Tell my mother I'm sorry, I never meant to hurt her

& Even when I did I never meant to take it further

Tell my father I love him, dot dot excetera

He used to give me advice like a plethora

I tried to find myself but I was your replica

I mean I only tried to be what you never was

Tell my older brother I'm bad at being a brother

I know I never told you just how highly I think of ya

Tell my grandmother she always been a friend to me

I would have visited more if I wasn't into me

Tell Trey I think his mother is an asshole

When you get older you might understand how that go's

Tell the hood I left, not for greed or wealth

I did it for my own sanity & keep my health

I tried to bring a few with me, hoping we could cash in

But all they said is that I aint do it in a timely fashion

Tell... music she saved me when shit was adverse

My first love I give my life so she can have hers

Tell my friends, each one, they taught me how to be one

I owe them part of everything I've become

Tell fame I aint want it, nah I'll keep it a hunnid

I try my best to go and get it but the nigga fronted

SO! I lie dormant, living through torment

Tell cops I've got warrents I don't warrent

Tell the therapist "look I never thought I'd get here"

Somebody ask love why she aint wanna live here

So in it's place is a lot of pride

Anybody thinking they know me, I apologize

Grandpa is eighty plus still being strong

Tell the fake niggas "keep on keeping on"

Faithfully tell anybody who hated me

Hastily, all it ever did was motivated me

They say I'm difficult, so to put it simply

Tell the world I never cared it was against me

Tell god to be there in case I fall

Tell fans I never gyped em I always gave them my all

Tell my girl she put me through it

But if I had to go through it with anybody I'm thankful it's her

Tell every member of my family

For too long I hid behind my own insanity & got me caught up

& then Somebody tell currency I chased him to the death

I thought I'd catch the nigga until I ran out of breath

Tell my bruises "I'm fine, I'm good, I normally heal quick"

Tell the rain come down, I need to feeeeel it

I told a nigga give me a hand but he wouldn't

I kept telling myself I can't until I couldn't

If niggas wanna kill me tell em I already died

Tell anybody that will listen I tried

Til the water ran dry

Tell the water to get the fuck out my eyes

Tell the crust it tastes great but I much rather the pie

Ask success what I got to do to succeed

Then tell my twin brothers I look at em like my seeds

Ya'll will be the mouths I feed

If a nigga ever tell me how to rid myself of some of this greed

I tell them that I'm grown, really I aint finish growing

Look, tell failure I aint wanna get to know him

Tell the stick up kids to come and get me

Tell the stereotypes, look I tried them shits on...they didn't fit me

Tell whoever I wronged I apologize

& Tell me though it's bumps in the road, still I gotta ride

They tell me I got a lot of pride

I tell them how the FUCK you gon' tell me what I got inside

Then they wanna lecture a nigga

Tell me life is what you make it

That when I tell them I beg to differ
