Lyrics and translation
Original
Uh.
Yeah. I wrote a letter to my younger self I wish that I read.
Told him, "If you readin' this, I hope you get out your head.
" Told him, "You got heart, one day it's gon' get ripped out your chest.
" Told him, "Love is like a stain, I pray you get out the mess. " Told him, "Silence ain't a loss, it's all a part of the game.
Trauma built to make you different, but it's hard to explain.
And pride is like a drug that you suffer in vain.
Sometimes revenge can feel sweet, but it come with the pain. And not everyone in your circle's gon' run through the rain.
And even if your loyalty's gold, it don't come with a chain.
" Told him, "All the scars gon' fade, but the lessons remain.
And even if you carry that weight, don't carry the blame. " I told him, "All the ones you put first might slide to the ghost.
And the humble niggas in the room really be dyin' to boast.
" I say, "Your purpose ain't numbers that be tied to a post.
And any nigga who say you can trust him be lyin' the most. "
Uh.
I told him, "Heartbreak gon' hit, but it won't be the end.
Never tap into that shit that push you over the edge.
When you make it out that pit, just don't forget what they did.
Just don't forget what they did.
Just keep it goin', keep on holdin' your head.
And when the smoke disappears just like most of your friends, I hope this reach you before hell keep on ropin' you in. "
I wrote this letter to my younger self.
You a blessing made for somethin' else.
Remember, God is love and love is wealth.
Just know that one day you gon' touch the world.
I wrote a letter to my younger self.
That you a blessing made for somethin' else.
Remember, God is love and love is wealth.
And know that one day you gon' touch the world. I wrote a letter to my younger self I wish that I read.
Hope he read it in the mornin' 'fore he get outta bed.
Told him, "One day you'll be rich enough to get outta debt. Give the world to your family, they won't live on the edge.
" I told him, "Niggas gon' make fun of your ADHD.
But you gon' turn that into millions, somethin' they just can't see.
You gon' be the voice of all the kids who got the same dream. Use your voice like a flower 'til they plant the same seed.
I know the wins gon' feel strange when you build 'em alone.
And all the applause is like a crib that don't feel like a home.
They don't understand you now, but one day you'll be on. You'll be the greatest in the world when you conquer the throne.
Keep your focus on the climb, not the place you begin.
And every scar that you earn got a lesson within.
" I wish I read this letter before hell was ropin' me in, but it's too late, so now I guess I'll give this shit to my kids.
I wrote this letter to my younger self.
You a blessing made for somethin' else. Remember, God is love and love is wealth.
Just know that one day you gon' touch the world.
