Letter To The Lost

I know I can't take one more step towards you
Because all thats waiting is your grasp
Don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore
You lost the love I loved the most

O heres a story of a boy sick with ambition,
Shit on since he was twelve, put down not a soul would listen

From ground zero transitioned headlining to some local sports
Jumped on a train and coasted just coasted til he composed his thoughts

Last stop on the one way train can't see the station sign,
So stuck on the chore in hand to think of what he left behind
And the rain whipped off his face,
Unknown to the part of town no clue that the biggest change in his life was bout to come

And for his boys and his family made sure he held em down
Never cared bout traveling touring, he always made em proud
No ones opinions or comments could ever make him doubt or regret the choices or promises coming out his mouth

I know I can't take one more step towards you
Because all thats waiting is your grasp
Don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore
You lost the love I loved the most

So he kept his friends that knew him before his alter ego, t
O help him read through the bullshit that he'd have to see through
But the endless studio time and photoshoots they became the evils.
And pulled him further and further away from all his equals,
But still he balanced well, even when the kid kid was outta town,
Dreaming like he never gotta out bed but still amde sure his records sell
Still made sure that ll the hits, and with all the chicks he'd never dwell crazy how last years t-shirts turned into three piece suits wit a black lapel
Presidential suites with homies screaming what the hell?!
It was just yesterday they wondered what they future held and the train he jumped on with a backpack, hope, and a poem to tell back that dream that a dope like he could do anything and everything he told himself

I know I can't take one more step towards you
Because all that's waiting is your grasp
Don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore
You lost the love I loved the most

Yeah, young Sammy with a fantasy close minds, took a path no one else has seen
Livin the life I had before there's nothing left to see
On to the world to explore, free to breathe

It took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
O, it took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
It took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
It took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes

Who do you think you are?
