16 - Eminem - When I'm Gone
Lyrics:
Intro:
Yeah
Its my life
My own words I guess
Verse 1:
Have you ever loved someone so much youd 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 despites 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?
Dads gotta go catch a plaine
Daddy wheres mummy? I cant find mummy, where is she?
I dont know, go play, Hailie baby your daddys busy.
Daddys writin this song, this song aint gon write itself
I give you one underdog, 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 whos a spittin image of her
Thats slim shady, yeah baby slim shadys crazy
Shady made me, but tonight, Shadys rock-a-by baby
Chorus 2x:
And when Im gone, just carry on dont mourn,
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that Im lookin down on you smiling
And I didnt feel a thing so baby dont feel no pain, just smile back
Verse 2:
I keep havin this dream Im pushin hailie on the swings she keeps screamin
She dont want me to sing, Youre makin mummy cry, why, whys mummy crying?
Baby, Daddy aint leavin no more,
Daddy youre lying,
You always say that, you always say this is the last time,
but you aint leavin no more, Daddy youre mine!
Shes pulling boxes infront of the door tryin to block it,
Daddy please daddy dont leave daddy no, stop it!
Goes in her pocket, pulls out a tiny necklace locket, its got a picture,
Thisll keep you safe daddy, take it with you
I look up, its just me standin in the mirror, these fuckin walls must be talkin 'cause man I can hear em
They sayin you got one more chance to do right, and its 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, theyre gone
And the spotlight is on and Im singin
Chorus 2x:
And when Im gone, just carry on dont mourn,
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that Im lookin down on you smiling
And I didnt feel a thing so baby dont feel no pain, just smile back
Verse 3:
Sixty thousand people, all jumpin out their seat
The curtain closes, theyre throwing roses at my feet
I take a bow, and thank you all for comin out
Theyre screamin so loud, I take one last look at the crowd
I glance down, I dont believe what Im seein,
Daddy its me! Help mummy her wrists are bleedin
But baby were in Sweden, how did you get to Sweden?!
I followed you daddy, you told me that you wernt leavin
You lied to me dad, and now you make mummy sad
And I bought you this coin
It says number 1 dad, thats 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 your choice. Now go out there and show em that you love em more than us
Thats what they want
They want you Marshall, they keep
screamin your name, its no wonder you cant go to sleep
Just take another pill, yeah i bet ya you will
You rap about it. Yeah word, ke-keep it real
I hear applause, all this time I couldnt 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 Die Shady! and pop it
The sky darkens, my life flashes,
The plaine that I was supposed to be on crashes and burns to ashes
Thats when I wake up, alarm clock's ringin',
Theres birds singin, its spring and
Hailies 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 2x:
And when Im gone, just carry on dont mourn,
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that Im lookin down on you smiling
And I didnt feel a thing so baby dont feel no pain, just smile back.
