Eminem (featuring Dido)-Stan lyrics

[Eminem as `Stan`]
  
 Dear Slim, I wrote  
 but you still ain`t callin
  
 I left my cell, my pager,  
 and my home phone at the bottom
  
 I sent two letters back in  
 autumn, you must not-a got `em
  
 There probably was a problem  
 at the post office or somethin
  
 Sometimes I scribble addresses too  
 sloppy when I jot `em
  
 but anyways; fuck it, what`s  
 been up? Man how`s your daughter?
  
 My girlfriend`s pregnant too, I`m  
 `bout to be a father
  
 If I have a daughter,  
 guess what I`ma call her?
  
 I`ma name her Bonnie
  
 I read about your  
 Uncle Ronnie too I`m sorry
  
 I had a friend kill himself  
 over some bitch who didn`t want him
  
 I know you probably hear this  
 everyday, but I`m your biggest fan
  
 I even got the underground  
 shit that you did with Skam
  
 I got a room full of  
 your posters and your pictures man
  
 I like the shit you did  
 with Rawkus too, that shit was phat
  
 Anyways, I hope you get  
 this man, hit me back,
  
 just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan
  
 This is Stan

 Dear Slim, you still ain`t called or  
 wrote, I hope you have a chance
  
 I ain`t mad - I just think  
 it`s FUCKED UP you don`t answer fans
  
 If you didn`t wanna talk  
 to me outside your concert
  
 you didn`t have to, but you  
 coulda signed an autograph for Matthew
  
 That`s my little brother man,  
 he`s only six years old
  
 We waited in the blistering cold for you,
  
 four hours and you just said, `No.`
  
 That`s pretty shitty man -  
 you`re like his fuckin idol
  
 He wants to be just like you  
 man, he likes you more than I do
  
 I ain`t that mad though, I  
 just don`t like bein lied to
  
 Remember when we met in Denver  
 - you said if I`d write you
  
 you would write back - see  
 I`m just like you in a way
  
 I never knew my father neither;
  
 he used to always cheat  
 on my mom and beat her
  
 I can relate to what  
 you`re saying in your songs
  
 so when I have a shitty day,  
 I drift away and put `em on
  
 cause I don`t really got shit else  
 so that shit helps when I`m depressed
  
 I even got a tattoo  
 of your name across the chest
  
 Sometimes I even cut myself  
 to see how much it bleeds
  
 It`s like adrenaline, the pain is  
 such a sudden rush for me
  
 See everything you say is real, and  
 I respect you cause you tell it
  
 My girlfriend`s jealous cause  
 I talk about you 24/7
  
 But she don`t know you like  
 I know you Slim, no one does
  
 She don`t know what it was  
 like for people like us growin up
  
 You gotta call me man, I`ll  
 be the biggest fan you`ll ever lose
  
 Sincerely yours, Stan -- P.S.
  
 We should be together too

 Dear Mister-I`m-Too-Good-To-Call-Or-Write-My-Fans,
  
 this`ll be the last package  
 I ever send your ass
  
 It`s been six months and still  
 no word - I don`t deserve it?
  
 I know you got my last two letters;
  
 I wrote the addresses on `em perfect
  
 So this is my cassette I`m  
 sending you, I hope you hear it
  
 I`m in the car right now,  
 I`m doing 90 on the freeway
  
 Hey Slim, I drank a fifth  
 of vodka, you dare me to drive?
  
 You know the song by Phil  
 Collins, `In the Air of the Night`
  
 about that guy who coulda  
 saved that other guy from drowning
  
 but didn`t, then Phil saw it all,  
 then at a a show he found him?
  
 That`s kinda how this is,  
 you coulda rescued me from drowning
  
 Now it`s too late - I`m  
 on a 1000 downers now, I`m drowsy
  
 and all I wanted was  
 a lousy letter or a call
  
 I hope you know I ripped  
 ALL of your pictures off the wall
  
 I love you Slim, we  
 coulda been together, think about it
  
 You ruined it now, I hope you  
 can`t sleep and you dream about it
  
 And when you dream I hope you  
 can`t sleep and you SCREAM about it
  
 I hope your conscience EATS AT  
 YOU and you can`t BREATHE without me
  
 See Slim; {*screaming*} Shut up  
 bitch! I`m tryin to talk!
  
 Hey Slim, that`s my  
 girlfriend screamin in the trunk
  
 but I didn`t slit her throat, I just  
 tied her up, see I ain`t like you
  
 cause if she suffocates she`ll suffer  
 more, and then she`ll die too
  
 Well, gotta go, I`m  
 almost at the bridge now
  
 Oh shit, I forgot, how`m I  
 supposed to send this shit out?
  
 {*car tires squeal*} {*CRASH*}
  
 {*brief silence*}
  
 {*LOUD splash*}

 Dear Stan, I meant to write  
 you sooner but I just been busy
  
 You said your girlfriend`s pregnant  
 now, how far along is she?
  
 Look, I`m really flattered you  
 would call your daughter that
  
 and here`s an autograph for your brother,
  
 I wrote it on the Starter cap
  
 I`m sorry I didn`t see you  
 at the show, I musta missed you
  
 Don`t think I did that  
 shit intentionally just to diss you
  
 But what`s this shit you said about  
 you like to cut your wrists too?
  
 I say that shit just clownin dogg,
  
 c`mon - how fucked up is you?
  
 You got some issues Stan,  
 I think you need some counselling
  
 to help your ass from bouncing off  
 the walls when you get down some
  
 And what`s this shit about  
 us meant to be together?
  
 That type of shit`ll make me  
 not want us to meet each other
  
 I really think you and  
 your girlfriend need each other
  
 or maybe you just  
 need to treat her better
  
 I hope you get to read this letter,  
 I just hope it reaches you in time
  
 before you hurt yourself, I think  
 that you`ll be doin` just fine
  
 if you relax a little,  
 I`m glad I inspire you,
  
 but Stan why are you so mad?
  
 Try to understand, that I  
 do want you as a fan
  
 I just don`t want you  
 to do some crazy shit
  
 I seen this one shit on the news  
 a couple weeks ago that made me sick
  
 Some dude was drunk and  
 drove his car over a bridge
  
 and had his girlfriend in the trunk,  
 and she was pregnant with his kid
  
 and in the car they found a tape,  
 but they didn`t say who it was to
  
 Come to think about, his  
 name was.. it was you
  
 Damn!
