Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity To seize everything you ever wanted-In one moment Would you capture it or just let it slip? Yo
Verse:1 His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out He's chokin how, everybody's jokin now The clock's run out, time's up over, bloah! Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked He's so mad, but he won't give up that Easy, no He won't have it , he knows his whole back's to these ropes It don't matter, he's dope He knows that, but he's broke He's so stacked that he knows When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's Back to the lab again yo This whole rap city He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him
[Chorus:] You better lose yourself in the music, the moment Bitch you own it, bitch you better never let it go ho You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you betta {Lose yourself in the music, the moment You own it, bitch you better never let it go ho You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you betta}(2)
Verse:2 His soul's escaping, through this hole that is gaping This world is mine for the taking Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order A normal life is boring, but superstardom's close to post mortem It only grows harder, only grows hotter He blows it's all over these hoes is all on him Coast to coast shows, he's known as the globetrotter Lonely roads, God only knows He's grown farther from home, he's no father He goes home and barely knows his own daughter But hold your nose cuz here goes the cold water His hoes don't want him no more, he's cold product They moved on to the next schmoe who flows He nose dove and sold nada So the soap opera is told and unfolds I suppose it's old partna', but the beat goes on Da da dum da dum da da
[Chorus] You better lose yourself in the music, the moment Bitch you own it, bitch you better never let it go ho You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you betta Lose yourself in the music, the moment You own it, bitch you better never let it go ho You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you betta
Verse: 3 No more games, I'ma change what you call rage Tear this mothafuckin roof off like 2 dogs caged I was playin in the beginnin, the mood all changed I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage But I kept rhymin and stepwritin the next cypher Best believe somebody's payin the pied piper All the pain inside amplified by the, fact That I can't get by with my 9 to, 5 And I can't provide the right type of life for my family Cuz man, these goddam food stamps don't buy diapers And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder Tryin to feed and water my seed, plus teeter-totter caught up between being a father and a pre madona Baby mama drama's screamin on and Too much for me to wanna Stay in one spot, another day in monotomy's gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail I've got to formulate a plot or end up in jail or shot Success is my only mothafuckin option, failure's not Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go I cannot grow old in Salem's lot So here I go it's my shot. Feet fail me not, this may be the only opportunity that I got
[Chorus] You better lose yourself in the music, the moment Bitch you own it, bitch you better never let it go ho You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you betta Lose yourself in the music, the moment You own it, bitch you better never let it go ho You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you betta
[Intro] Yeah It's my life But all in 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 armour And you will destroy anyone who will try to harm her But what happens when karma turns right around and bites you And everything you stand for turns on you to spite you What happens when you become the main source of her 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 don't know, go play, Hailie baby your daddy's busy. Daddy's writin' this song, this song ain't gon' write itself I give you one on the door, then you gotta swing by yourself Then to write a rhyme in a 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-by 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 smiling 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 swings she keeps screamin' She don't want me to sing, "You're makin mommy cry, why, why's 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 infront 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 with you" I look up, it's just me standin in the mirror, these fucking walls must be talkin cos man I can hear 'em They sayin you got one more chance to do right, and it's tonight, Now go out there and show 'em that you love 'em 'fore 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 smiling 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 wern't leavin You lied to me dad, and now you make mummy sad And I bought you this coin It says 'number 1 dad', that's all I wanted I just wanna give you this coin I get the point, fine, me and mummy are goin" But baby wait- "its too late dad, you made the choice. Now go out there and show 'em 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 bet ya you will You rap about it. Yeah word, cant 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 'gosh 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 ringincheshiregangsta, There's birds singin', it's spring 'n Hailie's out side 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 smiling And I didn't feel a thing so baby don't feel no pain, just smile back.
{Chorus} My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I.. got out of bed at all The morning rain clouds up my window.. and I can't see at all And even if I could it'd all be gray, put your picture on my wall It reminds me, that it's not so bad, it's not so bad..
