Eminem - When I'm Gone
[00:01.34] Yeah, it's my life
[00:05.34] In my own words, I guess
[00:06.84] Have you ever loved someone so much, you'd give an arm for?
[00:09.84] Not the expression, no, literally give an arm for
[00:13.09] When they know they're your heart and you know you are their armor
[00:16.09] And you will destroy anyone who would try to harm her
[00:19.34] But what happens when karma turns right around to bite you?
[00:22.59] And everything you stand for turns on you to spite you?
[00:25.84] What happens when you become the main source of her pain?
[00:28.85] "Daddy, look what I made!" "Dad's gotta go catch a plane"
[00:32.10] "Daddy, where's Mommy? I can't find Mommy, where is she?"
[00:35.60] "I don't know, go play, Hailie, baby, your daddy's busy
[00:38.60] Daddy's writin' a song, this song ain't gon' write itself
[00:41.60] I'll give you one underdog, then you gotta swing by yourself"
[00:44.85] Then turn right around on that song and tell her you love her
[00:48.34] And put hands on her mother who's a spitting image of her
[00:51.10] That's Slim Shady, yeah, baby, Slim Shady's crazy
[00:54.71] Shady made me, but tonight Shady's rock-a-bye baby
[00:58.22] And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn, rejoice
[01:02.07] Every time you hear the sound of my voice, just know that
[01:05.07] I'm lookin' down on you smilin' and I didn't feel a thing
[01:08.95] So, baby, don't feel my pain, just smile back
[01:11.43] And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn, rejoice
[01:14.67] Every time you hear the sound of my voice, just know that
[01:17.93] I'm lookin' down on you smilin' and I didn't feel a thing
[01:21.18] So, baby, don't feel my pain, just smile back
[01:24.07] I keep havin' this dream, I'm pushin' Hailie on the swing
[01:26.65] She keeps screamin' she don't want me to sing
[01:29.40] "You're makin' Mommy cry, why? Why is Mommy cryin'?"
[01:32.90] "Baby, Daddy ain't leavin' no more" "Daddy, you're lyin'!
[01:36.65] You always say that, you always say this is the last time
[01:39.77] But you ain't leavin' no more, Daddy, you're mine!"
[01:42.52] She's pilin' boxes in front of the door, tryna block it
[01:46.02] "Daddy, please! Daddy, don't leave! Daddy, no, stop it!"
[01:49.27] Goes in her pocket, pulls out a tiny necklace locket
[01:52.52] It's got a picture, "This'll keep you safe, Daddy, take it with ya!"
[01:55.77] I look up, it's just me standin' in the mirror
[01:58.77] These fuckin' walls must be talkin', 'cause man, I can hear 'em
[02:02.02] They're sayin', "You got one more chance to do right and it's tonight
[02:05.53] Now go out there and show 'em that you love 'em 'fore it's too late!"
[02:08.88] And just as I go to walk out of my bedroom door
[02:11.88] It turns to a stage, they're gone and this spotlight is on and I'm singin'
[02:15.75] And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn, rejoice
[02:18.61] Every time you hear the sound of my voice, just know that
[02:21.86] I'm lookin' down on you smilin' and I didn't feel a thing
[02:25.50] So, baby, don't feel my pain, just smile back
[02:28.24] And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn, rejoice
[02:31.49] Every time you hear the sound of my voice, just know that
[02:34.74] I'm lookin' down on you smilin' and I didn't feel a thing
[02:37.98] So, baby, don't feel my pain, just smile back
[02:40.99] 60,000 people all jumpin' out their seat
[02:43.38] The curtain closes, they're throwin' roses at my feet
[02:46.62] I take a bow, and thank you all for comin' out
[02:49.88] They're screamin' so loud, I take one last look at the crowd
[02:52.87] I glance down, I don't believe what I'm seein'
[02:56.38] "Daddy, it's me! Help Mommy, her wrists are bleedin'!"
[02:59.64] But baby, we're in Sweden, how did you get to Sweden?
[03:02.89] "I followed you, Daddy, you told me that you weren't leavin'
[03:05.89] You lied to me, Dad, and now you made Mommy sad
[03:08.88] And I bought you this coin, it says 'Number One Dad'
[03:12.39] That's all I wanted, I just wanna give you this coin
[03:15.38] I get the point, fine, me and Mommy are goin'."
[03:18.88] But baby, wait! – "It's too late, Dad, you made the choice
[03:22.12] Now go up there and show 'em that you love 'em more than us
[03:24.99] That's what they want, they want you, Marshall, they keep
[03:28.49] Screamin' your name, it's no wonder you can't go to sleep
[03:31.34] Just take another pill, yeah, I bet you you will
[03:34.79] You rap about it, yeah, word, k-keep it real."
[03:37.79] I hear applause, all this time I couldn't see
[03:41.04] How could it be that the curtain is closin' on me?
[03:44.29] I turn around, find a gun on the ground, cock it
[03:47.54] Put it to my brain, scream, "Die, Shady!" and pop it
[03:50.79] The sky darkens, my life flashes, the plane that I was
[03:54.28] Supposed to be on crashes and burns to ashes
[03:57.13] That's when I wake up, alarm clock's ringin', there's birds singin'
[04:01.13] It's spring and Hailie's outside swingin'
[04:03.38] I walk right up to Kim and kiss her, tell her I miss her
[04:06.63] Hailie just smiles, and winks at her little sister, almost as if to say
[04:10.63] And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn, rejoice
[04:13.88] Every time you hear the sound of my voice, just know that
[04:16.88] I'm lookin' down on you smilin' and I didn't feel a thing
[04:20.38] So, baby, don't feel my pain, just smile back
[04:23.38] And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn, rejoice
[04:26.51] Every time you hear the sound of my voice, just know that
[04:29.75] I'm lookin' down on you smilin' and I didn't feel a thing
[04:33.25] So, baby, don't feel my pain, just smile back
[04:36.25] *Curtains closing*
