Open Letter Lyrics By Lil Wayne

    ahem

    sometimes i feel like i ain’t shit
    sometimes a nigga feel like shit
    talkin ’bout some real life shit
    goodbye letter dear life shit
    so if a nigga kill me hope he mean it
    i just hope i die for a reason
    they probably won’t miss me til they need me
    have problems with admittin’ that they need me lord
    i’m talkin’ ’bout some real life shit
    goodbye letter dear life shit
    way too concerned to be conceited
    i live and i learn then die tryna teach ’em lord
    die tryna reach ’em
    they care more about how much i leave than
    where i leave it
    i hope i leave more of an impression on my kids
    to be destined to have blessings to believe in lord
    just got off the phone with my son
    told him you’re a son of a gun
    just got off the phone with my daughter
    told her i wont hesitate to fuck a young nigga up lord
    a few bitches left me that only got a new bitch elected
    my old bitch was too disrespectful
    and only get my new bitch respected
    thats power yes it’s now or next
    cant lie though i tried though
    i’ll die tryin’ that’s a common death
    we was such a team we was chasin our dreams
    then it stopped now i’m outta breath
    now they try to tell me i need rest
    and i’ll find love again i ain’t find it yet
    oh but i guess it is what it is as it appears oh shit
    the object in the mirror is more near than it appears oh shit
    and sometimes i fear who in the mirror that nigga weird
    he done died so many times but still here why am i here

    dear life
    what is my meaning my reason

    naked bitches really love ones
    sometimes our loved ones don’t love us
    i’m fuckin’ more than i’m makin’ love
    sometimes i make my rubber wear a rubber
    i just tell my lady nothing’s easy
    even though i make it look easy
    but understand looks are deceiving
    lookin’ like i’m lookin’ for some grievance
    ’cause i been through way too much don’t wanna think about it
    cranky ’bout it gotta drink about it
    gotta synchronize it tranquilize it
    doctor ain’t prescribin’ what he ain’t realizin’
    pain inside me got me thinkin’ ’bout me
    tryna hang my body sanctifyin’
    i’m a gangsta dyin’ ’cause all gangsters die
    i can’t deny it you can’t tame my lion
    i’m a angry lion hangin’ by a string i can’t describe it
    feel like a anchor tied to my finger
    got me sinkin’ to the bottom of my drink
    i know a lotta niggas think i got a lotta niggas
    there’s strength in numbers but it’s honor over strength
    i talked to god the other day he say he got a nigga
    so i look death up in her eye and then i wink
    it’s way too real the shit i’m talkin’ way way too real
    i hope it gave you chills
    the dirt under your feet could be the grave you fill
    you don’t know how dead you feel ’til you’re dead for real
    gettin’ high after i paid the bill lower than a navy seal
    show up with them navy guns i hope somebody prayin’ for ’em
    price tags no mistakes somebody payin’ for ’em
    ice bath when my face numb no expression
    what’s the life expectancy when you don’t expect shit
    mama told me fuck the world and be so aggressive
    be selffluorescent watch these hoes ’cause they so obsessive
    don’t get too high to look over blessings
    never come in second make the most of your seconds
    they so precious
    ’cause if we could buy time every store would sell it
    if you want me to read your mind need correct spelling
    i keep it real niggas better keep it copacetic
    where the weed i feel like i’m gettin’ a sober headache
    lookin’ in the mirror at the one that know me better
    i was too busy to talk i wrote an open letter

    dear life
    what is my meaning my reason
    that’s the question i ask the reader god bless the reader
    dear life what is my meaning my reason
    that’s the question

    jacida carter
    you know when he told me toya was havin’ a baby i say y’all young you know y’all young but i said be the best father you can be you know and truly he is that
