Part 1

[Intro]

This message is for everyone

[Verse 1]

This message is for you, grandma

No difference with you, grandpa

It's for my uncles, aunts, and the baby I wish I met

I go everyday thinkin' what it'd be like if y'all never left

It's just unreal for me to believe that you're gone

As I see it, there ain't gon' be a way I'll move on

Come on, what's going on?

I know, but I hate the fact you'll never respond

You'll never pick up again

A wound will only heal if you stop touching it

But I can't forget everything you meant to me as a kid

I can still feel you though the tension's been stiff

I turn back on our past and it shocks me that I fell shy

Of all the chances I could've spoke to you, that's why

When each year winds down, our memories wind up

I wish I could grasp you in my arms, give you a long hug

Please send this to them, let them know that they're still loved

I just can't forget the face of someone that was my last hope

Our time spent was not wise

I'll see you later 'cause there's no such thing as "goodbye"

[Pre-Chorus]

There's no more reaching you

By now you should have gotten my message

The message, oh those messages

I'd give anything back just to be with you

By now you should have gotten my message

Did it get to you, get through to you

[Chorus]

This message is for my family

My friends or who's listening

Any person that can hear me

Any person that I'm missing

[Verse 2]

This message is for you, my friends

I pray this road continues

All this time we've spent together is special

Actions speak louder than words, I'm just a hypocrite

But to look at you now, hurts

Words can't describe it

I've lost friends and family

I can't handle this

How do you let go of someplace where you felt welcome?

When now if you show up, you've invaded and they won't tell ya

Thank you for being a part of this journey

Hope we see each other in the future

See how we've turned out

'Cause y'all were close to me even when we were spread out

I'm recording this message, can't tell if you wanna see my face

You'd try to get through to me

When sometimes I was through with you

All your time was worth it, let me reimburse it right back to you

This message is for my friends

The ones who answered the call from the beginning

I mean this from my heart, I'm positively certain

[Pre-Chorus]

There's no more reaching you

By now you should have gotten my message

The message, oh those messages

I'd give anything back just to be with you

By now you should have gotten my message

Did it get to you, get through to you

[Chorus]

This message is for my family

My friends or who's listening

Any person that can hear me

Any person that I'm missing

[Pre-Chorus]

There's no more reaching you

By now you should have gotten my message

The message, oh those messages

I'd give anything back just to be with you

By now you should have gotten my message

Did it get to you, get through to you

[Chorus]

This message is for my family

My friends or who's listening

Any person that can hear me

Any person that I'm missing

Part 2

[Chorus]

This message is for the people

The people in this city

Any person that ain't listening

Listen up and so you can hear me

[Verse]

I've sent more messages in my lyrics than you've sent in a convo'

I wasn't supposed to provide a beat you could bob to

Everything can change in the second you aren't tryin' to

This is a simple message I've sent with pride, so

This is the explanation I'll summarize, know

This is reality, why don't you look around?

Don't change for anyone but yourself, whom you should rely

We were all in my dreams 'til we exited the borderlines

It's 'bout time I've confided, confessed everything, look alive

We all tryna live

I'm not tryna live a lie

I have a way with words

Some rappers don't even try

Mentality settled in

I overcame the odds

I had to man up

Some fail to do the job

I am a renegade

Everyday's do or die

I am a prodigy

My name's where that proof resides

I saw déjà vu

These goodbyes seem to multiply

I am a livin' legend

Not exactly what you've expected

Now that you know me, never expect less

I saved this for later, hopin' you've learned my message

You are one of us, and we're livin' in dependence

I just wrote a book half these artists don't even get and

I've looked into different moments in life with my perspective

No bird's eye view but a boy in Armageddon

Tryna get through understandin' that this is life and we're lettin' each millisecond slip from us, I'm leavened

How you think we got in here? There's no way out our sentence

'Til you enter the gates of reality: Hell or Heaven

Just when you think you had it all, watch how it turns the tides

What you have listened to is an example of my life

This is what I did for three years

I gave you a peek of what's inside of me

You may feel uncomfortable

But this is how it has to be

We're the tattoos, the glue

We are obscene

I don't care what you think

Don't have to be proud of me

We are the ink

That's the truth of reality

This is the ending of my album titled Reality

[Chorus]

This message is for the people

The people in this city

Any person that ain't listening

Listen up and so you can hear me

[Outro]

I love you
