Open Letter Lyrics - Lil Wayne

Ah-em 

Sometimes I feel like I ain't shit 

Sometimes a nigga feel like shit 

Talkin' 'bout some real life shit 

Goodbye letter, dear life shit 

So if a nigga kill me, hope he mean it 

I just hope I die for a reason 

They probably won't miss me 'til they need me, 

Have problems won't admit that they need me Lord

I'm talkin' 'bout some real life shit 

Goodbye letter, dear life shit 

Way too concerned to be conceited 

I live then I learn, then die tryna teach 'em, Lord 

Die tryna reach 'em 

They care more about I'll leave and when I leave it 

I hope I leave more of an impression on my kids 

to be destined to have blessings to believe in, Lord 

Just got off the phone with my son 

Told him, "You a son of a gun" 

Just got off the phone with my daughter 

Told her, "I won't hesitate to fuck a young nigga up" 

Lord, 

Photos 

A few bitches left me 

And only got a new bitch elected 

My old bitch was too disrespectful 

And only give my new bitch respect 

That's power, yes 

So now we're next 

Can't lie though, I tried though 

I'l die tryin', that's a common death 

We was such a team, we was chasin' our dreams 

Then it stopped, now I'm outta breath 

Now they try to tell me I need rest and 

I'l find love again, I ain't find it yet 

Oh, but I guess it is what it is 

As it appears, oh shit 

The object in the mirror is more near than it appears, oh shit 

And sometimes I fear who in the mirror 

That nigga weird 

He done died so many times but still here 

Why am I here? Here 

Life 

What is my meaning? My reason? 

Naked bitches really love ones 

Sometimes our loved ones don't love us 

I'm fuckin' more than I'm makin' love 

Sometimes I make my rubber wear a rubber 

I just tell my lady, "Nothing's easy" 

Even though I make it look easy 

But understand looks are deceiving 

Lookin' like I'm lookin' for some grievance 

'Cause I been through way too much, don't wanna think about it 

Crank about it, gotta drink about it 

Gotta synchronize it, tranquilize it 

Doctor ain't prescribin' what he ain't realizin' 

Pain inside me got me thinkin' 'bout me 

Tryna hang my body, sanctifyin' 

I'm a gangsta dyin' 'cause I 

Can't deny it, you can't take my lion 

I'm a angry lion hangin' by a string 

I can't describe it 

Feel like a anchor tied to my finger 

Got me sinkin' to the bottom of my drink 

I know a lotta niggas think I got a lotta niggas 

There's strength in numbers but there's honor over strength 

I talked to God the other day, he said he got a nigga 

So, I look death up in her eye and then I wink 

It's way too real 

The shit I'm talkin' way way too real 

I hope it gave you chills 

The dirt under your feet could be the grave, you feel 

You don't know how dead you feel until you're dead for real 

Gettin' high after I paid the bill 

and them Navy Seals 

Show up with them Navy guns 

I hope somebody prayin' for 'em 

Price tags on the steak, somebody payin' for 'em 

Ice baths, now my face numb, no expression 

What's the life expectancy when you don't expect shit? 

Mama told me, "Fuck the world and be so aggressive" 

Be so fluorescent, watch these hoes 'cause they so obsessive 

I don't get too high to look over blessings 

Never come in second, make the most of your seconds 

They so precious 

'Cause if we could buy time every store would sell it 

If you want me to read your mind, need correct spelling 

I keep it real, niggas better keep it copisetic 

Why the wheels feel like i'm getting a silver heading 

Lookin' in the mirror at the one that know me better 

I was too busy to talk, I wrote an open letter 

Dear life 

Was is my meaning? My reason? 

That's the question 

I ask the reader 

God bless the reader 

Dear life 

What is my meaning? My reason? 

That's the question 

You know, when he told me Toya was havin' a baby, I say, 

"Y'all young. You know y'all young." But I said, 

"Be the best father you can be," you know. And truly, he is that
