Baby, Daddy ain't leaving more, "Daddy you're lying "You always that, you always say this is the last time "But you ain't leaving no more, you're mine" She's piling boxes in front of the door trying to block please, Daddy don't leave, Daddy - no stop it!" Goes in her pocket, pulls a tiny necklace locket It's got a picture, "this'll keep safe Daddy, take it withcha'" I look up, it's just me standing the mirror These fuckin' walls must be cuz man I can hear 'em They're saying "You've got one more chance do right" - and it's tonight Now go out and show that you love 'em before it's too late And just as I go to walk out of bedroom door It's turns to a stage, they're gone, and spotlight is on And I'm singing...

[Verse 3] Sixty thousand people, jumping out their seat The curtain closes, they're throwing at my feet take a bow and thank you all for coming out They're screaming so loud, I take one look at the crowd I glance down, I don't believe what I'm "Daddy it's me, Mommy, her wrists are bleeding," But baby we're in Sweden, how did get to Sweden? "I followed you Daddy, you told me you weren't leavin' "You lied to me and now you make Mommy sad "And I bought this coin, it says 'Number One Dad' "That's all I wanted, I just want to give this coin "I get the point - fine, me and Mommy are But baby wait, "it's too late Dad, made the choice go out there and show 'em that you love 'em more than us" That's what they want, they want you they keep.. screamin' your name It's no wonder you can't go to sleep, take another pill Yeah, I bet you will. You rap about it, yeah, word, k-keep it real I hear applause, all this time couldn't see How could it be, the curtain is closing on me I turn around, a gun on the ground, cock it it to my brain and scream "die Shady" and pop it The sky my life flashes, the plane that I was supposed to be on crashes and burns to ashes That's when I wake alarm clock's ringin', there's birds singin' It's Spring and Hailie's outside swinging, I walk right up to Kim kiss her Tell her miss her, Hailie smiles and winks at her little sister Almost as to say.. [Chorus/Outro] And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't every time you hear the sound of my voice Just know I'm looking down on you smiling And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't no pain Just smile back And I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear the of my voice know that I'm looking down on you smiling And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no Just smile back...
