Dear Slim I never wrote you or been callin
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 writin
Why I took the time, the who what where and why and
The purpose of my verse, the reasons I'm reciting
What I hope your learnin from the truth I pray your finding
And every word I'm writin down upon the dotted lines and
See I heard ya first album, was called Infinite
I shook my head cause nowadays you soundin 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 your 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
CHORUS
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 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
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
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
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 praying that it's your heart that will soon be changing
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
CHORUS
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 only 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 dissin you
And even though its 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
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 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
la la la la la
Dear slim
la la la la la

yo yo yo yo
la la la la la la la la yo
la la la la la la la la la yo
la la la la la la la la Dear Slim part 2
la la la la la la la la yo
Dear Slim I wrote you but you ain't callin'
It's been a couple years now since I wrote that song and
alot has changed now for you and I
I had no clue that I would write a song for you and
It would change some lives
Kids with tears in the eyes
They now come up to me
Showing love to me
And telling me that they look up to me
The effects to me well
Were really kinda strange to see
I only wanted to share with you now
Jesus done for me
But theres a whole 'nother side to things now
That I come to see
It's a huge influence you got upon on the industry
But enough of me
Cause it's not what I came to say to you
Not a day goes by while I take time to pray for you
Sorry now for what your mom and dad
What they did to you
But I can relate with you
Cause well see dude I've been there too
I know theres a lot of pain and hurt
Now that you've been through
But never forget there's a real love that God gave to you
la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la to whom it may concern
la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la still to whom it may concern
la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la To whom it may concern
la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la It's still to whom it may concern
Yo dear Slim I wrote you and you still ain't callin'
backstage at the VMAs someone gave you my song and
I kinda wonderin' what you thought man
Or when that guy walked up to you
and talked to you and put it in your hands
Maybe you never listened to it or
Maybe you lost it
Or maybe you heard it and you just got mad
And then you tossed it
Did he hit you back
That's the question I always get
I'm like well God forbid you might even have liked it
I don't know but
Congratulations on your movie yo and
Heard your last record well over ten million sold
But there's one thing that gots me thinkin' bro
Does the Grammy mean anything if it's just gotta cost your sole
In case you didn't know theres a lovin' that will never go away
You say your goin' to hell but it don't have to be that way
See the bottom line of what I'm tryin to say is
God puts back the broken peaces
That are were thrown away
If even everyone you know
Just up and goes away
He'll still love you till the very day
That you're old and gray
Too bad alot of Christians all they do is hate on you
Instead of dropin' to their knees
and taken time to pray for you
It's obvious that you really love your daughter dude
for that I gotta tell you well I really got respect for you
So here it is dear Slim chapter part 2
Another cat tring to make it just like you
la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la to whom it may concern
la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la still to whom it may concern
la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la To whom it may concern
la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la It's still to whom it may concern
Yo dear Slim did you hear the junk that I'm goin' through
Kids sending me hate mail and telling me
how I'm fighting you
Telling me how they gonna beat me up and just kill me too
But alot of people they just seem to get my song confused
See what I say to you I know it might even sound funny
But I never came at you just to paint you as the enemy
It wasn't about hatin' or startin' some controversy
It wasn't about blamin' you or tryn to make some money nah
I don't claim to know everything that you've experienced
Man I don't even know if you even ever be hearin' this
But I said it once and I still hold it is
Is that a life without Christ is still a life that is never fixed
I'll tell you this even if its a hard pill to swallow
Like it or not Slim you're gonna always be a roll model
Do you know these kids we're the ones they always follow
What we say and how we live gives them a better tomorrow
I've had my share of some plus man I've been rejected
I've been chewed up spit out and cussed disrespected
But if I die to day and never sell another record
Jesus gave me more than I ever could of been expected
I know life is hectic it can leave you blown away
But check it bro cause we all just gonna die someday
And on that note well there's only one thing still left to say
There's still one love and one God and only one way
la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la to whom it may concern
la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la still to whom it may concern
la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la To whom it may concern
la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la It's still to whom it may concern
la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la to whom it may concern
la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la still to whom it may concern
la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la To whom it may concern
