Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lil Menace's song, My Love Letter, are a heartfelt message from a man who is currently incarcerated. The song is a love letter to his girlfriend or wife, expressing how much he misses her and their children while he is locked up in a cage. The man acknowledges the difficulties that come with being apart from each other, but reassures his partner that he loves her and will always be there for her. He talks about the memories they share and how important she is to him, referring to her as "my ecstasy, never agony, your my corazon."

The chorus of the song repeats the line "you'll always keep your love, just out of my reach." It could be interpreted as the man feeling like he can never fully have his love because he is behind bars, but also as a literal interpretation of how his partner is physically out of reach. The second verse of the song continues with the man pleading with his partner to tell him what's wrong and expressing how much he wants to be together with her, sharing their love and making sweet memories.

Overall, the song is a poignant letter from someone who is locked up and feels powerless, yearning for his loved one to keep their love alive while he's away. It's a powerful message of love and the lengths we will go to keep it alive despite obstacles.
