Dear History

Yea
It's from the future me to the Past me
Dear History

For the ones wasting my time
I'm redirecting my energy
Friends remain friends they enemies are my enemies
Time never stops and history will be history
Promise me one thing that you'll always remember me
Remember me that you'll always remember me
Remember me that you'll always remember me

Dear history I know you goin' mirror me
Talk behind my back and start distorting all my memories
But as long as I can see as long as I can breathe
I'm taking care of me so always remember me
Me i'm an open book pages whittled and overlooked
King castling all the rooks dream catching we all are crooks
Day dreaming was all it took pen inking made all the hooks
On stage to get all the looks hah
Look at me now that same wanna be down
Nigga kicking rhymes at open mics and bussin freestyles
Passion still inside of me I feel I cannot renounce
There's nothing better than grabbing the mic
And i'm puttin it down as I bleed out
Gimme me the key now
Gatekeepers I see now they tone deaf or they senile
Trending topics on twitter feeds drop one single then be out
The game structure they cleaned out.
Want me to fit in that mold get in that mode
I'm letting them know count me out.

For the ones wasting my time
I'm redirecting my energy
Friends remain friends they enemies are my enemies
Time never stops and history will be history
Promise me one thing that you'll always remember me
Remember me that you'll always remember me
Remember me that you'll always remember me

Dear history I know your goin' mirror me
Just Looking back in time and I'm just staring at the bitter me
Where agony meets misery the shy and always timid me
Scared to speak my mind because I cared bout what u think of me
Would literally not say what's on my mind
I was working on these hits like instant chemistry
Divine art of symmetry
Creative mind they thought I need amphetamines and so did I
Bouncing off of walls and hitting overdrive I'm so alive
So many scared to live we die inside get 9 to 5's
Chasing petty dollar signs forgetting who we idolize to be
How many of us really are who we thought we'd be
Fulfilling all our dreams or we just settlin'
Victim of surroundings and our elements
Fighting with ourselves we too intelligent beyond a measurement
But they treat us like a sediment a particle a severance
I fight for what I stand for or lights out Edison

For the ones wasting my time
I'm redirecting my energy
Friends remain friends they enemies are my enemies
Time never stops and history will be history
Promise me one thing that you'll always remember me
Remember me that you'll always remember me
Remember me that you'll always remember me

Dear history I know you goin' mirror me
I may not make much sense to you but deep inside it's everything
Channeling my darkest thoughts
The opus in my minds resort
The focus of my childish thoughts
I'm older and I'm wise of course
Think, but not to hold the thought
I'm hiding thoughts inside of thoughts
I thought I spread it so I thought
I never did I overthought
Forgot so much along the course
Shit I done broke a lot of laws
Did some things I wasn't proud of and showed my remorse
Ignoring all the father talks
Now I make the father talks.
A father gotta keep his daughters safe from all the carnivores
Checks I wanna sign em all
But never too busy for family
Always making sure I answer all of mama's calls
Respect is not expected but neglect it you fall
The non-believers quick to crucify and give you the cross
Of course the allure of life
Got you thinking all the wrong is right
And right is wrong to right but life is all a fight
