Eminem ft. Dido - Stan
My teaʼs gone cold Iʼm wondering why i..
Got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window..
And I canʼt see at all
And even if I could itʼll all be gray,
But your picture on my wall
It reminds me, that itʼs not so bad,
Itʼs not so bad..
1st chorus: volume gradually grows over raindrop background
2nd chorus: full volume with beat right after thunder noise

Dear slim, I wrote but you still ainʼt 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 ʼem
There probably was a problem at the post office or somethin
Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot ʼem
But anyways; fuck it, whatʼs been up? man howʼs your daughter?
My girlfriendʼs pregnant too, Iʼm bout to be a father
If I have a daughter, guess what iʼma call her?
Iʼma name her bonnie
I read about your uncle ronnie too Iʼm sorry
I had a friend kill himself over some bitch who didnʼt want him
I know you probably hear this everyday, but Iʼm 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
[eminem as ʼstanʼ]
Dear slim, you still ainʼt called or wrote, I hope you have a chance
I ainʼt mad - I just think itʼs fucked up you donʼt answer fans
If you didnʼt wanna talk to me outside your concert
You didnʼt have to, but you coulda signed an autograph for matthew
Thatʼs my little brother man, heʼs only six years old
We waited in the blistering cold for you,
Four hours and you just said, no.
Thatʼs pretty shitty man - youʼre like his fuckin idol
He wants to be just like you man, he likes you more than I do
I ainʼt that mad though, I just donʼt like bein lied to
Remember when we met in denver - you said if Iʼd write you
You would write back - see Iʼm 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 youʼre saying in your songs
So when I have a shitty day, I drift away and put ʼem on
Cause I donʼt really got shit else so that shit helps when Iʼm depressed
I even got a tattoo of your name across the chest
Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds
Itʼs 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 girlfriendʼs jealous cause I talk about you 24/7
But she donʼt know you like I know you slim, no one does
She donʼt know what it was like for people like us growin up
You gotta call me man, Iʼll be the biggest fan youʼll ever lose
Sincerely yours, stan -- p.s.
We should be together too

Dear mister-iʼm-too-good-to-call-or-write-my-fans,
Thisʼll be the last package I ever send your ass
Itʼs been six months and still no word - I donʼt deserve it?
I know you got my last two letters;
I wrote the addresses on ʼem perfect
So this is my cassette Iʼm sending you, I hope you hear it
Iʼm in the car right now, Iʼm 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 didnʼt, then phil saw it all, then at a a show he found him?
Thatʼs kinda how this is, you coulda rescued me from drowning
Now itʼs too late - Iʼm on a 1000 downers now, Iʼm 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 canʼt sleep and you dream about it
And when you dream I hope you canʼt sleep and you scream about it
I hope your conscience eats at you and you canʼt breathe without me
See slim; shut up bitch! Iʼm tryin to talk!
Hey slim, thatʼs my girlfriend screamin in the trunk
But I didnʼt slit her throat, I just tied her up, see I ainʼt like you
Cause if she suffocates sheʼll suffer more, and then sheʼll die too
Well, gotta go, Iʼm almost at the bridge now
Oh shit, I forgot, howʼm I supposed to send this shit out?
.. ..

Dear stan, I meant to write you sooner but I just been busy
You said your girlfriendʼs pregnant now, how far along is she?
Look, Iʼm really flattered you would call your daughter that
And hereʼs an autograph for your brother,
I wrote it on the starter cap
Iʼm sorry I didnʼt see you at the show, I musta missed you
Donʼt think I did that shit intentionally just to diss you
But whatʼs this shit you said about you like to cut your wrists too?
I say that shit just clownin dogg,
Cʼmon - 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 whatʼs this shit about us meant to be together?
That type of shitʼll 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 youʼll be doin just fine
If you relax a little, Iʼm glad I inspire you but stan
Why are you so mad? try to understand, that I do want you as a fan
I just donʼt 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 didnʼt say who it was to
Come to think about, his name was.. it was you
Damn!
