Letra:
Yeah
i know sometimes
things may not... always make sense to you right now
but hey, what'd daddy always tell you?
straiten up little soldier
stiffen up that upper lip
what you cryin' about?
you got me
Hailie i know you miss your mom
and i know you miss your dad
when i'm gone
but i'm tryin' to give you the life that i never had
i can see you sad
even when you smile
even when you laugh
i can see it in your eyes
deep inside, you wanna cry
cuz you're scared
i ain't there? daddy's with you in your prayers
no more cryin', wipe them tears
daddy's here, no more nightmares
we gon' pull together through it
we gon' do it
laynee, uncle's crazy ain't he
yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it
world we got in this world
when it spins, when it swirls
when it whirls, when it twirls
two little beautiful girls
lookin' puzzled, in a daze
i know it's confusin' you
daddy's always on the move, mommy's always in the news
i try to keep you sheltered from it
but somehow it seems
the harder that i try to do that
the more it backfires on me
all the things growing up as daddy that he had to see
daddy don't want you to see
but you see just as much as he did
we did not plan it to be this way
your mother and me
but things have got so bad between us
i don't see us ever being together
ever again
like we used to be when we was teenagers
but then of course everything always happens for a reason
i guess it was never meant to be
but it's just something we have no control over
and that's what destiny is
well no more worries
rest your head and go to sleep
maybe one day we'll wake up and this'll all just be a dream

chorus:
now hush little baby don't you cry
everything's gonna be alright
stiffen that upper lip up
little lady, i told ya
daddy's gonna hold ya
through the night
i know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why
we feel how we feel inside
it may seem a little crazy
pretty baby
but i promise: momma's gonna be alright

it's funny
i remember back one year when daddy had no money
mommy wrapped the christmas
presents up and stuck em' under the tree
and said some of em' were from me
cuz daddy couldn't buy em'
i'll never forget that christmas
i sat up the whole night cryin'
cuz daddy felt like a bum
see daddy had a job
but his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom
and at the time
every house that we lived in
either kept getting broken into and robbed
or shot up on the block
and your mom was saving money for you in a jar
tryin' to start a piggy bank for you so
that you could go to college
almost had a thousand dollars
till someone broke in and stole it
and i know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart
and it seemed like everything was starting to fall apart
mom and dad was arguin' alot so momma
moved back on the traumas on a falt
one bedroom appartment
and dad moved back to the other side of 8 mile on navara
and that's when daddy went to california with his cd
and met dr dre, and flew you and momma out to see me
but daddy had to work
you and momma had to leave me
then you started to see me on the tv
and momma didn't like it
and you an' laynee were too young to understand it
pappa was a rolling stone, momma developed a habit
and it all happened to fast
for either one of us to grab it
i'm just sorry you were there
and had to witness it first hand
cuz all i ever wanted to do was make you proud
now i'm sittin' in this empty house
just reminising lookin' at your baby pictures
it just trips me out
to see how much you both have grown
it's almost like your sisters now
wow, guess you pretty mucn are
and daddy's still here
laynee i'm talking to you too
daddy's still here
i like the sound of that cheer
it's got a ring to it don' it
shh... momma's only gone for the moment
Chorus
And if you ask me too daddy's
gonna buy you a mockingbird
i'm gon' give you the world
i'm gon' buy a diamond ring for you
imma sing for you
i'll do anything for you to see you smile
and if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine
imma break that birdy's neck
i go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya
and make em eat every carat, don't fuck with that

Álbum : THE SHOW
Año: 2008
Letra:
Where's my snare, I have no snare in my headphones,
there ya' go, yeah, yo', yo'...

Have you ever been hated or discriminated against,
I have, i've been protested and demonstrated
against, picket signs for my wicked rhymes,
look at the times, sick is the mind of the
motherfuckin' kid that's behind, all this commotion,
emotions run deep as ocean's explodin',
tempers flaring from parents,
just blow 'em off and keep goin', not takin' nothin' from no one,
give 'em hell long as i'm breathin',
keep kickin' ass in the mornin', an' takin' names in the
evening, leave 'em with a taste as sour as vinegar in they mouth,
see they can trigger me but
they'll never figure me out, look at me now,
I bet ya' probably sick of me now, ain't you mama,
i'ma make you look so ridiculous now...

