Note to Self Lyrics

May this letter remain planted

Until its originator is ready to grow

Sincerely, Seydou

Could it be?

Traveled on this dark road

Trouble follows me, ain't no stopping so I flee

Stumbled in a place I know

Walked up to a tree that showed me more beyond the green

Found a letter I wrote so long ago

Had to honor what I wrote

Shocked to see at what my past just had to say to me

Believe, young king, I wish thee well

Go protect your peace, don't repeat that hell you once lived

Know this the time you own it

Show them folks you won't go unnoticed

Focus, energy, and emotions

On the path the gods have chosen

You avoid commotion, ain't about no gloating

But you gotta make noise to show them that ya go in

Go ahead, make that impact

For those that's just not sure how to fight back

Up to you to lead, that's big facts

But you see that as a big setback

Probably gotta be annoying on the mental

Look to the stars, no signs with a clear view

Quit faking your smiles, you know what you go through

Avoiding expressing to people that know you

Helped you to grow to a king that is hopeful

Yet battles they broke you

Few sought to consult you

Can't figure your virtue whats worse in yo face is

Knowing that it's all true, boy, yet you choose to

Go ahead, run away

Be about your way

Who cares what they say

Nah man, don't play

You can focus on the tarnish that brings damage on your brain

Or You can stand on your hardships

That made me write this to say

You are the man

Forget the ones that kept on knocking

Knowing that you on one

Stay humble, never flaunt it

Cause it ain't about the size of the castle that you bought

It's about the strides you made

With all the battles that you fought

Do more than what a squire does

Go lift up who admires ya

Chill out young king

Got plenty of time ahead

Don't try to rush

Do this for your family

You know they watching you

Do this for your queen

She's staying close to you

Do this for your people

You know they cheering, fool

But do this for yourself

So you can see it too

Had to honor what I wrote

Glad to see that what my past just had to say to me

Back to my kingdom I go

Found some peace that gave a sense of security

When I get back, I know

I'll be better than before

Cause I believed in who I'd be a long time ago

Found a letter a wrote
