[00:00.180] Yeah...
[00:02.210] It's my life...
[00:03.760] My own words I guess...
[00:05.910] Have you ever loved someone so much, you'd give an arm for?
[00:09.160] Not the expression, no, literally give an arm for?
[00:12.260] When they know they're your heart
[00:13.900] And you will destroy anyone who would try to harm 'em
[00:18.720] But what happens when karma, turns right around and bites you?
[00:22.120] And everything you stand for, turns on you, despite you?
[00:25.130] What happens when you become the main source of a pain?
[00:28.010] "Daddy look what I made", Dad's gotta go catch a plane
[00:31.320] "Daddy where's Mommy? I can't find Mommy where is she?"
[00:34.740] I don't know go play Hailie, baby, your Daddy's busy
[00:37.750] Daddy's writing this song, this song ain't gonna write itself
[00:40.980] I'll give you one underdog then you gotta swing by yourself
[00:44.010] Then turn right around on that song and tell her you love her
[00:47.450] And put hands on her mother, who's a spitting image of her
[00:50.710] That's Slim Shady, yeah baby, Slim Shady's crazy
[00:54.010] Shady made me, but tonight Shady's rocka-by-baby...
[00:57.230]
[00:57.870] And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
[01:00.200] Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
[01:03.450] Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
[01:05.950] And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
[01:09.470] Just smile back
[01:10.740] And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
[01:13.400] Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
[01:16.450] Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
[01:19.340] And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
[01:22.310] Just smile back...
[01:23.120]
[01:23.350] I keep having this dream, I'm pushin' Hailie on the swing
[01:26.100] She keeps screaming, she don't want me to sing
[01:28.710] "You're making Mommy cry, why? Why is Mommy crying?"
[01:32.250] Baby, Daddy ain't leaving no more, "Daddy you're lying
[01:35.490] "You always say that, you always say this is the last time
[01:38.880] "But you ain't leaving no more, Daddy you're mine"
[01:41.730] She's piling boxes in front of the door trying to block it
[01:45.180] "Daddy please, Daddy don't leave, Daddy - no stop it!"
[01:48.270] Goes in her pocket, pulls out a tiny necklace locket
[01:51.470] It's got a picture, "this'll keep you safe Daddy, take it withcha'"
[01:55.230] I look up, it's just me standing in the mirror
[01:57.940] These ****in' walls must be talking, cuz man I can hear 'em
[02:01.240] They're saying "You've got one more chance to do right" - and it's tonight
[02:04.850] Now go out there and show that you love 'em before it's too late
[02:08.070] And just as I go to walk out of my bedroom door
[02:10.810] It's turns to a stage, they're gone, and this spotlight is on
[02:14.160] And I'm singing...
[02:14.950]
[02:15.170] And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
[02:17.220] Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
[02:20.220] Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
[02:22.850] And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
[02:26.170] Just smile back
[02:27.430] And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
[02:30.190] Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
[02:33.080] Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
[02:35.630] And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
[02:39.000] Just smile back...
[02:39.810]
[02:40.050] Sixty thousand people, all jumping out their seat
[02:42.530] The curtain closes, they're throwing roses at my feet
[02:45.640] I take a bow and thank you all for coming out
[02:48.700] They're screaming so loud, I take one last look at the crowd
[02:52.310] I glance down, I don't believe what I'm seeing
[02:55.380] "Daddy it's me, help Mommy, her wrists are bleeding,"
[02:58.820] But baby we're in Sweden, how did you get to Sweden?
[03:01.920] "I followed you Daddy, you told me that you weren't leavin'
[03:05.290] "You lied to me Dad, and now you make Mommy sad
[03:08.410] "And I bought you this coin, it says 'Number One Dad'
[03:11.370] "That's all I wanted, I just want to give you this coin
[03:14.530] "I get the point - fine, me and Mommy are gone"
[03:17.820] But baby wait, "it's too late Dad, you made the choice
[03:20.840] "Now go up there and show 'em that you love 'em more than us"
[03:24.370] That's what they want, they want you Marshall, they keep.. screamin' your name
[03:28.030] It's no wonder you can't go to sleep, just take another pill
[03:32.750] Yeah, I bet you you will. You rap about it, yeah, word, k-keep it real
[03:37.020] I hear applause, all this time I couldn't see
[03:40.220] How could it be, that the curtain is closing on me
[03:43.150] I turn around, find a gun on the ground, cock it
[03:46.670] Put it to my brain and scream "die Shady" and pump it
[03:49.880] The sky darkens, my life flashes, the plane that I was supposed to be on crashes and burns to ashes
[03:55.240] That's when I wake up, alarm clock's ringin', there's birds singin'
[04:00.250] It's Spring and Hailie's outside swinging, I walk up to Kim and kiss her
[04:05.200] Tell her I miss her, Hailie just smiles and winks at her little sister
[04:09.010] Almost as if to say..
[04:10.070]
[04:10.300] And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
[04:12.750] Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
[04:15.560] Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
[04:17.810] And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
[04:21.520] Just smile back
[04:22.590] And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
[04:25.310] Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
[04:28.190] Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
[04:31.000] And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
[04:34.350] Just smile back...
[04:36.250]
