Kaos Lost Angels - Letter to Ty (Think Big) Lyrics

Now listen up son I never was perfect
But every bad thing I went through it was worth it
Easily love you more than I love myself
If I could take away your pain I don't care about my health
Sometimes the pain in your life gives you purpose
You're a king Tyler James, you'll never be worthless
You can listen to your Pops any trouble in your life
Cuz when I thought that I was blinded you're the one that gave me light
I felt that I was all wrong, you're the one that made me right
When I just wanted to give up, you're the one that made me fight
Live life with no regrets try and do what you love
And if you're lucky in your life you'll find that one true love
Being a man is recognizing what you stand for
Be down for what you believe in withstand any downpour
And this music it ain't all about success
Just trying to drop some knowledge before they lay me down to rest
Now this is just a letter to Ty my only Son
Cuz one of these days I'm gonna be kissing the sky
No lie, my voice is eternal it'll never die
Always dropping jewels to you man in every single line
When you're older, probably have to pause go and rewind
Gonna have to listen to it a few more times
Sometimes, I may have just kept it too real
But that's just the way that I feel
I'm back like I never left, they mad like I stole something
Life is a constant test, these trolls always stay fronting
Daddy made a few mistakes, always tried to lose the fake
View the snakes, sometimes it's more than any dude can take
And every action can seal your fate
Life is more chess than checkers, two moves ahead of every move they make
Trick is, live everyday like it's your last
Take calculated risks try not to think about the past
But at the same time, keep one eye focused on the future
Never thought I'd see 21, eyed by the shooters
Find beauty in the world cuz beauty is the nectar
And nectar in the desert saves souls that's misdirected
Independence is a virtue but it's a big cold world
Travel to every corner and marry a pretty girl
Have a little boy sit him down maybe you say
Let me tell you something that my Pops told me one day
Now this is just a letter to Ty my only Son
Cuz one of these days I'm gonna be kissing the sky
No lie, my voice is eternal it'll never die
Always dropping jewels to you man in every single line
When you're older, probably have to pause go and rewind
Gonna have to listen to it a few more times
Sometimes, I may have just kept it too real
But that's just the way that I feel
Sometimes as a man you gotta take it on the chin
It's so easy to lose, much harder to win
The two most important days you have in your life
The day you were born, the day you figure out why
Try to be the change that you want to see in others
Your brothers are your brothers stay down for one another
To plant a seed, is to believe in your future
Cultivate, educate, elevate your crew up
Huh? Ok Dad
Hold Up!
Ok, I'm listening
Pressure creates diamonds struggle no progress
Clean up your own messes, hoping that God bless
So hang on for dear cuz life it's a rough ride
No fear in my eyes seen a lot of you tough guys
No tears in my eyes even though it's a rough life
No cheers and no lies when you out of the spotlight
Know that the biggest stars cast the biggest shadows
And if you ever feel the whole world is against you just know that Dad knows..
