From Me to Me

Sitting down with a pen and pad

Leaning back with grin in the lab

I’ll take you places you can’t get to in cab

Boat train or plane please let me explain

 

Dear Cody you don’t know me this my introduction

Wish we could have discussion on the topics on touching

But I gotta rush it to help you out on your course

Around this you’re crushing on Danielle don’t force

Any feelings it won’t matter plus your parents gotta divorce

No need to be embarrassed you should cherish your innocence

Kids are fucking out of ignorance and giving birth incidents

Before they even know their worth and how hard an infant is

Quit hold grudges, learning to roll with the punches

And savor every moment you spent with homies on lunches

Cause after graduations Dylan’s leaving

Your staying home saving on loans scroll through your phone

And they’re out of town

But it don’t matter your starting another chapter

And this ain’t one of those phases you’re filling up all these pages

And spilling out all these phrases everyday you’re getting better

You never played varsity but today you’ll get your letter man

 

That bitch is gonna break your heart

You should build a Noah’s Ark cause you’ll be raining for forty days

That trick is really just an Alice who’s living in wonderland

Don’t bring her into the palace

That friend is gonna be your samwise there to pick you up

Whenever you think the plan died

And here soon you’ll find your Cinderella and tell her

You’re the one that I’ve been waiting for

You’re dream is like a house of cards

Sitting on top of a cloud that’s what they tell you right now

See just to sick to your vow and fuck when they raise they brow

Don’t wonder why when or how just focus right on your plough

Don’t ever throw in your towel, you quit too many times

You’ve spit too many rhymes man that’s all that’s on your mind

You ain’t pulling a Kanye but you get dropped from your major

Cause you rather write verses than papers and hit the stages

Than presentations you hesitated drop that fucking mixtape

Don’t let your fear dictate, not mention that shit got a hundred fifty downloads

Not even double cardboard man you know hard for a wanna be super star

Oh by the way you graduated man no need to stress it

No need to pick up for those fake friends they leave message

And it won’t happen by the time you want it just accept it

You got another thousand times that you will get rejected

 

You’re only sixteen you don’t need to figure it out

On the first scene you don’t know what movies about

You need to listen closer pray more and shut your mouth

You wanna be Shark don’t compare yourself to the trout

There’s a lot more going on than what you see in the pond

What you see will be gone before long it changes

Friends turn to strangers when you start turning pages

Just know you going places and there’s no need to be anxious

PS cut out the BS and get to work

You’re only paid for your worth

You wanna be a desk clerk

Or dropping you best verse in that penthouse suite

The taste of regret is bitter and you don’t want that to eat man
