WALE - Letter lyrics

rate me

I'm riding in truth

Catch you up on places I, ve been

To whom it may concern

I refuse to never being on this earth

I am breathing for a purpose

I want to be the centerpiece of my entire culture

And I, ve been thinking about you

Cause you, ve done such, by doing such

I get a pen a paper, write you a letter

Cause you are appriciated, I'm dreamin to be great

While working on my mistakes, You promised that, s changed

I'm doing the same thing

Dear Mr. Obama I'm hoping this letter reaches you in good spirits

Lord knows you, ve been busy, but I just wanna know

I I speak could you listen, we live in the same city

I was hoping I could to visit ya

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

An you could find interest

First off congratulations on your win

It, s time for some change to commence

I got a question for you mayor

From an african american stance,

Are we expecting too much from your four year plan

And what about the rappers that happen to act

Like a black president gives us the 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

Are making revenue off a name we cherish

As I end this letter, one more thing

I hope you understand your impact on our race

Sincerely Wale, PSA,

I ain, t trying to nit pick but you can stick the rest of the way

I'm riding in truth

Catch you up on places I, ve been

You have this letter probably got excited

But there, s nothin that, s inside

To whom it may concern

I refuse to never being on this earth

I am breathing for a purpose

I want to be the centerpiece of my entire culture

And I, ve been thinking about you

Cause you, ve done such, by doing such

I get a pen a paper, write you a letter

Cause you are appriciated, Like Dear Mama

The reason I work hard, like even my favorite rapper, he was bigger than a artist

Dear Pac I was 12 when they gunned you

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

You, ve never had a son in the physical or literal

But years later there are still a bunch of little yous

Never seen you was lyrical, But more or less the voice that the whole culture listens too

Speaking the truth like only you can do

It, s only right we lose greatness at it, s pinacle

I got a question for ya, Are still mad at biggie, are you still mad dre

And are you happy with the way your legacy portrayed

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

But music today is getting lame for us

They chasing fame rather than making a change for us

They stop being honest, they stop being honest,

They want their club shit, ain't no more dear mamas

And you don, t know me, but knowing you through music

Is going to change the world in the future, truly

Yours Wale, PSA, how long will they mourn you forever in a day

I'm riding in truth,

Catch you up on places I, ve been

You have this letter probably got excited

But there, s nothin that, s inside

So I'm writing you this letter

I can only hope you read it if you get it

Hoping if you get it, you will never forget it

You will never forget it, You will never forget it

So I'm writing you this letter

I can only hope you read it if you get it

Hoping if you get it, you will never forget it

You will never forget it, You will never forget it

I'm riding in truth,

Catch you up on places I, ve been

You have this letter, probably got excited

But there, s nothin that, s inside it

I'm riding in truth,

Catch you up on places I, ve been

You have this letter, probably got excited

But there, s nothin that, s inside it
