[00:00.924]My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I
[00:04.333]Got out of bed at all
[00:06.820]The morning rain clouds up my window
[00:10.276]And I can't see at all
[00:12.857]And even if I could it'd all be gray
[00:16.247]But your picture on my wall
[00:18.867]It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad
[00:24.634]My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I
[00:27.963]Got out of bed at all
[00:30.452]The morning rain clouds up my window
[00:34.052]And I can't see at all
[00:36.496]And even if I could it'd all be gray
[00:39.884]But your picture on my wall
[00:42.467]It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad
[00:47.493]
[00:48.075]Dear Slim, I wrote you, but you still ain't callin'
[00:50.801]I left my cell, my pager and my home phone at the bottom
[00:53.770]I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not've got 'em
[00:56.667]There probably was a problem at the post office or somethin'
[00:59.411]Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em
[01:02.305]But anyways, **** it, what's been up, man? How's your daughter?
[01:05.443]My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm 'bout to be a father
[01:08.160]If I have a daughter, guess what I'ma call her?
[01:10.321]I'ma name her Bonnie
[01:11.735]I read about your Uncle Ronnie too, I'm sorry
[01:14.089]I had a friend kill himself over some bitch who didn't want him
[01:17.166]I know you probably hear this every day, but I'm your biggest fan
[01:20.198]I even got the underground shit that you did with Skam
[01:22.943]
[01:22.962]I got a room full of your posters and your pictures, man
[01:25.889]I like the shit you did with Rawkus too, that shit was phat
[01:28.971]Anyways, I hope you get this, man, hit me back
[01:31.529]Just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan, this is Stan
[01:34.713]
[01:35.522]My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I
[01:38.822]Got out of bed at all
[01:41.335]The morning rain clouds up my window
[01:45.037]And I can't see at all
[01:47.313]And even if I could it'd all be gray
[01:50.653]But your picture on my wall
[01:53.351]It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad
[01:58.254]
[01:58.574]Dear Slim, you still ain't called or wrote, I hope you have a chance
[02:01.914]I ain't mad, I just think it's ****ed up you don't answer fans
[02:04.658]If you didn't want to talk to me outside your concert, you didn't have to
[02:07.844]But you coulda signed an autograph for Matthew
[02:09.946]That's my little brother, man, he's only six years old
[02:12.521]We waited in the blisterin' cold
[02:13.880]For you, for four hours, and you just said no
[02:16.357]That's pretty shitty, man, you're like his ****in' idol
[02:18.852]He wants to be just like you, man, he likes you more than I do
[02:21.709]Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds
[02:24.373]It's like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me
[02:27.330]See, everything you say is real, and I respect you ‘cause you tell it
[02:30.210]My girlfriend's jealous 'cause I talk about you 24/7
[02:33.326]But she don't know you like I know you, Slim, no one does
[02:36.083]She don't know what it was like for people like us growin' up
[02:38.646]You gotta call me, man, I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose
[02:41.810]Sincerely yours, Stan—P.S. We should be together too
[02:45.471]Dear Mr. I'm-Too-Good-to-Call-or-Write-My-Fans
[02:48.249]This'll be the last package I ever send your ass
[02:50.795]It's been six months, and still no word—I don't deserve it?
[02:53.593]I know you got my last two letters, I wrote the addresses on 'em perfect
[02:57.041]So this is my cassette I'm sendin' you, I hope you hear it
[02:59.623]I'm in the car right now, I'm doin' 90 on the freeway
[03:02.565]I loved you, Slim, we coulda been together—think about it!
[03:05.599]You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it
[03:08.462]And when you dream I hope you can't sleep and you scream about it
[03:11.410]I hope your conscience eats at you and you can't breathe without me
[03:14.168]See, Slim—shut up, bitch! I'm tryin' to talk
[03:16.664]Hey, Slim, that's my girlfriend screamin' in the trunk
[03:19.005]But I didn't slit her throat, I just tied her up—see? I ain't like you
[03:22.291]Cause if she suffocates she'll suffer more and then she'll die too
[03:25.590]Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the bridge now
[03:28.155]Oh, shit, I forgot—how am I supposed to send this shit out?!
[03:31.812]
[03:44.613]Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner, but I've just been busy
[03:47.904]You said your girlfriend's pregnant now, how far along is she?
[03:51.042]Look, I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that
[03:53.418]And here's an autograph for your brother: I wrote it on your Starter cap
[03:56.444]I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I must have missed you
[03:59.731]Don't think I did that shit intentionally, just to diss you
[04:02.334]And what's this shit you said about you like to cut your wrists, too?
[04:05.291]I say that shit just clownin', dawg c'mon, how ****ed up is you?
[04:08.584]You got some issues, Stan, I think you need some counselin'
[04:11.282]To help your ass from bouncin' off the walls when you get down some
[04:14.424]And what's this shit about us meant to be together?
[04:16.781]That type of shit'll make me not want us to meet each other
[04:19.626]I really think you and your girlfriend need each other
[04:22.215]Or maybe you just need to treat her better
[04:24.226]I hope you get to read this letter
[04:25.957]I just hope it reaches you in time
[04:27.595]Before you hurt yourself, I think that you'll be doin' just fine
[04:30.664]If you'd relax a little, I'm glad that I inspire you, but, Stan
[04:34.047]Why are you so mad? Try to understand that I do want you as a fan
[04:37.996]I just don't want you to do some crazy shit
[04:40.103]I seen this one shit on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick
[04:43.708]Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge
[04:46.469]And had his girlfriend in the trunk and she was pregnant with his kid
[04:49.528]And in the car they found a tape, but it didn't say who it was to
[04:52.820]Come to think about it, his name was, it was you
[04:56.212]Damn!
