Letterman Lyrics

Hard times don't last forever

Keep going!

And no one owes you anything

Except for yourself.

Be better, man

(Keep Going!)

I been feeling like a freshman making varsity and I just got the letterman

Used to be shy cause my accent, high pitch voice, speech impediment

Been to hell and back so many times with the message with

I'm heaven sent but lately I been so damn hesitant

Surrounded by bare minimum, give a little, pessimists

Closed off some relatives, swear I tried to let them in

I was passive aggressive then

Music and social media was only way to express the shit

Man enough to say sometimes it was on some messy shit

So nonchalant now you would think I'm on some sedatives

Ashamed of how alcohol and weed became my medicine

I know I have a spark, been wired in, I'm on some electric shit

As the nucleus, electrons try to take you out your element

Even if you surrounded by all the negatives

Start seeing all of the envy and jealousy

A Young King really made a come up off of his peasant tricks

Know I gotta represent, no politics

Used to hold grudges but I'm off the shit

Karma be at they neck, coming full circle like a collar did

I remember working at Sonic late for some dollar tips

I remember drumming, just praying to just to keep my scholarships

Trying to achieve the goals that my mother and my father set

The next time you see me

Hold Me, (Need You to Hold Me)

I need you to hold me

(Next time you hold me)

Cause I'm not me

I'm not me

I'm not me

Be a better man

(Write another Letter, Man)

And I been feeling like a freshman making varsity and I just got a letterman

Used to doubt myself but now it's definite

This the stage of the journey where the lessons hit

I been making a comeback, I been fighting off a deficit

No longer tip-toeing around the feelings that are delicate

New hoes been begging to have a connection with

Me, saying that I should be way more affectionate

Most of my feelings have been buried in the sediment

Highly selective with the women that I'm sexing with

I been moving on, but still focused on my destiny

Hmm.

Don't beat around the bush, more direct with it

Feeling like a Post Office, these males I been addressing shit

Used to have the guns blazing, now I keep the weapon hid

No longer wasting energy on things that are irrelevant

No longer take advice from people who be embellishing

Been to hell and back so many times, I owe the Devil rent

Seen the grace of God so many times, I let the blessings sit

Counted and ruled out so many times, check your measurements

Seen what you been working on, mhmm, that shit is embarrassing

They see my new confidence and take it as me arrogant

You think you something special, well bitch, I am a specialist

If you put me down, gas me up, like a pedal bitch

Creative and intelligent

Got me writing verses,

Sounding like the (Next time you see me) New Testaments

I'll lay all the chips down on me if I have to bet on it (Hold Me)

I play the hand I was dealt and my lucky number 7 bitch

(Need you to hold me) when Darkness and Depression hit

I ain't talking cause (cause I'm not me)

Ain't no bonus package coming (I'm not me) with this severance

I just go ahead-- oh nah

Keep Going

Keep Going

Sincerely, (write another Letter, Man) Silas
