tekst piosenki When I'm gone - Eminem


Yeh...
It's My Life...
The Only One I Guess...



[ 1st Verse ]

Have you ever loved someone so much, you'd give an arm for?
Not the _expression, NO... literally give an arm for?
When they know they're your heart,
And you know your are their armor,
And you will destroy anyone who would try and harm 'em,
But what happens when karma, turns right around and bites you?
And everything you stand for, turns on you despite you?
What happens when you become the main source of a pain?
Daddy look what I made, Dad's gotta go catch a plane.
Daddy where's mummy? I can't find mummy where is she?
I don't know go play Hayley baby, ya daddy's busy.
Daddy's writing this song... this song ain't gonna write itself,
I'll give you one underdog, then you gotta swing by yourself.
Then turn right around on that song and tell her you love her,
Then put hands of her mother... who's a splitting image of her.
That's Slim Shady, Yeh baby... Slim Shady's crazy,
Shady made me, but tonight Shady's rocker by baby.



[ Chorus/Hook ]

...And when I'm gone, just carry on... don't mourn.
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice,
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling,
And I ain't gon' feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain.
Just smile back...
...And when I'm gone, just carry on... don't mourn.
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice,
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling,
And I ain't gon' feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain.
Just smile back...



[ 2nd Verse ]

I keep having this dream, I'm pushing Hayley on the swings,
She keeps screaming, she don't want me to sing.
You're making mummy cry. Why? Why is mummy crying,
Baby daddy ain't leaving no more, daddy you're lying.
You always say that, You always say this is the last time,
But you ain't leaving no more, Daddy you're mine.
She's piling boxes in front of the door trying to block it,
Daddy please, daddy don't leave, daddy, noo stop it,
Go's in her pocket, pulls out a tiny necklace locket.
It's got a picture, It'll keep you safe daddy, take it with ya,
I look up, it's just me standing in the mirror,
These sinking walls must be talking, Cos man I can hear 'em.
They're saying "You've got one more chance to do right", and it's june ninth,
Now go out there and show that you love 'em before it's too late.
And just as I go to walk out my bedroom door,
It's turns to a stage, they're gone, and this spotlight is on,
And I'm singing...



[ Chorus/Hook ]

...And when I'm gone, just carry on... don't mourn.
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice,
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling,
And I ain't gon' feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain.
Just smile back...
...And when I'm gone, just carry on... don't mourn.
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice,
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling,
And I ain't gon' feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain.
Just smile back...



[ 3rd Verse ]

Sixty thousand people, all jumping out their seats,
The curtain closes, they're throwing roses at my feet.
I take a bow and thank you all for coming out,
The scream is so loud, I take one last look at the crowd.
I glance down, I don't believe what I'm seeing,
Daddy it's me, help mummy her wrists are bleeding,
But baby we’re in Sweden, how did you get to Sweden,
I followed you daddy, you told me that you weren't leaving.
You lied to me dad, and now you make mummy sad,
And I bought you this coin, it says 'Number One Dad!'.
That's all I wanted, I just want to give you this coin,
I get the point... fine, me and mummy are goin'.
But baby wait, It's too late dad, you made the choice,
Now go up there and show 'em that you love 'em more than us.
That's what they want, they want you Marshall, they keep screaming your name,
It's no wonder you can't go to sleep... just take another [pill?],
Yeh, I bet you you will. You rap about it... Yeh, Word, Keep it real.
I hear applause, all this time I couldn't see,
How could it be, That the curtain is closing on me.
I turn around, find a [gun?] on the ground cock it,
Put it to my brain and scream 'Die Shady!' and pop it.
The sky darkens, my life flashes,
the plane what I was supposed to be on crashes and burns to ashes.
That's when I wake up, A long hot spring and there's birds singing,
It's brilliant, Hayley's outside swinging, I walk up to Kim and kiss her.
Tell her I miss her, Hayley just smiles and winks at her little sister.
Almost as if to say...



[ Chorus/Hook - Outro ]

...And when I'm gone, just carry on... don't mourn.
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice,
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling,
And I ain't gon' feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain.
Just smile back...
...And when I'm gone, just carry on... don't mourn.
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice,
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling,
And I ain't gon' feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain.
Just smile back...
