On that track, Eminem raps about what Hailie’s life could be like after he dies.
“Yeah, and you will get over me and move on,” the lyrics go. “You can play me on repeat on a song / But don’t you dare shed a tear, what’d I tell you? / ‘Straighten up, little soldier,’ them times when I held you / Jade, it’ll be okay, baby, I’m here, hey / I’m watching you right now, baby girl, I vow / I will protect you, your guardian angel.”
Hailie, one of Eminem’s and ex-wife Kim Scott‘s three children, continued, “Watching the video back and listening to the songs, I feel like my parents did such a good job. Growing up, where I didn’t realize how bad things were, but now as an adult, in hindsight, it’s so scary to think about. I think that’s why I get emotional so much, just thinking that that could have happened.”
Hailie said that while it was fun to see clips of herself and her siblings when they were younger in their dad’s music videos, she still gets emotional listening to his music at times.
“The older I get,” she said, “the less I can listen to any of the songs.”
