[Intro]
N.C.
Yeah, it's my life
In my own words, I guess
[Verse 1]
Have you ever Cloved someone so much, you'd Dgive an arm for?
Not the Gexpression, no, litEmerally give an arm for
When they knoCw they're your heart and you know you Dwere their armor
And you Emwill destroy anyone who would try to harm her
But what Chappens when karma turns right Daround to bite you?
And Geverything you stand for Emturns on you to spite you?
What happens Cwhen you become the main soDurce of her pain?
"DaEmddy, look what I made!" "Dad's gotta go catch a plane"
"Daddy, where's CMommy? I can't find DMommy, where is she?"
"GI don't know, go play, Hailie, Embaby, your daddy's busy
Daddy's Cwritin' a song, this song ain't gon' Dwrite itself
I'll give Emyou one underdog, n' you gotta swing by yourself"
Then turn rCight around on that song and tell Dher you love her
AGnd put hands on her mother who's Ema spitting image of her
That's Slim CShady, yeah, baby, Slim SDhady's crazy
SEmhady made me, but tonight Shady's rock-a-bye baby
[Chorus]
CAnd when I'm gone, just carDry on, don't mourn, Grejoice
Every time yoEmu hear the sound of my voice, just know that
CI'm lookin' down on you smDilin' and I didEmn't feel a thang
So, baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back
CAnd when I'm gone, just carDry on, don't mourn, Grejoice
Every time yoEmu hear the sound of my voice, just know that
CI'm lookin' down on you smDilin' and I didEmn't feel a thang
So, baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back
[Verse 2]
I keep Chavin' this dream, I'm pushin' DHailie on the swing
GShe keeps screamin' she don't wanEmt me to sing
"You're makin' Mommy Ccry, why? Why is DMommy cryin'?"
"BabyEm, Daddy ain't leavin' no more" "Daddy, you're lyin'!
You always Csay that, you always say this Dis the last time
GBut you ain't leavin' no moreEm, Daddy, you're mine!"
She's pilin' Cboxes in front of the door, Dtryna block it
"DaddyEm, please! Daddy, don't leave! Daddy, no, stop it!"
Goes in her Cpocket, pulls out a tiny Dnecklace locket
It's Ggot a picture, "This'll keep you Emsafe, Daddy, take it with ya!"
I Clook up, it's just me standin' Din the mirror
These Emfuckin' walls must be talkin', 'cause man, I can hear 'em
They're sayin', C"You got one more chance to do Dright and it's tonight
GNow go out there and show 'em that you Emlove 'em 'fore it's too late!"
CAnd just as I go to walk out Dof my bedroom door
It Emturns to a stage, they're gone and this spotlight is on and I'm singin'
[Chorus]
CAnd when I'm gone, just carDry on, don't mourn, Grejoice
Every time yoEmu hear the sound of my voice, just know that
CI'm lookin' down on you smDilin' and I didEmn't feel a thang
So, baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back
CAnd when I'm gone, just carDry on, don't mourn, Grejoice
Every time yoEmu hear the sound of my voice, just know that
CI'm lookin' down on you smDilin' and I didEmn't feel a thang
So, baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back
[Verse 3]
Sixty-Cthousand people all jumpin' Dout their seat
The Gcurtain closes, they're throwinEm' roses at my feet
I take a Cbow, and thank you all for Dcomin' out
They're Emscreamin' so loud, I take one last look at the crowd
I glance Cdown, I don't believe Dwhat I'm seein'
"Daddy, Git's me! Help Mommy, Emher wrists are bleedin'!"
But baby, Cwe're in Sweden, how did you Dget to Sweden?
"I Emfollowed you, Daddy, you told me that you weren't leavin'
You lied Cto me, Dad, and now you made DMommy sad
And GI bought you this coin, it sayEms 'Number One Dad'
That's all I Cwanted, I just wanted to Dgive you this coin
I Emget the point, fine, me and Mommy are goin'."
But baby, Cwait! "It's too late, Dad, you Dmade the choice
Now Ggo up there and show 'em that you Emlove 'em more than us
That's what they Cwant, they want you, DMarshall, they keep
Screamin' Emyour name, it's no wonder you can't go to sleep
Just take Canother pill, yeah, I Dbet you you will
You Grap about it, yeah, Emword, k-keep it real."
I hear Capplause, all this time I Dcouldn't see
How Emcould it be that the curtain is closin' on me?
I turn Caround, find a gun on the Dground, cock it
Put Git to my brain, scream, Em"Die, Shady!" and pop it
The sky Cdarkens, my life flashes,D
the plane that I Emwas supposed to be on crashes and burns to ashes
That's when I Cwake up, alarm clock's Dringin',
there's birds Gsingin', it's spring and EmHailie's outside swingin'
I walk Cright up to Kim and kiss her, Dtell her I miss her
EmHailie just smiles, and winks at her little sister, almost as if to say
[Chorus]
CAnd when I'm gone, just carDry on, don't mourn, Grejoice
Every time yoEmu hear the sound of my voice, just know that
CI'm lookin' down on you smDilin' and I didEmn't feel a thang
So, baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back
CAnd when I'm gone, just carDry on, don't mourn, Grejoice
Every time yoEmu hear the sound of my voice, just know that
CI'm lookin' down on you smDilin' and I didEmn't feel a thang
So, baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back
