Note to Self

Traveled on this dark road, troubles follow me ain't no stopping so I flee
Stumbled in place I know, walked up to a tree that showed me more beyond the green
Found a letter I wrote so long ago. Had to honor what I wrote, shocked to see at what my past just said to say me

Believe young king I wish thee well, go protect yo peace, don't repeat that hell
You once lived. Know this that time you own it, show them folks you won't go unnoticed
Focus energy and emotions on the path the gods have chosen
You avoid commotion, ain't about no gloating but gotta make noise to show em that you go in

Go head make that impact for those that's just not sure how to fight back
Up to you to lead that's big facts, but you see it as set back
Probably, gotta be, annoying on the mental. Look to the stars, no signs with a clear view
Quit faking your smiles you know what go through
Avoiding expressing to people that know you, helped you to grow to
A king that is hopeful, yet the battles they broke you
Few sought to consult you, can't figure your virtue
What's worse in ya face, is knowing it's all true
But yet you chose to

Go head runaway, be about yo way
Who cares what they say, nah man don't play
You can focus on the tarnish that brings damage on the brain
Or you can stand on your hardships that me write this to say
You are the man, forget the ones that keep knocking
Knowing that you on one and stay humble never flaunt it

Cause it ain't about the size of the castle that you bought
It's about the strides you made with all the battles you fought
Do more than what squire does, go lift up who admires ya
Chill out young king, you got plenty of time head don't try to rush
Do this for ya family, ya know they watching you
Do this for ya queen, she staying close to you
Do this for ya people, you know they cheering fool
But do this for yourself, so you can see it too

Had to honor what I wrote, glad to see at what my past just had to say to me
Back to my kingdom I go, found some peace that gave a sense of security
When I get back I know. I'll be better than before, cause I believed in who I'd be a long time ago
