9th Wonder
Letter 4 U
[Intro]
Yeah, uh turn the pages (This is a letter to my loved ones)
Message in the bottle (Just a letter to my loved ones)
Read it aloud (Just a letter to my loved ones)

[Verse 1]
Dear mama, I wrote you a letter, did you get it?
I hope you read it, love is the message
It hurts to see you working so hard, wish I could do more
Me and Tek back in the yard working on new songs
Stayed in my corner making sure they did no harm when
I was out on the corners, couldn't do no wrong
You smiled when your first born had his first born
I made the beat cry when I put the verse on

[Verse 2]
There's no easy way for me to start
So I'ma say what's on my mind and what's in my heart
I know you watching over, I could feel ya presence
I hope the angels read this letter to you up in Heaven
I miss coming home off the road then coming to your house, telling you 'bout the shows
Some are better than others
We all have our days, I'll always love my mother

[Chorus]
Forever, you'll have a place in my heart
Always on my mind, you've been there from the start (Letter to my loved ones)
And trust me when I say I'm never afar (To my loved ones)
Yeah, record it, turn the pages (This is a letter to my loved ones)
Yeah, so you can hear this like, a letter
[Verse 3]
To my first born, I wrote you a letter, did you get it?
I hope you read it, love is the message
Started college, I was proud you got accepted
Wish I was more involved, I know you probably feel neglected
You on my mental hour, minute, second
That song and father bond, go to arms to protect it
And while I'm out on tour, we still connected
Love you with all my heart, shining star my reflection

[Verse 4]
Everybody say you look just like me, you got my features
As a black man, I have so much to teach ya
I'ma give ya this one jewel
We're descendants of kings and you'll be one soon
You ain't gotta rush, set your own pace
Life is a journey, it is not a race
So rumble, young man, rumble
I know you not a kid anymore but daddy still love you

[Chorus]
Forever, you'll have a place in my heart
Always on my mind, you've been there from the start (Letter to my loved ones)
And trust me when I say I'm never afar (To my loved ones)
Yeah (Just a a letter to my loved ones)
It's just a letter to my loved ones
[Verse 5]
Yeah, I penned you a letter, did you get it?
The family members dead and gone or in prison
No, we don't always get along but I listen
My bros and cons, the friendship authentic
And to my wisdom, you my best gem
Stress you to death, never the less my best friend
All I put through, you still put trust in me
This ring explain why I'm thankful you fuck with me

[Verse 6]
To my brother, cold cheeks
I believe in ya, keep bangin' out them beats
To my cousins, nieces, nephews, shine
I fuck with all y'all, y'all my life line
To my bestie, you know I keep you in my prayers
Fuck a sickle cell, we warriors over here
And last but not least, to my PNC
I love you, my n***a, peace

[Chorus]
Forever, you'll have a place in my heart
Always on my mind, you've been there from the start
And trust me when I say I'm never afar (To my loved ones)
Yeah (Just a a letter to my loved ones)
It's just a letter to my loved ones