[CHORUS]

I'm sorry mama, I never meant to hurt you,
I never meant to make you cry, but tonight i'm
cleanin' out my closet, {one more time},
I said i'm sorry mama, I never meant to hurt you, I
never meant to make you cry,
but tonight i'm cleanin' out my closet...

I got some skeletons in my closet and
I don't know if no one knows it, so before they thrown me
inside my coffin and close it, i'ma expose it,
i'll take you back to '73, before I ever had a
multi-platinum sellin' Cd, I was a baby
maybe I was just a couple of months, my faggot father
must have had his pantie's up in a bunch,
cause he split, I wonder if he even kissed me goodbye,
no I don't on second thought,
I just fuckin' wished he would die, I look at Hailie and I
couldn't picture leavin' her side,
even if I hated Kim, I grit my teeth and I'd try, to make it
work with her at least for Hailie's sake,
I maybe made some mistakes but i'm only human, but i'm
man enough to face them today, what I did was stupid,
no doubt it was dumb, but the smartest
shit I did was take them bullets out of that gun,
cause id'a killed 'em, shit I would have shot
Kim and him both, it's my life,
i'd like to welcome y'all to the Eminem show...

[CHORUS]

Now I would never diss my own mama just to get recognition,
take a second to listen for you
think this record is dissin',
but put yourself in my position,
just try to envision witnessin'
your Mama poppin' prescription pills in the kitchen,
bitchin' that someone's always goin'
through her purse and shits missin',
going through public housing systems, victim of
Munchausen's syndrome,
my whole life I was made to believe
I was sick when I wasn't 'til I grew
up, now I blew up, it makes you sick to ya' stomach,
doesn't it, wasn't it the reason you made
that Cd for me, ma,
so you could try to justify the way you treated me,
ma, but guess what, your
gettin' older now and it's cold when your lonely,
and Nathan's growing up so quick, he's gonna
know that your phoney, and Hailie's getting so big now,
you should see her, she's beautiful, but
you'll never see her, she won't even be at your funeral,
see what hurts me the most is you won't
admit you was wrong, bitch, do your song,
keep tellin' yourself that you was a mom, but how dare
you try to take what you didn't help me to get,
you selfish bitch, I hope you fuckin' burn in
hell for this shit,
remember when Ronnie died and you said you wished it was me,
well guess
what, I am dead, dead to you as can be...

Álbum : CURTAIN CALL (THE HITS)
Año: 2008
Letra:
[Intro]
Yeah
It's my life
But all in words I guess

[Verse 1]
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 are your heart
And you know you are their armour
And you will destroy anyone who will 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 mummy? I can't find mummy, where is she?”
I don't know, go play, Hailie baby your daddy's busy.
Daddy's writin'a
song, this song ain't gon' write itself
I give you one underdog, then you gotta swing by yourself
Then to write a rhyme in a song and tell her you love her
And put hands on her mother who's a spittin' image of her
That's slim shady, yeah baby slim shady's crazy
Shady made me, but tonight, Shady's rock-a-by baby

[Chorus] [x2]
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 smiling
And I didn't feel a thing so baby don't feel no pain,
just smile back

[Verse 2]
I keep havin' this dream –
I'm pushin' hailie on the swings she keeps screamin'
She don't want me to sing, “You're makin mummy cry,
why, why's mummy 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 infront 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 with you”
I look up, it's just me standin in the mirror,
these fucking walls must be talkin coz man I can hear 'em
They 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 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 singin...

[Chorus] [x2]
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 smiling
And I didn't feel a thing so baby don't feel no pain,
just smile back

[Verse 3]
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 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 it's me! Help mummy 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 wern't leavin
You lied to me dad, and now you make mummy sad
And I bought you this coin
It says 'number 1 dad', that's all I wanted
I just wanna give you this coin
I get the point, fine, me and mummy are goin”
But baby wait-
“its too late dad, you made your choice.
Now go out there and show 'em 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 fuckin pill, yeah i bet ya you will
You rap about it. Yeah word, ke-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',
There's birds singin', it's spring and
Hailie's out side 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

[Chorus] [x2]
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 smiling
And I didn't feel a thing so baby don't feel no pain,
just smile back.
