The Letter

Don't forget the past, Just make sure it never lasts It's important to learn The need to be first The desire to contrast Let's take it back to the times that we had in the past Yea baby it was good while it lasted The prophecy said that we were meant to be together But you were so flakey, you left and flew away jus like a feather I'm under the weather, but I'm writing a letter to god He talks about how we're all screwed up and flawed He says that's the problem with today's society There's no variety And everybody tries to be what they're not Yea Imma find my place Whether I have to make my place Or take another's place Look somebody face to face Explain and state I have this grit Tell them why I ain't gon' jus quit I don't come from humble beginnings I said I admit it But that jus gives me more to prove More to improve For them to approve Or disapprove Which would potentially lead to me being removed From the system, got so many people dissin' me and I keep missing' em Don't forget the past, Just make sure it never lasts It's important to learn The need to be first The desire to contrast Forget the money, power, and fame Cause all that damn time you're spending's insane, uh When I leave here on this earth Did I take more than I gave All that matters is the ones who remember my name I wanna leave behind a legacy, my legacy I wanna live up to the leader everybody wants me to be I see The majority population Ain't rlly tryna succeed I'll succeed I'll get there eventually Eventually, I'm heading for my dreams You know One day I'll be rapping exceptionally Right now I'm trying to breathe Trying to perceive What life means Tryna see The big scheme Of things, yea I'm sitting here Wondering if it's all worth it I'm not perfect Is god gon select me It's a bet got no regrets The question is can I make it to the big leagues Don't forget the past Just make sure it never lasts It's important to learn The need to be first The desire to contrast You sent me that letter Told me things weren't getting better And they'll never It'll Never be the same, But you're clever, You can figure this out, I'm by your side forever, If you need me just look south You said dear god Lead me to the promised land I know I'm flawed But You know I can take a stand I will lead a group of people To see new heights We'll all unlock our potential if we do it right Don't forget the past, Just make sure it never lasts It's important to learn The need to be first The desire to contrast
