Eminem Lyrics
"Stan"
(feat.
Dido)
[Chorus: Dido]
My
tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I..
got out of bed at all
The morning
rain clouds up my window..
and I can't see at all
And even if I could it'll
all be gray,
but your picture on my wall
It reminds me, that it's not so
bad,
it's not so bad..
[1st Chorus: volume gradually
grows over raindrop background]
[2nd Chorus: full volume with beat right after
"thunder" noise]
[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 fat
Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back,
just
to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan
This is Stan
[Chorus:
Dido]
[Eminem as '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
[Chorus:
Dido]
[Eminem as 'Stan']
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*]
[Chorus:
Dido]
[Eminem]
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 counseling
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!
