LETTERS TO MYSELF Lyrics

Baby boy lemme talk to you

You're gonna go on and do great things

You're gonna fill the world with laughter and smiles

Take advantage of what this life brings

My young king nobody said that it would be easy

It may even tug on your heartstrings

But no matter what obstacles get up in the way

Don't let nobody clip your wings

The kids won't be nice, your schools just won't help

To get things done gon have to do it yourself

You'll spend many teary eyed nights, staring at the ceiling

But you'll have more knowledge than the books on your shelf

There won't be any handouts nothing will come naturally

Dreams so high but get pulled down from the gravity

And casually you'll pass up making new friends

Just so you can zone out from the world and live inside your fantasy

Even when down the bigger kids will push and shove

When you finally stand back up your goals flying away up with the doves

But keep that chin up high cause you'll forever be above

And that your biggest flex will always be returning with love

Lace up your gloves, this a fight you can win

And what you will accomplish gonna make your mind spin

Remain hungry, remain humble

This is only the intro, now your story begins

Wanna deliver these letters to myself

To keep the tears on my face from burnin (face from burnin)

Maybe this message would help my past self

As a man I keep on learnin (keep on learnin)

Show that I'm deservin (Yeah I'm deservin)

With everything I'm earnin (With everything I'm earnin)

And that my world gone keep on turnin

My young man, lemme spit some game to you

Early 20s gone be far from easy

For every hundred days, you may have one good one

The future is foggy and hard to see

Catch a wind of momentum feel on top of the world

Reality gone knock you to your knees

Gonna wanna give in throw that towel early on

But keep pushin buddy I beg you please

They say nobody been through it, until your pockets are empty

It builds character so you gon experience this plenty

Should win an Emmy, for the smile behind a broke down soul

This is gonna be the face of your entire twenties

You'll put a friendly vibe out, tell everyone your fine

But the thought of tomorrow put chills right down your spine

Stay focused when you notice that your world declines

Because after every storm you know the sun gon shine

So you can stop restlessly lookin for signs

Step over adversity yeah these things don't grow on vines

Plant your foot down so you can go take what's yours

Look into that mirror and say the world gon be mine

Don't let hard times make your mind rot and spoil

Much more life to live then to join your loved ones in the soil

Remain hungry, remain humble

This is only the intro, now the story begins

Wanna deliver these letters to myself

To keep the tears on my face from burnin (face from burnin)

Maybe this message would help my past self

As a man I keep on learnin (keep on learnin)

Show that I'm deservin (Yeah I'm deservin)

With everything I'm earnin (With everything I'm earnin)

And that my world gone keep on turnin
