Eminem talks about his death in heartbreaking new song with his daughter Hailie Jade

Eminem talks about his death in heartbreaking new song with his daughter Hailie Jade

Eminem made his fans “cry like a baby” after the rapper addressed his death in a new song he wrote for his daughter Hailie Jade.

The rapper released his highly anticipated studio album on Friday (July 12) and hip-hop fans have been analyzing the 19-track project ever since.

The record, titled “The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce),” promised to kill his alter ego Slim Shady once and for all.

We first got to know Slim in 1999 with the huge hit “My Name Is” and a year later with “The Real Slim Shady”.

As you probably know, the provocative character rocked a bleached blonde haircut and a “I don’t give a shit” attitude.

And throughout the new album, no one is safe, as Eminem takes aim at P Diddy and even his own children.

While most of the project features a rejuvenated Slim Shady, one track features Eminem making a heartbreaking confession to his daughter in the event of his death.

In “Temporary,” the father of three tries to calm Hailie by telling her that life after his death will be difficult, but it will be okay.

At the beginning of the track we hear an old recording of a conversation between young Eminem and Hailie when she was a child.

The introduction between the two reads: “A lot of people ask me if I’m afraid of death. The truth is that I think what scares me most is that I can’t say everything.”

“I want to tell you when I’m no longer here. So this song is for Hailie, in case that day comes

“Where is Hailie? Where is she? That’s not Hailie. Who is it?

“It’s a monster.”

He raps: “Take care of Eleana, Stevie and Uncle Nate / And, honey, be strong; I know I was your rock and I still am / Saying goodbye is never easy / Why are you crying? Just stop / Hailie, baby, dry your eyes, this ain’t forever.”

Fans have since taken to social media to say that “the title should have come with a warning.”

“I didn’t think I would cry today to Eminem’s new album but holy shit. I was rooting for the music until ‘Temporary’ came on and I just had to start crying holy shit. Such a beautiful song,” one person commented.

“Eminem’s song ‘Temporary’ is truly a tearjerker, man,” wrote a second.

A third wrote: “Why did you do that Eminem? You made me cry like a baby. ‘Temporary’ is so beautiful…”

The rapper has three children with his ex-wife Kim Scott: Hailie Jade Scott, Alaina Scott and Stevie Laine Scott.

Meanwhile, the 28-year-old recently married her partner Evan McClintock and her 51-year-old father wore a tuxedo, dark glasses and Nike Air Jordans to the wedding.

That day he also experienced a touching moment with Hailie.

Eminem – “Temporary” – full lyrics

Intro (Eminem and Hailie)

Many people ask me: “Am I afraid of death?”

The truth is, I think what scares me most

Is not able to say all things

I want to tell you when I’m no longer here

So this song is for Hailie, for the day, when that day comes

Where is Hailie? Where is she?

This is not Hailie (Hailie)

Who is it?

It’s a monster (Hailie)

Verse 1 (Skylar Grey, Hailie Jade and Eminem)

I waited all night for the sunrise

To drive away the dark sky

Damn, Monster (Hailie)

I’m not a baby monster, I’m the mommy monster (Hailie)

Oh (Eminem)

Sometimes all it takes is a new day

To get me into a better state of mind

Give me a kiss, monster, give me a kiss, muahhh, love you (Eminem)

I love you (Hailie)

Pre-Chorus (Skylar Grey)

If only I could fall asleep

I would be lost in a dream

But at the moment it is misery

And I just have to remember

Choir (Skylar Grey)

When a heart breaks, it is not broken forever

The pieces will grow back together

And in time I will be fine

The tears are temporary

Verse 2 (Eminem)

Yes, so Hailie Jade, I wrote you this song

To help you cope with life now that I’m gone

How should I start? I just want to say

Take care of Eleana, Stevie and Uncle Nate

And, darling, be strong; I know I was your rock and I still am

Saying goodbye is never easy

Why are you crying? Just stop

Hailie, baby, dry your eyes, this is not forever

Choir (Skylar Grey)

When a heart breaks, it is not broken forever

The pieces will grow back together

And in time I will be fine

The tears are temporary

Post-Chorus (Skylar Grey, Hailie and Eminem)

Daddy (Ooh) (Hailie)

What? (Ooh) (Eminem)

I had this as a little kid (Ooh) (Hailie)

Baby, are you okay? (Ooh)

Verse 3 (Eminem)

Yes, and you will get over me and move on

You can play my song on repeat

But don’t you dare shed a tear when I tell you?

“Stand up, little soldier”

The times when I held you

Jade, it’s going to be okay, baby, I’m here, hey

I’m watching you right now, baby; I swear

I will protect you, your guardian angel

As hard as it may be, the farewell is painful

And darling, the rain will still drive you crazy

You will stay strong, Hailie, just hold on

It won’t be long now. You have to keep going

And remember, it gets better

Because times heal and when a

Choir (Skylar Grey)

When a heart breaks, it is not broken forever

The pieces will grow back together

And in time I will be fine

The tears are temporary

The bad days get better

And we will laugh together

And tonight when I cry

The tears are temporary

Post-Chorus (Hailie, Eminem and Skylar Grey)

I know that big girl (Ooh) (Eminem)

And she’s really pretty (Ooh) (Eminem)

Do you know her name? (Eminem)

Hailie (Oh) (Hailie)

Hailie, how did you know? (Ooh) (Eminem)

Verse 4 (Eminem)

Yes, and if there are days when you want to lock yourself in your room and cry

Just think of how you and I as children

We drove to the studio and back

You were strapped into the back seat because you were my

Little buddy, yes, sweetie, I know it hurts

Bean, I wish your pain goes away

Remember, Hailie Jade, there will be rainy days

I promise you will get through and make it no matter what happens

Fuck it Jade, I’ll be honest, I knew you would take this the hardest

Darling, get up. I know it’s breaking your heart.

The hardest thing I’ve ever written

Dad (Hailie)

Hailie, honey, it’s okay if you let me go

Baby, I promise you

Choir (Skylar Grey)

When a heart breaks, it is not broken forever

The pieces will grow back together

And in time I will be fine

The tears are temporary

The bad days get better

And we will laugh together

And tonight when I cry

The tears are temporary

Post-Chorus (Hailie, Eminem and Skylar Grey)

What’s your favorite song? (Ooh) (Eminem)

My favorite song is my favorite song and your favorite song (Ooh) (Hailie)

My and your favorite song? (Eminem)

Right here (Hailie)

This is your favorite part, daddy (Ooh) (Hailie)

Outro (Hailie and Eminem)

And you took me in, bitch (Hailie)

I caught you swearing on tape (Eminem)

Can you hear? (Hailie)

Yep (Eminem)

No, bitch (Hailie)

No, what? (Eminem)

No, I said no, I said no, bitch (Hailie)

OK, don’t swear, don’t swear (Eminem)
