Note To A Younger Me Lyrics

Uh

Yeah

I'm done with all this pain music

Sick of all these sad songs

I remember going through it

Prayed it wouldn't last long

Life was hitting back to back to back

It kept on adding on

Had some niggas stab me in my back

I learned to be alone

Note to a younger me

You got everything you need

It's not your job to save the world

Sometimes, you gotta let it be

I know your phone buzzing

But this time you need to let it ring

Boy, you only human

You gone see you can't do everything

And when you hit thirteen

You gone learn to be a man

Dad gone have a stroke

And ain't gone never be the same again

You gone have to deal with it

Take some time to take it in

It's gone be okay

Learning that lesson

Is the greatest win

Teaching dad his ABC's

Relearning his 1,2,3's

At the same time that

My brother T was barely 3

6 months later

Mom was talking getting surgery

Told us she had breast cancer

Probably cried myself to sleep

Can't even remember

So much shit done happened since

After mom was diagnosed

Her mother's soul was heaven sent

Cherish every day together

Cause time came and then it went

Started losing trust in doctors

Way too many accidents

Like how the fuck you kill my grandma

And lose all the evidence

Rumor is they burned the paperwork

Y'all got my family bent

Took our heart and soul away

But they don't care bout what she meant

Only thing that's on their mind

Is protecting dollars and cents

Fast forward years later

Made my way to university

Freshman year

Thinking bout my childhood

Was hurting me

Growing up

I never learned to cope with these emergencies

Dealing with these feelings started

Feeling like the worst to me

I needed a distraction

Started working nonstop

You trynna make it happen

Lil me but don't know the cost

Trust me, it was all worth it

What I'm bout to tell you

Probably gone make you a little nervous

But it's leading to your purpose

When you turn 18

You gone have to fight the biggest demons you done faced yet

This is when you started having seizures

And they say it's stress

That, plus anxiety and trauma

Pushed you off the edge

Now the best thing you can do

Is go and get your rest

Thank me for it later

Be careful with this medicine

I know they said to take it

But that shit is still addictive

Even though they hate to say it

Hospitals don't got the cure for your disorder

So they fake it

And ease up on that liquor and that weed that keep you faded

Can't run from these emotions

You gone have to learn to face it

Yeah I know it's hard as hell

And it's gone feel like you can't take it

I mean, that's just what it takes

Trust me, I know you gone make it

Matter fact you made it on your own

In your first apartment out in PG

Cheapest rent available

The opposite of greedy

Needed something stable

Got a job with a salary

Fired in the pandemic

Shit was a catastrophe

Brought me to reality

Full survivor mode

Start producing for the plug

The whole neighborhood was sold

Everyday I had em in and out the home studio

Everything was off the top

DMV niggas is cold

Why they had to switch on me

Thankful it was hands and they

Ain't pull the switch on me

Success is my revenge

Cause today them niggas either

Dead, down, or locked up

I ain't call police on 'em

I just went and bossed up

Started teaching music

Job of my dreams

Out in VA

Make sure that the radio put all of this on replay

Always been special

Yeah

It's something in the water

So you really just a vessel

And that's why you never settle

You gone be like this forever

You was raised in the 75

Made in it

I know they wish you stayed in the 7 but

Uh

I'll never do the devil's dance

I could never sell my soul

Nigga, I'm from Western Branch

Nigga, I'm from

I'm from VA

Yeah Virginia that's where we stay

Virginia that's where we raised

We the greatest in the world yeah
