ed - note to self lyrics
dear ed
this is ed from age 14
i’m here to depict entities from behind the scenes of this life we call a movie
the world is a marvelous place but it’ll take time to find where you stay
you have to visualize life with no dead ends
stay content, keep your chin up and -ssent that not everything will come your way
integrity and emboldening are attributes you need in people
there’s good in evil and evil in good
that’s how you have to live
people will come and go
girls, there’s a billion more so don’t get high-strung for someone who you thought you loved
many will say you’ll meet her one day
until that day arrives enjoy the single ride before life is a carpool
it’s not about doing what others want
you don’t need n-bodies approval
it’s embarr-ssing only if you care what they think
don’t be a stick in the mud and do something fun
i’m telling you this cuz i know there won’t be a soul who cares
the world ain’t too fair
you’re still young so be prepared for a lack of recognition
don’t force the writing let it come to you
the best comes when you’re patient
take a break once in a while
cuz if you rush your alb-ms won’t get enough props
stay away from drugs
i know you’re tempted but trust me you’re better off without them
again, don’t worry about the women
write write and they’ll be putting out on the first night
girls who thought you were ugly will see you as godly
don’t think of yourself as a n-body
you’ll face nights when you’re lonely
nights where the words you write can’t define how you’re perceived
it’s better to be underground then mainstream
spread your music interest
i promise it’ll revolutionize the way you listen
you have no idea of the artists that are in this atmosphere
so be open minded
lastly
don’t get caught up with your reputation
crazy, i’m speaking to myself
i don’t know what to say or how i can help
so when you’re reading this
i hope you’re doing well
keep writing
til the day you die and
never contemplate suicide
i know you’d be lieing if you never thought about it but never commit
whatever pain you’re dealing with is temporary
don’t think it’s permanent
i wrote this cuz i know times will be difficult
when the devils arms are around your throat
when you hate the way your body looks
insecurities will distract you from your symmetry
so please
find a friend or two who can understand you
this life is more than you
ambling pain is the only way in forgiving deaths reign
please get therapy
if i can stop myself from k!lling myself at a very young age simply cuz a page
then i advise everyone to do the same
write for others, strangers, friends, brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, cousins, uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews, anybody who helped you and loved you
you’re on this earth not to be selfish but to boost those who are helpless
cherish the treasures you take for granted
treat everyone as a human
don’t be afraid to come out from your sh-ll
take advantage of once in a life time chances
don’t forget to stay you
love, ed
