Текст песни Letters To My Idols Vol. I - Meigs

Dear Slim, I want you to know
You're my biggest inspiration
Introduced me to this path
You've helped lead me to my vocation
You've helped me more than you know
You've taught me that it's okay to
Not be okay, not feel great
The world's not an amazing place
But puttin' words to the page
Takes the burden and weight
Off my shoulders and takes the coldness
And the hurt and the pain
It's insane 'cause all of it goes away in a matter of seconds
And the second I start projecting
My feelings out on a record
I instantly start feeling better
It's medicine without detriment
'Cause it's all in my head
Just dopamine, no coke and lean
And no thoughts of the lead
And every night I can go to sleep, nothing haunts me in bed
'Cause you've broken me free and showed me what I wanted instead
Of a boring painful life for that I'll be always in your debt
So I'm writing this letter man
One late night, hope I don't jack it up
Wait back it up, no wait screw it
I guess I'll have to sack it up
'Cause it don't gotta be perfect
You already told me I'm beautiful
It's just gotta have purpose
If so it'll still be useful
You've started this little engine
And I'm not gonna stop
And now I feel like I'm Spacebound
Making my way to the top
Because I've locked it up and lost myself
In the music, won't abuse it
I'll just use it to be a symbol like you did for a movement

So this my letter I'ma send it in the mail
Lettin' you know you gave structure to a kid who felt so frail
Every song to this day, I been feelin' it just like braille
And when I needed a pick-me-up you've picked me up without fail

Dear Ekoh, I wanted you to be let know
That I knew you'd be apart of my life from the get-go
When I heard you spit flows, I couldn't believe it
See, you could always make me smile when my happiness depleted
And when I felt so defeated, you turned that to undefeated
You turned me into a gunner like Punisher better beat it
You turned me into a torch, blowing fire when i'm fuming
But I'm more like Johnny Storm 'cause this fire's actually human
You've inspired actual movement in my heart and my brain
Because of you I've gotten it ready and started this train
And now it's hard to contain
Every single thought I wanna say
But I'll have to partly refrain
'Cause it won't sound too far from insane
And when I'm caught in the rain
You've always parted the clouds
And pardoned me from the doubt
That's kept me under the ground
Pound, Pound, that's my head
All my levels in the red
When I'm overcome by stress
I put on Ekoh instead
Of letting it overcome my senses
Point me in wrong directions
Can't go wrong when I'm figuring out an Ekoh song selection
Like an erection, taught me to go hard
If I'm recording during the day,
I won't leave till it's dark
The only light I need is right here in my heart
And that's all thanks to Ekoh, man you created a spark

So this my letter I'ma send it in the mail
Lettin' you know you gave structure to a kid who felt so frail
Every song to this day, I been feelin' it just like braille
And when I needed a pick-me-up you've picked me up without fail

Dear Nate, you're the main reason that I chose to be great
I was introduced to you then quickly hooked on the bait
And I don't care about the money
I don't care about the fame
I'm just hoping to do for others what you did for me
Took me out of a dark place, also making my heart race
Helped me out whenever I had a feeling sub par days
You made the bar raise with Mansion
Man, how could I not relate
When you embodied my passion I knew that I'd make a mistake
If I were to choose anything other than take after take of songs
Making sure each word is perfectly placed It's the perfect escape
From it all, listening to NF for hours
Nate, you have a great power
And you've helped me devour
My demons that are eating away
As I cowered in the corner
It's important that you know that you became my endower
Giving me great strength, got me feeling like a tank
Wanna take it to the next rank and put everything at stake
You've taught me to focus on me and not my so-called competition
Wanna be a surgeon of rap taught me how to make my incision
Without you, I never would've seen this vision
You've inspired me to choose music, movement, emotion, my greatest decision

Sincerely, Meigs
