Letter From Nelly Lyrics

Letter to my son that's what Nelly wrote

That shit rewinding back he lost all his hope

Raised by his grandparents cuz his dukes was Too young

Never could face his problems so he was Always on the run

Around the wrong crowd around hella guns

He knew it wasn't right but he ain't wanna be No punk

Skipping school at 15 in the streets living Rough

Shit only got worst the first time he got Jumped

Nelly loved to fight

Built in anger Make em go berserk

Back in forth from crib to crib kicked out

Cuz he ain't go to work

Fights wit his momma dude fucked him up

Cuz she chose him first

Cuz she like

He said fuck it and moved to Cali

Finished high school

Everybody missed him proudly

Had a lil brother Ik he look up to him

Nelly thought bout moving back

But he like ion want nun around me

Eventually he moved back

Nelly Got a job Ig he knew how to act

Tried not to cause problems

But still big on respect

Anybody play wit him he'll put it to they neck

Let him calm down his lil boy otw

His baby momma had problems

Tried to keep him away

Fighting custody

Now they do the weekend thing

Nelly fighting demons

He can feel it in his brain

His lil brother see it all

Only knowledge he can gain

Is don't be like him

Better learn from mistakes

Nelly living in a cycle

Constantly Feel betrayed

Taking knives out his back

So Yk he ran away

On the road different bitch

My boy going state to state

Left his son behind

But his lil brother got him straight

Try to keep in touch

But it's mainly on holidays

5 years later figured out he rappin

And doing his thing

Talented as fuck

them hoop dreams went down the drain

They not so much different

Cuz fighting was the common thing

Blocked hella blessings

But only more blessings came

Until you outta luck

And they take you out the game

Sitting in a cell

wishing what i would've changed

Thinking to yourself

To the table what you bring

Letter to my son that's what nelly wrote

Grow up to be a leader

Neva follow behind a joke

Take care your gma

Cuz for her I'd do the most

Be the best that you can be

And never lose hope
