Note to Self

Hook:
If I had to write a note to my self

Back at the age of 12

When I saw my homie killed

Verse 1:
I'd tell myself don't spend time fantasizing

The world is colder than you realize it

The stars shooting in the night sky

While n***** bodies laying dead from a drive by

Yea and being black in this world tougher than you know it

This rap game saturated they don't need more poets

Don't think the scripture gon' save you cause these pastors lying

Yea religion is a product homie, never buy it

Uh

Don't try to set yourself apart and be different

Cause the people want the lies call it media-ism

Yea

That sound crazy, get used to it

Cause you at a disadvantage if you new to this

Yea

Don't want you spending time chasing dreams

Cause the system making money while you make believe

The struggles only just begun

Ain't no point in living

I ain't tryna front

Sincerely, you at 21

Verse 2:
I'd tell myself That life is worth living

Just cause you saw your homie go

Don't mean your time’s finished

Cause your time isn't

I know this world always giving you troubles in bundles

I know it's hard when you feel like the world doesn't love you

But look around you my n****

You got a family that'll die for you n****

You only 12 stop the sad faces

Keep your head up

Cause God got you

Even at the times you blinded

He still watch you

Don't live in fear homie live in love

Don't be scared bout your future n****

You going up

I say this truthfully and optimistic

Don't what you thinking I'm just condescending

This is not the ending

Cause you a bright star

A wild child

An old soul

Yea you bound to blow

When you get older

So wipe your tears and pick your jeans up

And attain knowledge

I'll end it here cause you bout to graduate college
