(Chorus) La la la la la la la la
"Hello? Yeah man, I mind. Well, had a chance to go to the music awards. And I was in hope of getting a chance to meet Eminem. And I had KJ's CD with me, yours, and the Lord opened up the for me to be able to meet him. After he won an award he was backstage with his bodyguards around him and they were pretty much keeping people away from him."
Dear Slim, I wrote you but you ain't callin' It's been 3 years since I wrote that song and A lot has now for you and I I had no clue I would write a song for you and it would change my life Kids with in the eyes still come up to me Showing love to me and telling me they look up to me Strangest thing I recently has come to be That I'd get dissed for saying Jesus done for me But a whole 'nother side of things I've come to see Still a huge influence you got upon industry But enough of me it's not what I came to say to you now for what your mom and dad did to you A lot of kids relate with you, really they've been there too I know there's a lot of and hurt now that you've been through But there's still a real love God has gave to you
(Chorus) La la la la la la la la
"I just kinda prayed, I said, 'God give me a to give him this CD.' I had a chance to walk up to him and I said, 'Hey Eminem, you don't me. But uh, you know that song Dear Stan you did?' He said, 'Yeah.' I said, 'Well there's a guy that's written a song to you kinda based the same way. It's called Dear Slim.' He said, 'What's he doin, dissin me?' I said, 'No.'"
Dear Slim, I you but you still ain't callin' I met the guy who gave you my song and I'm wondering what you thought man he walked up to you and talked to you and left the CD in your hands You listened to it, or you might've lost it say you heard it probably got mad and tossed it "Well did he hit you back?" Well the question that I always get But I know ya wife heard it and at least I know she liked it But congratulations on your movie yo and I heard your sales is like over 20 million sold But one thing that's really got me thinkin' bro Does a Grammy mean anything if just gotta cost your soul? I thank God for the love that never away I was to Hell but it didn't have to be that way You see the line of what I always say Is that God puts the broken pieces that were thrown away If you know just up and goes away still love you till the very day that you're old and gray Still a lot of Christians, all they do is on you Instead of dropping to knees and taken time to pray for you It's obvious that you really love your daughter, And for I gotta say, well, I got respect for you But here it is, Dear Slim Part 2 From cat still trying to make it just like you
(Chorus) La la la la la la la la
"I said, 'Nah man, it's actually the opposite. actually showing you a lot of respect and love. There's a message of hope that he's giving you. If you don't mind I would like to give you one of his CDs.' He said, 'Man I'll take it.' He took it and we sat there and talked just a little bit more. Thing is, I don't know if he ever heard it or not."
Dear Slim, hear the junk that I'm goin' MTV's on me and saying that I'm biting you VH1 in and started ripping on me too It's so they seem to get my song confused I'll admit I've said could sound funny But I came at you just to paint you as the enemy I was never your or starting controversy I was never blaming you and trying to make money See I don't claim to know that you've experienced And I guess by now, well, you've been hearin' this But in my there is one thing I hold is this Is that a life without Christ is a life that is never fixed I'll admit it's a hard pill to That you and I these days will be the role models You see these kids, we're the ones that always follow What we say and how we live gives them a tomorrow I've had my share of sorrow, man I've been rejected been chewed up, spit out and plus disrespected But if I die today and never another record Jesus gave me more that I ever could have expecting Life is hectic it can you blown away But check it bro, man, we call just die someday And n that note well there's one left to say Is that it's one love and one God and only one way
(Chorus) La la la la la la la la
"I said, 'He's showing you a lot of respect, a lot of love. This is a message from God to you through him. I'm just will you just take it and listen to it?' He said, 'Yeah I'll take it.' So he took it from my hand and I prayed, 'God use this and bless this moment to encourage Eminem into a relationship with you."
