THE NOTE
To my brothers and my sisters
Wherever I am, just know I miss ya
We'll always have the pictures
But keep me in your heart, I know you always bring it with ya

What you carry can be burdensome
And I don't mean to burden one
But every bird has a song, doesn't mean every bird has sung
May even mean that you heard it wrong

So let me be clear
I only have now, let me leave this right here
You can pick it up anytime, anytime you feel
As long as you can carry on the message that these pages will conceal, please...

And to your eyes, it is revealed
And your mind will be it's shield
And your tongue will be the weapon, where the enemies are stepping
There your thoughts will be the minefield

Let your actions do the speaking
Let your presence be a beacon
You could see it from the lowest crevice
To the highest peak in the region

I'm leaping, if not now, I know I never will
Time is of the essence, and i'm betting that it's Time for Bill
I can't Netflix and chill
No time to kill, wanna network and build

See I'm restless, at times, i can barely sit still
Picking at a wound that has never really healed
Scabs turn to scars and the scars are reminders
These bars are the roots to the soul, let me find ya

Digging in the crates, hope the DJ rewind us
Crowd so loud, no choice but to sign us
Record on rotation, they spinning, breaking the spines of
The books you analyze, bookmarked Once Upon A Time

It's, timeless
And on your way, I'm hoping that you will find this
Of any bit of help
Nobody does it by themselves

As we embark on this expedition
Keep in mind on this ride, the key, is in ignition
One foot in front of the next, that's repetition
Cause the real work starts after passing the audition

The show must go on, ain't no intermission
More than dreams right now, you need intuition
When the road gets foggy, you still have the vision
The mission may seem impossible, but it really isn't

I made it out from the darkness too
Turned pain into paint, that's what artists do
The very fact that I am here is remarkable
From hell and back, spent every shell in my arsenal

A live wire, I fire on all cylinders
Even when they told me that nobody would be interested
I still put my heart on the line just like a signature
Sincerely Yours, no man in particular

The mantra the same, nothing less than the best
For a dollar or a million, it must always make sense
Walking in another's path may be the safest bet
But I'm worth the fortune that I haven't made yet

Question is, you willing to make a sacrifice?
Play the gambit, and gamble your stake in paradise?
What's it worth to curb your appetite?
If you died right now, would you be satisfied?

I'm behind schedule, really got to get going
The roller coaster is rolling, the bar is set and i'm holding on
For dear life, but I know these rappers here, they really fear flight
WHen i'm near mics, Evander Holyfield, the way their ears bite

It's real life, ahead of their every move, no matter the weapon they choose
They better be ready to prove, the tools they given just ain't a fluke
I've been on my grind, all my money and time, spent on the work that I put in a rhyme
Life on the line, couldn't see it then, but now I see it fine

So if I shine, we all shine together
And hopefully you get to read this letter, and till then
Goodbye everybody, I've got to go, yell Geronimo
Kicking over the dominos, Vamonos, so long, adios!
