[Verse 1]
I ain't seen the city in a minute
This ain't a letter to my ex, she won't really get it
This ain't a letter to my next, since I'm feeling different
This just a letter to myself, I've been getting distant
We lost lives along the way, that's just how it goes
I don't ever hit my folks, 'less I'm at the shows
But where's a ticket for the realest fan I ever had?
The one who started out with me before I got a bag
The girl I called every night just to sing the bars
Now she above me in the sky with a thousand stars
I pour some Sherry in a cup for the better days
I pour some bourbon in a glass when I get a raise
I pour this Crown in a chalice just to get a taste
I drink some water in the morning just to ease the pain
I got some trauma on the brain that would still remain
I'd pour that vodka down the drain, I got a lot to gain
Getting older by the day, this life is not a game
But sure enough I write lyrics when it's all okay
Ain't nobody gonna hear this, yet they pressing play
Life lessons in the wake, tryna get it straight
Young homies doped out, wasn't really fate?
These Internet trolls always bearing fangs
Keep the focus on the business that'll get you paid
Then, save that paper for your kids or a rainy day

[Hook]
Just a letter to myself, just a focus on growth
Ten toes for my family, that's the life that I chose
Had to grow from that dirt, now that's really a rose
All seasons tryna get it, weighing cons under pros
Just a letter to myself, just a focus on growth
Ten toes for my family, that's the life that I chose
Had to grow from that dirt, now that's really a rose
All seasons tryna get it, weighing cons under pros
