Open Letter - Lil Wayne
[Intro]
Ah-em
[Verse]
Sometimes I feel like I ain't sh_t
Sometimes a n_gga feel like sh_t
Talkin' 'bout some real life sh_t
Goodbye letter, dear life sh_t
So if a n_gga kill me, hope he mean it
I just hope I die for a reason
They probably won't miss me 'til they need me, Lord
I'm talkin' 'bout some real life sh_t
Goodbye letter, dear life sh_t
Way too concerned to be conceited
I live then I learn, then die tryna teach 'em, Lord
Die tryna reach 'em
They care more about I'll even when I leave it
I hope I leave more of an impression on my kids to be destined to have blessings to believe in, Lord
Just got off the phone with my son
Told him, "You a son of a gun"
Just got off the phone with my daughter
Told her, "I won't hesitate to f_ck a young n_gga up"
Lord, a few b_tches left me
And only got a new b_tch elected
My old b_tch was too disrespectful
And only give my new b_tch respect
That's power, yes
So now we're next
Can't lie though, I tried though
I'l die tryin', that's a common death
We was such a team, we was chasin' our dreams
Then it stopped, now I'm outta breath
Now they try to tell me I need rest and I'l find love again, I ain't find it yet
Oh, but I guess it is what it is
As it appears, oh sh_t
The object in the mirror is more near than it appears, oh sh_t
And sometimes I fear who in the mirror
That n_gga weird
He done died so many times but still here
Why am I here? Here
Life
What is my meaning? My reason?
Naked b_tches really love ones
Sometimes our loved ones don't love us
I'm f_ckin' more than I'm makin' love
Sometimes I make my rubber wear a rubber
I just tell my lady, "Nothing's easy"
Even though I make it look easy
But understand looks are deceiving
Lookin' like I'm lookin' for some grievance
'Cause I been through way too much, don't wanna think about it
Crank about it, gotta drink about it
Gotta synchronize it, tranquilize it
Doctor ain't prescribin' what he ain't realizin'
Pain inside me got me thinkin' 'bout me
Tryna hang my body, sanctifyin'
I'm a gangsta dyin' 'cause I [?]
Can't deny it, you can't take my lion
I'm a angry lion hangin' by a string
I can't describe it
Feel like a anchor tied to my finger
Got me sinkin' to the bottom of my drink
I know a lotta n_ggas think I got a lotta n_ggas
There's strength in numbers but there's honor over strength
I talked to God the other day, he said he got a n_gga
So, I look death up in her eye and then I wink
It's way too real
The sh_t I'm talkin' way way too real
I hope it gave you chills
The dirt under your feet could be the grave, you feel
You don't know how dead you feel until you're dead for real
Gettin' high after I paid the bill
[?] and them Navy Seals
Show up with them Navy guns
I hope somebody prayin' for 'em
Price tags on the steak, somebody payin' for 'em
Ice baths, now my face numb, no expression
What's the life expectancy when you don't expect sh_t?
Mama told me, "F_ck the world and be so aggressive"
Be so fluorescent, watch these hoes 'cause they so obsessive
I don't get too high to look over blessings
Never come in second, make the most of your seconds
They so precious
'Cause if we could buy time every store would sell it
If you want me to read your mind, need correct spelling
I keep it real, n_ggas better keep it [?]
[?]
Lookin' in the mirror at the one that know me better
I was too busy to talk, I wrote an open letter
[Refrain]
Dear life
Was is my meaning? My reason?
That's the question
I ask the reader
God bless the reader
Dear life
What is my meaning? My reason?
That's the question
[Outro: Lil Wayne's mom]
You know, when he told me Toya was havin' a baby, I say, "Y'all young. You know y'all young." But I said, "Be the best father you can be," you know. And truly, he is that
