Текст песни Note to Self - KMC

May this letter remain planted
Until its originator is ready to grow
Sincerely, Seydou
Could it be?

Traveled on this dark road
Trouble follows me, ain't no stopping so I flee
Stumbled in a 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 had to say to me
Believe, young king, I wish thee well

Go protect your peace, don't repeat that hell you once lived
Know this the 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 you gotta make noise to show them that ya go in
Go ahead, 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 that as a big setback
Probably gotta be annoying on the mental

Look to the stars, no signs with a clear view
Quit faking your smiles, you know what you go through
Avoiding expressing to people that know you
Helped you to grow to a king that is hopeful

Yet battles they broke you
Few sought to consult you
Can't figure your virtue whats worse in yo face is
Knowing that it's all true, boy, yet you choose to

Go ahead, run away
Be about your way
Who cares what they say
Nah man, don't play

You can focus on the tarnish that brings damage on your brain
Or You can stand on your hardships
That made me write this to say
You are the man

Forget the ones that kept on knocking
Knowing that you on one
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 that you fought
Do more than what a squire does
Go lift up who admires ya

Chill out young king
Got plenty of time ahead
Don't try to rush
Do this for your family

You know they watching you
Do this for your queen
She's staying close to you
Do this for your 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 that 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
Found a letter a wrote
