Open Letter Lyrics

Yeah

Dear, Dear, Dear

I know you're tired

Still got a long to way to go but

You done came a long, long way

From where you began

And I'm proud of you, I really am

You're on your way there homie

Don't stop now

Feel like I'm running out of time

Starting to see gray strands on my mom hair

Warming up cause I still ain't in my prime era

Hope one day I can tour the world

Spit all of my rhymes and

See bitches fall in line yeah

When that day comes, hope I don't cry

Reminiscing on the old times, oh my

Whole fam sleeping on the same bed

Break bread, but you ain't got to worry now

We'll get the dough ma

This beat was yelling use me

J.Cole please don't sue me

Cause I was just like you

A little boy who got into

This Hip Hop shit, he did

Fell in love and dreamed big

But then he grew

Running for the gold

The world untied his shoe

Got him on his knees

So much he begging please

But nobody would answer to his plea

He felt so weak

And learned all about life the hard way

Now do you understand why he is writing all day

Its cause they never got a car

Cause that bitch who broke his heart

And being so pussy lead to people

always stealing his part

Nah, they ain't ready

This is years of eating Mom's Spaghetti

Please hold back your tears

We ain't never switching gears

When I make it rain money on them like Confetti

Yeah, I'll be different by then

But I won't forget that little kid named Wyben

When I rap on stage and people scream my name

And momma drive a range, he'll be smiling by then

I know it's hard to stay focused

When you're still trying to be sober

The demons getting closer

But God turned my tongue into a sword

So I killed them, now angels whisper on both shoulders

And I don't know

I don't know what the future holds

But I'm thankful for today so

I'll just keep holding on

I'll just keep

Holding on

Holding on

Holding on

I guess I'll just keep holding on

Cause life is full of wonder

I'll just keep

Holding on

Holding on

Holding on

I guess I'll just keep holding on

Cause life it really matters

Yeah, I got some stories to tell

How now I believe in Heaven

Cause I have been through Hell

Brainwashed by the media, the lies that they tell

How I got addicted to all the ideas they sell

How getting bitches was the way to keep score

How you could get pussy for Chanel & Dior

How money is the thing

That makes the world revolve

How I wish we could take it back

and didn't evolve but

Change always has to take part

I hope you listen when I speak

And you speak from the heart

It'll never be easy but it won't always be hard

So get on & keep going homie

Reach for the stars

The whole world is your oyster

When you make it brother

Don't forget the boys sir

And don't forget the girls too

It's good to save money,

But don't forget to splurge too

Remind yourself to give back

If you don't get the urge to

Don't try to do it all at once

You ain't superman

Don't listen when they say you dumb

You ain't stupid man

When you want somethin' bad

And you give it all you have

And you get it, you'll be the one stooping man

And they'll come in right back

Sayin "Hey, I'm sorry I was stupid man"

I'm just saying, shit is crazy

Look, bout damn time we get this shit right

Free ourselves from the cage

Spread our wings and take flight

It could get dark but don't worry, I got light

It'll take time, just hold on through the night

And don't ask me anything cause

I don't know

I don't know what the future holds

But I'm thankful for today so

I guess I'll just keep

Holding on

Holding on

Holding on

I guess I'll just keep holding on

Cause life is full of wonder

I guess I'll just keep

Holding on

Holding on

Holding on

I guess I'll just keep holding on

Cause life it really matters

Yeah

La di da di da di da

Yeah fuck I can't sing for shit

Now they all fucking criticize me cause I can't sing

Fuck all y'all

2023
