16 When Im Gone
[00:00.39] Yeah...
[00:03.13] It's my life...
[00:04.13] In my own words I guess...
[00:05.64] Have you ever loved someone so much, you'd give an arm for?
[00:06.38] Not the expression, no, literally give an arm for?
[00:07.14] When they know they're your heart
[00:07.89] And you know you were their armour
[00:11.63] And you will destroy anyone who would try to harm her
[00:12.38] But what happens when karma turns right around and bites you?
[00:12.88] And everything you stand for turns on you to spite you?
[00:13.88] What happens when you become the main source of her pain?
[00:15.14] "Daddy, look what I made", Dad's gotta go catch a plane
[00:16.89] "Daddy, where's Mommy? I can't find Mommy where is she?"
[00:18.13] I don't know go play, Hailie, baby, your Daddy's busy
[00:19.13] Daddy's writing a song, this song ain't gon' write itself
[00:31.63] I'll give you one underdog and you gotta swing by yourself
[00:33.63] Then turn right around on that song and tell her you love her
[00:00.00] And put hands on her mother, who's a spitting image of her
[00:00.00] That's Slim Shady, yeah, baby, Slim Shady's crazy
[00:00.00] Shady made me, but tonight Shady's rock-a-by baby...
[00:00.00] And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
[00:00.00] Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
[00:00.00] Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
[00:00.00] And I didn't feel a thing,
[00:00.00] So, baby, don't feel no pain
[00:00.00] Just smile back
[00:00.00] And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
[00:00.00] Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
[00:00.00] Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
[00:00.00] And I didn't feel a thing,
[00:00.00] So, baby, don't feel no pain
[00:00.00] Just smile back...
[00:00.00] I keep having this dream, I'm pushin' Hailie on the swing
[00:00.00] She keeps screaming, she don't want me to sing
[00:00.00] "You're making Mommy cry, why? Why is Mommy crying?"
[00:00.00] Baby, Daddy ain't leaving no more. "Daddy, you're lying.
[00:00.00] You always say that, you always say this is the last time
[00:00.00] But you ain't leaving no more, Daddy, you're mine."
[00:00.00] She's piling boxes in front of the door tryna block it
[00:00.00] "Daddy, please, Daddy, don't leave, Daddy, no, stop it!"
[00:00.00] Goes in her pocket, pulls out a tiny necklace locket
[00:00.00] It's got a picture, "This'll keep you safe, Daddy, take it with you."
[00:00.00] I look up, it's just me standing in the mirror
[00:00.00] These fucking walls must be talking, 'cause man I can hear 'em
[00:00.00] They're saying, "You've got one more chance to do right, and it's tonight.
[00:00.00] Now go out there and show 'em that you love 'em 'fore it's too late."
[00:00.00] And just as I go to walk out of my bedroom door
[00:00.00] It turns to a stage, they're gone, and this spotlight is on
[00:00.00] And I'm singing...
[00:00.00] And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
[00:00.00] Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
[00:00.00] Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
[00:00.00] And I didn't feel a thing,
[00:00.00] So, baby, don't feel no pain
[00:00.00] Just smile back
[00:00.00] And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
[00:00.00] Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
[00:00.00] Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
[00:00.00] And I didn't feel a thing,
[00:00.00] So, baby, don't feel no pain
[00:00.00] Just smile back...
[00:00.00] Sixty thousand people, all jumping out their seat
[00:00.00] The curtain closes, they're throwing roses at my feet
[00:00.00] I take a bow and thank you all for coming out
[00:00.00] They're screaming so loud, I take one last look at the crowd
[00:00.00] I glance down, I don't believe what I'm seeing
[00:00.00] "Daddy, it's me, help Mommy, her wrists are bleeding."
[00:00.00] But, baby, we're in Sweden, how did you get to Sweden?
[00:00.00] "I followed you, Daddy, you told me that you weren't leavin'.
[00:00.00] "You lied to me, Dad, and now you made Mommy sad.
[00:00.00] And I bought you this coin, it says 'Number One Dad'.
[00:00.00] That's all I wanted, I just wanna give you this coin.
[00:00.00] I get the point. Fine. Me and Mommy are going."
[00:00.00] But, baby, wait.
[00:00.00] "It's too late, Dad, you made your choice.
[00:00.00] Now go up there and show 'em that you love 'em more than us."
[00:00.00] That's what they want, they want you Marshall
[00:00.00] They keep screamin' your name
[00:00.00] It's no wonder you can't go to sleep, just take another pill
[00:00.00] Yeah, I bet you you will. You rap about it, yeah, word, k-keep it real
[00:00.00] I hear applause, all this time I couldn't see
[00:00.00] How could it be, that the curtain is closing on me?
[00:00.00] I turn around, find a gun on the ground, cock it
[00:00.00] Put it to my brain, scream, "Die Shady!" and pop it
[00:00.00] The sky darkens, my life flashes,
[00:00.00] The plane that I was supposed to be on crashes
[00:00.00] And burns to ashes
[00:00.00] That's when I wake up, alarm clock's ringin', there's birds singin'
[00:00.00] It's spring and Hailie's outside swinging,
[00:00.00] I walk right up to Kim and kiss her
[00:00.00] Tell her I miss her,
[00:00.00] Hailie just smiles and winks at her little sister
[00:00.00] Almost as if to say
[00:00.00] And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
[00:00.00] Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
[00:00.00] Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
[00:00.00] And I didn't feel a thing,
[00:00.00] So, baby, don't feel no pain
[00:00.00] Just smile back
[00:00.00] And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
[00:00.00] Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
[00:00.00] Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
[00:00.00] And I didn't feel a thing,
[00:00.00] So, baby, don't feel no pain
[00:00.00] Just smile back...
