If I Could Speak To Myself

I left you a note with everything that you need
I hid all the ropes in hopes that you'd feel the breeze and feel the sun
I made sure I watered every single seed
God is hard to reach but if you just believe then she will come
Faith is just the people that you keep around
Your mother's only human, give her grace she'd love to see her son
Try not give her greys, you drive her crazy, when you drink and drive
So please don't drink and drive, you dodged a bullet once
Be the man you want your godson to meet
Be the man you want your brothers to love and your partner to teach
And your father made time because he misses the beach
But most importantly he's missing a piece of him that he sees
Every once in a while not enough and it seems that life is like an opening seam
You grow farther apart, and time is not on your team
The needle drops on the record and tightens us in between
How you got hate in your heart when I give enough love for a feast
Called the hotline once they told me take it with ease
I asked him for his name he said he couldn't release that information
But it gave me relief
My nephew's face it gives me some peace
Dark times, new life, ain't it sweet?
It's 2022, people put their life in a tweet and tik tok times ticking if you asking me
But no one's asking me
The truth is so relative, having a hard time staying relevant
Sedatives, they take it for the hell of it
Who you think is worse? The addict or who selling it?
Anyway, I prefer the liquor when I'm settling in
Sir, would you like a margarita? Yes, that would be heavenly
The weed was easy to cut, the liquor harder and it's not because I need it or none
Just makes it easy to dance, which makes it easy to fuck

And that's my problem, baby that's my problem
That's my problem, baby that's my problem
That's my problem, baby that's my problem
That's my problem, baby that's my problem
