So "Encore" sucked. This song, from "Curtain Call" (the greatest hits or something), leaked out recently and I heard it on the radio. You can stream it on eminem.com.

It's actually a really good song (if you like Eminem, of course).

---------------------------------------

Yeh...
It's My Life...
In my own words, I guess..

[ Verse 1 ]

Have you ever loved someone so much, you'd give an arm for?
Not the expression, No ... literally give an arm for?
When they know they're your heart and you know your are their armor
And you will destroy anyone who would try and harm her
But what happens when karma, turns right around and bites you?
And everything you stand for turns on you to spite 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 find mommy where is she?
I don't know go play hailey baby, ya daddy's busy
Daddy's writing this song, this song ain't gonna write itself
I'll give you one underdog, then you gotta swing by yourself
Then turn right around on that song and tell her you love her
Then put hands of her mother who's a spitting image of her.
That's Slim Shady, Yeh baby Slim Shady's crazy
Shady made me, but tonight shady's rock-a-by baby

[ Chorus ] x2

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 ain't gonna feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain just smile back

[ Verse 2 ]

I keep having this dream, I'm pushing Hailey on the swings
She keeps screaming, she don't want me to sing
You're making mommy cry, Why? Why is mommy crying
Baby daddy ain't leaving no more, daddy you're lying
You always say that, you always say this is the last time
But you ain't leaving 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, noo stop it
Go's in her pocket, pulls out a tiny necklace locket
It's got a picture, This'll keep you safe daddy take it with ya
I look up, it's just me standing in the mirror
These fuckin (stinkin') walls must be talking cause man I can hear 'em.
They're saying "You've got one more chance to do right" and it's tonight
Now go out there and show that you love 'em before it's too late
And just as I go to walk out my bedroom door
It's turns to a stage, they're gone and this spotlight is on,
And I'm singing...

[ Chorus ]

[ Verse 3 ]

Sixty thousand people, all jumping out their seats
The curtain closes, they're throwing roses at my feet
I take a bow and thank you all for coming out
The scream is 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 wrists are bleeding
But baby we're in Sweden, how did you get to Sweden
I followed you daddy, you told me that you weren't leaving
You lied to me dad, and now you make mommy sad
And I bought you this coin, it says 'Number One Dad'
That's all I wanted, I just want to give you this coin
I get the point, fine me and mommy are going
But baby wait, It's too late dad you made the choice
Now go up there and show 'em that you love 'em more than us
That's what they want, they want you Marshall they keep screaming your name
It's no wonder you can't go to sleep, just take another pill
Yeh I bet you you will. You rap about it yeah, word, 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 gun on the ground, cock it
Put it to my brain and scream 'Die Shady!' and pop it
The sky darkens, My life flashes
The plane what I was supposed to be on crashes and burns to ashes
That's when I wake up, alarm clocks ringing, there's birds singing,
Its spring and Hailey's outside swinging, I walk up to Kim and kiss her.
Tell her I miss her
Hailey just smiles and winks at her little sister
Almost as if to say...

[ Chorus ] x2

[quote name='Scorch']yeaaaaah, I was trying to keep this legal though. torrent doesn't work anyway :p you should edit it out[/QUOTE]

what torrent?! :rofl:
 
Ripped off the title of a better song by phil ochs.

And I won't be laughing at the lies when I'm gone
And I can't question how or when or why when I'm gone
Can't live proud enough to die when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

I heard this the first day it was out on radio and grabbed it off the internet the same day,
I think its one of Eminem's best

Right, because the words used in the title are SO uncommon, and it's IMPOSSIBLE to use them in the same order. :roll:

If the title was something like....."When I am No Longer in This Location", I would probably agree.
 
good song, but if your going to release a greatest hits with a few extra tracks why do we have to get one about you and Hailey. I'm glad Em is all about his daughter, but this is something you would expect from Destiny's Child or Celine Dion.

There was a time in Eminem's career where, at that point, the song would turn into a violent song about butchering his wife (or mother)...

...I miss that Eminem.

This song falls apart in the third verse.
 
I hadn't heard it yet, I like it. He's pretty much stepping out of the spotlight to just spend time with his family, you gotta respect that.
