This is a letter to the future
A future that one day I’ll hopefully see
To regulate that I haven’t gone off track
This is a letter to future me
I ain’t too worried about the money
Because I’m sure that your pockets are fat
Because those digits replay in my head
So I know am a continue to stack
So no I’m not worried about the statements
Am guessing they be 6 figures at last
That's the product of me from now
The hard work of yourself in the past
So my concern isn’t the success
I guess, really its everything else
Are you exercising, are you eating right
Are you looking after yourself.
Are mum and dad still around now
Do you go and visit them on a regs
Cherish every moment that you get with them
Cuz 1day they might not get out of bed
And they were the ones who raised you
And you know that they raised you right
So make sure you look after them in their old age
Because they were the ones who gave you life
How are your brothers and sister
I hope you are done with them sibling fights
Because when push comes to shove it was all love
I hope that you and the siblings are still tight
Anyway, how are you doing
Have you settled down now found a wife
I don’t want to hear that you’ve been to busy
Don’t let that success go and ruin your life
Also how are the little ones
By now you must have one or two
Look after them and your nephews and nieces
Because the future belongs to them youths
Anyway, what is it that your doing now
Are you still building another mans throne
Are you shedding blood sweat and tears on a regular
Just to build up another mans home
I know you might be stacking that money
But there's so much more to this life
And if you spend all your days building his dreams
Then you’ll only ever see yours at night
So don’t give up your dreams for the success
Because the success ain't all that tight
In fact, trust me your life would suck less
If you were home half broke with your wife
And if you were home just a bit more
Maybe you would even find time to write
Cause when that paper and pen is in front of you
That's when you truly feel alive
It doesn’t matter if nobody reads it
Or what you have to say still isn't heard
Just get it all down on the pages
Because I know how you live for those words
This is a letter a from the past you
Just to make sure you haven’t gotten off track
My address and time are in the corner
So feel free to send me one back