{Chorus}
[Eminem as 'Stan'] Dear Slim, I wrote but you still ain't callin I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not-a got 'em There probably was a problem at the post office or something Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em but anyways; fuck it, what's been up? Man how's your daughter? My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm bout to be a father If I have a daughter, guess what I'ma call her? I'ma name her Bonnie I read about your Uncle Ronnie too I'm sorry I had a friend kill himself over some bitch who didn't want him I know you probably hear this everyday, but I'm your biggest fan I even got the underground shit that you did with Skam I got a room full of your posters and your pictures man I like the shit you did with Ruckus too, that shit was phat Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back, just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan This is Stan
{Chorus}
[Eminem as 'Stan'] Dear Slim, you still ain't called or wrote, I hope you have a chance I ain't mad - I just think it's FUCKED UP you don't answer fans If you didn't wanna talk to me outside your concert you didn't have to, but you coulda signed an autograph for Matthew That's my little brother man, he's only six years old We waited in the blistering cold for you, four hours and you just said, "No." That's pretty shitty man - you're like his fucking idol He wants to be just like you man, he likes you more than I do I ain't that mad though, I just don't like being lied to Remember when we met in Denver - you said if I'd write you you would write back - see I'm just like you in a way I never knew my father neither; he used to always cheat on my mom and beat her I can relate to what you're saying in your songs so when I have a shitty day, I drift away and put 'em on cause I don't really got shit else so that shit helps when I'm depressed I even got a tattoo with your name across the chest Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds It's like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me See everything you say is real, and I respect you 'cos you tell it My girlfriend's jealous cause I talk about you 24/7 But she don't know you like I know you Slim, no one does She don't know what it was like for people like us growin up You gotta call me man, I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose Sincerely yours, Stan -- P.S. We should be together too
{Chorus}
[Eminem as 'Stan'] Dear Mister-I'm-Too-Good-To-Call-Or-Write-My-Fans, this'll be the last package I ever send your ass It's been six months and still no word - I don't deserve it? I know you got my last two letters; I wrote the addresses on 'em perfect So this is my cassette I'm sending you, I hope you hear it I'm in the car right now, I'm doing 90 on the freeway Hey Slim, I drank a fifth of vodka, you dare me to drive? You know the song by Phil Collins, "In the Air of the Night" about that guy who coulda saved that other guy from drowning but didn't, then Phil saw it all, then at a show he found him? That's kinda how this is, you coulda rescued me from drowning Now it's too late - I'm on a 1000 downers now, I'm drowsy and all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call I hope you know I ripped ALL of your pictures off the wall I love you Slim, we coulda been together, think about it You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it And when you dream I hope you can't sleep and you SCREAM about it I hope your conscience EATS AT YOU and you can't BREATHE without me See Slim; {*screaming*} Shut up bitch! I'm trying to talk! Hey Slim, that's my girlfriend screamin in the trunk but I didn't slit her throat, I just tied her up, see I ain't like you cause if she suffocates she'll suffer more, and then she'll die too Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the bridge now Oh shit, I forgot, how am I supposed to send this shit out?
{Chorus}
[Eminem] Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner but I just been busy You said your girlfriend's pregnant now, how far along is she? Look, I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that and here's an autograph for your brother, I wrote it on the Starter cap I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I musta missed you Don't think I did that shit intentionally just to diss you But what's this shit you said about you like to cut your wrists too? I say that shit just clowning dog, c'mon - how fucked up is you? You got some issues Stan, I think you need some counselling to help your ass from bouncing off the walls when you get down some And what's this shit about us meant to be together? That type of shit'll make me not want us to meet each other I really think you and your girlfriend need each other or maybe you just need to treat her better I hope you get to read this letter, I just hope it reaches you in time before you hurt yourself, I think that you'll be doin just fine if you relax a little, I'm glad I inspire you but Stan why are you so mad? Try to understand, that I do want you as a fan I just don't want you to do some crazy shit I seen this one shit on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge and had his girlfriend in the trunk, and she was pregnant with his kid and in the car they found a tape, but they didn't say who it was to Come to think about, his name was.. it was you Damn!
