Open Letter Lyrics by Jeff Smith

Fear of a Black Messiah

2019

(Verse One)

It was a Tuesday, April Fools Day, I had the toolie
Anxious to clear a nigga like a bluray
Niggas fear me, my reputation is jacking niggas and catching bodies
No father figure but us niggas loved John Gotti
Limping from the weight of my sawed off shottie
See some niggas gambling in an apartment lobby
I stepped up, click clack, partner I need that
Gimme everything but keep the motherfucking feedback
See y'all got cigars, where the motherfucking weed at?
That's a dope car, where the motherfucking keys at?
Fled the scene in the sucka niggas Expedition
Hit Boldens for a L, and some fried chicken
Getting late, guess I'll head back home
Oh shit that's them niggas I jacked earlier on
They pulled up in a fiend's whip and sprayed the whole strip
In the midst of getting away I caught one in the hip
Hit the ground face down, noticed my stomach full of holes
Then them little niggas walked up and let em all go

(Hook)

They say the good die young and the bad live forever
Until then I'm ready for whatever, it's just my open letter

We all die one day and someday we'll be together
Until then I'm ready for whatever, it's just my open letter

(Verse Two)

Now mama all broken up, emotions are explosive
Cuz people saw it all happen but they don't know shit
But the first ones to hit Facebook and post shit
And stories circulating but most sound bogus
Candlelight vigils in my name, and these dames I banged
Proclaimed I was the realest in the game
But what that really mean when I'm laying in a casket
Six feet deep, flesh eaten by the maggots
Done lots of robberies for money so it's funny
That my fam gotta start an account with Go Fund Me
Not to mention my little man in my girl's tummy
Can't raise from the grave, so likely he'll become me
Left a man's responsibility upon my lady
For living wild, reckless and crazy
But I'll be remembered as a saint in the eyes of my fam
Though I lived not giving a damn, but mannn

(Hook)

They say the good die young and the bad live forever
Until then I'm ready for whatever, it's just my open letter

We all die one day and someday we'll be together...
