Lyrics
[Chorus]
Im writin this letter to all the people who can find it
because the pen an pads the only thing I can confide wit
an maybe when you hear it, you'll know how im feelin
cuz to tell you the truth man I need that deep healin
[verse 1]
It was, October 3rd 1988
first light I would see first breath I would take
wrapped tight, inside my mama's arms
that was my security I was away from the harm
but these days man, I get myself mad at me
I cant ride the metro with out the guy next to me
tryna sell me batteries, it saddens me
cuz even though I say no
a part of me is tellin me to give him some doe
just a guy on the street tryna fill his quota
collectin cans on the street that were filled wit soda
but thats just me, im just sayin how i feel
thats what I see in the streets an it kills me fa real
an im just being honest
So I put it on a track so yall can get on this
wit all of lifes drama it can drive someone crazy
I live as Allah (Suphana Talallah) made me
an one of these days maybe
I can get my mind right, makin my rhymes tight
now im writin by the light, an I keep strivin to fight
night by night, im livin day by day
this is my journal entry as im livin lifes way
[Chorus]
Im writin this letter to all the people who can find it
because the pen an pads the only thing I can confide wit
an maybe when you hear it, you'll know how im feelin
cuz to tell you the truth man I need that deep healin
[verse2]
Now im sittin here writin this an tryin not to loose it
takin all that anger an talent tryna use it
sometimes when im writin I sleep up on the page
dream the tracks out an write it down the next day
This sorta thing really helps when im copin wit stress
my lifes an asthmetic lung, hopin for a breath
but I cant reach out an expect someones hand
to hand me some medication
ima get where im goin, i'll get it through dedication, as im demonstratin
an if you feel me yall, just put your hands up
cuz theres too many rappers on the mic doin stand up
you can feel this runnin through your blood like syringes
im knockin on the door of oppurtunity so hard
man im breakin off the hinges, im litteral
most times even political
same purpose as malcom when he took off the little
freedom from the thing people label you with
so i was enabled a gift that made me able to spit
an released me from my cage
same journal entry, just now a different page
[Chorus]
Im writin this letter to all the people who can find it
because the pen an pads the only thing I can confide wit
an maybe when you hear it, you'll know how im feelin
cuz to tell you the truth man I need that deep healin
[verse 3]
See life is like dancin, cuz theres always a market
an if you stand out then you make yourself a target
an theres bound to be things that you think are retarded
but if you fumble hard then your back where you started
sometimes you got a spot, that'll hold your rope
some got your back an others, nope!
an I aint just talkin, i got a reason to speak
my goal is mount everest and im reachin the peak
multiply my cause by the worlds populatiom
thats like 7 billion reasons to fix the situation
subtract the count of moral inclination
an cuz all the imatations thats a small ass number
does anybody careeee it really makes you wonder
but yes!, theres one motha fucka dats still clappin thunder
p.s. my dad told me not to smoke an he was right
so what i do now is spit fire on the mic, arabflowsta
Sincerely,
Kalam In Nas
