seeing.

"Daddy its me. Help mommy, her wrists are bleeding."

But baby were in Sweeden. How did you get to Sweeden,

"I followed you daddy, you tolf me you werent leaving.

You lied to me dad, and now you made mommy sad. And i bought you this coin

It says number one dad.

Thats all I wanted. I just wanted to give you this coin. I get the point.

Fine, me and mommy are gone."

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.

Thats what they want. They want you Marshall. They keep screamin your name

Its no wonder you cant go to sleep. Just take another pill. Yea,

I bet you, you will. You rap about it. Yea, word. K-keep it real."

I hear aplause, all this time, how could it be, that the curtain is closing on me.

I turn around, find. Gun on the ground, cock it.

Point it to my brain, scream die shady and pop it.

The sky darkens, my life flashes, the plane that I was supposed to be on crashes

And burns to ashes.

Thats when I wake up. Alarm clocks ringin, theres birds singing

Hailies outside swingin. I walk right uo 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 X2
