[Chorus: Liz Rodrigues and Eminem] I build this castle, now we are trapped on the throne I'm sorry, we’re alone I wrote my chapter You'll turn the page when I'm gone I hope you’ll sing along This is your song I just want you to know that I ain't scared Whatever it takes to raise you, I'll be there I'm prepared to do whatever December 1st, 1995 This is your song
[Verse 1: Eminem] You'll be coming out of mommy's stomach soon I better do something quick if I'ma be able to support you I can barely support me But as long as you're healthy, that’s all that matters for the time being But obviously, assuming you will be, just thinking ahead I’ma make it if it kills me Let's see how far I can take it with this music I’m getting sick of chasing this illusion Sorry for sloppy writing, the pen in my hand's shaking, please excuse me Dad's a little nervous, but at the same time excited If I use this same energy while I'm saying rhymes and write ’em with the same passion and the same exact enthusiasm as I'm using in this letter maybe they can feel me as I'm Trying to build these castles out of sand, baby girl For you to sit on the throne, I got plans, baby girl Welcome to mom and dad's crazy world Love, daddy Maple flavored kisses, buttered pancakes, and syrup
[Chorus: ? and Eminem] I build this castle, now we are trapped on the throne I'm sorry, we're alone I wrote my chapter You'll turn the page when I'm gone I hope you'll sing along This is your song I just want you to know that I ain't scared Whatever it takes to raise you, I'll be there I'm prepared to do whatever December 1st, 1996
[Verse 2: Eminem] Dear Hailie You got your momma's personality, same eyes as I got Her beautiful smile, but you ears are the same size as mine are Sorry for that, a little minor mishap But you'll grow into 'em baby I'm on the grind now I'm doing little shows, open mics, all-nighters, and studios While I'm tryna keep the lights on Why does it seem like I'm so close to this dream, yet so far I just keep steering I'm gonna turn into someone I haven't the slightest clue what I'm gonna do if it falls through You took your first steps today, you'll probably walk soon My Infinite CD flopped, too many soft tunes They're talking bad about dad, it's ticking me off too Makes me feel like I don't belong or something Ooh, I think I might have just stumbled onto something new Got a prediction for the future, I'm hoping it's you Open this envelope when you're older and it holds true

[Verse 3: Eminem] Dear Hailie Now if you found these letters I guess I better try to explain A lot's happened in between 'em Since I rised to this fame I've said your name but always tried to hide your face This game is crazy, I wanted to claim my love for you but damn I never knew it'd be like this If I did I wouldn't have done it You ain't asked for none of this shit Now you're being punished? Things that should've been private with me and your mother is public I can't stomach that, take this fame back I don't want it I'll put out this last album then I'm done with it One-hundred percent finished Fed up with it, I'm hanging it up, fuck it! Excuse the cursing, baby, just know That I'm a good person, though they portray me as cold And, if things should worsen, take this letter I wrote as a goodbye note Because your dad's at the end of his rope I'm sliding down a slippery slope Anyways sweetie, I better go, I'm getting sleepy Love dad Shit, I don't knowTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
