Letter

[Chorus][John Mayer]: I’m writing you to catch you up on places I’ve been And you have this letter probably got excited But there’s nothing else inside it [Verse One] [Rhymefest] All the places I’ve been, people I’ve seen, women I’ve sinned Been a long time since I wrote, my friend They say all good things gotta end How is that? We fam We done been through the thin and the thick Throwing rocks at cop cars when they chase we dipped See at eight, I had my first bag of weight And at nine, we was turned to a life of crime Through it all we was homies Growth and development Bangin' on them niggas with they hats turned the wrong way Then the ghetto life got us involved With the drugs and the alcohol Fuck en all I’m moving out on the first bus – meet me Said “No, Joe – you go, the hood needs me.” I don't know how we arrive here but this block man, I ain’t finna die here [Chorus] [John Mayer]: I’m writing you to catch you up on places I’ve been And you have this letter probably got excited But there’s nothing else inside it [Rhymefest] When they told me you died, I was out in Japan Upset I never said bye to my friend Regrets I felt like I should of went back to the hood to protect you But I knew it was out of my hands We come from nowhere I been to London, Morocco, Cuba, you ain’t even suppose to go there! We from Chi-town You never went past downtown But there’s a whole world past O’hare Yeah, I’m still rhyming Your little brother joined the military He out in Greece on assignment Even Ty moved down south We thought he’d be locked up somewhere on solitary confinement But you can go around the world and back again Same things happening Fiends and crack and then White folks laughin' At the Blacks and Africans Till it’s they child Call up the state now This is the letter I wrote to all the soldiers that fell Holding their guns bustin shots for hope PS. Ask God if he can make some room Cause El Che is finna come there soon Until then [Chorus] [John Mayer]: I’m writing you to catch you up on places I’ve been And you have this letter probably got excited But there’s nothing else inside it
