Yeah, its my life
My own words I guess
Have you ever loved someone so much
¿Youd give an arm for?
Not the expression
No, ¿Literally give an arm for?
When they know theyre your heart
And you know you are their armor
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
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 this song
This song aint 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
Whos a spitting image of her
Thats Slim Shady, yeah baby
Slim Shadys crazy
Shady made me
But tonight Shadys rocka by baby
And when Im gone
Just carry on, dont mourn
Rejoice every time you hear
The sound of my voice
Just know that Im looking down
On you smiling
And I didnt feel a thing
So, baby dont feel no pain
Just smile back
And when Im gone
Just carry on, dont mourn
Rejoice every time you hear
The sound of my voice
Just know that Im looking down
On you smiling
And I didnt feel a thing
So, baby dont feel no pain
Just smile back
I keep having this dream
Im pushin, Hailie on the swing
She keeps screaming
She dont want me to sing
¿Youre making mommy cry, why?
¿Why is mommy crying?
Baby, daddy aint leaving no more
Daddy youre lying
You always say that
You always say this is the last time
But you aint leaving no more
Daddy youre mine
Shes piling boxes in front of the door
Trying to block it
Daddy please, daddy dont leave
Daddy, no stop it
Goes in her pocket
Pulls out a tiny necklace locket
Its got a picture
Thisll keep you safe, daddy, take it withcha
I look up, its just me
Standing in the mirror
These fuckin walls must be talking
Cause, man, I can hear em
Theyre saying
Youve got one more chance to do right
And its tonight
Now go out there and show
That you love em before its too late
And just as I go to walk out
Of my bedroom door
Its turns to a stage
Theyre gone
And the spotlight is on
And Im singing
And when Im gone
Just carry on, dont mourn
Rejoice every time you hear
The sound of my voice
Just know that Im looking down
On you smiling
And I didnt feel a thing
So, baby dont feel no pain
Just smile back
And when Im gone
Just carry on, dont mourn
Rejoice every time you hear
The sound of my voice
Just know that Im looking down
On you smiling
And I didnt feel a thing
So, baby dont feel no pain
Just smile back
Sixty thousand people
All jumping out their seat
The curtain closes
Theyre throwing roses at my feet
I take a bow
And thank you all for coming 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 Sweden
¿How did you get to Sweden?
I followed you daddy
You told me that you werent leavin
You lied to me dad
And now you make mommy sad
And I bought you this coin
It says, Number One Dad
Thats all I wanted
I just want to give you this coin
I get the point, fine
Me and mommy are gone
But, baby, wait, Its too late dad
You made the choice
Now go up 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
Yeah, I bet you, you will
You rap about it
Yeah, word, keep it real
I hear applause
All this time I couldnt 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 darkens.
