The Letter

Yeah, dear Mike, I hope you get this letter back

Let me know if everything's okay and where you settled at

Life's been pretty rocky, but I'm sure you'll get ahead of that

But I just pray you got to keep your confidence

And didn't lack in self-appreciation

'Cause you never really centered that

I'm just being honest, if you hear me, you can send it back

But did you find your peace or did you let me finish the attack?

It's alright with me, whatever choice you made, won't give it flat

'Cause I'm in fact, dealing with a couple pressures on my own

So please receive this letter 'cause

We know you don't pick up the phone

Stubborn ass, never left for help, you only left alone

Everything you pushed away, what led you to this empty zone?

I know you ain't crying, but I can feel it in your tone

Isolation seem to be the only thing you've ever known

Do you need a hug?

I will you push me like you did your own family, ****

You supposed to be the one to bring him home

I'm sorry

No, I can't blame you for that

Been thinking about this shit for years

It left a stain on my back

I'm fighting on through hell of tears

Wishing this pain ain't effect

Yo, every move

You know your mama didn't train you like that

Just let me know you got this message

And just promise that you're doing fine

Looking for some clarity

Sincerely from this heart of mine

Yeah

Sincerely from this heart of mine

Yeah

Dear Danny, I wonder if you made it

Did you get to pour your heart and leave it on them stages?

Did you tour the world, city after city, many faces?

You a master of your craft, touch the mic and never shake it

Will they see you in them books, learn about you in them pages?

Will they talk about the greatest?

Is your name in conversations?

I just wanna know if this dream of mine is worth the chasing

I've been running slow, doubting my ability and I'm saying

Dear Danny, have you healed a lot of souls?

Wonder what they think of you

The word you say I'm proud for

I just hope you're proud of you

Wear it on your face

How many lives you saving

Boy, you can't forget your cape

A superhero

Acknowledgement and all the accolades

And I hope you took it far enough

To immortalize your name

No, you can't be liked by everyone

Ignore the ones that hate

And I know this shit might take a while

I'll try to find some patience

Dear DeAndre

I wonder if you finally healed your heart

You had battles with anxiety, it left you in the dark

And for the longest you've been telling lies

I'm fine as where it starts

Did you learn to love yourself

Or did you end it with a spark infatuation

With your suicide, I'm praying that it's gone

'Cause your own life needs some saving

I just hope you living long

And when you make it to that old age

And lying on your deathbed

I hope your memories are full of joy when all is done

This is a letter to our future selves

Don't you, don't you ever give up

Don't you ever give up

Ever

Ever give up on this shit, man

Don't you ever give up, don't ever think

About quitting, throwing in that towel

Never, ever, ever give up, keep on going

You got it
