Yeah... It's my life...
In 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 are 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!", 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 rock-a-by-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 looking down on you smiling,
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain,
Just smile back. (2x)
I keep having this dream, I'm pushing 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 withchya!
I look up, it's just me standing in the mirror,
These fucking walls must be talking, 'cause 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 'em that you love 'em before it's too late,"
And just as I go to walk out my bedroom door,
It turns to a stage, they're gone, and the spotlight is on,
And I'm singing...
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.(2x)
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 leaving,
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 going!",
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 screaming 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, kid, 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, 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,
That's when I wake up, alarm clock's ringing, there's birds singing,
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..
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. (2x)
