When I’m Gone Eminem [Introduction] Yeah... It's my life... My own words I [Verse 1] Have you loved someone so much, you'd give an arm for? Not expression, no, literally give an arm for? When they know your heart And you know you were armour And you will destroy anyone would try to harm 'her But what happens when karma, right around and bites you? And everything you stand for, turns you, despite you? What happens when you become the main of her pain? "Daddy look what I made", Dad's gotta go catch plane where's Mommy? I can't find Mommy where is she?" I don't go play Hailie, baby, your Daddy's busy Daddy's writing a song, this song gonna write itself give you one underdog then you gotta swing by yourself Then turn around in that song and tell her you love her And put hands on mother, who's a spitting image of her That's Slim Shady, yeah baby, Shady's crazy Shady made me, but Shady's rocka-by-baby... [Chorus] And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't Rejoice every time you the sound of my voice Just know that I'm down on you smiling And I didn't feel a thing, So baby feel no pain Just smile back And when I'm gone, carry on, don't mourn every time you hear the sound of my voice Just that I'm looking down on you smiling And I feel a thing, So 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? is Mommy crying?" Daddy ain't leaving no more, "Daddy you're lying "You always say that, you always say is the last time "But you ain't leaving more, Daddy you're mine" She's piling boxes in front of the door trying to it "Daddy Daddy don't leave, Daddy - no stop it!" Goes in her pocket, pulls out a tiny locket It's got a picture, keep you safe Daddy, take it withcha'" I look it's just me standing in the mirror These fuckin' walls must talking, cuz man I can hear 'em They're saying "You've got one chance to do right" - and it's tonight Now go out there and show that you love 'em before too late And just I go to walk out of my bedroom door It's turns to a stage, gone, and this spotlight is on And I'm singing... [Chorus] when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear the sound my voice Just that I'm looking down on you smiling And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't no pain Just smile back when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear sound of my voice Just know that I'm looking down on you And I didn't feel thing, So baby don't feel no pain Just smile back... [Verse 3] Sixty thousand all jumping out their seat The curtain closes, they're throwing roses at my I a bow and thank you all for coming out They're screaming so loud, I one last look at the crowd I glance down, I don't believe what seeing "Daddy it's me, help Mommy, wrists are bleeding," But baby we're in Sweden, how did you get Sweden? "I followed you Daddy, you told me that you weren't "You lied to me Dad, 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 - fine, me and Mommy are But baby wait, "it's too Dad, you made the choice "Now out there and show 'em that you love 'em more than us" That's what they 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 I see How could it be, that the curtain is on me I turn around, find gun on the ground, cock it Put it to my brain and scream "die 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, alarm clock's ringin', birds singin' It's and Hailie's outside swinging, I walk right up to Kim and kiss her Tell her miss her, Hailie smiles and winks at her little sister as if to say.. [Chorus/Outro] And when I'm gone, just carry don't mourn Rejoice time you hear the sound of my voice Just know that I'm down on you smiling And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no Just smile back And when I'm gone, carry on, don't mourn Rejoice every you hear the sound of my voice Just know that I'm looking on you smiling And I didn't feel thing, So baby don't feel no pain Just smile back... closing and sounds of footsteps]
