[Intro]
Yeah,
It’s my life,
In my own words I guess.

[Verse 1]
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 are 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 you despite you,
What happens when you become the main source of a 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 donno know, go play, Hailie baby your daddy’s busy.
Daddy’s writin’this
song, the song ain’t gonna’ write itself
I give you one underdog, then 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.

[Chorus] [x2]
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!

[Verse 2]
I keep havin’ this dream – I’m pushin’ Hailie on the swing she keeps screamin’,
She don’t want me to sing, “You’re makin mommy cry, why, why is mommy crying?”,
Baby, Daddy ain’t leavin’ no more,
“Daddy you're lying,
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 piling 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, it’s got a picture,
“This’ll keep you safe daddy, take it witcha.”
I look up, it’s just me standin in the mirror, these fucking walls must be talkin cuz man I can hear em.
They're sayin you got one more chance to do right, and it’s tonight,
Now go out there and show ‘em that you love ‘em for 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…

[Chorus] [x2]
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!

[Verse 3]
Sixty thousand people, all jumpin’ out their seat,
The curtain closes, they’re throwing 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 it’s me! Help mommy her wrists are bleedin’!”,
But baby we’re in Sweden, how did you get to Sweden?!
“I followed you daddy, you told me that you were leavin',
You lied to me dad, and now you made mommy sad,
And I bought you this coin,
It says "number 1 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-,
“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, 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 ringin',
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-,

[Chorus] [x2]
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 smile,
And I didn’t feel a thing so baby don’t feel no pain, just smile back.
