The Letter
D.E.P. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dear God is your son Kym is me again
We haven't spoken in a while I know it's been a minute
I came seeking repentance
I pray that one day we can be friends again
In my life I've done a lot of wrong
Smoking on some gas, coughing up my lungs
Remember late at night, I'm sneaking out my home and came back to the crib before the crack of dawn
Remember when I contemplated suicide
Broken heart with no friends, they weren't down to ride
Didn't want to tell nobody, I kept it all inside
I wore my heart on my sleeve, I hated my life
Then God told me to run away and not look back cuz you can't ask for something new and still live in the past
You've got to be willing to walk down this path regardless the mistakes that you've made in the past
You can't live your life for you, you're living for me
You can't live your life for the streets, you're living for me
And if you pour your heart on this beat, you do it for me
And if you share your love in the world, you do it for me
Thank you for making my crooked path straight in rough place smooth
I hope when I die all of eternity I'm with you
Thanks for your time to hear the thoughts that's on my mental
I pray we talk again soon
P.S I think you Lord for taking all my pain
Don't want to be caught up in this life, I want to stay in your lane
Before I go, there's one more thing I gotta to say




I'm breaking up with this world, we don't feel the same
I'm breaking up with this world, we don't feel the same
