[00:19.620][Intro]
[00:19.770] Ah-em
[00:20.270]
[00:20.690][Verse]
[00:20.980] Sometimes I feel like I ain't *******
[00:22.930] Sometimes a ******* feel like *******
[00:25.990] Talkin’ 'bout some real life *******
[00:27.790] Goodbye letter, dear life *******
[00:30.750] So if a ******* kill me, hope he mean it
[00:32.810] I just hope I die for a reason
[00:35.710] They probably won't miss me ’til they need me
[00:37.610] Have problems with admitting that they need me
[00:41.180] Have problems with they man then they need me, Lord
[00:44.250] I'm talkin' 'bout some real life *******
[00:45.090] Goodbye letter, dear life *******
[00:46.000] Way too concerned to be conceited
[00:47.050] I live and I learn, then die tryna teach 'em, Lord
[00:50.600] Die tryna reach 'em
[00:52.260] They care more about how much I leave 'em when I leave it
[00:58.380] I hope I leave more of an impression on my kids to be destined to have blessings to believe in, Lord
[01:01.030] Just got off the phone with my son
[01:02.480] Told him, "You a son of a gun"
[01:04.930] Just got off the phone with my daughter
[01:07.740] Told her, "I won't hesitate to ******* a young ******* up"
[01:09.190] Lord, a few ******* left me
[01:12.090] And only got a new ******* elected
[01:14.540] My old ******* was too disrespectful
[01:17.050] And only give my new ******* respect
[01:18.850] That’s power, yes
[01:21.520] So now we’re next
[01:23.370] Can't lie though, I tried though
[01:25.360] I’l die tryin', that's a common death
[01:28.280] We was such a team, we was chasin' our dreams
[01:31.050] Then it stopped, now I’m outta breath
[01:33.310] Now they try to tell me I need rest and I'l find love again, I ain't find it yet
[01:37.960] Oh, but I guess it is what it is
[01:40.830] As it appears, oh *******
[01:43.040] The object in the mirror is more near than it appears, oh *******
[01:47.910] And sometimes I fear who in the mirror
[01:50.780] That ******* weird
[01:52.830] He done died so many times but still here
[01:55.280] Why am I here? Here
[01:58.350] Life
[02:03.150] What is my meaning? My reason?
[02:10.110] Naked ******* really love ones
[02:11.470] Sometimes our loved ones don't love us
[02:14.730] I'm *******' more than I'm makin' love
[02:16.310] Sometimes I make my rubber wear a rubber
[02:19.420] I just tell my lady, "Nothing's easy"
[02:21.740] Even though I make it look easy
[02:24.180] But understand looks are deceiving
[02:26.480] Lookin' like I'm lookin' for some grievance
[02:28.150] 'Cause I been through way too much, don't wanna think about it
[02:29.880] Crank about it, gotta drink about it
[02:30.880] Gotta synchronize it, tranquilize it
[02:32.730] Doctor ain't prescribin' what he ain't realizin'
[02:34.790] Pain inside me got me thinkin' 'bout me
[02:36.290] Tryna hang my body, sanctifyin'
[02:37.880] I'm a gangsta dyin' 'cause all gangsters die
[02:39.380] Can't deny it, you can't take my lion
[02:41.240] I'm a angry lion hangin' by a string
[02:42.750] I can't describe it
[02:44.290] Feel like a anchor tied to my finger
[02:45.550] Got me sinkin' to the bottom of my drink
[02:47.050] I know a lotta *******s think I got a lotta *******s
[02:49.110] There's strength in numbers but there's honor over strength
[02:52.060] I talked to God the other day, he said he got a *******
[02:54.160] So, I look death up in her eye and then I wink
[02:57.330] It's way too real
[02:58.580] The ******* I'm talkin' way way too real
[03:00.230] I hope it gave you chills
[03:01.530] The dirt under your feet could be the grave, you feel
[03:03.190] You don't know how dead you feel until you're dead for real
[03:05.130] Gettin' high after I paid the bill
[03:07.340] Lower than a Navy SEAL
[03:10.770] Show up with them Navy guns
[03:12.210] I hope somebody prayin' for 'em
[03:13.910] Price tag, no mistake, somebody payin' for 'em
[03:16.410] Ice baths, now my face numb, no expression
[03:18.320] What's the life expectancy when you don't expect *******?
[03:20.720] Mama told me, "******* the world and be so aggressive"
[03:23.380] Be so fluorescent, watch these hoes 'cause they so obsessive
[03:25.690] I don't get too high to look over blessings
[03:27.640] Never come in second, make the most of your seconds
[03:29.950] They so precious
[03:31.290] 'Cause if we could buy time every store would sell it
[03:32.990] If you want me to read your mind, need correct spelling
[03:35.200] I keep it real, *******s better keep it copacetic
[03:38.050][?]
[03:40.800] Lookin' in the mirror at the one that know me better
[03:42.950] I was too busy to talk, I wrote an open letter
[03:46.120]
[03:46.480][Refrain]

[04:06.010] Dear life
[04:10.810] What is my meaning? My reason?
[04:15.820] That's the question
[04:17.880]
