My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all |
The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all |
And even if I could it'll all be grey, but your picture on my wall |
It reminds me, that it's not so bad, it's not so bad |
My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all |
The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all |
And even if I could it'll all be gray, but your picture on my wall |
It reminds me, that it's not so bad, it's not so bad |
Dear Slim I wrote you, but you still ain't callin' |
I left my cell, my pager and my home phone at the bottom |
I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not've got em |
There probably was a problem at the post office or something |
Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em |
But anyways, fuck it, what's been up man, how's your daughter? |
My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm 'bout to be a father |
If I have a daughter, guess what I'mma call her? |
I'mma name her Bonnie |
I read about your Uncle Ronnie too, I'm sorry |
I had a friend kill himself over some bitch who didn't want him |
I know you probably hear this every day, but I'm 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 phat |
Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back |
Just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan, this is Stan |
My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all |

Dear Slim, you still ain't called or wrote; I hope you have a chance |
I ain't mad, I just think it's fucked up you don't answer fans |
If you didn't want to talk to me outside the concert |
You didn't have to, but you could've signed an autograph for Matthew |
That's my little brother man, he's only six years old |
We waited in the blistering cold for you |
For four hours and you just said no |
That's pretty shitty man, you're like his fucking idol |
He wants to be just like you, man, he likes you more than I do |
I ain't that mad though, I just don't like being lied to |
Remember when we met in Denver? |
You said if I'd write you, you would write back |
See, I'm 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 you're saying in your songs |
So when I have a shitty day, I drift away and put 'em on |
Cause I don't really got shit else |
So that shit helps when I'm depressed |
I even got a tattoo of your name across the chest |
Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds |
It's 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 girlfriend's jealous cause I talk about you 24/7 |
But she don't know you like I know you, Slim, no one does |
She don't know what it was like for people like us growing up |
You gotta call me, man, I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose |
Sincerely yours, Stan |
P.S. We should be together too |
My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all |

Dear Mr. I'm-Too-Good-to-Call-or-Write-My-Fans |
This'll be the last package I ever send your ass |
It's been six months and still no word, I don't deserve it? |
I know you got my last two letters |
I wrote the addresses on 'em perfect |
So this is my cassette I'm sending you, I hope you hear it |
I'm in the car right now, I'm 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 could've saved that other guy from drowning |
But didn't, then Phil saw it all, then at a a show he found him |
That's kinda how this is, you could've rescued me from drowning |
Now it's too late, I'm on a thousand downers now, I'm 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 loved you Slim, we could've been together, think about it |
You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it |
And when you dream |
I hope you can't sleep and you scream about it |
I hope your conscience eats at you |
And you can't breathe without me |
See, Slim, shut up bitch, I'm tryna talk |
Hey, Slim, that's my girlfriend screamin' in the trunk |
But I didn't slit her throat, I just tied her up, see I ain't like you |
Cause if she suffocates she'll suffer more and then she'll die too |
Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the bridge now |
Oh shit, I forgot, how am I supposed to send this shit out? |
My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all |
The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all |
And even if I could it'll all be gray, but your picture on my wall |
It reminds me, that it's not so bad, it's not so bad |
Dear, Stan, I meant to write you sooner but I just been busy |
You said your girlfriend's pregnant now, how far along is she? |
Look, I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that |
And here's an autograph for your brother |
I wrote it on a Starter cap |
I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I must've missed you |
Don't think I did that shit intentionally just to diss you |
But what's this shit you said about you like to cut your wrists too? |
I say that shit just clowning, dawg, come on, 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 what's this shit about us meant to be together? |
That type of shit'll 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 you'll be doing just fine |
If you relax a little, I'm glad I inspire you, but Stan |
Why are you so mad? |
Try to understand, that I do want you as a fan |
I just don't 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 didn't say who it was to |
Come to think about it, his name was... |
It was you. |
Damn! |
