Open Letter III

If I could only say one thing to y'all
I would say it all
I don't know where to go from here
But I know God involved
And He seen it all

Check
Mama said, "Baby, don't lose yourself 'cause it ain't worth it"
Everybody got they shit, nobody's perfect
Everybody did they bid and now they workin'
And that shit workin', yeah (Yeah)
It is what it is, I did what I did
I did it my way, never let nothin' get in my way (No)
Said I went rogue, said I went waste
But they don't know my pain
They said I got lost, I took my space
But can't get out my brain
They don't know what this takes, but I'm so tired of explainin'
So I went ghost, two fingers up for the love
I switch it up for the haters
Fuck what they say, don't hold weight
I'm cookin' what they couldn't cater
Shit, I put funds in the bank, my bae put food on my plate
I'm from the west till the grave, she from the south like Decatur
Miss my bro I can't lie, stayin' fly with my cape
Wish I could fly to the moon, I'd live inside my own crater
Wish I could take it way back when vinyls spill out the crate
They bump my shit in the trenches, I'm military like bape, yeah

Everybody got they way in life
I done been on the road for so long, I miss my guide
I never knew I was so strong, this can't be mine
This shit ain't right, nah, this can't be life

When Papa died in that crash, man, I just couldn't understand
Too young, I couldn't comprehend, but I get it now I'm a man
Mama held me so tight, she couldn't explain it, I guess
So we just pray to the lord and still we fly, Peter Pan
Then grandma died in the house, she used to grade all my shit
I went to school and came back to pictures all over the crib
I think about the whole clan, like if we ain't make it for real
Would anyone understand why I ain't take a deal?
Father, Lord, hold me tight, I know I've been a stranger
See, I had thought it was time, but I can wait, You the Maker
Think they boxin' me in, my cubicle full of paper
Shit, I just wanna be great, why it's always somethin' that's greater?
And I ain't wanna be famous, but I can handle the changes
See all the love that I gave and I wouldn't change it for haters
Still number ten on my back, I'm signin' out, fuck rap
I'm signin' in, count my winnings, just hold this shit till I'm back
But I can't live in the past, used to live for tomorrow
Livin' now, livin' fast, I hope my children don't follow
If Heaven knock on my door, ain't got no questions to ask
It's time to go, hit the gas, I just hope this shit lasts

If I could only say one thing to y'all
I would say nothin', yeah
