Dear Slim

歌詞

Dear Slim I never wrote you or been callin My name ain't Stan son, nah we've never met and My name's KJ let me begin by introducing now Myself to you and these very reasons I'll be writin Why I took the time, the who what where and why and The purpose of my verse, the reasons I'm reciting What I hope your learnin from the truth I pray your finding And every word I'm writin down upon the dotted lines and See I heard ya first album, was called Infinite I shook my head cause nowadays you soundin different What drove ya take your whole persona and be flippin it now What makes a man totally change see I ain't getting it See was you sick of getting booed when you was rippin it And sick of never havin dough and you your wanted to put an end to it What good's all kinds of dough Plus all kinds of flow To gain a world of fans but suffer the loss of soul CHORUS La la la la la la, La la la la la la la la To whom it may concern x4 Dear Slim I never wrote you or been calling This is my second letter cause see son I gots a real problem It's that to you that I'm always catching these comparisons And after shows I got these people coming up to me sayin You sound like Slim Shady son you sound like Eminem And I be like now really man, do I gots to go through this again See I used to get mad and sick of people saying that Till at this one show this one day I met this one cat He told me how he used to listen to you but now he listens to me Had your LP but threw it out and bought my CD I'm like for real he's like yeah he said my music made a difference It got him away from all your words and images I gotta mention this, now what about the effects you have on kids You ever stop to think about the millions you influence Or is it just irrelevent is it true life you telling it Or just the way for some record companies sellin it The only think we got in common is our melanin Or lack of it but anyway now this is what I'm sayin It's for you that I'm on my knees now daily prayin Prayin that God opens your eyes now to what I'm relayin Now I'm praying that it's your heart that will soon be changing Prayin one day that you'll be calling upon His name and But anyway I'm signin off now don't keep me waitin This is KJ another cat just trying to make it CHORUS Dear Slim I heard about the stuff you's going through See I could relate to you cause son I'm about as old as you See we both know what it's like just to be growing up to be in a neighborhood When you's the only one and only kid that's white Or to get booed when you on the mic just because your skin is light It ain't right but sometimes you know that's life But really tell me what you do You just push on with hopes on that someday you'll put on your crew I hope you understand that I ain't even dissin you And even though its a song you'll probably never listen to See what I send to you is this Is that a life without Christ is just a life that is never fixed Hope you remember this now a few sentences About a living God who loves you and plus forgives And I'll be praying for your ex-wife and plus your kid It's hard to live in a world as crazy as this one is And even though now it really might sound redundant God's got mad love for you up in a mad abundance You'll sell a couple mill I'll probably sell a couple hundred There's more to life then selling records and just getting blunted But anyway that's really all I gots to say Just another word from an emcee now around the way Maybe some day we meet each other in some way Till then one love one God one way CHORUS
