LETTERS TO MYSELF Lyrics by Don Cody

THANK YOU FOR LISTENING

2023

Baby boy lemme talk to you
You're gonna go on and do great things
You're gonna fill the world with laughter and smiles
Take advantage of what this life brings
My young king nobody said that it would be easy
It may even tug on your heartstrings
But no matter what obstacles get up in the way
Don't let nobody clip your wings
The kids won't be nice, your schools just won't help
To get things done gon have to do it yourself
You'll spend many teary eyed nights, staring at the ceiling
But you'll have more knowledge than the books on your shelf
Therе won't be any handouts nothing will come naturally
Dreams so high but gеt pulled down from the gravity
And casually you'll pass up making new friends
Just so you can zone out from the world and live inside your fantasy
Even when down the bigger kids will push and shove
When you finally stand back up your goals flying away up with the doves
But keep that chin up high cause you'll forever be above
And that your biggest flex will always be returning with love
Lace up your gloves, this a fight you can win
And what you will accomplish gonna make your mind spin
Remain hungry, remain humble
This is only the intro, now your story begins
Wanna deliver these letters to myself
To keep the tears on my face from burnin (face from burnin)
Maybe this message would help my past self
As a man I keep on learnin (keep on learnin)
Show that I'm deservin (Yeah I'm deservin)
With everything I'm earnin (With everything I'm earnin)
And that my world gone keep on turnin
My young man, lemme spit some game to you
Early 20s gone be far from easy
For every hundred days, you may have one good one
The future is foggy and hard to see
Catch a wind of momentum feel on top of the world
Reality gone knock you to your knees
Gonna wanna give in throw that towel early on
But keep pushin buddy I beg you please
They say nobody been through it, until your pockets are empty
It builds character so you gon experience this plenty
Should win an Emmy, for the smile behind a broke down soul
This is gonna be the face of your entire twenties
You'll put a friendly vibe out, tell everyone your fine
But the thought of tomorrow put chills right down your spine
Stay focused when you notice that your world declines
Because after every storm you know the sun gon shine
So you can stop restlessly lookin for signs
Step over adversity yeah these things don't grow on vines
Plant your foot down so you can go take what's yours
Look into that mirror and say the world gon be mine
Don't let hard times make your mind rot and spoil
Much more life to live then to join your loved ones in the soil
Remain hungry, remain humble
This is only the intro, now the story begins
Wanna deliver these letters to myself
To keep the tears on my face from burnin (face from burnin)
Maybe this message would help my past self
As a man I keep on learnin (keep on learnin)
Show that I'm deservin (Yeah I'm deservin)
With everything I'm earnin (With everything I'm earnin)
And that my world gone keep on turnin
