shayjtoday - the letter lyrics
(2x)
this goes out to you
this goes out to you
this goes out to you, you and you…
(verse 1)
i often reminisce about the time
when i was yours and you were still mine
it runs through my mind
up and down the streets of 13th as i drive
sometimes
i often wonder if you were the one
and if the decision i made was dumb
i look my fellow peers in the eyes
i tell them what happened they ask why
i’m fighting back the tears before i cry
sitting on a bench as i look into the sky
but i know
relationships is all about growth
if the water runs dry then it dies
i came to be the farmer…
i used my greenthumb to replenish the roots
and shake the dirt loose to show the armor
of my karma-unh
i love you like my mama
wish you happiness and pray n-body ever harms ya
and you still a sweet soul
don’t ever let n-body in this world tell you that you not beautiful
although you may not feel it on the inside
hold ya chin up/hang onto ya pride
i let it go to alleviate the sacrifice
that love makes when we tryna find our paths in life
but at the same time i feel like a hypocrite
because my love for rap made me do the same sh-t…
i feel like it would hinder our potential
you with your career and me over instrumentals
memory pictures flash back into my mental
as i blast the jackson 5 and reminisce the good times
for you i knew that it would take a little longer
but i knew without me you’d be twenty times stronger
unh—you taught me how to live
and life is a gift and that gift i shall…give
i learned many lessons
i guess it’s my time to reciprocate
and bring you back your blessings yah mean
(chorus)
to you i write this letter
to you i write this letter
i hope it makes you feel better
to you i write this letter
and you i write this letter, unh, yo
to you i write this letter
to you i write this letter
i hope it makes you feel better
to you i write this letter
and you i write this letter, unh
(verse 2)
i know it’s been a while
since i made it home
and sometimes when you call i might miss the phone
its not intentional
but when ya on your own
so much going on you gotta focus on
i love every one of y’all the same
aunties uncles, cousins, sisters and brothers man
i can’t wait for the day that i go back
sit up on the porch and talk about this and that
genuine love is what i lack
and family is the thing that i know to bring it back
it’s kinda like a frozen rose
it looks alive on the outside
inside, metaphorically it dies
to my bro k-rio i know its kinda hard
tryna live ya life right and keep a steady job
i put ya name in the song to keep you headstrong
cause i know its tough not to end up doin wrong
strugglin on the daily streets of palm beach
just cause i’m far away don’t ever think i’m out of reach
besides, a 4 hour drive ain’t that long
and if i ever p-ss away my spirits in this song
my spirits in this song
my spirits in this song…
(chorus)
to you i write this letter
to you i write this letter
i hope it makes you feel better
to you i write this letter
and you i write this letter, unh, yo
to you i write this letter
to you i write this letter
i hope it makes you feel better
to you i write this letter
and you i write this letter, unh
(4x) i often reminisce about the time
when i was yours and you were still mine
it runs through my mind
(2x)
this goes out to you
this goes out to you
this goes out to you, you and you…
waddup fam?
i ain’t forget about ya’ll
you already know
i’m many miles away
best believe
i gotta keep ya’ll in my life
keep the faith, til’ i get back
