Dear Me Video (MV)

Don't slip away
Don't slip away
'Cuz everything I'm working towards
Everything I'm searching for, is you
Don't slip away
Don't slip away
'Cuz everything I'm working towards
Everything I'm searching for, is you

Dear Me
Time machines ain't been invented yet
So I can only say this shit in retrospect
But go and hug ya lil' brothers neck
Tell them lil' homies not to sweat
Tell 'em they gone make it out alive
Tell 'em they gone reach the other side
Tell 'em there will always be a greater purpose
They will never have to question why
But the irony is that they prolly' will
Cuz everybody wanna be fulfilled
But they took advantage of certain stabilities
You feelin' pressed 'cuz you never did
But the thing is, you're the guinea pig
You're what happens when the Henny wins
You're the result of a broken relationship
Fueled by booze and ignorance, yeah
And it's more or less a fact
That people do the best with what they have
But everything you think you lost to them people
I know you're capable of getting back
And yeah, yeah, yeah, I know it's wack
You don't wanna listen when they speakin' facts
And you ain't plan beyond 21
Because you told yourself you'd never get to that
And the way you livin', you prolly won't
Hatred breeds inside your soul
And I know you ain't tryna hear me talk
But I speak from a pain you've never known
Yeah
Hatred breeds inside your soul
I know you ain't tryna hear me talk
But I speak from a pain you've never known
So please

Don't slip away
Don't slip away
'Cuz everything I'm working towards
Everything I'm searching for, is you
Don't slip away
Don't slip away
'Cuz everything I'm working towards
Everything I'm searching for, is you

Time machines ain't been invented yet
So I can only say this shit in retrospect
But the lil problems that you dealing with
Ain't shit compared to what's comin' next
I know how much you hate this f*ckin' school
I know how much you hate these f*ckin' rules
I know all the shit that you wanna prove
Make em know you hard, so they f*ck with you
But lemme tell you somethin' homie
Your priorities are pretty much a dub
And you gone meet the biggest blessin' of ya life
And homie I know you gone f*ck it up
I know you been puttin off decisions
Thinkin' that your future ain't in your control
But the longer that you procrastinate
The more scar tissue builds up in your soul
And I ain't tryin' to insult ya dawg
Your intelligence is greater than my own
But I just got a tiny bit of wisdom
All I wanna do is get it in your dome
Call ya mama up and tell her that you love her
Don't you stop till she pick up the phone
Grab ya pops hand, shake it firmly
And tell him straight up that he not alone
If if you don't agree with him
You should do it just to keep the feelins' strong
Even when the feelins' wrong
You could take it with a grain of salt
They was prayin' on ya downfall
But you gone be the one to save us all
Yeah
But you gone be the one to save us all
So please

Don't slip away
Don't slip away
'Cuz everything I'm working towards
Everything I'm searching for, is you
Don't slip away
Don't slip away
'Cuz everything I'm working towards
Everything I'm searching for, is you

What's up man, it's 2029
I want you to know that I'm still alive
I never thought we'd get to 35
I honestly don't know how we survived
I wanted to end it a couple times
But for your sake I stayed on my grind
I paid dues, I paid homage
And I paid attention to the warning signs
Oh, and by the way, I got a wife
She's a lil' crazy but, so am I
We gone fuss, and we gone fight
But the difference is we stayed united
Everyone always abandoned me
So I owe her that, in the very least
And sometimes when I lay there and watch her sleep
I'm happy with the future I stayed to see
So please

Don't slip away
Don't slip away
'Cuz everything I'm working towards
Everything I'm searching for, is you

Don't slip away

It's you, it's you
