Letter To Myself
Morae Ruffin, Joseph Boyden, Andrej Marko
I used to want the racks by the duffle and the checks by the millions
Wanted to protect my investment, invest in my children
Now the hero finally got the cape then he turned into the villain
Now my check is reality, I'm finally startin' to feel it
Wasn't cool enough, broke fan, all I had to feel the breeze
Night sweats, get these covers off of me
Hella dark, I couldn't see
Lights off, no electricity
Food spoiled, don't got no more EBT
What the fuck am I to eat?
Eat last, raisin' babies ain't cheap
They clothes fly 'cause my clothes stayed cheap
An eighth last a whole week
Pockets low, it's on froze, how they freeze
As a man I didn't feel real manly
Always with the rent late, tryna figure how to get paid
Worked all damn night for that minimum wage
Prayin' to myself, askin' God, "Where the better days?"
Must've caught the damn machine 'cause He wasn't answerin'
What kind of son am I really to lack the faith like that?
So full of love, how the fuck am I feelin' hate like that?
Givin' out hate, just know you gon' get that hate right back
I went off script, of course, I wasn't raised like that
I used to want the racks by the duffle and the checks by the millions
Wanted to protect my investment, invest in my children
Now the hero finally got the cape then he turned into the villain
Now my check is reality, I'm finally startin' to feel it
Speed up a year, wakin' up to a bigger crib
Feel like that nigga, gettin' figures, what the business is
It's fuck a fan, I got AC, I feel the chill again
I'm risin' higher, I'm on fire, never chill again
But I got caught up in the money, got caught up in the fame
I got caught up in a character who really wasn't me
I was lyin' to my wife and gave her nothin' but deceit
Eyes on your own paper but I decided to cheat
Kids tellin' me they miss me, I ain't seen 'em in some weeks
I was spendin' all my money like it grew on fuckin' trees
Wasn't takin' no advice, I was consumed by the greed
Assassinatin' my own character for the creed
I was down bad, now I'm up
I'm still down, not too late, still time to turn around
And be somebody new
The best version of you
I used to want the racks by the duffle and the checks by the millions
Wanted to protect my investment, invest in my children
Now the hero finally got the cape then he turned into the villain
Now my check is reality, I'm finally startin' to feel it
I used to want the racks by the duffle and the checks by the millions
Je voulais autrefois les liasses dans le sac de sport et les chèques par millions
Wanted to protect my investment, invest in my children
Je voulais protéger mon investissement, investir dans mes enfants
Now the hero finally got the cape then he turned into the villain
Maintenant le héros a finalement eu la cape puis il est devenu le méchant
Now my check is reality, I'm finally startin' to feel it
Maintenant mon chèque est une réalité, je commence enfin à le ressentir
Wasn't cool enough, broke fan, all I had to feel the breeze
Je n'étais pas assez cool, ventilateur cassé, tout ce que j'avais pour sentir la brise
Night sweats, get these covers off of me
Sueurs nocturnes, enlevez ces couvertures de moi
Hella dark, I couldn't see
Très sombre, je ne pouvais pas voir
Lights off, no electricity
Lumières éteintes, pas d'électricité
Food spoiled, don't got no more EBT
Nourriture gâtée, plus de EBT
What the fuck am I to eat?
Qu'est-ce que je suis censé manger ?
Eat last, raisin' babies ain't cheap
Manger en dernier, élever des bébés n'est pas bon marché
They clothes fly 'cause my clothes stayed cheap
Leurs vêtements sont chics parce que mes vêtements sont bon marché
An eighth last a whole week
Un huitième dure toute une semaine
Pockets low, it's on froze, how they freeze
Poches vides, elles sont gelées, comment peuvent-elles geler
As a man I didn't feel real manly
En tant qu'homme, je ne me sentais pas vraiment viril
Always with the rent late, tryna figure how to get paid
Toujours en retard avec le loyer, essayant de comprendre comment être payé
Worked all damn night for that minimum wage
Travaillé toute la nuit pour ce salaire minimum
Prayin' to myself, askin' God, "Where the better days?"
Je prie pour moi-même, demandant à Dieu, "Où sont les jours meilleurs ?"
Must've caught the damn machine 'cause He wasn't answerin'
J'ai dû attraper la machine parce qu'Il ne répondait pas
What kind of son am I really to lack the faith like that?
Quel genre de fils suis-je vraiment pour manquer de foi comme ça ?
So full of love, how the fuck am I feelin' hate like that?
Si plein d'amour, comment diable puis-je ressentir de la haine comme ça ?
Givin' out hate, just know you gon' get that hate right back
Donner de la haine, sachez que vous allez recevoir cette haine en retour
I went off script, of course, I wasn't raised like that
Je suis sorti du script, bien sûr, je n'ai pas été élevé comme ça
I used to want the racks by the duffle and the checks by the millions
Je voulais autrefois les liasses dans le sac de sport et les chèques par millions
Wanted to protect my investment, invest in my children
Je voulais protéger mon investissement, investir dans mes enfants
Now the hero finally got the cape then he turned into the villain
Maintenant le héros a finalement eu la cape puis il est devenu le méchant
Now my check is reality, I'm finally startin' to feel it
Maintenant mon chèque est une réalité, je commence enfin à le ressentir
Speed up a year, wakin' up to a bigger crib
Accélérez d'un an, se réveiller dans une plus grande maison
Feel like that nigga, gettin' figures, what the business is
Je me sens comme ce mec, obtenir des chiffres, quelles sont les affaires
It's fuck a fan, I got AC, I feel the chill again
C'est foutu un ventilateur, j'ai la clim, je ressens le froid à nouveau
I'm risin' higher, I'm on fire, never chill again
Je monte plus haut, je suis en feu, je ne me refroidirai plus jamais
But I got caught up in the money, got caught up in the fame
Mais je me suis laissé prendre par l'argent, je me suis laissé prendre par la célébrité
I got caught up in a character who really wasn't me
Je me suis laissé prendre par un personnage qui n'était vraiment pas moi
I was lyin' to my wife and gave her nothin' but deceit
Je mentais à ma femme et ne lui donnais que de la tromperie
Eyes on your own paper but I decided to cheat
Les yeux sur votre propre papier mais j'ai décidé de tricher
Kids tellin' me they miss me, I ain't seen 'em in some weeks
Les enfants me disent qu'ils me manquent, je ne les ai pas vus depuis des semaines
I was spendin' all my money like it grew on fuckin' trees
Je dépensais tout mon argent comme s'il poussait sur des arbres
Wasn't takin' no advice, I was consumed by the greed
Je n'écoutais aucun conseil, j'étais consumé par l'avidité
Assassinatin' my own character for the creed
Assassinant mon propre personnage pour le credo
I was down bad, now I'm up
J'étais mal en point, maintenant je suis en haut
I'm still down, not too late, still time to turn around
Je suis toujours en bas, pas trop tard, il est encore temps de faire demi-tour
And be somebody new
Et être quelqu'un de nouveau
The best version of you
La meilleure version de vous

