Dear Slim - Collaborations Album Version

La la la la la la (yeah, Slim)
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la

Yo, Dear Slim, I never wrote you or been callin'
My name ain't Stan, son, nah we've never met and (okay)
My name's KJ, let me begin by introducing 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 reciting
What I hope you're learnin' from the truth, I pray you're finding
And every word I'm writin' down upon the dotted lines

See I heard ya first album, was called "Infinite" (I heard it)
I shook my head 'cause nowadays you soundin' different (way different)
What drove ya take your whole persona and be flippin' it now?
What makes a man totally change? See, 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 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 calling
This is my 2nd letter 'cause see, son, I got a real problem (What's that?)
It's thanks 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 ('Sup?)
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 (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
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 irrelevent is it true life you telling 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'

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 prayin' that it's your heart that will soon be changin'
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 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

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 it's a song you'll probably never listen to
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

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 (word up)
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 emcee now around the way
Maybe some day we meet each other in some way
Till then, one love, one God, one way
