Lil B — Letter To The Family

[Intro] This is a letter to my family I wanna share with y'all I feel this is very important Sometimes I lose track of my own life I get too deep into music Sometimes I even love music more than myself, my own body That's when things become unhealthy [Verse 1] This is a letter to my family I swear I love y'all My communication lack I take slack and bash myself For being stuck in the trap A self induced coma that I put myself through Expect everyone to know When you don't speak, it's hard to grow I know I'm young, but I think I'm grown Even though I'm grown, I understand that you're close to home And all I gotta do is pick up the phone Making a call to show we both on the same page, sailing on the same boat We bled so it's no animosity, only hope To see us in paradise, that's my biggest dream Off all our hard work put together 'cause we a team This is my family Family I really love you I don't know what to say about my problems I sometimes get stuck in my own life And put music before anything Even myself I hope that's not the death of me [Verse 2] Family, you be there even with no money I know we all judge My job forces me to feel like I'm Superman I have to save the day, but I need to save myself Love my uncles and my aunts, my grandmother Father, cousins, grandfather, distant relatives Brothers and sisters, half of me is you I'm sorry for my neglecting My father neglected He tried to show love, I couldn't accept it I don't know what a man is I look in the mirror, a reflection of a puzzle Will I be puzzled by the final pieces? All I know is my family got my back Watch me grow before I knew how old This addiction... I don't wanna say that... This is a dedication song to you, family Without your love, none above Sad that the drugs tear things apart Now I gotta be a man and start my life again Not over, re-blossom from the bottom Make it to the sun I love you Family, we are one [Outro] I understand that I don't know how to be a man I understand that I need to pick up the phone It hurts me more than anybody It hurts me to be alone Knowing that I don't have to be Knowing that I have people who love me And that would drop anything for me My family has always been like that And I love you guys I continuously beat myself up Help me with love, help me with strength Help me with motivation, help me with courage This is to my family, we are all one unit I made this song for you to know that You're one of the most important things in my life If not, the most important I had to express it over music This is the only way that this message will last forever Family, we are one
