Yo

This is a letter to my future self
You won't admit it but you need some help
You look back at who you really were
You'll have some trouble tryna find the words

It'll sting, it'll probably hurt
I know the problems, they're just getting worse
This is a letter to my future self
You won't admit it but you need some help

So first things first, I really love you, dude
And I'ma need you to go and love yourself too
Every version of you, you been hiding the truth
You been flying the coop, you been stuck in a loop

You've gotten so far from who you really are
So let's bring it back in and we won't stop
Yes, you're a big boy, big man
Strong with your flesh and bone
Nobody will doubt you with the burdens that you face alone

And I know things are getting harder every day
"When does this get easier? " sometimes you pray
I don't have the answers, but I have this to say
The hardest thing you did in therapy was me
So, let it go and be free

This is a letter to my future self
You won't admit it but you need some help
You look back at who you really were
You'll have some trouble tryna find the words

It'll sting, it'll probably hurt
I know the problems, they're just getting worse
This is a letter to my future self
You won't admit it but you need some help

Listen

Man, I can't believe you're still smoking weed
Yeah, I can, after all, you're just older me
And I remember I would tell all of my friends
I'll be smoking in my forties, look, I did it, damn

But all joking aside, I'm fucking proud of you
You followed through, living your dreams
Now show some gratitude
You been getting down, showing battle wounds
Drinking too much like you's an animal
Man, you got a family and they count on you

One more thing I must say to you
You care too much what they think is true
You know where it is you came from
Remember who you are and be proud of what you've done

This is a letter to my future self
You won't admit it but you need some help
You look back at who you really were
You'll have some trouble tryna find the words

It'll sting, it'll probably hurt
I know the problems, they're just getting worse
This is a letter to my future self
You won't admit it but you need some help

Listen
