| [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 a pain
 "Daddy look what I made?"
 "Dad's gotta go catch a plane"
 "Daddy where's mummy? I can't find mummy, 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 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 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 mummy cry, why, why's mummy 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 wit' ya"
 I look up, it's just me standin' in the mirror, these fucking walls must be talkin' 'cause 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 mummy 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 your 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, keep it real"
 I hear aplause, 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,click it, put it to my brain, scream 'Die 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's ringing,
 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.
