MY LETTER TO YOU Lyrics

(This is my letter to you)

(All that I put you through)

(This is my letter to you)

I kept you up all night long

Got you thinking like where you went wrong

When I left the house you ain't know if I'll come back

Damn you was so strong

I was so gone I was so reckless

I was so young I was so dumb

Cops at the house and they break down the door

I go on the run

You told me you could be whatever you want

What I want to do I just wanna sell drugs

I want to be gangster I'm hanging with thugs

I want to shoot shit I'm playing with guns

Dropped out of school it ain't fun

I'm filling up smoke in my lungs

You said get in that car I'ma take you to class

I walked in the front out the back

You getting phone calls like where is he at

FBI at the crib men in all black

You're heart it be pounding just want to collapse

When you was in school you was star of the track

But I ain't running in no field

I'm running out in the streets

I was stealing your car at the age of 13

You told me you just want some peace

You told me you just want your rest

You told me that I was so blessed

But I didn't see that not at the time

I was too busy just getting arrested

I was too busy making you depressed

I was too busy trying to get me a check

I was too busy running with the devil

I'm out all night long and I think I'm possessed

Feelings that I can't supress

Anger anxiety I'm feeling stressed

One after another you thinking what's next

I ain't make it home now you thinking I'm dead

When I went to jail you wouldn't even visit

'Cause you couldn't deal with that image

But when I came home I said I'm gonna make me a change

I had a new vision

I'm sick of the ways I was living

I know you was sick of it too

I'm gonna change like I'm on a new mission

I ain't coming back to this prison

I promise you I'ma be different

I'm gonna beat those addictions

I'm gonna change up the way that we living

I'm walking with GOD now I really did it

I'm chasing my dream and I don't see a limit

I really switched up pivot

I left the house and I know that I'm distant

I'm really far from home but I'm changing my life

And then bringing you in it

I went and I flipped me the switch

I got out the streets like I jumped me the ship

I sold all the gold on my neck and my wrist

Now my heart full of gold and I ain't gonna quit

I threw out the guns now I'm living sober

I really did it like I'm really gon' win

But I ain't alone I got GOD on my side like I'm walking with HIM

I promise I'ma buy you a new crib

I promise your dreams come true like make you a wish

I promise you gonna be proud of this kid

But Mom I'm a man now got to admit

And I couldn't do it without you

Like I wouldn't even know how to

I'ma keep going 'till you say I'm proud of you

Even when you say it know that I ain't gonna stop

Like I'ma make it to the top

I know it was hard I put you through a lot

I'ma make it all worth it I made it my job

Give you the world I told you just watch

You are my everything

When they all doubted you stood by my side

Now I'll give you everything

Wipe all those tears away don't you cry

Life doesn't come with a manual it comes with a mother

Won't ever go under

I won't ever drown 'cause you pull me up

You gave me my light and you taught me to love

Even though my words can't do enough

I want to thank you for all that you've done

Thank you for giving me life

Thank you for making me stronger and keeping me tough

You always stop and listen to my triumphs and fears

You always there to just dry all my tears

My biggest fan like you always gon' cheer

If I need you, you always appear

For the times I forgot to thank you

And all of the little things that you do

All of those words that went unspoken

I need to say I love you

Take my hand

'Cause I'm taking off never land

I'll be your number one man

For you I'ma take me a stand

I'll always be there

Like take my hand

It don't always go as we plan

But that's just the beauty of it

You know I'm your number one fan
