Letter From My Soul Lyrics

Shit, why the fuck would I come this far just to stop right now

The fuck I look like

We gon' leave this bitch with something'

I ain't gon' never leave with nothing'

That's on me

That's on us

How the black sheep just turn into the golden child

I got my eyes on the prize so I ain't slowing down

I don't know when it's gon' happen, all I know is now

I just sat and listened, promise I ain't make a sound

They say you see it to believe it, but I beg to differ

I believed before I seen and that's what made the difference

I just pray when I talk that they really listen

Because it's coming from my soul, it was never fiction

Was knocked down plenty times, I ended up standing up tall

It didn't happen overnight, at first I started to crawl

I was sitting on that bench before I picked up the ball

I just knew they hit my line, I had to pick up the call

I needed the L's, I needed the pain

I couldn't appreciate the sun if I ain't stand in the rain

I came out a better man, see I ain't moving the same

Gotta know it's all love when they speak on my name

You know they say the strongest soldiers get the toughest battles

I looked fear in their eyes and I was never rattled

Before I ever touched the money, my hands was full of gravel

Shit I was praying in that mud, I turned it to my chapel

I'm getting closer every day, I could reach out and touch it

And when I'm saying I'm moving P it's profit, and production

The numbers start to add up, you find the right function

That's exactly how you turn nothing into something

When it's all said and done, I need a standing ovation

Wonder if they can see my vision, is that so raven

Man, don't think you David Ruffin, cause he needed temptations

It's okay to be Otis, if he shine, ain't no hatin

That's why I never cared about the hate, I feel the love more

Shit be going back and forth, feeling like it's tug war

For my family, for my brothers, that's who I thug for

Nigga, you ever counted up so much, it made yo thumbs sore

And if I ever say I got you, then I really mean it

And if I put it in a rap, that's cause I really seen it

And if it's put up on my plate, then I'ma really clean it

I used to want a lot of shit, but now I really need it

You know they say big risks take big nuts

I remember falling down, I still had my chin up

The day my life changed was when I picked the pen up

Gotta know, if you stack one then put ten up

Ready on your march, bitch, I'm yelling get set, go

I see the snake in they eyes, must be G.I. Joe

Difference is, see they believe, but see me, I know

I got the keys up in my hand, must be piano

I never cared about the winning, I just hate to lose

I never cared about the hits, know, I just hate to bruise

Early bird get it first, that's why I hate to snooze

Why they hating on me like I just made the rules

Know, I do this shit for E.N.T

I'm just staying out the way, my life on D.N.D

They don't understand, can't see through my E.Y.Es

I ain't thinking small, naw, I'm thinking B.I.G

I got 120 on the dash for this bag, Ricky Bobby

Before this shit got sweet, I was chilling in the lobby

The pace a nigga move, I got control, see they gon' copy

I be cooling catch me with some shit that's hotter than wasabi

They can never understand, you know this shit get tricky

You want better for yourself, that's when this shit get sticky

That's why I'm saving all my love, it got me feeling like Whitney

Man, the day I lost Chris, I swear to God, it just hit me

Only thing I wanna do is get my people out

I'm aware of my surroundings, I gotta peep em out

You know them snake's up in the grass, make sure you weed em out

The odds against me, this time, I tell em bet the house

Straight money line, naw, not the spread

When you start up in the back, you learn to think moves ahead

Man, they happy with they slice, I wonder who baked the bread

I got my mix right, you know I'm breaking the bread

I was sitting there last night and I'm counting up

That's when that shit really hit me, I shed a tear on a hundred

Don't nobody understand all the pain, trials, tribulations, sacrifices it took to get to this point right here

And you know we got fallen brothers and lost soldiers that's no longer with us

And you know when you ain't moving for self, you moving for us

And when you moving for us, you can't lose

You know maybe you get your hand dealt, you look at your cards and you play it the right way

And maybe all this shit work out, have you some beginners luck
