Letter To My Fans / Forever Love

[Part 1: "Letter To My Fans"]

[Intro]
Yeah
If you can make it through the night, then you—
If you can make it through the night
If you can make it through the night

[Verse 1]
I know consistency is key (Real talk)
Sorry that I wasn't consistent as y'all want me to be
Sorry that I wasn't droppin' enough (Damn)
I just really had my head in a rut (Uh)
I just really had my head somewhere else and not on y'all
Know my music help you get through life, so I was in the wrong
Fans writin' me 'bout songs
They had said they played it last night, it got 'em through 'til morning (True)
My music is therapeutic to people when it be stormin' (Yeah)
My music is like an umbrеlla for you when it start pourin'
They tried to makе me forget who I was, but I ain't normal (What?)
Ain't act different when I caught me a buzz, I stayed cordial
Reppin' Vernon, that's my territory, let y'all hear my story (Ew)
God put me through the fire, made it out, here go the glory (Ah)
All the choices that I make now gon' help me when I'm forty
Undies pat me from the waist down, they think I got a 30 (Damn)
This is nothin' like when I was twenty on the block servin' (What?)
This is nothin' like when I made my first dime off of verses (True)
When you point the finger, three pointin' back, nobody perfect, close the curtain (What the fuck?)
I been nervous, scared to use my gift 'cause it come with the curses (Real talk)
Walkin' in Bottega, everything that's in the store, man, you could purchase (I could)
Underneath the surface, I was heartbroken, I was hurtin'
Niggas stealin' waves, they ain't know that I was good at— (They ain't even know)
Y'all had seen me come from nothin', made somethin', I deserve it (What?)
Sorry that I made y'all wait for Thurler, but it's gon' be worth it (True)
It's a void that I'm tryna fill, I been searchin' (Goddamn)

[Interlude]
The life
The life situations you go through
Or the challenges you go through
Or the fuckin' lessons you learn, you feel me?
That's how you learn how to become thurl, you feel me?
Like, this thurl shit?
This shit is not a fuckin' lifestyle, this shit is a fuckin' treat, you feel me?
Like, bein' thurl is bein' solid, bein' a real one, you feel me?

[Verse 2]
I was hard on myself 'cause I made so many mistakes
I was starvin' myself tryna make everybody plate (Come on)
One nigga do you wrong, you thinkin' everybody snakes (Yeah)
It was written, I know it was fate, I just had to wait
Never bitchin', I know if I put the work in, I'll be straight (Come on)
I'm just happy that y'all listened, gave a chance to all my tapes (True)
I'm just happy that I'm in the position to heal the ache (I mean that)
I be scrollin' through my comments, 4 a.m., but I'm awake (Yeah)
Y'all don't know how much it mean when I see y'all say that I'm great (Real talk)
Y'all don't know how much it mean, when y'all stream, I get pape' (Yeah, young)
Y'all don't know that y'all the reason that my clothes up to date (Uh)
Y'all don't know that y'all the reason that my soul ain't never break (What?)
That my life still intact (What?), that my mind ain't get tanked (Yeah)
'Bout to shed a tear, I'm thinkin' 'bout my fans in the bank (What the fuck?)
Just know that every picture, I'ma take (I mean that)
Just know that you can if you thinkin' you can't
I know people and they feelings change, y'all ain't never change (Come on)
Never lookin' down on none of y'all 'cause all of us the same (On none of y'all)
And I promise never front on y'all, I'll always stay the same (Front on y'all)
I remember what it took (Yeah)
They was choosin' everybody else, I got overlooked (Damn)
Now I'm fully booked, y'all the reason I never got booked (But now I'm fully)

[Outro]
I wake up every morning, I know I'm the thurlest nigga on this fuckin' Earth, you hear me?
Like, can't no nigga out-thurl me, you understand me?
So it's like you could put me in the room with whoever
Millionaires, billionaires, fuckin' trillionaires
I know I'm gonna be the thurlest nigga in the room
Just off how I carry myself and how I move around in these streets, you feel me?
So it's like, if I'm not gon' be thurl, then who the fuck is?

[Part II: "Forever Love"]

[Intro]
Real talk (Shut up, Dev, just shut up)
Goin', goin', goin'
But you already know
Uh

[Chorus]
I know the game gon' test you
Why should I care about what niggas think? When you die, they so quick to forget you (Damn)
I ain't keepin' nobody that don't wanna be kept, if you wanna do your thing, I'ma let you
Speakin' your truth, hopin' that they accept you and never judge (And never judge)
To all of my fans that gave me a chance, forever love (Real talk)
To all of my fans that gave me a chance, it's forever love (All of my fans that gave me a chance)

Fresh off the treadmill, I'm doin' push-ups and sit-ups and chin-ups (Okay)
I remember the first pic I took with a fan (Yeah)
'Member the first time I got an advance (Yeah)
'Member the first time that I went broke, I was down on my knees, God, give me a chance (I was down on my knees)
You get me right, I won't do it again (Yeah)

Leveled up, ended up fuckin' her friend (Yeah)

I caught a buzz, now I'm gettin' it in (Ayy, real talk)
Sober, they introduced me to the drugs
After that, I fell in love with the 10s (Fuck?)
Walk in the condo, an Off-White rug (Uh)
Right by the door, that's where I left my Timbs (Yeah)
I try my best to show all youngins love
I could relate 'cause I been where they been ('Cause I been)
Bitch lookin' badder than Kim in the Skims
Chasin' this cabbage 'cause I need an M (Real talk)

[Chorus]
I know the game gon' test you (Yeah)
Why should I care about what niggas think? When you die, they so quick to forget you (Uh)
I ain't keepin' nobody that don't wanna be kept, if you wanna do your thing, I'ma let you (Real talk)
Speakin' your truth, hopin' that they accept you and never judge (Yeah)
