When I'm Gone by Eminem

Yeah

It's my life

In my own words I guess




Have you (1)________ loved someone so much, you'd give an arm for?

Not the expression, no, literally give an arm for?

When (2)________ know they're your heart

And you know you are their armor

And you will destroy anyone who would try to harm 'em




But what happens when karma, turns (3)__________ 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 mommy? I can't (4)________ mommy, where is she?"

I don't know, go play Haile, baby, your daddy's busy

Daddy's writing this song, this song ain't gon' write itself

I'll give you one underdog, and you (5)__________ swing by yourself




Then turn (6)__________ (7)____________ in that song and tell her you (8)________ her

And put hands on her mother, who's a spitting image of her

That's (9)________ Shady, yeah baby, Slim Shady's crazy

Shady made me, but tonight Shady's rocka-by-baby




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 didn't 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 didn't feel a thing

So baby don't feel no pain

Just smile back




I (10)________ having this dream, I'm pushin' Haile on a swing

She keeps screaming, she don't want me to sing

"You're making mommy cry� Why? Why is mommy crying?

Baby, daddy ain't (11)______________ no more, "Daddy you're lying�




"You always say that, you always say this is the last time

But you ain't (12)______________ 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, no stop it!"




Goes in her pocket, (13)__________ out a tiny necklace locket

It's got a picture, "This'll keep you safe daddy, take it witcha'"

I look up, it's (14)________ me standing in the mirror

These stinkin' walls must be talking, â??cuz man I can hear 'em




They're saying, "You got one more chance to do right

And it's tonight, now go out there

And show â??em that you love 'em â??fore it's too lateâ?

And (15)________ as I go to walk out of my bedroom door

It's turns to a stage, they're gone, and this spotlight is on

And I'm singing




And when I'm gone, (16)________ carry on, don't mourn

Rejoice every time you (17)________ the sound of my voice

Just know (18)________ I'm looking down on you smiling

And I didn't feel a thing

So baby don't feel no pain

Just (19)__________ 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 didn't feel a thing

So baby don't feel no pain

Just smile back




Sixty thousand people, all jumping out their seat

The curtain closes, they're (20)________________ roses at my feet

I take a bow and thank you all for coming out

They're screaming 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 mommy, her ****** are bleeding"

But baby we're in Sweden, how did you get to Sweden?

"I (21)________________ you daddy, you told me that you weren't leavin'

You lied to me dad, and now you made mommy sad

And I bought you this coin, it says 'Number One Dad'�




"That's all I wanted, I just want to (22)________ you this coin

I get the point, fine, me and mommy are goin'"

But baby wait, "It's too late dad, you made (23)________ choice

Now go out there and show 'em that you love 'em more than us"




That's (24)________ they want, they want you Marshall

They keep screamin' your name

It's no wonder you can't go to sleep, just take another ****

Yeah, I bet you you will, you rap about it

Yeah, word, k-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 *** on the ground, **** it

Put it to my brain, scream, "Die Shady" and *** it




The sky darkens, my life flashes

The plane that I was supposed to be on crashes and burns to ashes

That's when I wake up, alarm clock's ringin', there's birds singin'

It's spring and Haile's (25)______________ swinging




I walk right up to Kim and kiss her

Tell her I miss her, Haile just smiles

And winks at her little sister

Almost as if to say




And when I'm gone, just (26)__________ on, don't mourn

Rejoice every (27)________ you hear the sound of my voice

Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling

And I didn't 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 (28)________ the sound of my voice

Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling

And I didn't feel a thing

So baby don't feel no pain

Just smile back
