La la la la la la (dear Slim)
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la

Dear Slim, I never wrote you or been calling
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 writing
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 learning from the truth I pray you're finding
And every word I'm writing down upon the dotted lines, and
See, I heard ya first album, it was called Infinite
I shook my head 'cause nowadays you sounding different
What drove ya to take your whole persona and be flipping it
Now, what makes a man totally change, see, I ain't getting it
See, was you sick of getting booed when you was ripping it
And sick of never having 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?

Chorus-
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la la (to whom it may concern)

Dear Slim, I never wrote you or been calling
This is my 2nd letter cause, see, son, I got some real problems
It's that to you that I'm always catching these comparisons
And after shows, I got these people coming up to me saying
"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 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
It got him away from all your words and images
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 irrelevant, is it a true life you telling it?
Or just a way for some record companies selling it?
The only thing we got in common in our melanin, or lack of it
But anyways, now, this is what I'm saying
It's for you that I'm on my knees, now, daily praying
Praying that God opens your eyes now to what I'm relaying
Now, I'm praying that's it's your heart that'll soon be changing
Praying one day that you'll be calling upon his name and
But anyway, I'm signing off now, don't keep me waiting
This is KJ, another cat just trying to make it.

Chorus

Dear Slim, I heard about the stuff you's going through
See, I could relate to you, 'cause, son, I'm about as old as you
See, we both know what's 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, but, really, tell me what you do?
You just push on with hopes on that somedays 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
Is that a life without Christ is just a life that is never fixed
I 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 mil, I'll probably sell a couple hundred
There's more to life than 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 someday we meet each other in some way
Till then, one love, one God, one way.

Chorus
