Open Letter Lyrics

Listen

Can I ask you a question

Is there a lesson that I can learn in life

How can I earn my stripes

If I keep messing up things that's a blessing

Now that I burned my life more like a burned it twice

I try to raise my daughter to live life with no fear

Keep my family bros goals and hopes near

While things change everything stays the same

I don't point fingers in shame or aim to blame

Shit I was working two jobs working fifty hours plus

Me and your momma putting food on the table cause it's a must

I never sold drugs I never gang banged

But there was a time or two where daddy had to pull out the pistol

Never said that I was perfect nobody is

I work my fingers to the bone knuckle hard like stones

And if you ever listen to this kid

Just know I love you and you'll never be alone

Soon daddy will be home I love you

This is a letter to you all

This is a letter that's calling my name yeah

This is a letter to you all

This is a letter that's calling my name yeah

This is a letter to you all

This is a letter that's calling my name yeah

This is a letter to you all

This is a letter that's calling my name yeah

One time for them YN Rich Kids

Two times for them north side poor guys

If I took your advice

I'd probably be sitting with CTE court side

Life is a short ride

Money and respect isn't worth dying

But I'll be damned if I don't deserve mine

The way I make these words line up I should serve time

Strapped to the face of the earth flying

As I wind around the galaxy

I'm sad to see little ones crying

I do my part and try my best to impart

Wisdom in my words to let the love out of my heart

Wishing that I could restart

Made some mistakes in my day

But they made me harder

Got that much more to teach to my sons and daughters

One day I want to be a father

So I pray to Allah begging that he makes me smarter

I've taken on an aura that can only take me farther

So with my lips I leave this sacred gift upon the altar

This is a letter to you all

This is a letter that's calling my name yeah

This is a letter to you all

This is a letter that's calling my name yeah

This is a letter to you all

This is a letter that's calling my name yeah

This is a letter to you all

This is a letter that's calling my name yeah
