Letter to My Pops Lyrics by Lil Zay

Game Time

2020

[Intro]
Ayy
Ayy, they gon' feel me on this one
(Ayy, Boss)
Yup
Ayy
[Chorus]
Ayy, this a letter to my pops, nigga
You told me, "Stay down, they just want you to flop, nigga"
You still gon' be on my side if we don't talk, nigga
You taught me a lot and I can't lie, that shit cost, nigga
Why we just can't get along? Tell me what I'm doin' wrong
I'm my mama middle son, I feel I'm the chosen one
I pray this shit overcome, you can't even pick up the phone
Don't know if I'm dead or gone, plus you know I'm livin' wrong
[Verse]
Livin' sin after sin, I repent, then do it all again
'Cause unc' been gone for ten and they gave him a life sentence
Your blood run through my skin, I'm a hustler, look what I did
I know when I go spin, you gon' spin, nigga, we murder twins
Somebody tell me this ain't true, is it me or is it you?
I'll never hate you after all the shit that we been through
Gotta stay dedicated, I'm underrated, niggas know that I'm the truth
Strivin' to be the greatest, I never hated, I always seek the truth
But what they gon' say when we way up, we way up?
I speak the truth, this shit ain't made up, ain't made up
They steady talkin', but ain't facin' nothin', ain't facin' nothin'
Lord, take this pain away, I'm prayin' for better days, tryna learn from pops' mistakes
(Lord, take this pain away, I'm prayin' for better days, tryna learn from pops' mistakes)
Always be there for your kids
You'll never know which one gon' win
They gon' love you when you ain't got shit
Sometimes I sit and reminisce
'Bout the shit that we did
And all them times we ain't have shit
Why did it have to be like this?
I never thought that we'd end
I made this song until we speak again
(Straight from the soul, don't need no pen
Straight from the soul, no, I don't need no pen)
[Interlude]
I pray the Lord my soul to take
If I should die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take
All the angels watchin' over me
You know, yeah, they don't love you 'til you gone
And they hate you when you on
That's why I had to make this song
[Chorus]
Ayy, this a letter to my pops, nigga
You told me, "Stay down, they just want you to flop, nigga"
You still gon' be on my side if we don't talk, nigga
You taught me a lot and I can't lie, that shit cost, nigga
Why we just can't get along? Tell me what I'm doin' wrong
I'm my mama middle son, I feel I'm the chosen one
I pray this shit overcome, you can't even pick up the phone
Don't know if I'm dead or gone, plus you know I'm livin' wrong
[Outro]
But what they gon' say when we way up, we way up?
I speak the truth, this shit ain't made up, ain't made up
They steady talkin', but ain't facin' nothin', ain't facin' nothin'
