Dear Slim, I wrote you but you still ain't calling
Dear Slim, I wrote to you but you didn't reply
I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom
I left my address, name and phone number at the end of the letter
I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not-a got 'em
I sent two letters in the fall and you definitely didn’t receive them
There probably was a problem at the post office or something
Maybe there was a mistake at the post office or something
>Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em

About that guy who coulda saved that other guy from drowning
It's about one person who can save another person who fell into the water
But didn't, then Phil saw it all, then at a show he found him?
But The guy didn't rescue but Phil saw the whole incident and the ghost of the drowning man came to him during a performance
That's kinda how this is, you coulda rescued me from drowning
That's kind of like our situation where you could have saved me
Now it's too late - I'm on a 1000 downers now, I'm drowsy

' Cause if she suffocates she'll suffer more, and then she'll die, too
Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the bridge now
Okay, it's time to hang up, I'm already on the bridge
Oh *******t, I forgot, how 'm I supposed to send this *******t out?this *******t out..
Oh shit I forgot how I could send the tape out
I am non-white.You know, and this is predominant when with like music
I am a black man and you know that this is not an advantage in music
You know, and people telling me that you don't belong...
You also know, and people telling me that you don't belong...
Like , you will not succeed because of your this color
This is certain right, but they do see the same things that I am singing.
That's the point But they saw I was singing the same thing
And I don't hear no o
ne say anything about that
But I didn’t hear anyone talk about that

Creative background
Song by Written by Eminem and produced by The 45 King, the chorus is taken from Dido's song "Thank You". One day, The 45 King saw the song "Thank You" on TV and recorded the first part of the song.
Then, The 45 King sent the demo tape to Eminem. A few days later, The 45 King wrote to Dido asking her to allow Eminem to sample her song.
In the song, Eminem tells the story of a fan who died for himself. Eminem wants to use this to warn fans to distinguish between fiction and reality in his songs. In the song, Stan's lyrics "I drank a fifth of vodka, dare me to drive?" are derived from Eminem's song "My Name Is".
