Album: It's Pronounced "Five Two" (2003)

Dear Slim Part-2

Dear slim i wrote you but you aint callen
its been a couple years now since i wrote that song en
alot has changed now for you and I
I had no clue that I would write a song for you and
it would change some lives
Kids with tears in the eyes
they now come up to me
showing love to me
and telling me that they look up to me
The effects to me well
were really kinda strange to see
I only wanted to share with you now
Jesus done for me
but theres a whole nother side to things now
that I come to see
Its a huge influence you got upon on the industry
but enough of me
cause its not what i came to say to you
not a day goes by while i take time to pray for you
sorry now for what your mom and dad
what they did to you
but i can relate with you
cause well see dude i've been there too
I know theres a lot of pain and hurt
now that you've been through
but never forget theres a real love that god gave to you


Yo dear slim i wrote you and you still aint callen
backstage at the VMAs someone gave you my song and
I kinda wonderen what you thought man
Or when that guy walked up to you
and talked to you and put it in your hands
Maybe you never listen to it or
maybe you lost it
or maybe you heard it and you just got mad
and then you tossed it
did he hits you back
thats the question i always get
Im like well god for bide you might even have liked it
I dont know but
congratulations on your movie yo and
Heard your last record well ova ten million sold
but theres one thing that gots me thinkin bro
does the grammy mean anything if its just gotta cost yo' soul
In case you didnt know theres a lovin that will never go away
you say your goin to hell but it dont have to be that way
see the bottom line of what im tryin to say is
god puts back the broken pieces
that were thrown away
If even everyone you know
just up and goes away
he'll still love you till the very day
that your of that old and gray
to bad alot of Christians all they do is hate on you
instead of droppen on their knees
and taken time to pray for you
its obvious that you really love your daughter dude
for that i gotta tell you well I really got respect for you
so here it is dear slim chapter part 2
another cat trying to make it just like you

Yo dear slim did you hear the junk that im goin through
Kids sending me hate mail and telling me
how im fighting you
telling me how they gonna beat me up and just kill me too
but alot of people they just seem to get my 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 haten or spunten some controversy
it wasn't about blamen you or tryin' to make some money na
i don't claim to know everything that you've experienced
man I don't even know if u even ever be hearin' this
but i said it once and i still hold it is
is that a life with out Christ is still a life that is never fixed
ill tell you this even if its a hard pill to swallow
like it or not slim your gonna always be a role model
do you know these kids were the ones they always follow
what we say and how we live gives them a better tomorrow
I've had my share of some plus man I've been rejected
I've been chewed up, spit out, and cussed disrespected
but if i die today and never sell another record
Jesus gave me more than i ever could of been expected
i know life is hectic it can leave you blowin away
but check it bro cause we just gonna die someday
and on that note well theres only one thing still left to say
theres still one love and one god and only one way
