Ayy, ayy, listen close I'm about to revisit a real scene
My girl's a different person from times that you've intervened
And times that you've told her she wasn't shit
You played a little too hard with her, almost witnessed her quit
That was the darkest month I've ever lived, yeah
I tried to put it behind us
Scars on her wrist to remind us, of what was soon to be
If I could meet you live I'd fight you one on one just you and me
I'll take off all my jewelry and show you how a nigga get down
I'm from St Louis, what's up with the kid
Took her from peacefully gettin' rest to a hospital bed
My baby girl is dyin' and it's killin' me
Overprotective I get it
It's been instilled ever since I watched her explain to me
All the shit that her parents ain't know
Ever since seein' her cry just became the regular, no
I tried my hardest to keep her straight and her head on right
But in the process of doin' so I be losin' mine
Wanna see her shine
But when you come around you soak up all the sunlight out her eyes
Take the smile off her face and take the color out her sky
Just to hear a child tell me fuck a life I'd rather die
There's some shit that I can't explain if I tried and I try a lot
So if I, start to cry that means I'm cryin' for you
So don't you worry about a thing I put my life before you
And don't go runnin' from your past I'm here, so I support you
When bullets fly and you don't bleed, just know I took it for you
My letter to you
And there's no hate in my eyes
Sometimes I try to let it go, yeah, yeah
And when you see me tell me, yeah, look, do you see pain, yeah, in my eyes
Or do you think I've let it go, yeah, yeah
Should I let it go
Now here you got this seventeen year old boy, he started writin' music
Well he's been writin' since a youngin' but he never used it
He went from writin' bout his day and how he does in schoolin'
To talking' bout his little girl because she been goin' through it
Talkin' bout her sadness and how her health been spiraling down
On top of that he liked to write, his friends would call him a clown
On top of that ain't, feel accepted when he walked in his house
Add on to that, the world is burnin' him out
And now he's doubtin' if his family even care about the shit he likes to do
Bashed him when he said he rapped, they told him take a different route
These things can hurt when you just tryna be you
He's still dealin' with the repercussions
From seeing the sadness from his girl as he saw her mind go numb
Not many people that young should witness a time so dark
And neither parent was aware of what was up with their son
Not people that age should witness that kind of change, he was done
Finally said fuck it he gon' go on home and fix it himself
He needed answers but his mind wasn't with it
His head spinnin' like what the fuck is goin' on with my life
If I go this way then I'm wrong, if I go this way then I'm still wrong
I don't get it, God tell me if this might be my last and final minutes
With these pills and the sun through the shade is the only witness
All he wants is some forgiveness and peace, now he's hand shakin' his knees and
His knees and his hands shakin', ah, shit nice
Now his phone blowin' up three rings no answer
A text still no answer, its eating at him like cancer
His mother calls and he finally gets it
She like, baby, put 'em down are you crazy just sit down this is crazy
His heart speedin', it's racin'
This room small but he's pacin'
A smile falls from his face
And his father on the way home while his sister shook to the bone
His hand still holdin' the phone but before you heard his last breath he was gone
Letter to you
He died that night, yeah
And the killer still loose, still lurkin', a silent weapon
It's just somethin' that the police can't catch and that's depression
So I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I think I have to let it go
When you see me tell me
Tell me
Do you see pain in my eyes
Or do you think I let it go
I let it go
