Lyrics

[00:19.850] Dear Slim, I wrote but you still aint callin
[00:23.070] I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom
[00:26.190] I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not-a got em
[00:29.360] There probably was a problem at the post office or somethin
[00:32.290] Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot em
[00:35.400] but anyways; **** it, what\'s been up? Man how\'s your daughter?
[00:38.110] My girlfriend\'s pregnant too, I\'m bout to be a father
[00:40.810] If I have a daughter, guess what I\'ma call her?
[00:43.060] I\'ma name her Bonnie
[00:44.100] I read about your Uncle Ronnie too I\'m sorry
[00:46.940] I had a friend kill himself over some bitch who didn\'t want him
[00:49.970] I know you probably hear this everyday, but I\'m your biggest fan
[00:53.030] I even got the underground shit that you did with Skam
[00:56.180] I got a room full of your posters and your pictures man
[00:59.100] I like the shit you did with Rawkus too, that shit was fat
[01:02.640] Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back,
[01:05.290] just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan
[01:07.530] This is Stan
[01:07.830] My tea\'s gone cold, I\'m wondering why I got out of bed at all
[01:13.920] The morning rain clouds up my window and I can\'t see at all
[01:19.830] And even if I could it\'d all be grey, but your picture on my wall
[01:25.870] It reminds me that it\'s not so bad
[01:30.120] It\'s not so bad
[01:32.240] Dear Slim, you still ain\'t called or wrote, I hope you have a chance
[01:34.660] I ain\'t mad - I just think it\'s ****ED UP you don\'t answer fans
[01:38.000] If you didn\'t wanna talk to me outside your concert you didn\'t have to,
[01:40.750] but you coulda signed an autograph for Matthew
[01:43.750] That\'s my little brother man, he\'s only six years old
[01:46.130] We waited in the blistering cold for you,
[01:48.760] four hours and you just said, \"No.\"
[01:49.940] That\'s pretty shitty man - you\'re like his ****in idol
[01:52.960] He wants to be just like you man, he likes you more than I do
[01:55.610] I ain\'t that mad though, I just don\'t like bein lied to
[01:58.690] Remember when we met in Denver - you said if I\'d write you
[02:02.020] you would write back - see I\'m just like you in a way
[02:03.950] I never knew my father neither;
[02:06.060] he used to always cheat on my mom and beat her
[02:08.180] I can relate to what you\'re saying in your songs
[02:10.400] so when I have a shitty day, I drift away and put \'em on
[02:13.660] cause I don\'t really got shit else so that shit helps when I\'m depressed
[02:16.880] I even got a tattoo of your name across the chest
[02:19.300] Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds
[02:22.290] It\'s like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me
[02:25.280] See everything you say is real, and I respect you cause you tell it
[02:28.410] My girlfriend\'s jealous cause I talk about you 24/7
[02:31.510] But she don\'t know you like I know you Slim, no one does
[02:34.510] She don\'t know what it was like for people like us growin up
[02:37.520] You gotta call me man, I\'ll be the biggest fan you\'ll ever lose
[02:40.080] Sincerely yours, Stan
[02:41.500] P.S. We should be together too
[02:45.090] My tea\'s gone cold, I\'m wondering why I got out of bed at all
[02:50.340] The morning rain clouds up my window and I can\'t see at all
[02:55.760] And even if I could it\'d all be grey, but your picture on my wall
[03:02.250] It reminds me that it\'s not so bad
[03:06.080] It\'s not so bad
[03:07.820] Dear Mister-I\'m-Too-Good-To-Call-Or-Write-My-Fans,
[03:10.450] this\'ll be the last package I ever send your ass
[03:13.580] It\'s been six months and still no word - I don\'t deserve it?
[03:16.030] I know you got my last two letters;
[03:17.760] I wrote the addresses on \'em perfect
[03:19.690] So this is my cassette I\'m sending you, I hope you hear it
[03:22.550] I\'m in the car right now, I\'m doing 90 on the freeway
[03:25.590] Hey Slim, I drank a fifth of vodka, you dare me to drive?
[03:28.730] You know the song by Phil Collins, \"In the Air of the Night\"
[03:31.560] about that guy who coulda saved that other guy from drowning
[03:34.580] but didn\'t, then Phil saw it all, then at a a show he found him?
[03:37.640] That\'s kinda how this is, you coulda rescued me from drowning
[03:40.470] Now it\'s too late - I\'m on a 1000 downers now, I\'m drowsy
[03:43.600] and all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call
[03:46.300] I hope you know I ripped +ALL+ of your pictures off the wall
[03:49.560] I love you Slim, we coulda been together, think about it
[03:52.630] You ruined it now, I hope you can\'t sleep and you dream about it
[03:55.670] And when you dream I hope you can\'t sleep and you SCREAM about it
[03:58.680] I hope your conscience EATS AT YOU and you can\'t BREATHE without me
[04:04.590] Hey Slim, that\'s my girlfriend screamin in the trunk
[04:07.210] but I didn\'t slit her throat, I just tied her up, see I ain\'t like you
[04:10.410] cause if she suffocates she\'ll suffer more, and then she\'ll die too
[04:13.680] Well, gotta go, I\'m almost at the bridge now
[04:16.800] Oh shit, I forgot, how\'m I supposed to send this shit out?
[04:19.960][04:32.190] My tea\'s gone cold, I\'m wondering why I got out of bed at all
[04:38.180] The morning rain clouds up my window and I can\'t see at all
[04:44.140] And even if I could it\'d all be grey, but your picture on my wall
[04:50.040] It reminds me that it\'s not so bad
[04:53.960] It\'s not so bad
[04:55.350] Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner but I just been busy
[04:58.270] You said your girlfriend\'s pregnant now, how far along is she?
[05:01.390] Look, I\'m really flattered you would call your daughter that
[05:04.190] and here\'s an autograph for your brother,
[05:05.940] I wrote it on the Starter cap
[05:07.740] I\'m sorry I didn\'t see you at the show, I musta missed you
[05:10.480] Don\'t think I did that shit intentionally just to diss you
[05:13.760] But what\'s this shit you said about you like to cut your wrists too?
[05:16.730] I say that shit just clownin dogg,
[05:18.480] c\'mon - how ****ed up is you?
[05:20.170] You got some issues Stan, I think you need some counseling
[05:22.330] to help your ass from bouncing off the walls when you get down some
[05:25.320] And what\'s this shit about us meant to be together?
[05:28.520] That type of shit\'ll make me not want us to meet each other
[05:31.350] I really think you and your girlfriend need each other
[05:34.440] or maybe you just need to treat her better
[05:36.860] I hope you get to read this letter, I just hope it reaches you in time
[05:39.990] before you hurt yourself, I think that you\'ll be doin just fine
[05:42.970] if you relax a little, I\'m glad I inspire you but Stan
[05:45.940] why are you so mad? Try to understand, that I do want you as a fan
[05:49.740] I just don\'t want you to do some crazy shit
[05:52.230] I seen this one shit on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick
[05:55.380] Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge
[05:58.080] and had his girlfriend in the trunk, and she was pregnant with his kid
[06:00.990] and in the car they found a tape, but they didn\'t say who it was to
[06:04.020] Come to think about, his name was.. it was you
