Dear Slim I wrote you but you ain't calling
It's been a couple years now since I wrote that song and
A lot has changed now for you and I
I had no clue that I would write a song to you
And it would change some lives
Kids with tears in they eyes now come up to me
Showing love to me and telling that they look up to me
The effects to me well it's really kind of strange to see
I only wanted to share with you what Jesus done for me
But there's a whole another side of things now I've come to see
It's a huge influence that you go upon the industry
But enough of me it's not what I came to say to you
Not a day goes by where I don't take time to pray for you
And I'm sorry for what ya mom and dad they did to you
But I can relate with you cause well see dude I've been there too
I know there's a lot of pain and hurt now that you been through
But never forget there's a real love God gave for you
La la la la la (To whom it may concern)
La la la la la (It's still to whom it may concern)
Dear Slim I wrote you but ya still ain't calling
Backstage at the VMA's someone gave you my song and
I'm kind of wondering what ya thought man
When that guy walked up to ya talked to ya and put it in your hands
Maybe ya never listened to it or maybe ya lost it
Or maybe ya heard it ya just got mad and then ya tossed it
Did he diss you back that's the question that I always get
I'm like well God forbid that ya might even have liked it
I don't know but congratulations on your movie yo
And I heard ya last record well it's over 10 million sold
But there's one thing that's really got me thinking bro
Does a grammy mean anything if it's just got to cost ya soul
In case ya didn't know there's a love that will never go away
You said you was going to hell but it don't have to be that way
See the bottom line of what I'm trying to say is
God puts back together the broken pieces that been thrown away
Even if everyone you know just ups and goes away
He'll still love you till the very day that ya old and gray
Too bad a lot of Christians all they do is hate on you
Instead of dropping to they knees and taking time to pray for you
And it's obvious that ya really love ya daughter dude
And for that I gotta tell ya well I really got respect for you
So here it is Dear Slim Part 2
From just another cat trying to make it just like you
Dear Slim did you hear the junk that I'm going through
Kids sending me hate mail and telling me how I'm biting you
Telling me how they gone beat me and just kill me too
But a lot of people they just seem to get the song confused
See what I say to you I know it might even sound funny
But I never came at you just to paint you as the enemy
It wasn't about hating you or starting some controversy
It wasn't about blaming you or trying to make some money
I don't claim to know everything that you've experienced
Man I don't even know if you'll even be hearing this
But I said it once and I still hold to this
Is that a life without Christ is still a life that is never fixed
I'll tell ya this even if it's a hard pill to swallow
Like it or not Slim you're gonna always be a role model
Do you know these kids we're the ones they always follow
What we say and how we live gives them a better tomorrow
I had my share of sorrow plus man I been rejected
I've been chewed up spit out and plus disrespected
But if I die today and I never sell another record
Jesus gave me more than I ever could've been expecting
I know life is hectic it can leave ya blown away
But check it bro cause we all just gonna die some day
On that note well there's only one thing left to say
It's still one love one God and only one way
