LYRICS:

Yeah It's my life My own word I guess

Have you ever loved someone so much you'd give an arm for Not the expression, no, literally give an arm for When they know they your heart And you know you were they armor And you will destroy anyone who would try to harm her But what happens when karma, turns right around and bites you And everything you stand for turns on you, despite's you What happens when you become the main source of a pain? Daddy look what i made, dad's gotta go catch a plane Daddy where's mommy? I can't find mommy, where is she? I don't know, go play hailie, baby your daddy's busy Daddy's writing this song, the song ain't gon' right itself I'll give you one underdog and you gotta swing by yourself Then turn right around in that song and tell her you love her And put hands on her mother who's a spittin' image of her That's slim shady, yeah baby slim shady's crazy Shady made me, but tonight shady's rock-a-bye baby

And when i'm gone just carry on don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice Just know that, i'm looking down on you smiling And i ain't gon' feel a thing So baby don't feel no pain just smile back    And when i'm gone just carry on don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice Just know that, i'm looking down on you smiling And i ain't gon' feel a thing So baby don't feel no pain just smile back I keep havin' this dream I'm pushing hailie on the swing She keeps screaming, she don't want me to sing You're makin' mommy cry Why, why is mommy cryin'? Baby, daddy ain't leavin' no more Daddy you're lying, you always say that You always say this is the last time But you ain't leavin' no more, daddy you're mine She's piling boxes in front of the door tryin' to block it Daddy please daddy don't leave, daddy no, stop it! Goes in the pocket, pulls out a tiny necklace locket It's got a picture, this'll keep you safe daddy take it wit' ya I look up, it's just me standing in the mirror These fuckin' walls must be talkin' 'cause man i can hear 'em They're sayin' you got one more chance to do right, and it's to-night Now go out there and show 'em that you love 'em 'fore it's too late And just as i go to walk outta my bedroom door it turns to a stage They're gone, and the spotlight is on, and i'm singing...

And when i'm gone just carry on don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice Just know that i'm looking down on you smiling And i ain't gon' feel a thing So baby don't feel no pain just smile back    And when i'm gone just carry on don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice Just know that, i'm looking down on you smiling And i ain't gon' feel a thing So baby don't feel no pain just smile back    Sixty thousand people, are jumpin' out they seat The curtain closes, they're throwing roses at my feet I take a bow, and thank you all for comin' out They're screamin' so loud, i take one last look at the crowd I glance down, i don't believe what i'm seeing Daddy, it's me! help mommy her wrists are bleedin' But baby we're in sweeden, how did you get to sweeden? I followed you daddy You told me that you weren't leavin' You lied to me dad, and now you made mommy sad And i bought you this coin, it says 'number 1 dad' That's all i wanted, i just wanna give you this coin I get the point, fine! me and mommy are going But baby wait! It's too late dad you made your choice Now go out there and show 'em that you love 'em more than us That's what they want, they want you marshall They keep, screamin' your name It's no wonder you can't go to sleep, just take another pill Yeah, i bet ya you will You rap about it, yeah. word. can't keep it real I hear applause, all this time i couldn't see How could it be, that the curtain is closin' on me? I turn around, find that gun on the ground, cock it Put it to my brain, scream "die shady" and pop it The sky darkens, my life flashes The plane that i was supposed to be on crashes and burns to ashes That's when i wake up, alarm clock's ringin' There's birds singin, it's spring and, hailie's outside swingin' I walked right up to kim and kiss her, tell her i missed her Hailie just smiles and winks at her little sister, almost as if the...

And when i'm gone just carry on don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice Just know that, i'm looking down on you smiling And i ain't gon' feel a thing So baby don't feel no pain just smile back  And when i'm gone just carry on don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice Just know that, i'm looking down on you smiling And i ain't gon' feel a thing So baby don't feel no pain just smile back Why did I choose this song? I've been listening to this song for almost 3 years and i will never stop listening to it at least in the next other 3 or 4 years. At first when I was younger I didn't know what was all about until I read the lyrics and I saw an image of someone reflected on it. I basically chosed it because if you think on it and listen attentively to the lyrics you realise that what he is saying is fairly true and possible and happens, and that there are rappers who don't only swear without sense but they try to spit out a message. I've also chosed it because I've been an eminem fan since I was 12 years old and I lovw the way he expresses himself and the way he acts. What do the lyrics say? The lyrics transmit a clear image of him talking to his daughter and how it's difficult for him to support his fame his fans and his private life so that anyone feels rejected unconciously.

The diffcult relationship with Kimberlly (his wife) is another factor that he mentions and at the end it sounds as if everything is okay! "I walked right up to Kim and kiss her, tell her i missed her"
