Statues - Open Letter

Listen
Can I ask you a question
Is there a lesson that I can learn in life
How can I earn my stripes
If I keep messing up things that's a blessing
Now that I burned my life more like a burned it twice
I try to raise my daughter to live life with no fear
Keep my family bros goals and hopes near
While things change everything stays the same
I don't point fingers in shame or aim to blame
Shit I was working two jobs working fifty hours plus
Me and your momma putting food on the table cause it's a must
I never sold drugs I never gang banged
But there was a time or two where daddy had to pull out the pistol
Never said that I was perfect nobody is
I work my fingers to the bone knuckle hard like stones
And if you ever listen to this kid
Just know I love you and you'll never be alone
Soon daddy will be home I love you
This is a letter to you all
This is a letter that's calling my name yeah
This is a letter to you all
This is a letter that's calling my name yeah
This is a letter to you all
This is a letter that's calling my name yeah
This is a letter to you all
This is a letter that's calling my name yeah
One time for them YN Rich Kids
Two times for them north side poor guys
If I took your advice
I'd probably be sitting with CTE court side
Life is a short ride
Money and respect isn't worth dying
But I'll be damned if I don't deserve mine
The way I make these words line up I should serve time
Strapped to the face of the earth flying
As I wind around the galaxy
I'm sad to see little ones crying
I do my part and try my best to impart
Wisdom in my words to let the love out of my heart
Wishing that I could restart
Made some mistakes in my day
But they made me harder
Got that much more to teach to my sons and daughters
One day I want to be a father
So I pray to Allah begging that he makes me smarter
I've taken on an aura that can only take me farther
So with my lips I leave this sacred gift upon the altar
This is a letter to you all
This is a letter that's calling my name yeah
This is a letter to you all
This is a letter that's calling my name yeah
This is a letter to you all
This is a letter that's calling my name yeah
This is a letter to you all
This is a letter that's calling my name yeah
