wah-li - letter from my rhyme book lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]

before it all. before the rise or the fall
before an artist says they’re good and they claim to stand tall
before they ball. before the fans at the mall
if you recall as a kid you were starting out small

it’s when you crawled. when you were tearing down walls
frustrated ’cause your software didn’t install
before it all. when you were very enthralled
about spitting rhymes on tapes and just filling up stalls

before it all. before performing at halls
it’s where you got that girls number for your first booty call
before it all. before i felt so appauled
’cause you’ve lost all your morals, you’ve forgotten them all

before your values retired when you hoped to inspire
before, when being heard was your biggest desire
you aspired for greatness before your talents expired
when truth was what you spread right down to the wire. before…

[bridge]

yho! mx, eish! (it’s a letter from my rhyme book)
(it’s a letter from my rhyme book)
it just got delivered, man. yo. (it’s a letter from my rhyme book)
that’s not where it ends. it continues… listen… (it’s a letter from my rhyme book)

[verse 2]

verse 2, i think it’s time to remind you
about your special self and what truly defines you
the essence of your being i can see that you doubtful
this might be hard to swallow coz it is a mouthful

remember all the good times rhyming with me?
when you wrote your first lyric i was happy to see
what could be on future projects and coming cd’s
but now i see your main concern is just sh-gging groupies

all the concepts and all the beautiful content
the progress. the motivational comments
the prospects from just writing a sonnet
it’s nonsense now your words fall out of context

i saw you grow from just mimicking songs
you were learning to flow, you were coming up strong
and your buzz felt like lightyears, but totally wrong
only songs can last for infinity and beyond

[bridge]

as i said man, yo
(i got a letter from my rhyme book)
i just found it there sitting, yeah
(i got a letter from my rhyme book)
i opened it up man. i was surprised at what i saw, yo
(it’s a letter from my rhyme book)
listen to it
(it’s a letter from my rhyme book)

[verse 3]

yo, yo, of course feeling i’m betrayed and also kinda afraid
of your charades and all the previous promises made
it’s delayed. delayed my letter for days
cause it conveyed all the topics that many evade

not to persuade but portray support
to the strayed
remember all the sad nights that your mother had prayed
sister dropping her grades, your father dying of aids
and you got kicked out of school coz your fees were not paid

that’s the reason you rap, to overcome the setbacks
inspire others to grow and not fall in the trap
but the minor success just makes you lose all of that
i’m not tryna fight with you, i’m just stating the facts

p.s. your rhyme book and that’s how it ends
it was addressed to me, the fans and a couple of friends
i wrote this letter to myself in case i ever forgot
and show emcees the right way so they can never get lost

[bridge]

never forget, man. where you come from
(a letter from my rhyme book)
why you started rapping. just try to…. look back at the moments
(a letter from my rhyme book)
yo
(it’s a letter from my rhyme book)
it’s your boy wah-li. peace, i’m out…
(i got a letter from my rhyme book)
