Dear Baby Me

Dear Baby Hvri

This a message for the kid drinking bubble soap
Watching Elmo’s world
While your parents argue in the kitchen
Using nono words.
You gon’ be alright, that's part of life.
Now your daddy work through the night
So mommy packed bags, got a ride.
Told you, "We’re off to see your grandpa.
I know that you love him right?"
Don't know this now, but that has effects on your mind.
You gon’ grow up to hate your father
Thinking that it's all his fault.
"He walked out on us," is all you heard since you could talk
But don't listen to the noise
Love ya daddy, love ya pops
‘Cuz later on he'll be a staple in ya life
Playa just watch.

Fast forward a couple years
My little champ is super smart.
Tested gifted, you have a blessing
Make sure that it don't get lost.
Schooling gon’ be all mama seems care about
Don't take it hard she cares for you
She just can't really show it now.
Just try your best at all you do
Make sure you always make her smile
‘Cuz if you don't then thats your neck.
Then you'll end up how I am now
All broken down, and secretive, real nonchalant, no care to give
And you don't want that for yourself.

You got an awesome life to live,
I want to know you'll do the things that I wish I would’ve did.
Now if you live life how I did you may still turn out alright.
I'm not a screw up, I’m looked up to, this just isn't my best life.
So make sure that you live it right.
If others hate you then you're fine.
They'll try to label you a monster
Keep your head up don't pay them mind.
Live you life for you, living for others is a crime
‘Cuz once you stop pleasing yourself then all is lost
It's hard to find.
Impossible is not the word, improbable is what describes
The possibility that you’ll get your life back when others control your mind.

This is my message to you
After 18 years of good experience.
Now that you know all this I don't want you to end up here again.
Open up to those who care
Don't be afraid of getting betrayed
By those who've done nothing but pray
And stay inside your corner to this very day.
So that is all young king stay down
Make older Nehemy proud
My whole existence depends on you
All the power's in your hands now.
