Eminem - Stan

[00:00.15] My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I

[00:03.98] Got out of bed at all

[00:06.12] The morning rain clouds up my window (window)

[00:09.71] And I can't see at all

[00:12.12] And even if I could, it'd all be gray

[00:15.75] But your picture on my wall

[00:18.46] It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad

[00:24.13] My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I

[00:27.92] Got out of bed at all

[00:30.13] The morning rain clouds up my window (window)

[00:33.92] And I can't see at all

[00:36.18] And even if I could, it'd all be gray

[00:39.62] But your picture on my wall

[00:42.33] It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad

[00:47.83] Dear Slim, I wrote you, but you still ain't callin'

[00:50.59] I left my cell, my pager and my home phone at the bottom

[00:53.56] I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not've got 'em

[00:56.59] There probably was a problem at the post office or somethin'

[00:59.54] Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em

[01:02.69] But anyways, fuck it; what's been up, man? How's your daughter?

[01:05.67] My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm 'bout to be a father

[01:08.80] If I have a daughter, guess what I'ma call her?

[01:10.48] I'ma name her Bonnie

[01:12.10] I read about your uncle Ronnie too, I'm sorry

[01:14.53] I had a friend kill himself over some bitch who didn't want him

[01:17.58] I know you probably hear this every day, but I'm your biggest fan

[01:21.60] I even got the underground shit that you did with Skam

[01:23.97] I got a room full of your posters and your pictures, man

[01:26.92] I like the shit you did with Rawkus too, that shit was phat

[01:30.14] Anyways, I hope you get this, man, hit me back

[01:32.52] Just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan, this is Stan

[01:36.80] My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I

[01:39.81] Got out of bed at all

[01:42.50] The morning rain clouds up my window (window)

[01:45.79] And I can't see at all

[01:47.94] And even if I could, it'd all be gray

[01:51.69] But your picture on my wall

[01:54.35] It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad

[01:59.47] Dear Slim, you still ain't called or wrote, I hope you have a chance

[02:02.61] I ain't mad, I just think it's fucked up you don't answer fans

[02:06.90] If you didn't want to talk to me outside your concert, you didn't have to

[02:09.28] But you coulda signed an autograph for Matthew

[02:11.39] That's my little brother, man, he's only six years old

[02:14.20] We waited in the blisterin' cold for you

[02:15.81] For four hours, and you just said no

[02:17.93] That's pretty shitty, man, you're like his fuckin' idol

[02:20.70] He wants to be just like you, man, he likes you more than I do

[02:23.86] I ain't that mad, though I just don't like bein' lied to

[02:26.52] Remember when we met in Denver?

[02:28.43] You said if I'd write you, you would write back

[02:30.55] See, I'm just like you in a way, I never knew my father neither

[02:33.71] He used to always cheat on my mom and beat her

[02:36.12] I can relate to what you're sayin' in your songs

[02:38.34] So when I have a shitty day, I drift away and put 'em on

[02:41.31] 'Cause I don't really got shit else, so that shit helps when I'm depressed

[02:44.55] I even got a tattoo with your name across the chest

[02:47.42] Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds

[02:50.17] It's like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me

[02:53.21] See, everything you say is real, and I respect you 'cause you tell it

[02:56.43] My girlfriend's jealous 'cause I talk about you 24/7

[02:59.52] But she don't know you like I know you, Slim, no one does

[03:02.53] She don't know what it was like for people like us growin' up

[03:05.22] You gotta call me, man, I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose

[03:08.14] Sincerely yours, Stan; P.S., we should be together too

[03:12.80] My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I

[03:15.80] Got out of bed at all

[03:17.98] The morning rain clouds up my window (window)

[03:21.79] And I can't see at all

[03:23.95] And even if I could, it'd all be gray

[03:27.64] But your picture on my wall

[03:30.19] It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad

[03:35.64] Dear Mr. I'm Too Good to Call or Write My Fans

[03:38.62] This will be the last package I ever send your ass

[03:41.10] It's been six months, and still no word, I don't deserve it?

[03:43.86] I know you got my last two letters, I wrote the addresses on 'em perfect

[03:47.53] So this is my cassette I'm sendin' you, I hope you hear it

[03:50.53] I'm in the car right now, I'm doin' 90 on the freeway

[03:53.55] Hey, Slim, I drank a fifth of vodka, you dare me to drive?

[03:56.98] You know the song by Phil Collins, "In the Air of the Night"

[03:59.44] About that guy who coulda saved that other guy from drownin'

[04:02.49] But didn't, then Phil saw it all, then at a show he found him?

[04:05.44] That's kinda how this is, you coulda rescued me from drownin'

[04:08.45] Now it's too late, I'm on a thousand downers now, I'm drowsy

[04:11.69] And all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call

[04:14.59] I hope you know I ripped all of your pictures off the wall

[04:17.75] I loved you, Slim, we coulda been together, think about it

[04:20.85] You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it

[04:24.10] And when you dream, I hope you can't sleep and you scream about it

[04:26.83] I hope your conscience eats at you and you can't breathe without me

[04:30.70] See, Slim; shut up, bitch! I'm tryin' to talk

[04:32.76] Hey, Slim, that's my girlfriend screamin' in the trunk

[04:35.15] But I didn't slit her throat, I just tied her up, see? I ain't like you

[04:38.30] 'Cause if she suffocates, she'll suffer more and then she'll die too

[04:41.96] Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the bridge now

[04:44.61] Oh, shit, I forgot, how am I supposed to send this shit out?

[04:48.96] ♪

[04:59.99] My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I

[05:03.87] Got out of bed at all

[05:06.90] The morning rain clouds up my window (window)

[05:09.88] And I can't see at all

[05:11.93] And even if I could, it'd all be gray

[05:15.53] But your picture on my wall

[05:18.27] It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad

[05:23.17] Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner, but I just been busy

[05:26.44] You said your girlfriend's pregnant now, how far along is she?

[05:29.67] Look, I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that

[05:32.12] And here's an autograph for your brother; I wrote it on a Starter cap

[05:35.86] I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I must've missed you

[05:38.88] Don't think I did that shit intentionally just to diss you

[05:41.86] But what's this shit you said about you like to cut your wrists too?

[05:44.86] I say that shit just clownin', dawg, come on, how fucked up is you?

[05:47.64] You got some issues, Stan, I think you need some counselin'

[05:50.65] To help your ass from bouncin' off the walls when you get down some

[05:53.91] And what's this shit about us meant to be together?

[05:56.69] That type of shit'll make me not want us to meet each other

[05:59.85] I really think you and your girlfriend need each other

[06:02.60] Or maybe you just need to treat her better

[06:04.74] I hope you get to read this letter, I just hope it reaches you in time

[06:08.29] Before you hurt yourself, I think that you'll be doin' just fine

[06:11.20] If you relax a little, I'm glad I inspire you, but Stan

[06:14.36] Why are you so mad? Try to understand that I do want you as a fan

[06:18.60] I just don't want you to do some crazy shit

[06:20.26] I seen this one shit on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick

[06:23.72] Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge

[06:26.26] And had his girlfriend in the trunk, and she was pregnant with his kid

[06:29.24] And in the car they found a tape, but they didn't say who it was to

[06:32.23] Come to think about it, his name was... It was you

[06:35.75] Damn
