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