Текст песни MEMO (feat. Samuellimàta) - Kota the Friend , Samuellimàta

New day, new dollar, I'm makin' change
I leverage all of my knowledge and profit off of my pain
I copped a deserted island and kept it far from the rain
I noticed nothin' was growing, and then it went up in flames
Livin' for the moment, I keep it all in the frame
I chose to live in reality, exit out of the game
Film photo filter banalities of the world
And if it entertain, then morality down the drain

Happiness is what I'm gettin' to
Everything you takin' in should make an even better you
I'm human, and I urge you to never put me on pedestals
I hope you never trade a better view for a better view
I hope you makin' sure all your trauma don't get the best of you
Hope the person inside that mirror has been respecting you
Hope you treat your virtuous qualities like collectibles
Hope you love yourself by acceptin' the blessings meant for you
I hope this memo get to you like

I left you with a memo (I left you with a memo)
It don't take long to read (not a lot of words at all)
One day, you gon' let go (one day, you gon', one day, you gon')
One day, you'll be free (know exactly who you are)
In the back of that photo (Polaroid, Polaroid, Polaroid, Polaroid)
Right there, you will see (right there, you will see, right there, you will see)
My name in a memo (my name in a memo)
I hope it get to you in peace (I hope it get to you in peace)

January 18th at 10:30, you were born, and I held you in my arms
Told my mommy you were beautiful
Lookin' back at me like I was new to you
I knew that I could never handle losin' you
I sacrificed a lot so you never have to
Took the stones they threw at me and I made a castle
Left behind what I used to be, now I'm lookin' at you
With a new set of eyes, guess I was lookin' past you

But who you was today isn't set in stone if you always settin' goals
You can have a better life, better wife, better home
Most important, I hope that you better when you left alone
Comfy with yourself, takin' peace everywhere you go
And only you can meet your needs if you didn't know
When you love yourself, ain't a single place that isn't home
And when you home, keep it clean, keep it safe and serene
One day, I'ma leave, so

I left you with a memo (I left you with a memo)
It don't take long to read (not a lot of words at all)
One day, you gon' let go (one day, you gon', one day, you gon')
One day, you'll be free (know exactly who you are)
In the back of that photo (Polaroid, Polaroid, Polaroid, Polaroid)
Right there, you will see (right there, you will see, right there, you will see)
My name in a memo (my name in a memo)
I hope it get to you in peace (I hope it get to you in peace)

Sendin' you my love from New York City with peace
Sendin' you my love from Cali on Cherry Beach
Sendin' you my love from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
You wrote me, and then you said I'm your savior to say the least
Thank you all for comin' and packin' out every show
And puttin' me in your story and keepin' me on repeat
Thank you for the flowers when I was hittin' my lows
And thinkin' of givin' up and leanin' over the brink

Lot of people ask me for advice
Slow down, only do some shit if it feel right
Hold down people that have given you real love
And if you got a dream, just do it like Phil Knight
Ain't no type of love like self-love
So always make time for yourself, love, and keep your mental health up
Mediation helps, and your health is your wealth
And you learned this all yourself, so

I left you with a memo (I left you with a memo)
It don't take long to read (not a lot of words at all)
One day, you gon' let go (one day, you gon', one day, you gon')
One day, you'll be free (know exactly who you are)
In the back of that photo (Polaroid, Polaroid, Polaroid, Polaroid)
Right there, you will see (right there, you will see, right there, you will see)
My name in a memo (my name in a memo)
I hope it get to you in peace (I hope it get to you in peace)

And there you have it
The long journey home come to an end
You had some good times
You had some downtimes
You learned a lot
You laughed, you cried
But you found your way home
And I'm glad you did
