When I'm Gone-Eminem

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 you were their armour
And you will destroy anyone who would try to 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 her 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 Hailie, baby, your Daddy's busy
Daddy's writing a song, this song ain't gonna write itself
I'll give you one underdog then you gotta swing by yourself
Then turn right around in that song and tell her you love her
And put hands on her mother, who's a spitting image of her
That's Slim Shady, yeah baby, Slim Shady's crazyShady made me, but tonight Shady's rocka-by-baby
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 didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel my pain
Just smile back
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 didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
Just smile back...

This song is talking about how a father loves his daughter so much that he is willing to give up everything for her. But what happens when he become the source of her pain? Even though he loves his daughter a lot. This song also questions: What happens when karma turns around and bites you, or in other words, what happens when what goes around comes around? The song emphasizes that when the father leaves for his world tour, his daughter should not mourn over the loss, but be happy to hear the sound of his voice. This will make more sense once you watch the video...

  4. This is a good song, Eminem's songs are pretty much the only rap songs that have actual meaning in life, it seems like.
