Yeah...
It's my life...
My own words I guess...

Jake had another day of hunting.

Have you ever loved someone so much, you'd give an arm for?
Not the expression, no, literally give an arm for?

A small girl by the age of five named Grace had ran up to her dad.

When they know they're your heart
And you know you were their Armour
And you will destroy anyone who would try to harm 'her

"Daddy daddy! Where you going?"

But what happens when karma, turns right around and bites you?
And everything you stand for, turns on you to spite you?
What happens when you become the main source of her pain?

"Daddy look!" She exclaimed.
"Daddy's got to go to a hunting party Grace." Jake said.
"Oh" was all she said then she walked away.

"Daddy look what I made", Dad's gotta go catch a plane
"Daddy where's Mommy? I can't find Mommy where is she?"
I don't know go play Hailie, baby, your Daddy's busy
Daddy's writing a song, this song ain't gonna write itself

"Daddy stay and play with me." Grace said while tugging at his tail.
"I can't baby. Daddy's gotta go, go play with your friends."

I'll give you one underdog then you gotta swing by yourself
Then turn right around in that song and tell her you love her
And put hands on her mother, who's a spitting image of her
That's Slim Shady, yeah baby, Slim Shady's crazy
Shady made me, but tonight Shady's rocka-by-baby...

And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel my pain
Just smile back

It was late. After dinner he had gone to bed he had a long day. Tomorrow he had to get to another clan to make peace just in case.

Jake wanted to play with his daughters but he never had the time. He feels bad.

I keep having this dream, I'm pushin' Hailie on the swing
She keeps screaming, she don't want me to sing
"You're making Mommy cry, why? Why is Mommy crying?"
Baby, Daddy ain't leaving no more, "Daddy you're lying
"You always say that, you always say this is the last time
"But you ain't leaving no more, Daddy you're mine"

"Daddy, why do always leave everyday?" She asked.
"Daddy why? You make momma,sissy and me cry when you gone."

She's piling boxes in front of the door trying to block it
"Daddy please, Daddy don't leave, Daddy - no stop it!"

As Jake walked to his Direhorse, he felt someone clinging to his left leg.
"Daddy don't go!" She cried. Jake picks her up in his arms then sets her down.
"Daddy wait." She said. She grabbed her leather satchel and pulled out a necklace.
"Daddy daddy take it with ya, it'll keep you safe from danger" he takes it then kissed her forehead.

Goes in her pocket, pulls out a tiny necklace locket
It's got a picture, "this'll keep you safe Daddy, take it withcha'"

Jake felt a tug at his heart. He knew his daughter thought he didn't love her and didn't want anything to do with her. That's not true, he wanted to play with her, hold her in his arms, and kiss her cheek.
"Daddy's got to go" Jake said.
"Bye bye daddy." she walked away and played with her little sister and friends.

I look up, it's just me standing in the mirror
These fuckin' walls must be talking, cuz man I can hear 'em
They're saying "You've got one more chance to do right" - and it's tonight

Jake had heard voices in his head. He had to make it work with this clan. Although, Jake needs to show his family how much he loves them even though he can't right now.

Now go out there and show that you love 'em before it's too late
And just as I go to walk out of my bedroom door
It's turns to a stage, they're gone, and this spotlight is on
And I'm singing...

Jake speaks with the clan leader of the Tipani clan leader: Tsahik Sanumë. The one thing he didn't notice is that people were gathering around them.

Grace followed her father. She was always unnoticeable. She was as quiet as a stalking Palulukan. She knew she was going to get in trouble.

She saw Sanumë gives her speach to the clan. Jake saw all the little children look at him with coriousity.

Sixty thousand people, all jumping out their seat
The curtain closes, they're throwing roses at my feet

Grace watched at a distance as he saw her dad telling children stories.

I take a bow and thank you all for coming out
They're screaming so loud, I take one last look at the crowd

She steps out, Jake sees her.
"I was right daddy."

I glance down, I don't believe what I'm seeing
"Daddy it's me, help Mommy, her wrists are bleeding,"
But baby we're in Sweden, how did you get to Sweden?

"Baby girl, how'd you get here. This is very far. The Tipani clan."
"I followed you." she said. "You lied you keep going. You say you gonna play with me but never do."

"I followed you Daddy, you told me that you weren't leavin'
"You lied to me Dad, and now you make Mommy sad."

Jake steps over to his daughter, but she steps back.
"You have a choice daddy, either stay home give your role of Olo'eyktan to some warrior or lose me, sissy, and mommy. Which."

"And I bought you this coin, it says 'Number One Dad. That's all I wanted, I just want to give you this coin"
"I get the point - fine, me and Mommy are going"

What she had said hit him pretty hard. Before he spoke she said.
"I know the answer daddy. Show them you would prefer them than us."

But baby wait, "it's too late Dad, you made the choice
"Now go out there and show 'em that you love 'em more than us"

"They want you Jake, you don't care about us I know you don't." Jake was shocked. She had never used his name. "You hear them callin' out for you. We are leaving." Grace had then ran into the underbrush tears forming in her eyes rolling down her cheeks.

That's what they want, they want you Marshall, they keep.. screamin' your name
It's no wonder you can't go to sleep, just take another pill
Yeah, I bet you will. You rap about it, yeah, word, k-keep it real

Jake couldn't see that he put his family in this pain. How could he not have known this?

I hear applause, all this time I couldn't see
How could it be, that the curtain is closing on me

Jake had to make it right. He gathered his warriors and left the Tipani clan that night.

I turn around, find a gun on the ground, cock it
Put it to my brain and scream "die Shady" and pop it

This was one day to show his family how much he loved them.

The sky darkens, my life flashes, the plane that I was supposed to be on crashes and burns to ashes
That's when I wake up, alarm clock's ringin', there's birds singin'
It's Spring and Hailie's outside swinging, I walk right up to Kim and kiss her

Jake sees Neytiri smiling. He goes up to her and kisses her. He played with them all day. Grace loved her dad.
"Daddy, I forgive you." Grace says. Her daddy smiles at her. Grace looked at her little sister who smiled and laughed.

Tell her I miss her, Hailie just smiles and winks at her little sister
Almost as if to say..

Jake was able to show his love for his family.

Jake knew being Olo'eyktan was a hard task.

Jake also knew he needed time with his family and time to be Olo'eyktan. He let them suffer in pain and he couldn't see. Now he's going to make it right.

Hope you enjoyed.
