Dear Slim - Kj-52

My name’s KJ, let me begin by introducing now

Myself to you and these very reasons I’ll be writing (Go ahead)

Why I took the time and, the 'who', 'what', 'where' and 'why', and

The purpose of my verse, and the reasons I’m reciting

What I hope you’re learning from the truth, I pray you’re finding

And every word I’m writing down upon the dotted lines, and

See, I heard your first album, it’s called Infinite (I heard it)

I shook my head, 'cause nowadays, you sounding different (Way different)

What drove you take your whole persona and be flipping it?

Now, what makes a man totally change?

See, I ain’t getting it

See, was you sick of getting booed when you was ripping it

And sick of never having dough, and you wanted to put an end to it?

What good’s all kinds of dough, plus all kinds of flow

To gain a world of fans but suffer the loss of soul?

La la la la la la

La la la la la la (To whom it may concern)

La la la la la la

La la la la la la (To whom it may concern)

La la la la la la

La la la la la la (To whom it may concern)

La la la la la la

La la la la la la (To whom it may concern)

Yeah, yo

Dear Slim, I never wrote you or been calling (Nah)

This is my second letter 'cause, see, son, I gots a real problem (What's that?)

It’s that to you that I’m always catching these comparisons

And after shows, I got these people coming up to me saying

«You sound like Slim Shady» (Slim) «You sound like Eminem»

And I be like, «Now really, man?

Do I gots to go through this again?»

(No)

See, I used to get mad and sick of people saying that

Till at this one show, this one day, I met this one cat (S'up, s’up, son?)

He told me how he used to listen to you, but now he listens to me (Yeah,)

Had your LP, but threw it out and bought my CD (Tossed it)

I’m like, «For real?», he’s like, «Yeah», he said my music made a difference

It got him away from all your words and images (Word?)

I gotta mention this, now what about the effects you have on kids

You ever stop to think about the millions you influence?

(Probably not)

Or is it just irrelevant?

Is it true life you telling it?

Or just the way for some record companies selling it?

The only thing we got in common is our melanin

Or lack of it, but anyway, now this is what I’m saying (Okay)

It’s for you that I’m on my knees now daily praying

Praying that God opens your eyes now to what I’m relaying (Right)

Now I’m praying that it’s your heart that will soon be changing (Alright, man)

Praying one day that you’ll be calling upon His name and (Okay)

But anyway, I’m signing off now, don’t keep me waiting

This is KJ, another cat just trying to make it

La la la la la la

La la la la la la (To whom it may concern)

La la la la la la

La la la la la la (To whom it may concern)

La la la la la la

La la la la la la (To whom it may concern)

La la la la la la

La la la la la la (To whom it may concern)

Dear Slim I heard about the stuff you’s going through

See I could relate to you cause son I’m about as old as you

See we both know what it’s like just to be growing up to be in a neighborhood

When you’s the only one and only kid that’s white

Or to get booed when you on the mic just because your skin is light

It ain’t right but sometimes you know that’s life

But really tell me what you do

You just push on with hopes on that someday you’ll put on your crew

I hope you understand that I ain’t even dissing you

And even though its a song you’ll probably never listen to

See what I send to you is this

Is that a life without Christ is just a life that is never fixed

Hope you remember this now a few sentences

About a living God who loves you and plus forgives

And I’ll be praying for your ex-wife and plus your kid

It’s hard to live in a world as crazy as this one is

And even though now it really might sound redundant

God’s got mad love for you up in a mad abundance

You’ll sell a couple mill I’ll probably sell a couple hundred

There’s more to life then selling records and just getting blunted

But anyway that’s really all I gots to say

Just another word from an MC now around the way

Maybe some day we meet each other in some way

Till then one love one God one way
