Dear Slim

Dear Slim, I never wrote you or been calling

My name ain't Stan son nah we've never met and

My name's KJ let me begin by introducing now

Myself to you and these very reasons I'll be writing

Why I took my time the who what where and why and

The purpose of my verse and the reasons I'm reciting

What I hope your learning from the truth I pray your finding

And every word I'm writing down upon the dotted lines and

See I heard ya first album it was called infinite

I shook my head cause nowadays you sounding different

What drove ya to take your whole persona and be flipping it

Now what makes a man totally change see I ain't getting it

See was you sick of getting booed when you was ripping it

And sick of never having 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

La la la la la la

La la la la la la la la (to whom it may concern)

(4x)

Dear Slim I never wrote you or been calling

This is my 2nd letter cause see son I gots a real problem

It's that to you that I'm always catching these comparisons

And after shows I got these people coming up to me saying

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

He told me how he used to listen to you but now listens to me

Had your LP but threw it out and bought my CD

I'm like "For real?" he's like "Yeah," said my music made a difference

It got him away from all your words and images

Gotta mention this now what about the effects you have on kids?

You ever stop to think about the millions you influence

Or is it just irrelevant is it a true life you telling it

Or just a way for some record companies selling it

The only thing we's got in common is our melanin

Or a lack of it but anyway now this is what I'm saying

Its for you that I'm on my knees now daily praying

Praying that God opens your eyes now to what I'm relaying

Now I'm praying that it's your heart that will soon be changing

Praying one day that you'll be calling upon his name and

But anyway I'm signing off now don't keep me waiting

This is KJ another cat just trying to make it

La la la la la la

La la la la la la la la (to whom it may concern)

Dear Slim I heard about the stuff you's going through

See I could relate to you cause son I'm about 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

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 dissing you

And even though it's a song you'll probably never listen to

See what I send to you is this

Is that a life without Christ is just a life that is never fixed

I 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

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 than 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

La la la la la la

La la la la la la la la (to whom it may concern)
