(Chorus) La la la la la la la la

"Hello? Yeah man, I don't 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
door 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 still ain't callin'
it's been like 3 years since I wrote that song and
A lot has changed now for you and I I had no clue
that I would write a song for you and it would
change my life Kids with tears in the eyes still
come up to me Showing love to me and telling me
that they look up to me Strangest thing I seen
recently has come to be That I'd get dissed for
saying what Jesus done for me But there's a whole
'nother side of things I've come to see Still a
huge influence you got upon this industry But
enough of me cause it's not what I came to say to
you Sorry now for what your mom and dad did to you
A lot of kids relate with you, cause really
they've been there too I know there's a lot of
pain and hurt now that you've been through But
there's still a real love that God has gave to you

(Chorus) La la la la la la la la

"I just kinda prayed, I said, 'God give me a
chance to give him this CD.' I had a chance to
walk up to him and I said, 'Hey Eminem, you don't
know 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 wrote you but you still ain't callin'
I met the guy who backstage gave you my song and
I'm still wondering what you thought man When he
walked up to you and talked to you and left the CD
in your hands You might've listened to it, or you
might've lost it Some say you heard it probably
got mad and tossed it "Well did he hit you
back?" Well that's the question that I always
get But I know ya wife heard it and at least I
know that she liked it But congratulations on your
movie yo and I heard your record sales is like
over 20 million sold But there's one thing that's
really got me thinkin' bro Does a Grammy mean
anything if it's just gotta cost your soul? I
thank God for the love that never goes away I was
going to Hell but it didn't have to be that way
You see the bottom line of what I always say Is
that God puts back the broken pieces that were

away He'll still love you till the very day that
you're old and gray Still a lot of Christians, all
they do is hate on you Instead of dropping to
their knees and taken time to pray for you it's
obvious that you really love your daughter, dude
And for that I gotta say, well, I got respect for
you But here it is, Dear Slim Chapter Part 2 From
another 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. he's 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' through?
MTV's hating on me and saying that I'm biting you
VH1 jumped in and started ripping on me too it's
so obvious they seem to get my song confused I'll
admit what I've said could sound funny But I never
came at you just to paint you as the enemy I was
never hating your or starting controversy I was
never blaming you and trying to make some money
See I don't claim to know everything that you've
experienced And I guess by now, well, you've
already been hearin' this But in my life there is
one thing I hold is this Is that a life without
Christ is still a life that is never fixed I'll
admit it's a hard pill to swallow That you and I
these days will always be the role models You see
these kids, we're the ones that they always follow
What we say and how we live gives them a better
tomorrow I've had my share of sorrow, plus man
I've been rejected I've been chewed up, spit out
and plus disrespected But if I die today and never
sell another record Jesus gave me more that I ever
could have been expecting Life is hectic it can
leave you blown away But check it bro, man, we
call just gonna die someday And n that note well
there's one thing left to say Is that it's still
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 asking 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."
