| 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 for you and
|
| It would change some lives
|
| Kids with tears in their 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
|
| It’s really kinda strange to see
|
| I only wanted to share with you now
|
| What Jesus done for me
|
| But there’s a whole 'nother side to things now
|
| That I come to see
|
| It’s a huge influence you got upon on the industry
|
| But enough of me
|
| Cause it’s not what I came to say to you
|
| Not a day goes by where I take time to pray for you
|
| I’m sorry now for what your 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’ve been through
|
| But never forget there’s a real love God gave to you
|
| La la la la la la la la

| To whom it may concern
|
| La la la la la la la la
|
| La la la la la la la la la

| Still, to whom it may concern

|
| Dear Slim, I wrote you but you still ain’t calling
|
| Backstage at the VMA’s someone gave you my song and
|
| I’m kinda wondering 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 diss you back?»
|
| That’s the question I always get
|
| And I’m like, «Well, God forbid that you might even have liked it.»
|
| I don’t know but
|
| Congratulations on your movie yo and
|
| Heard your last record well, it’s over ten million sold
|
| But there’s one thing that’s really got me thinking bro
|
| Does a Grammy mean anything if it’s just gotta cost your soul?
|
| In case you didn’t know, there’s a love that will never go away
|
| You say you’re 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 are were thrown away
|
| If even everyone you know
|
| Just up and goes away
|
| He’ll still love you till the very day
|
| That you’re old and gray
|
| Too bad a lot of Christians all they do is hate on you
|
| Instead of dropping to their knees
|
| And taking time to pray for you
|
| And it’s obvious that you really love your daughter dude
|
| And 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 I’m going through
|
| Kids sending me hate mail and telling me
|
| How I’m biting you
|
| Telling me how they gonna beat me up and just kill me too
|
| But a lot 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 has 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 even ever be hearing this
|
| But I said it once and I still hold to this
|
| Is that a life with out Christ is still a life that is never fixed
|
| I’ll tell you this even if it’s a hard pill to swallow
|
| Like it or not Slim, you will 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’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 blown away
|
| But check it bro cause we all just gonna die someday
|
| And on that note, well, there’s only one thing left to say
|
| There’s still one love and one god and only one way
