WHEN I'M GONE

Lyrics
Recordings
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

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

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 having this dream

I''m pushin Hailie

on the swing

she keeps screaming

She don''t want

me to sing

You''re making

mommy cry why

why is mommy crying

Baby Daddy ain''t

leaving no more

Daddy you''re lying

You always say

that you always say

this is the last time

but you ain''t

leaving no more

Daddy you''re mine

She''s piling boxes

in front of the door

trying 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**king walls

must be talking

cuz man I can hear em

They''re saying you got

one more chance

to do right

and it''s tonight

Now go out there

and show em

that you love

em fore its 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

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 jumping

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 seeing

Daddy it''s me

Help mommy

her wrists

are bleeding

But baby

we''re in Sweden

how did you

get to Sweden

I followed you daddy

you told me that

you weren''t leaving

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 going

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 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 ringing

There''s birds singing

it''s spring and

Hailie''s outside swinging

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

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
