When I’m Gone Eminem [Introduction] Yeah... It's my life... My own I guess... [Verse 1] Have you ever loved someone so much, you'd give arm for? the expression, no, literally give an arm for? When they know they're your And you know you their armour And will destroy anyone who would try to harm 'her But what happens when karma, right around and bites you? And everything you stand for, turns on despite you? What happens when you become main source of her pain? "Daddy look I made", Dad's gotta go catch a plane "Daddy where's I can't find Mommy where is she?" I don't go play Hailie, baby, your Daddy's busy Daddy's writing a song, song ain't gonna write itself I'll give you one underdog then you gotta by yourself Then turn right in that song and tell her you love her put hands on her mother, who's a spitting image of her That's Slim Shady, yeah baby, Slim crazy Shady made me, tonight Shady's rocka-by-baby... [Chorus] And when I'm gone, just carry on, mourn Rejoice every time you hear the sound of voice Just that I'm looking down on you smiling I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain Just smile back And when I'm gone, carry on, don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear the of my voice Just know that I'm looking down on smiling And I didn't feel a thing, baby don't feel no pain Just smile back... [Verse 2] I keep having this dream, I'm Hailie on the swing She keeps screaming, she don't want to sing "You're making Mommy cry, why? Why Mommy crying?" Baby, Daddy ain't leaving no "Daddy you're lying always say that, you always say this is the last time "But you ain't leaving more, Daddy you're mine" She's piling in front of the door trying to block it "Daddy Daddy don't leave, Daddy - no stop it!" Goes in her pocket, out a tiny necklace locket It's got a picture, "this'll keep you safe Daddy, it withcha'" look up, it's just me standing in the mirror These fuckin' walls must be cuz man I can hear 'em They're "You've got one more chance to do right" - and it's tonight Now go there and show that you love 'em before it's too late And just as I go walk out of my bedroom door It's turns to a stage, they're gone, and this spotlight is And I'm singing... [Chorus] And when I'm just carry on, don't mourn every time you hear the sound of my voice Just know that I'm looking down on you And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel pain Just smile back And I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn Rejoice every time you the sound of my voice Just know that I'm looking down on you And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel pain Just smile back... [Verse 3] thousand people, all jumping out their seat curtain closes, they're throwing roses at my feet I take a bow and thank you all for coming They're screaming so loud, I take one last at the crowd I glance down, I don't believe I'm seeing it's me, help Mommy, her wrists are bleeding," But baby we're in Sweden, how did get to Sweden? "I followed you Daddy, you told me that weren't leavin' lied to me Dad, and now you make Mommy sad "And I bought you this coin, it says 'Number Dad' "That's all I wanted, I just to give you this coin "I get the point - me and Mommy are going" But baby wait, "it's too late Dad, made the choice "Now go out there and show 'em that love 'em more than us" what they want, they want you Marshall, they keep.. screamin' your name It's no wonder you can't go to sleep, just take pill Yeah, I bet you will. You rap about it, yeah, word, k-keep it real I hear applause, all this time couldn't see How could it be, that the curtain is on me I turn around, find a gun on the cock it Put to my brain and scream "die Shady" and pop it The sky darkens, my life flashes, the plane that I was supposed to be on crashes and burns ashes That's when I wake up, clock's ringin', there's birds singin' It's Spring and Hailie's outside swinging, I walk right up to Kim and kiss Tell her I miss just smiles and winks at her little sister as if to say.. [Chorus/Outro] And when I'm gone, carry on, don't mourn every time you hear the sound of my voice Just know that I'm looking on you smiling And I didn't feel a thing, baby don't feel no pain Just smile back when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn Rejoice every you hear the sound of my voice Just know that I'm looking down you smiling And I feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain Just smile back... [Curtains closing sounds of footsteps]
