Souleye - Letter To The Old Me (feat. Big Samir & Main Flow)

This is a letter to the old me
My mind has elevated
My body has been developed
I fell and learned to walk
And stand up on my own
I've got the patience of a lion
While he's stalking his prey
My son asked me
If heaven was make believe
I told him it's a metaphor
Can't drain the sea
Lots of stuff going on
Let me hold you strong
Calm you down when you are
Feeling anxiety
I lower the tone in my voice
Tune in to what my body needs
Inviting me quietly to
Put the fire out
Or keep stoking it
Daily focus on staying open
And in my heart
Art be my guide
This a letter to the old me
Way way before
If we all started from one
What a righteous feeling
Open pathways
To take place
Allow grace
To embrace
I see God on your face
This is a letter to the old me
The future self
The inner child
I am here to help
Put my mind on the moment
Fill it with love
Hold it
Stand strong
The opportunity
Is unfolding
This is a letter to the old me
The future self
The inner child
I am here to help
Put my mind on the moment
Fill it with love
Hold it
Stand strong
The opportunity
Is unfolding
Melodious marvel
Mysterious traveler
Bashful introvert
Fearless popular
Never wanted half this attention
Spoke my truth to power
Rider with ambition
Made it past their expectations now I lead the way
Take far beyond and stay thankful
Ready for success and the painful side effects
Far from perfect, live by example
No time to chase or follow
I'm too busy healing for a better tomorrow
Looking to advance we not promised a second chance
Use my simple magic to spread life, health and wellness
Also my platform for reform and justice
Reflect on the past, nurture the unborn
So glorious and radiate brightly
Stay focus and create precisely
Silent movement, mostly heard over music
Bigfoot legendary, everything is possible you know my history
This is a letter to the old me
The future self
The inner child
I am here to help
Put my mind on the moment
Fill it with love
Hold it
Stand strong
The opportunity
Is unfolding
This is a letter to the old me
The future self
The inner child
I am here to help
Put my mind on the moment
Fill it with love
Hold it
Stand strong
The opportunity
Is unfolding
Congratulations we graduated
And made it out of the class
And our future hard work
Got traded for the cash
Contemplated with my last
Never waited on a glass
And I knew that we would make it
Like I stated in the past
Know I'm back around
When you see the cracking ground
Lacking crowns
Martin Luther King
About the black and brown
Mapping towns
Studios trapping sound
Got the rapping down
Graduated with cap and gown
You couldn't dream this
While you and your team wish
To be cleanest
And slick as a seamstress
I took mean risk
You've never seen this
Four point O
And at the top of the dean list
It's hard to break a chief
For the sake of keef
When I awake to beef
I'm sharper than shape of teeth
It's gonna take thief
Bright than a maple leaf
We set are sights for stars
No longer make belief
This is a letter to the old me
The future self
The inner child
I am here to help
Put my mind on the moment
Fill it with love
Hold it
Stand strong
The opportunity
Is unfolding
This is a letter to the old me
The future self
The inner child
I am here to help
Put my mind on the moment
Fill it with love
Hold it
Stand strong
The opportunity
Is unfolding
