Friday the King - To Whom It May Concern Lyrics

Yeah
To whom it may concern
Life is just lessons learned

To whom it may concern

I got something that I need to say
To the culture that got my heart in every single way
It really seems today
The hurt we seem to lay
Upon our Queens we can't
Really mean and claim we still love them
Maybe it's everything that I been hearing got me fed up
This what Pac was saying when he went and made keep your head up ain't it?
Things ain't been no easier
Especially for the women
Especially with our festish for always treating them sleazier
We still only
See'em as props
Never People
Only visual aids
And property for us to casually degrade
Masterfully we debate
For our own pleasures
Whether or not they're here to satisfy our grown pleasures
And It's so subtle, we don't even see it
It's been so normalized
When it's brought up we don't believe it
Man we just excuse it
I find it crazy that I'm constantly told
I may be trippin cuz I critique the way we relate to women, well

Ladies I promise I'll die for y'all like the only son
And I promise I love you, even if I'm the only one
Cuz I believe that each of you are some form of a goddess
So when We speak
You'll get regarded as a holy one

And since we all came from a woman
Got our names from a woman
And our game from a woman
I wonder why we disgrace our women
Do we hate our women?

To whom it may concern

I'm getting tired of the faking
We pretending like we don't hurt from emotional straining
Strength is knowing that we ain't no good to fight for nobody when we're breaking
Can't fix no one when you're broken
When you gon learn to be open, bruh?
You feel your sanity slipping?
Don't act like you have it
You suffer from depression symptoms?
Don't act like it's sadness
This type of stuff, it won't disappear on its own
Don't act like its magic
Ignoring the warnings that you're falling off
Being strong ain't about being emotionless
I fear my son will grow up without knowing what emotion is
So I embrace the moments in this life where I don't know if
"I'm good" is a good enough
Response to feeling hopelessness
I say this
Cuz I love y'all like my brothers
But it ain't always clear if we love ourselves and I wonder
What we doing
That we lacking in it?
And be acting different
Don't just act indifferent
To the act of distance
And react with dissonance

Sometimes being strong for everybody
Is our greatest weakness
Why do we pay for peace but wont do what it takes to keep it?
When we gon talk it out, and not just only pray in secret?
Don't make you less of a man to cry and display your feelings

And Momma said there'd be days like this
That don't mean it gotta stay like this
No, No
Momma said there'd be days like this
That don't mean it gotta stay like this

To Whom It May Concern

Some days
I just be battling these thoughts of greatness
Like what's my fate gon be
From all these statements I be making
Applauded and lauded
Or degraded and berated?
Am I Same love Macklemore
Or Crack Music Ye?
These days we lean to death all over the mic
But when the last time we spoken some life?
Or are we all really
Poppin xan's
Popping opps
Busting shots
Pimpin hoes
Repping sets
Catching bodies
Pitchin pounds just for dough?
These are the questions aching my mind
When I be breaking my mind
To write some stuff to make you think that my shine is
Less of a shooting star
And more like the sun
The more I think I lack
The more that I want
Something that's not an image
Something God given
Something not a gimmick mixed with old Soul Healing, filled with most consistent Hope
Something more real, than what fits inside a home disc and makes me feel home in these bars
While y'all be visiting
This dedicated to anyone listening
Believe in your shine not what you see with your eyes
Believe in your shine not what you see with your eyes that's how you receive the prize

To whom it may concern

To whom it may concern
Life is just lessons learned
