1-16 When I'm Gone

[00:00.00] Yeah, it's my life

[00:03.65] My own words, I guess

[00:05.41] Have you ever loved someone so much

[00:07.90] You'd give an arm for

[00:09.15] Not the expression, no

[00:10.66] Literally give an arm for

[00:12.16] When they know they're your heart

[00:13.91] And you know you are their armor

[00:15.17] And you will destroy anyone who would try to harm her

[00:18.41] But what happens when karma

[00:20.16] Turns right around and bites you

[00:21.91] And everything you stand for turns on you to spite you

[00:24.92] What happens when you become the main source of her pain

[00:28.16] "Daddy look what I made"

[00:29.41] "Dad's gotta go catch a plane"

[00:31.66] "Daddy where's mommy?

[00:32.65] I can't find mommy, where is she?"

[00:34.66] "I don't know, go play, Hailie baby, your daddy's busy

[00:37.90] Daddy's writing a song, this song ain't gon' write itself"

[00:40.91] I give you one underdog, and you gotta swing by yourself

[00:44.15] Then turn right around in that song and tell her you love her

[00:47.41] And put hands on her mother who's the spittin' image of her

[00:50.66] That's Slim Shady, yeah baby Slim Shady's crazy

[00:53.90] Shady made me

[00:55.16] But tonight, Shady's rock-a-bye baby

[00:57.66] And when I'm gone just carry on don't mourn

[01:00.66] Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice, just know that

[01:04.16] I'm lookin' down on you smilin'

[01:06.16] And I didn't feel a thing so baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back

[01:10.66] And when I'm gone just carry on don't mourn

[01:12.91] Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice, just know that

[01:16.90] I'm lookin' down on you smilin'

[01:18.91] And I didn't feel a thing so baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back

[01:23.16] I keep havin' this dream

[01:24.15] I'm pushin' Hailie on a swing, she keeps screamin', she don't want me to sing

[01:28.66] "You're makin' mommy cry, why, why is mommy cryin'"

[01:31.90] "Baby, daddy ain't leavin' no more, daddy you're lyin'

[01:35.15] You always say that, you always say this is the last time

[01:38.90] But you ain't leavin' no more daddy, you're mine"

[01:41.66] She's pilin' boxes in front of the door tryin' to block it

[01:44.91] "Daddy please, daddy, don't leave, daddy, no, stop it"

[01:48.41] Goes in her pocket, pulls out a tiny necklace locket

[01:51.41] It's got a picture, "This will keep you safe daddy, take it with ya"

[01:54.90] I look up, it's just me standin' in the mirror

[01:57.91] These fuckin' walls must be talkin', 'cause man I can hear 'em

[02:01.16] They're sayin', "you got one more chance to do right

[02:03.66] And it's tonight, now go out and show 'em that you love 'em before it's too late"

[02:07.90] And just as I go to walk out of my bedroom door

[02:10.66] It turns to a stage, they're gone and the spotlight is on and I'm singin'

[02:14.40] And when I'm gone just carry on don't mourn

[02:17.16] Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice, just know that

[02:20.91] I'm lookin' down on you smilin'

[02:22.90] And I didn't feel a thing so baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back

[02:27.41] And when I'm gone just carry on don't mourn

[02:30.16] Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice, just know that

[02:33.91] I'm lookin' down on you smilin'

[02:35.66] And I didn't feel a thing so baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back

[02:39.66] Sixty thousand people all jumpin' out their seat

[02:42.41] The curtain closes, they're throwin' roses at my feet

[02:45.66] I take a bow, and thank you all for comin' out

[02:48.91] They're screamin' so loud, I take one last look at the crowd

[02:52.16] I glance down, I don't believe what I'm seein'

[02:55.41] "Daddy, its me, help mommy, her wrists are bleedin'"

[02:58.66] But baby we're in Sweden

[03:00.16] How did you get to Sweden?

[03:01.90] "I followed you daddy

[03:03.16] You told me that you weren't leavin'

[03:04.91] You lied to me dad, and now you made mommy sad

[03:08.16] And I bought you this coin, it says number one dad

[03:11.41] That's all I wanted, I just want to give you this coin"

[03:14.66] "I get the point, fine, me and mommy are goin'"

[03:17.90] "But baby wait, it's too late dad, you made your choice

[03:20.91] Now go out there and show 'em that you love 'em more than us

[03:24.16] That's what they want

[03:25.40] They want you, Marshall

[03:26.65] They keep screamin' your name

[03:28.41] It's no wonder you can't go to sleep

[03:30.66] Just take another pill, yeah I bet you you will!

[03:33.91] You rap about it, yeah word, kid keep it real"

[03:37.15] I hear a applause, all this time I couldn't see

[03:40.40] How could it be, that the curtain is closin' on me

[03:43.41] I turn around, find a gun on the ground

[03:46.16] Cock it, put it to my brain, scream "die Shady!" And pop it

[03:49.91] The sky darkens, my life flashes

[03:52.16] The plane that I was supposed to be on, crashes, and burns to ashes

[03:56.41] That's when I wake up

[03:58.15] Alarm clock's ringing, there's birds singin'

[04:00.16] It's spring and Hailie's outside swingin'

[04:02.65] I walk right up to Kim and kiss her tell her I miss her

[04:05.65] Hailie just smiles and winks at her little sister almost as if to say

[04:09.40] And when I'm gone just carry on don't mourn

[04:12.16] Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice, just know that

[04:16.16] I'm lookin' down on you smilin'

[04:18.15] And I didn't feel a thing so baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back

[04:22.66] And when I'm gone just carry on don't mourn

[04:25.91] Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice, just know that

[04:28.91] I'm lookin' down on you smilin'

[04:30.90] And I didn't feel a thing so baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back
