When I'm Gone

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 were their armour
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 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 this song this song ain't gonna write itself
I'll give you one underdog then you gotta swing by yourself
Then turn right around on that song and tell her you love her
And put hands on her mother who's a spitting image of her
That's Slim Shady yeah baby Slim Shady's crazy
Shady made me but tonight shady's rock-a-by-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 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 looking down on you smiling
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 the swing she keeps screaming
She don't want me to sing you're makin' mommy cry why
Why is mommy crying
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 her pocket pulls out a tiny necklace locket
It's got a picture
This'll keep you safe daddy take it witcha
I look up it's just me standing in the mirror these
F**kin' walls must be talking
Cause man I can hear 'em
They're sayin' you got one more chance to do right and it's tonight
Now go out there
And show 'em that you love 'em 'fore 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 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 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 looking down on you smiling
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 throwing roses at my feet
I take a bow and thank you all for coming out
They're screaming so loud I take one last look at the crowd
I glance down I don't believe what I'm seein'
Daddy it's 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 1 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 Marshal they keep
Screaming 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 k-keep it real
I hear applause all this time I couldn't see
How could it be that the curtain is closing 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 ringin'
These birds singing 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
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 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 looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing
So baby don't feel no pain just smile back