Comer por último, criar bebês não é barato
They clothes fly 'cause my clothes stayed cheap
As roupas deles são legais porque as minhas eram baratas
An eighth last a whole week
Um oitavo durava uma semana inteira
Pockets low, it's on froze, how they freeze
Bolsos vazios, estão congelados, como eles congelam

Como homem, eu não me sentia muito masculino
Always with the rent late, tryna figure how to get paid
Sempre com o aluguel atrasado, tentando descobrir como ser pago
Worked all damn night for that minimum wage
Trabalhei a noite toda pelo salário mínimo
Prayin' to myself, askin' God, "Where the better days?"
Orando para mim mesmo, perguntando a Deus, "Onde estão os dias melhores?"
Must've caught the damn machine 'cause He wasn't answerin'
Deve ter pego a maldita máquina porque Ele não estava respondendo
What kind of son am I really to lack the faith like that?
Que tipo de filho eu sou para perder a fé assim?
So full of love, how the fuck am I feelin' hate like that?
Tão cheio de amor, como diabos estou sentindo ódio assim?
Givin' out hate, just know you gon' get that hate right back
Distribuindo ódio, saiba que você vai receber esse ódio de volta

It's fuck a fan, I got AC, I feel the chill again
É foda-se um ventilador, eu tenho ar condicionado, sinto o frio novamente
I'm risin' higher, I'm on fire, never chill again
Estou subindo mais alto, estou pegando fogo, nunca mais vou esfriar
But I got caught up in the money, got caught up in the fame
Mas eu me envolvi no dinheiro, me envolvi na fama
I got caught up in a character who really wasn't me
Eu me envolvi em um personagem que realmente não era eu
I was lyin' to my wife and gave her nothin' but deceit
