Letter to the Young

Yeah

You know it’s not often that I get to speak my mind but

You know what? What I’m about to say?

I just think that’s it’s really important

This goes all out to the young boys and girls out there all over the world, the people representing the next generation

I know a lot of y’all have a lot dreams and goals that y’all wanna go for

But at the same time it’s like

You start getting scared of what your friends and family would think about you

And you feel like you gotta limit yourself

But you shouldn’t do that at all

Just hear what I say

Open your mind as wide as the ocean

You’re bound to be chosen

Go find a little freedom for me

You’ll be coasting in life when you got devotion

You’re divine, you’re a token

Go find a little freedom for me

First off I wanna thank you for the life that you live

There’s plenty that you’ll accomplish, ain’t no closing the lid

Be the prodigy you gotta be, but feel like a kid

Cause ain’t no telling what happens if you rebel and do a bid

However, I can tell that you’ll be better than me

You can make the biggest changes since the weather, you see?

So when you go, always know you’re a treasure to me

This for you, it’s a letter from me (that’s right)

You’re going all around the whole world

Fellas go and treat her like a whole pearl

Ladies own your beauty like you go girl

This is your time, this is your world

(What do you say)

(All over) all over the world (x3)

(All over) all over, yeah

Open your mind as wide as the ocean

You’re bound to be chosen

Go find a little freedom for me

I’m toasting to a future of good will upon all our families

Believe that, believe in me

Go live your dreams

I’ll take you back to the days when I felt all the pain

When I felt so insane yet I had so much to gain

I thought that I had a limit, I wondered if I should give in

I knew that I was so different and scared to admit it

Took me some years to be bold, felt the pressure to life

Took some minutes to be cold when I picked up a knife

Life is splattered, it don’t matter if you’re black or you’re white

Just win the battle, gain the mental peace, it’s such a delight

Got your own free will, you can do what you wanna

Just be calm, be skilled, ‘cause you’re standing here upon a world of pawns and pills that’ll fry you like a grill

So just chill and roll with me

I promise, I can tell that you’ll be better than me

You can make the biggest changes since the weather, you see?

So when you go, always know you’re a treasure to me

This for you, it’s a letter from me

You’re going all around the whole world (whole world yeah)

Fellas go and treat her like a whole pearl (you’re a whole pearl yeah)

Ladies own your beauty like you go girl

This is your time, this is your world

(What do you say)

(All over) all over the world (x3)

(All over) all over, yeah

I really hope that you can understand what I’m saying

I went through it too

You just gotta make them understand what you can do

So don’t be scared

You got this
