Fanmail
KJ-52 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My arms are sliced up but I'm not embarrassed
It's the only way I get attention now from my parents
It's not like they really take the time to be caring
They just use me to watch the baby when they run they errands
My name is ___ I got a friend named Karen
She gave me your CD with the track for Eminem
You wrote a song called number one fan I listened and
I wanted to know if you can help me like you was helping them
She had something even harder to be mentioning
Like every single day I struggle just with fitting in
Plus the boys won't give me no attention and
I get teased and made fun of by all my friends and then
See I'm feeling like I'm wishing now that I could end
My life 'cause I'm sick and tired of all the time I spend
Trying to figure out how I could be worth anything
Can you help me KJ from your fan

I'm writing this letter
Cause I have to tell ya
I need some help from you
I'm writing this letter
I hope that you get it
I need some help from you

I live with my mom ever since my parents split
And At home I spend my time on the Internet
Looking at porn I'm addicted and I'm sick of it
Myspace dot com is mostly where I'm getting it
On top of that there's videos that I can watch
And I really wanna quit but its like I can't stop
See I'm scared that I'm just gonna get caught
And when I see a girl all I think is dirty thoughts
And its not that I don't know that it's really wrong
But its right there for me every time I'm logging on
I got all your CD's I really like your songs
Well I downloaded em but anyway moving on
My screen name is KJ-52 is the bomb
I want to do a website KJ rock's dot com
I really some help 'cause I can't tell my Mom
Oh by the way my real name is ___

I'm writing this letter
Cause I have to tell ya
I need some help from you
I'm writing this letter
I hope that you get it
I need some help from you

I took the time just to write you
We play you every Wednesday at my youth group
I love your music and we all think that you's cool
But I been struggling ever since I moved to a new school
See everybody thinks that I'm the perfect Christian girl
I had a hard time trying to believe that God is real
I've been on mission trips and camps the whole deal
My dad had cancer tho I prayed that God would heal
But he died anyway so it's hard to feel
Like he cares about me so was it God's will
To take away my dad I really got a raw deal
Sometimes I just want to swallow all my mom's pills
When I pray I really doubt it
I've lost my way or maybe I've never found it
I been smoking and drinking nobody knows about it
By the way my name is ___ don't mispronounce it...

If I could write to every kid that's out there
Every kid that's hurting feels like nobody cares
I would tell them that God can wipe away tear
And he's right near and I would say it quite clear
Your here for a reason you're not a mistake
You are a special creation that God himself made
To the victims of abuse to every girl that was raped
You can live you can be free from your pain
And find strength and no longer be ashamed
You can find peace and hope In Jesus name
You ain't gotta live with this hurt every day
Christ came to give you life in a much better way
To every kid right now that's full of hate
And bitterness I'd tell em just to give it all away




To the one that came to take all the blame
That's what I'd write here's what I'd say

I know there are kids who are filled with hate


And bitterness I'd tell em just to give it all away
I would encourage them to let go of hate and bitterness


To the one that came to take all the blame
Jesus came to take the blame for our mistakes


That's what I'd write here's what I'd say

To everyone that needs to hear it...

I promise you're not alone. I went through so much hell. Addiction, not feeling loved, afraid of the world, wanting to commit suicide. But I held on, every time. And I didn't always want to. But every time, I decided to try another day... and years later, I can say I'm glad I did. And some days are better than others, sure. And some days are still really bad. But overall, I'm much better, and I genuinely believe life is worth living.

I know this comment is more than 9 years old by the time I see it, but in case you still need to hear this, or if anyone else needs to hear it (because I know there are a lot who do). I want to say that it's always worth it to keep going. I'm not going to lie, you might go through hell for years. But it won't be all bad. And if you keep having hope, and honestly trying to rise above it - learn from it, grow from it - then one day, some things will start to "click". And you'll be able to see some example of how life is worth living. Of how YOU are WORTHY living.

I can definitely say, what helped me is my belief in God; always, no matter what, no matter how angry I was, no matter how hopeless life felt. I always told God that I want what he has for me, and that I'm willing to see it through. Even when I was convinced that life wasn't worth living, I CHOSE to believe it anyway, because I had to. And now, I don't need to convince myself anymore, because I'm living that life now.

And it's still hard! Life will always be hard! But I'm able to cope with it now. I'm able to grow from it and overcome it. I'm educated about what is and isn't my responsibility, what is and isn't in my control. And how no matter what, I can life with purpose, fulfillment, and joy. Faith is the key to that. Because by my own view, I couldn't see every opportunity that makes life worth living, not in my darkest times. But if I gave up sooner, I wouldn't live to see the wonderful things that are waiting for me.

Just because I couldn't see it, doesn't mean that light doesn't exist.

Once I learned this, I was able to find joy, even in my trials. Because I have faith. And that faith eventually paid off. And that's life; continuously having faith that good things are coming, even when you can't see them. That's why I gave my life to God. Because with Him, your life is always purposeful.

Please hold on. Talk to God. Let go of your fear as much as you can. It might take time; it did for me. But I'm happy I did, and I'm happy I can tell that to everyone else. God bless you all.

Dear KJ: Thanks for making this video. I like when people shine a light on depression, suicide, rape, porn, etc. Everyone treats those things like their dirty words, but those things are real and their happing now. And when your the one struggling with those problems, it's scary and you don't know who to tell. I've been through my own hell and I just want to encourage everyone that there is hope and God loves you. He will use you for great things and to encourage/help others. Stay strong. x

Dillon Ehresman

yea i agree

Vampire Craft

I cried listening to this song. I came across KJ-52 about a few years back through spotify. I am just now hearing this song.

If I were to write a letter it would mention my depression, hate at myself, loss of faith in God and wanting to give up every single day. Even now...😔

Sergio Perez

Vampire Craft Ironic how you’re just hearing this song recently.. But Don’t give up! You are not alone and you can overcome with Jesus!!!

One of the best songs of all time, and it's hardly known. :(
