Dear Slim

[Intro]
La-la, la-la-la-la (Dear Slim)
La-la, la-la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la-la (Yeah)
(C'mon) Yo

[Verse 1: KJ-52]
Yo, Dear Slim, I never wrote you or been callin' (Nah)
My name ain't 'Stan', son, nah, we've never met, and (Okay)
My name's KJ, let me begin by introducin' 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 recitin'
What I hope you're learning from the truth, I pray you're findin'
And every word I'm writin' down upon the dotted lines, and
See, I heard your first album, it's called Infinite (I heard it)
I shook my head, 'cause nowadays, you soundin' different (Way different)
What drove you take your whole persona and be flippin' it?
Now, what makes a man totally change? See, I ain't gettin' it
See, was you sick of gettin' booed when you was rippin' it
And sick of never havin' dough, and you want to put an end to it? (Man)
What good's all kinds of dough, plus all kinds of flow (It's good for nothin')
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 (To whom it may concern:)
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 (To whom it may concern:)
La-la, la-la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la-la (To whom it may concern:)

[Verse 2: KJ-52]
Yeah, yo
Dear Slim, I never wrote you or been callin' (Nah)
This is my second letter 'cause, see, son, I gots a real problem (What's that?)
It's that, to you, that I'm always catchin' these comparisons
And after shows, I got these people comin' up to me, sayin'
"You sound like Slim Shady" (Slim) "You sound like Eminem"
And I be like, "Now really, man? Do I gots to go through this again?" (No)
See, I used to get mad and sick of people sayin' that
Till, at this one show, this one day, I met this one cat (S'up, s'up, son?)
He told me how he used to listen to you, but now he listens to me (Yeah, he did)
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 (Word?)
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 irrelevant? Is it true life you tellin' 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': (Okay)
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' (Right)
Now I'm prayin' that, your heart, that'll soon be changin' (Alright, man)
Prayin' one day that you'll be callin' 'pon His name, and (Okay)
But anyway, I'm signin' off now, don't keep me waitin'
This is KJ, another cat just tryna make it

[Chorus]
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 (To whom it may concern:)
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 (To whom it may concern:)

[Verse 3: KJ-52]
Dear Slim, I heard about the stuff you's goin' 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 growin' 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 (That's true)
But really, tell me, what you do? (I don't know)
Do you just push on with hopes on that, someday, you'll put on your crew? (Right)
I hope you understand that I ain't even dissin' you (Nah, man)
And even though it's a song you'll pro'bly never listen to (Well)
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 (That's true)
Hope you remember this now, a few sentences
About a livin' God who loves you and, plus, forgives
And I'll be prayin' 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 (That's true)
You'll sell a couple mill', I'll pro'bly sell a couple hundred (Well)
There's more to life then sellin' records and just gettin' blunted (That's real)
But anyway, that's really all I gots to say (Okay)
Just another word from an emcee now around the way (Alright)
Maybe someday we meet each other in some way
Till then, one love, one God, one way (Go!)

[Chorus]
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 (To whom it may concern:)
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 (To whom it may concern:)
