Letters From My Soul

[Chorus]
This a letter from my soul
This a letter from my soul
This a letter from my soul
Everything is building up, so I had to let it, uh

[Verse 1]
Dear who ever wanna listen
I need help, and I'm stuck in a position
You see, I'm sick, so they gave me a prescription
And now this shit went and gave me an addiction
See, I would never take a pill for the thrill
Only take a pill to escape from all the real
Uh, I love the way it make me feel
Fuck, see I'm behind on my bills
I work hard every Friday, man, I earn a check
And by Sunday, I spend it on Percocets
I understand that the situation's ugly
But I'm feeling like drugs is the only ones that love me

[Chorus]
This a letter from my soul
This a letter from my soul
This a letter from my soul
(Hold on, man, gotta hold on, man, gotta hold on, man)
Everything is building up, so I had to let it go
(Na, na, na, na)
This a letter from my soul
This a letter from my soul
Tried to do it on my own
(Hold on, man, gotta hold on, man, gotta hold on, man)
Everything is building up, so I had to let it go
(Na, na, na, na)

[Verse 2]
Dear angel from above
Why you take my mother? she’s the only one I love
Say you got a plan, well, let me see the blueprints
I don't think it makes sense, I'm about to lose it
Got me feeling stupid
All the nights I stayed up
Praying for a miracle and you ain't even save her
All I wanted was an answer
Felt my heart tear when I heard she got cancer
It take a toll when you have to see your hero
Struggle everyday just to make it through chemo
Second guessing God or whoever made the plan
I'm second guessing me trying to make it as a man
Damn

[Chorus]
This a letter from my soul
This a letter from my soul
This a letter from my soul
(Hold on, man, gotta hold on, man, gotta hold on, man)
Everything is building up, so I had to let it go
(Na, na, na, na)
This a letter from my soul
This a letter from my soul
Tried to do it on my own
(Hold on, man, gotta hold on, man, gotta hold on, man)
Everything is building up, so I had to let it go
(Na, na, na, na)

[Verse 3]
Dear border patrol
I understand that you holding control, but
But I'm just begging that you open the doors
'Cause my family got a taste and we hoping for more
We don’t want no trouble, promise that we innocent
Hard working immigrants trying to be some citizens
Benefit society, even pay our taxes
But our visas are expired, so you gonna send us back, bitch?
Please, I can't afford to leave the country
Jeopardize our safety, watch my kids go hungry
You ain't helping out shit, all I see is evil
You kick us of your land claiming everything is equal
Man, fuck you

[Chorus]
This a letter from my soul
This a letter from my soul
This a letter from my soul
(Hold on, man, gotta hold on, man, gotta hold on, man)
Everything is building up, so I had to let it go
(Na, na, na, na)
This a letter from my soul
This a letter from my soul
Tried to do it on my own
(Hold on, man, gotta hold on, man, gotta hold on, man)
Everything is building up, so I had to let it go
(Na, na, na, na)

[Outro]
Let me tell you something you already know
The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows
It's a very mean and nasty place
And I don't care how tough you are
It will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it
You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life
But it ain't about how hard you hit
It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward
How much you can take and keep moving forward
