Dear Slim

La la la la la la (yeah, Slim)
 La la la la la la la la
 La la la la la la la la
 Yo, Dear Slim, I never wrote you or been callin'
 My name ain't Stan, son, nah we've never met and (okay)
 My name's KJ, let me begin by introducing now
 Myself to you and these very reasons I'll be writin' (go ahead)
 Why I took the time, and the who, what, where, and why and
 The purpose of my verse, and the reasons I'm reciting
 What I hope you're learnin' from the truth, I pray you're finding
 And every word I'm writin' down upon the dotted lines
 See I heard ya first album, was called "Infinite" (I heard it)
 I shook my head 'cause nowadays you soundin' different (way different)
 What drove ya take your whole persona and be flippin' it now?
 What makes a man totally change? See, I ain't getting it
 See was you sick of getting booed when you was rippin' it
 And sick of never havin' dough, and you wanted to put an end to it
 What good's all kinds of dough
 Plus all kinds of flow
 To gain a world of fans but suffer the loss of soul?

 Dear Slim, I never wrote you or been calling
 This is my 2nd letter 'cause see, son, I got a real problem (What's that?)
 It's thanks to you that I'm always catching these comparisons
 And after shows, I got these people coming up to me sayin'
 You sound like Slim Shady, son, you sound like Eminem
 And I be like now really man, do I gots to go through this again?
 See, I used to get mad and sick of people saying that
 Till at this one show, this one day, I met this one cat ('Sup?)
 He told me how he used to listen to you, but now he listens to me
 Had your LP, but threw it out and bought my CD (tossed it)
 I'm like, "For real?" He's like, "Yeah"
 He said my music made a difference
 It got him away from all your words and images
 I gotta mention this, now what about the effects you have on kids?
 You ever stop to think about the millions you influence (probably not)
 Or is it just irrelevent is it true life you telling it?
 Or just the way for some record companies sellin' it?
 The only thing we got in common is our melanin
 Or lack of it, but anyway, now this is what I'm sayin'
 It's for you that I'm on my knees now daily prayin'
 Prayin' that God opens your eyes now to what I'm relayin'
 Now I'm prayin' that it's your heart that will soon be changin'
 Prayin' one day that you'll be calling upon His name and
 But anyway, I'm signin' off now, don't keep me waitin'
 This is KJ, another cat just trying to make it

 Dear Slim, I heard about the stuff you's going through
 See, I could relate to you 'cause, son, I'm 'bout as old as you
 See, we both know what it's like just to be growing up to be in a neighborhood
 When you's the one and only kid that's white
 Or to get booed when you on the mic just because your skin is light
 It ain't right, but sometimes, you know that's life (that's true)
 But really tell me what you do
 You just push on with hopes on that someday you'll put on your crew
 I hope you understand that I ain't even dissin' you
 And even though it's a song you'll probably never listen to
 See what I send to you is this (What's that?)
 Is that a life without Christ is just a life that is never fixed
 Hope you remember this now a few sentences
 About a living God who loves you and plus forgives
 And I'll be praying for your ex-wife and plus your kid
 It's hard to live in a world as crazy as this one is (word up)
 And even though now it really might sound redundant
 God's got mad love for you up in a mad abundance
 You'll sell a couple mill, I'll probably sell a couple hundred
 There's more to life then selling records and just getting blunted
 But anyway, that's really all I gots to say
 Just another word from an emcee now around the way
 Maybe some day we meet each other in some way
 Till then, one love, one God, one way
