LETTER TO YOU Lyrics

I gotta, I gotta rap this shit like how, when I was thinking about it

Word up

Shit deep

Uhh

Time flies, we could talk about it Bond so strong, can't walk about it

I'm just here delivering a message

Press send, hopefully you'll get it

Communication lost, it ain't sweet

Weeks go past, we don't speak

Shit crazy, now look at me

In this booth, venting to this beat

Got me filling words on a sheet Been together since we was teens

Strong, independent, black woman

Always had a shoulder for your lean

After ten years, we called quits. Still, when you call, I'ma answer

You and I could've had three children. Then the doctors let you know that you got…

Tsss damn

Look, doctors let you know you had cancer

Swear that shit broke a nigga down

But I gotta be strong for you

Every time I'm with you, you gon' smile

Can't believe they took our little child

Can't believe they took our little twins

After that, it took a little while

Pinched like a needle under skin

I can't even lie, that shit is foul

Always tell you keep your head high no matter what

That's how it go from the start

Realize when you grow up with somebody, that it's difficult growing apart

Bottle after bottle, getting drunk in the studio

Every morning, I feel it

Blacking out, bugging, doing wild shit

Had a serious talk with my spirit

Thinking bout how the cards played out

Thinking bout all of the doctors you visit

Procedures that they got you going through

Life through a crazy audible

All of this laying in my mental Zoning out in instrumentals

I know that my niggas know me well

Get around them, they can't even tell

I'ma bring heaven to the room Even when I'm in the pits of hell

I could have the world up on my shoulders, but the main goal is to excel

For real

This is to the heart like a stethoscope

Not a need to know, but a get to know

When you in the dark, never let it grow

When you got someone that'll hold you down, please, no matter what, never let them go

Thinking I'm damaged, but you told me you broken

I noticed the difference in that

Enjoy the times

Cause they turning to memories you never getting them back

From time to time

Like the old times I wish we could sit and relax

Reluctant on giving the world to anyone else, because I know it could collapse

God gives tough battles to the toughest soldiers I know you feel an attacked

I don't think you truly know how strong you are

I promise that most would've cracked

Under the pressure you face on a daily basis just know you pressure in fact

I want to see you happy even if it's not with me

Tell me what's bigger than that Let me know

Yeah

This was a letter to you

Signed, sincerely Hill

I gotta give credit to you

Wishing the best for your future I know you gon' be straight

Before you decide to judge a book, go ahead and read any page

Are you kidding me? My heart is in my throat at that first beat drop

This is a letter to you

You have a hell of a poker face, because there are just so many details that I kept from you

And the bit that I did let you in on, and the bit that I did let you support me with

to know it was received so deeply when you were so solid through all of it

it's actually pretty triggering to know what you actually felt

There's so much I wish I could take back

You know, you don't invest, like, all this time just to end up here. It's stupid

But, um, what does it say

Love is a journey, right? Love is a journey, not a, not a destination

And, um, a few bad chapters doesn't mean it's the end of the book, I guess

Yeah
