Dear Slim
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 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

Dear slim, I never wrote you or been callin'
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
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 think 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

Dear slim, I heard about the stuff you's going 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 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 MC now around the way
Maybe some day we meet each other in some way
Till then one love, one God, one way
