"A Conversation With My Younger Self" lyrics
Yeah
Sometimes you just gotta reflect
Remember who are
Who you were
And where you come from
Lately, I've been trying to figure it out
Could be traveling the world, but I just sit in the house
I just want to make my parents and my siblings proud
But I'm consumed by this crippling doubt
Still the younger me would love to meet the person I've become
If I could talk to him I'd let him know he's enough
And he's gon make a living off everything that he loves
If I could just talk to him once, yeah
I'd let him know that mom leaving doesn't mean she hates you
It's gonna leave you with trauma but you won't let it break you
You're gonna try to fill that void with everything you can
It's gonna take some more than alcohol. I hope you understand.
You're gonna get into drugs and you'll get addicted
Neglect all of the people that matter and you'll get distant
You'll get yourself a therapist just to fill a prescription
And pop em all to try to hide the fact that you're conflicted
Conflicted with life, conflicted with God
Conflicted with the fact you're never gonna be what you want
You gon struggle with young love and battle with depression
And contemplate the purpose of a life without affection
With that in question it's hard to tell you what you decide
With full discretion we'll keep this one between you and I
You start harming yourself, feeling consumed with lies
At 17 you're gonna try committing suicide
It doesn't work and you'll be happy it doesn't
You gon find yourself a girl who gives you actual lovin'
Then a couple years later you'll propose and get engaged
And get yourself a crib from all the music that you've made, oh yeah
You fuckin' do it dog! Your music finally makes it big
A couple million streams a week man that's some crazy shit
I can't believe I ever doubted you. I'm proud of you.
There's people all around the world that truly love the sound of you
I know you want a label, that ain't how it goes down
First you'll make a quarter million dollars from your hometown
Then you'll take a trip to the west to make you a new life
And link with Futuristic I know you fuck with his tunes right?
Now all the sudden you start linking with legends
You do more than make songs dog you make an impression
You got Krizz on your album, you met Logic at his show
Tech N9ne in AZ, label meetings on the low, you know
Everything you ever wanted is your life now
True fans screaming your name when they turn the lights out
You finally found the missing piece that you were searching for
Yea it's bittersweet but know the wait just made it Worth it more
That inspiration takes you further than you'll ever know
You'll finally make a million dog you pay off every loan
Now every day you waking up and make music
And all the pain felt from the past is what fuels it
Sometimes you just gotta reflect
Remember who are
Who you were
And where you come from
Lately, I've been trying to figure it out
Could be traveling the world, but I just sit in the house
I just want to make my parents and my siblings proud
But I'm consumed by this crippling doubt
Still the younger me would love to meet the person I've become
If I could talk to him I'd let him know he's enough
And he's gon make a living off everything that he loves
If I could just talk to him once, yeah
