Dear Past

Staring through the rearview
Of my life and
Watching every person place and event, yes I see ya I do
Don't believe that I could hear me
Even if I scream but it's alright
Thinkin bout this crazy thing called life
Simply tryna send ya back my light and love
Dear Past

Send this back to that which is ever lasting
Sure tellin' sign, what you seein' is only passin'
Only lasting in mind, till ya get wise and find
That these struggles at the bottom make us stronger to rise
We live longer and grind
Walk right over tha slime
Now I ponder what I ever even doubted at times
Wonder if over thinkin the how had over scaled the why
Now that time is over, you've grown right into ya prime
Cuz we never fail at this, only fail to quit
And when those chips are lookin down
You ain't foldin' for shit
You'll take some swing that you'll miss
Yet time keeps movin' so swift
Stay believin' in your battin', you gon knock out some hits
Be convinced, what you're workin' towards gets clearer in time
Movin' forward, to ever nearin' goal
Stay walkin' the line
And since I know we gonna make it, through the darkest of skies
I beam ya back these lines of kindness
From a future we aligned, through the rearview

Staring through the rearview
Of my life and
Watching every person place and event, yes I see ya I do
Don't believe that I could hear me
Even if I scream but it's alright
Thinkin bout this crazy thing called life
Simply tryna send ya back, so send me back
Dear Past

As I look back
On the periled path, the treacherous track
Full of haters and wrath
I admit that periodically I wanted to tap
Sincerely thought that in some moments all my life was a trap
Them phony people and fake friend
So sly when they rude
Feel like a blade in tha back
When they get self righteously crude
Still don't go actin' a fool
Choose to copy they tude
They assumption may be skewed but they know not what they do
You'll move on to better morrow
Shed the sorrow that ensues
Because you strong don't wait too long
Sadness won't wait on no cue
I suggest, on the quest expect a struggle or two
And when ya reach the top bet
It was well worth the view
I promise you this, we will win
Due to the fact that we'll never lose
Stay progressin' to success
Keep that vision in view
Don't see it as a painful price
Simply payin' yo dues
And know I'm smilin' back from here while watchin you
Through the rear... view

Of my life and
Every person place and event, yes I see you I do
I don't believe that I could hear me
But it's alright
Thinkin bout this crazy thing called life
Simply tryna send ya back
So send me back

So understand if nothin else
That yes ya can
Know it don't matter the chances
When rightly playin' your hand
In a world of sleepin' people
Don't lay down, go take a stand
World is lackin' perseverance
Got reserves on demand
And I can't tell you for sure
If your path was a plan
But I'll tell you this
Betta take yo chance when ya pick a path on the map
Keep walkin' tall right through it all
Reach your summit at last
I send this message with my promise and love
Back to my own dear past

Dear Past
The rearview of my life, Woah
Rearview of my
Every step, fall, every regret
I see you now, send you love
You are blessed
