KJ-52 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yo! I woke up late it was like 10 in the mornin
I was still half asleep and sleepy eyed, still yawnin'
I checked my voice mail to see who'd been callin
I turned on my computer
Checked my email logged on it
junk mail, junk mail dog-on-it
Everybody just tryin to sell me they product
It said suicidal, took the mouse and clicked onit
She said,"Dear KJ, you don't know who I am,
you probably don't care 'cause I'm just another fan
I doubt you ever read this, now but if you can
Sometimes I slash my wrists and even cut my hands
And I feel all alone like nobody understands
And I'm gonna end it tonight I got the whole thing planned
Pop pills, leave a note on my night stand
Signed sincerly, Your Number One Fan
[Chorus]
Can someone now please help me?

Yo! This is what happened
Hey, listen to my story
Yo! I woke up late it was like 10 in the mornin
I woke up later than usual, at around 10am
I was still half asleep and sleepy eyed, still yawnin'
I was still sleepy and not completely awake yet, yawning a lot
I checked my voice mail to see who'd been callin
I checked my voicemail to see who had left me a message
I turned on my computer
I started my computer
Checked my email logged on it
I checked my email by logging in
junk mail, junk mail dog-on-it
I had a lot of spam mail
Everybody just tryin to sell me they product
People were trying to sell me things
But there was one email that cought my optic
But one email caught my attention
It said suicidal, took the mouse and clicked onit
The email had a subject about suicide, so I clicked on it
She said,"Dear KJ, you don't know who I am,
The email was from a woman who addressed me as KJ and said I didn't know her
you probably don't care 'cause I'm just another fan
She thought I didn't care about her because she was just a fan
I doubt you ever read this, now but if you can
She didn't believe I would read her email, but asked me to if I could
Sometimes I slash my wrists and even cut my hands
She sometimes cut herself in harmful ways
And I feel all alone like nobody understands
She felt lonely and misunderstood
And I'm gonna end it tonight I got the whole thing planned
She planned to end her life that night
Pop pills, leave a note on my night stand
She was going to take pills and leave a note on her nightstand
Signed sincerly, Your Number One Fan
She signed the email sincerely and called herself my number one fan
[Chorus]
Can someone now please help me?
The chorus is a plea for help in response to the woman's email
