Qwanye - Letter To My Past Lyrics

What the f*ck I look like quitting, letting that sad nigga down?
He 17, in his closet wantin' to blow his brains out
His girl don't treat him no good and she don't do as she should
Say every day is a fight he just wan' take his own life
But he don't know he the light, manipulated all life
He throw his faith up in Christ but he don't know he a God
Don't understand how he feel trying to express it through the songs
But they just take it as a tune, they don't really know what time he on
He was crying out for help but everybody was Ray Charles
I say youngin' love yourself and one day you'll be livin' large
You don't even need no help, all this junk just for a reason
Walk by faith and not by sight sometimes you might not even see it
Strugglin' to be a man, he got no father in this life
Growing envy for the ones who tell him act like a man, They had a father in their life
But youngin' this that shit that make you different
Nigga go harder cause you had it harder
Your whole life you playin' catch up
Now go so far and make these niggas catch up
That ain't the L that's the lesson if you mess up
Be fully accountable in what you do, live with your chest up
Hold on just say this right now
"All the ones who left up out my life, they won't completing me"
"All the ones who left up out my life wasn't on my frequency"
And all the ones who up who, talkin' down on you cause what they see in you
They see you got a chance to bloom, they tryn' make sure it never happen
Get in your bag, f*ck that shit, matter fact become the baggage
Make a bloody painting from all of the blood on that dagger
That they stabbed you with
Be who you want don't let nobody say who you is
