This is the lyrics to Dear Slim Part 1 by KJ-52

Dear Slim, I never wrote you or been calling
My name ain't Stan son nah we've never met and
My name's KJ let me begin by introducing now
Myself to you and these very reasons I'll be writing
Why I took my time the who what where and why and
The purpose of my verse and the reasons I'm reciting
What I hope your learning from the truth I pray your finding
And every word I'm writing down upon the dotted lines and
See I heard ya first album it was called infinite
I shook my head cause nowadays you sounding different
What drove ya to take your whole persona and be flipping it
Now what makes a man totally change see I ain't getting it
See was you sick of getting booed when you was ripping it
And sick of never having dough and you wanted to put an end to it
What good's all kinds of dough, plus all kinds of flow?
To gain a world of fans but suffer the loss of soul

[Chorus x4]
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la la (to whom it may concern)


Dear Slim I never wrote you or been calling
This is my 2nd letter cause see son I gots a real problem
It's that to you that I'm always catching these comparisons
And after shows I got these people coming up to me saying
You sound like Slim Shady son you sound like Eminem
And I be like now really man do I gots to go through this again
See I used to get mad and sick of people saying that
Till at this one show this one day I met this one cat
He told me how he used to listen to you but now listens to me
Had your LP but threw it out and bought my CD
I'm like "For real?" he's like "Yeah," said my music made a difference
It got him away from all your words and images
Gotta mention this now what about the effects you have on kids?
You ever stop to think about the millions you influence
Or is it just irrelevant is it a true life you telling it
Or just a way for some record companies selling it
The only thing we's got in common is our melanin
Or a lack of it but anyway now this is what I'm saying
Its for you that I'm on my knees now daily praying
Praying that God opens your eyes now to what I'm relaying
Now I'm praying that it's your heart that will soon be changing
Praying one day that you'll be calling upon his name and
But anyway I'm signing off now don't keep me waiting
This is KJ another cat just trying to make it

[Chorus]


Dear Slim I heard about the stuff you's going through
See I could relate to you cause son I'm about as old as you
See we both know what it's like just to be growing up to be in a neighborhood
When you's the one and only kid that's white
Or to get booed when you on the mic just because your skin is light
It ain't right but sometimes you know that's life
But really tell me what you do?
You just push on with hopes on that someday you'll put on your crew
I hope you understand that I ain't even dissing you
And even though it's a song you'll probably never listen to
See what I send to you is this
Is that a life without Christ is just a life that is never fixed
I hope you remember this now a few sentences
About a living God who loves you and plus forgives
And I'll be praying for your ex-wife and plus your kid
It's hard to live in a world as crazy as this one is
And even though now it really might sound redundant
God's got mad love for you up in a mad abundance
You'll sell a couple mill I'll probably sell a couple hundred
There's more to life than selling records and just getting blunted
But anyway that's really all I gots to say
Just another word from an emcee now around the way
Maybe some day we meet each other in some way
Till then one love one God one way

[Chorus]

This is the lyrics to Dear Slim Part 2 by KJ- 52

Dear Slim I wrote you but you aint calling
Its 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 to you
And it would change some lives
Kids with tears in they eyes now come up to me
Showing love to me and telling that they look up to me
The effects to me well its really kind of strange to see
I only wanted to share with you what Jesus done for me
But theres a whole another side of things now Ive come to see
Its a huge influence that you go upon the industry
But enough of me its not what I came to say to you
Not a day goes by where I dont take time to pray for you
And Im sorry for what ya mom and dad they did to you
But I can relate with you cause well see dude Ive been there too
I know theres a lot of pain and hurt now that you been through
But never forget theres a real love God gave for you

La la la la la (To whom it may concern)
La la la la la (Its still to whom it may concern)

Dear Slim I wrote you but ya still aint calling
Backstage at the VMAs someone gave you my song and
Im kind of wondering what ya thought man
When that guy walked up to ya talked to ya and put it in your hands
Maybe ya never listened to it or maybe ya lost it
Or maybe ya heard it ya just got mad and then ya tossed it
Did he diss you back thats the question that I always get
Im like well God forbid that ya might even have liked it
I dont know but congratulations on your movie yo
And I heard ya last record well its over 10 million sold
But theres one thing thats really got me thinking bro
Does a grammy mean anything if its just got to cost ya soul
In case ya didnt know theres a love that will never go away
You said you was going to hell but it dont have to be that way
See the bottom line of what Im trying to say is
God puts back together the broken pieces that been thrown away
Even if everyone you know just ups and goes away
Hell still love you till the very day that ya old and gray
Too bad a lot of Christians all they do is hate on you
Instead of dropping to they knees and taking time to pray for you
And its obvious that ya really love ya daughter dude
And for that I gotta tell ya well I really got respect for you
So here it is Dear Slim Part 2
From just another cat trying to make it just like you

Dear Slim did you hear the junk that Im going through
Kids sending me hate mail and telling me how Im biting you
Telling me how they gone beat me and just kill me too
But a lot of people they just seem to get the 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 wasnt about hating you or starting some controversy
It wasnt about blaming you or trying to make some money
I dont claim to know everything that youve experienced
Man I dont even know if youll even be hearing this
But I said it once and I still hold to this
Is that a life without Christ is still a life that is never fixed
Ill tell ya this even if its a hard pill to swallow
Like it or not Slim youre 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 had my share of sorrow plus man I been rejected
Ive been chewed up spit out and plus disrespected
But if I die today and I never sell another record
Jesus gave me more than I ever couldve been expecting
I know life is hectic it can leave ya blown away
But check it bro cause we all just gonna die some day
On that note well theres only one thing left to say
Its still one love one God and only one way

[Satire]

It's alright. That's all I have to say.
