when i am gone by eminem

Yeah, it's my life

My own words, 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're your heart

And you know you are their 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 to spite you

What happens when you become the main source of her 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 a song, this song ain't gon' write itself"

I 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 the 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 lookin' down on you smilin'

And I didn't 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 lookin' down on you smilin'

And I didn't feel a thing so baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back

I keep havin' this dream

I'm pushin' Hailie on a swing, she keeps screamin', 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 lyin'

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 pilin' boxes in front of the door tryin' to block it

"Daddy please, daddy, don't leave, daddy, no, stop it"

Goes in her pocket, pulls out a tiny necklace locket

It's got a picture, "This will keep you safe daddy, take it with ya"

I look up, it's just me standin' 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 tonight, now go out and show 'em that you love 'em before it's too late"

And just as I go to walk out of my bedroom door

It turns to a stage, they're gone and the spotlight is on and I'm singin'

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 lookin' down on you smilin'

And I didn't 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 lookin' down on you smilin'

And I didn't feel a thing so baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back

Sixty thousand people all jumpin' out their seat

The curtain closes, they're throwin' 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 seein'

"Daddy, its me, help mommy, her wrists are bleedin'"

But baby we're in Sweden

How did you get to Sweden?

"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 one dad

That's all I wanted, I just want to give you this coin"

"I get the point, fine, me and mommy are goin'"

"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 you you will!

You rap about it, yeah word, kid keep it real"

I hear a applause, all this time I couldn't see

How could it be, that the curtain is closin' on me

I turn around, find a 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 ringing, there's birds singin'

It's spring and Hailie's outside swingin'

I walk right up to Kim and kiss her tell her I miss her

Hailie just smiles and winks at her little sister almost as if to say

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 lookin' down on you smilin'

And I didn't 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 lookin' down on you smilin'

And I didn't feel a thing so baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back
