Aiyana's Letter Lyrics

Yeah

Thoughts runnin' through my mind, while ya moms in labor

Got my baby girl, I wonder how I'm about to raise her

Need to be patient, some traits could still develop later

Try not to chastise, but instead I need to educate her

Teach her peace, and above all to love all

Keep that head high when its seemin' that it's all lost

No matter what you keep chuggin' along at all costs

And when you meet people, learn to cherish that small talk

Because you never know when that persons time is up

That could be the last moment that you spendin' time with us

But in this day of age, it's gettin' hard to say who gonna make and who won't because the times is tough

And if for some reason, somethin' was to happen to me

I hope our moments everlastin' like I imagined they'd be

Can't help but think about the times when we was rationin' feasts

And had to survive off of natural heat, barely lasted a week

You're just a toddler, I don't expect you to understand

But daddy's always gon try to be here to hold your hand

There's things that I can't pass along, I know mother can

And she's been the one of the few to stick around while the others ran

And life will surely get tougher the more you come of age

There's no doubt there will be obstacles that you'll need to face

Don't be afraid, I've learned the tricks of the trade

For all the lessons I've endured I plan to fill up every page

When I write my story, but pray one day you get to hear it

I don't want you to end up being another broken spirit

Graduation day I can't wait to make an appearance

So I can embarrass you, that's the job of a caring parent

And ima be here through the thick and thin

To give you that life I'm envisionin'

Introduce you to Cole so that you know it's a cold world we been livin' in

And he's the reason your daddy keeps scribblin'

If there's one last thing to say, it's that I'm proud to be your dad

I apologize in advance for the times ima make you mad

My entire plan is to give you somethin' I never had

And make sure you don't make the same mistakes I've made in the past

My goal in life is just to see you better than me

Now wouldn't that be a splendid relief

This is something that's constantly on my mind and been pestering me

So I hope you know this is a letter to keep

A letter to keep

A letter to keep

This is a letter to keep

Letter to keep

A letter to keep
