Told him, "Silence ain't a loss, it's all apart of the game (yeah) Trauma built to make you different, but it's hard to explain And pride is like a drug that you suffer in vain Sometimes, revenge can feel sweet, but it come with the pain

And not every one of your circles gon' run through the rain And even if your loyalty's gold, it don't come with a chain" (yeah) Told him, "All the scars gon' fade, but the lessons remain And even if you carry that weight, don't carry the blame"

I told him, "All the ones you put first might slide to their ghost" And I humble niggas in the room really be dyin' to boast (yeah) I say, "Yo' purpose ain't numbers that be tied to a post And any nigga who say you can trust him be lyin' the most" (uh, yeah)

I told him, "Heartbreak gon' hit, but it won't be the end (uh) 'Nother chapter to that shit to push you over the edge And when you make it out that pit, just don't forget what they did (forget what they did) Just don't forget what they did Just keep it goin', keep on holdin' yo' head (yeah) And when the smoke disappears, just like most of your friends I hope this reach you before Hell keep on ropin' you in" (uh)

I told him, "Niggas gon' make fun of yo' ADHD But you gon' turn that into millions, somethin' they just can't see You gon' be the voice of all the kids who got the same dream Use your voice like a flower 'til they plant the same seed

Keep your focus on the climb, not the place you began And every scar that you earn got a lesson within" I wish I read this letter before Hell was ropin' me in But it's too late, so now I guess I'll give this shit to my kids (uh)
