Lyrics :<br><br><br>[Intro]<br>Yeah, it's my life<br>In my own words, I guess<br><br>[Verse 1]<br>Have you ever loved someone so much, you'd give an arm for?<br>Not the expression, no, literally give an arm for<br>When they know they're your heart<br>And you know you were their armor<br>And you will destroy anyone who would try to harm her<br>But what happens when karma turns right around to bite you?<br>And everything you stand for turns on you to spite you?<br>What happens when you become the main source of her pain?<br>"Daddy, look what I made!" "Dad's gotta go catch a plane"<br>"Daddy, where's Mommy? I can't find Mommy, where is she?"<br>"I don't know, go play, Hailie, baby, your daddy's busy<br>Daddy's writing a song, this song ain't gon' write itself<br>I'll give you one underdog, then you gotta swing by yourself"<br>Then turn right around on that song and tell her you love her<br>And put hands on her mother who's a spitting image of her<br>That's Slim Shady, yeah, baby, Slim Shady's crazy<br>Shady made me, but tonight Shady's rock-a-bye baby<br><br>[Chorus]<br>And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn<br>Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice<br>Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling<br>And I didn't feel a thang<br>So, baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back<br>And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn<br>Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice<br>Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling<br>And I didn't feel a thang<br>So, baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back<br><br>[Verse 2]<br>I keep having this dream, I'm pushin' Hailie on the swing<br>She keeps screaming she don't want me to sing<br>"You're making Mommy cry, why? Why is Mommy cryin'?"<br>"Baby, Daddy ain't leaving no more" "Daddy, you're lyin'!<br>You always say that, you always say this is the last time<br>But you ain't leaving no more, Daddy, you're mine!"<br>She's piling boxes in front of the door, tryna block it<br>"Daddy, please! Daddy, don't leave! Daddy, no, stop it!"<br>Goes in her pocket, pulls out a tiny necklace locket<br>It's got a picture, "This'll keep you safe, Daddy, take it with ya!"<br>I look up, it's just me standing in the mirror<br>These fuckin' walls must be talkin', 'cause man, I can hear 'em<br>They're saying, "You got one more chance to do right and it's tonight<br>Now go out there and show 'em that you love 'em 'fore it's too late!"<br>And just as I go to walk out of my bedroom door<br>It turns to a stage, they're gone and this spotlight is on<br>And I'm singing–<br><br>[Chorus]<br>And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn<br>Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice<br>Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling<br>And I didn't feel a thang<br>So, baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back<br>And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn<br>Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice<br>Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling<br>And I didn't feel a thang<br>So, baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back<br><br>[Verse 3]<br>Sixty-thousand people all jumpin' out their seat<br>The curtain closes, they're throwin' roses at my feet<br>I take a bow, and thank you all for comin' out<br>They're screamin' so loud, I take one last look at the crowd<br>I glance down, I don't believe what I'm seein'<br>"Daddy, it's me! Help Mommy, her wrists are bleedin'!"<br>But baby, we're in Sweden, how did you get to Sweden?<br>"I followed you, Daddy, you told me that you weren't leavin'<br>You lied to me, Dad, and now you made Mommy sad<br>And I bought you this coin, it says 'Number One Dad'<br>That's all I wanted, I just wanted to give you this coin<br>I get the point, fine, me and Mommy are goin'."<br>But baby, wait! – "It's too late, Dad, you made the choice<br>Now go up there and show 'em that you love 'em more than us<br>That's what they want, they want you, Marshall, they keep<br>Screamin' your name, it's no wonder you can't go to sleep<br>Just take another pill, yeah, I bet you you will<br>You rap about it, yeah, word, k-keep it real."<br>I hear applause, all this time I couldn't see<br>How could it be that the curtain is closin' on me?<br>I turn around, find a gun on the ground, cock it<br>Put it to my brain, scream "Die, Shady!" and pop it<br>The sky darkens, my life flashes<br>The plane that I was supposed to be on crashes<br>And burns to ashes; that's when I wake up<br>Alarm clock's ringin', there's birds singin'<br>It's Spring and Hailie's outside swingin'<br>I walk right up to Kim and kiss her, tell her I miss her<br>Hailie just smiles, and winks at her little sister, almost as if to say<br><br>[Chorus]<br>And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn<br>Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice<br>Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling<br>And I didn't feel a thang<br>So, baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back<br>And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn<br>Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice<br>Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling<br>And I didn't feel a thang<br>So, baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back

Songs like these are the reason Eminem is a respected and popular rapper. <br><br>He doesn't <i>ALWAYS</i> talk about girls and violence but, with something people can relate to. Relationship pain, anger, depression, love, wild thoughts, and being yourself. Eminem is a true Rap Legend
