Letter Lyrics - John Mayer

I'm writing you to 

Catch you up on places I've been 

To whom it may concern 

I refuse to be another being on this earth 

I'm breathing for a purpose 

I wanna be the center piece of my entire culture 

And I've been thinking bout you 

Cause you've done such 

By doing such 

I get a pen and paper 

Write you a letter cause you are appreciated 

I'm dreaming to be great 

While working on my mistakes 

You promise that's change 

I'm doing the same thing

Dear Mr.Obama 

I'm hoping that this letter reaches you 

in good spirits 

Lord knows you've been busy 

But I just wanna know if I speak could you listen 

We in the same city I was hoping I could visit ya 

If not I'm hoping that this letter could convey how I'm feeling 

And you could find interest 

First off congratulations on the win 

It's time for some change to commence 

I gotta question for you man, 

From an African American stance 

Are we expecting to much from your four year plan 

And what about the rappers 

That happen to act like a black president 

Give us a right to be assholes 

You know 

They say your name for attention 

But little to no interest after election 

or the too cheap t-shirt sellers 

That's making revenue of a name we cherish 

As I end this letter 

One more thing you understand your impact on our race 

Sincerely Wale 

P.S Eh I ain't trying to nit pick 

But keep them cigarettes away

I'm writing you to 

Catch you up on places I've been 

You have this letter 

Finally got excited 

But there's nothing else inside 

To whom it may concern 

I refuse to be another being on this earth 

See I'm breathing for a purpose 

I need to be the center piece of my entire culture 

And I've been thinking bout you 

Cause you've done such 

By doing such 

I get a pen and paper 

Write you a letter cause you are appreciated 

Like damn mama the reason I work hard 

not even my favorite rapper 

you was bigger than an artist 

Yeah 'Pac 

I was twelve when the gunned you 

Wish you was around now to see what I've become see 

You never had a son 

As if it was a literal but, 

Years later there's still a bunch of little you's 

Never seen you as lyrical 

But more as a voice that the whole culture would listen to 

Speakin the truth 

Like only you can do 

It's only right we lose greatness at its pinnacle 

I got a question for ya 

Little somethin to say 

Are you still mad at Biggie? 

Are you still mad at Dre? 

And are you happy at the way your legacy portrayed? 

I'm trying to do for D.C what you did for L.A 

But music today 

It's getting lame for us 

They chasing fame rather than making a change for us 

They stop being artists 

They stop being honest 

They want that club shit 

Ain't no more damn mama's 

And you don't know me 

But knowin you through music is going to change the world 

In the future 

Truly yours, Wale 

P.S Hey how long will they mourn you forever in the day? 

I'm writing you to 

Catch you up on places I've been 

You have this letter 

Finally got excited 

But there's nothing else inside 

So I'm writing you this letter 

And I can only hope that you read it if you get it 

Hoping if you get it that you won't ever forget it 

You won't never forget it 

You won't never forget it I'm writing you to 

Catch you up on places I've been 

You have this letter 

Finally got excited 

But there's nothing else inside 

I'm writing you to 

Catch you up on places I've been 

You have this letter 

Finally got excited 

But there's nothing else inside it
