Yellopain Letter To Maurice
Yo, Yello wassup bro
I don't know if you really gonna respond to
My message or not, bro, cause, we're far away
But, nevertheless, I'm doing this with... hope
Just wanted to let you know, man, that
You know I been– I'm in pain right now. I'm in pain right now, a
Nd I been struggling a lot. Maurice
All the way from Costa Rica, brother
3 months ago I was just sitting at my mama house
Thinking 'bout how long I been rapping, I should be popping now
Then this rapper, Trippie Redd, called me out the blue
And he told me to keep going, so that's what I'm telling you
Cause after that I didn't sleep for like 48 hours
I gotta say, powerful people can motivate power
Cause I was pouring out my heart, so I could make a difference
I knew I had to give my soul for them to pay attention
Look at me now, 20 million views later
Motivating millions, coulda ended in a newspaper
I was suicidal, but I knew greater
Overcoming obstacles, I swear I feel like Tomb Raider
Down, down, down, down, down
Thinking I should prolly just throw in the towel now
But I kept going, looking for a waayy out
Praying that these demons in my soul stay out, yeah
I know how it feel, to feel like they don't understand you
I know how it feel, to feel like they don't wanna help you
Gotta go in tunnel vision, you can't let it stress you
Life is what you make it, gotta spank it like your nephew
Only way to fail, is to quit
And before I quit, I take a shell to the lip
Yeah, before I fail I'mma flip
Push it to the limit, till you fail to exist
(Maurice)
I heard you say you don't got no real people you can talk too
I know that feeling and it's awful, I wish I could call you
And tell you that it's hard to make it out when you alone
But you gotta believe you got that power on your own
And you gotta believe it in a drought, when it get cold
I promise I almost threw in the towel when I was low
Them demons in your body overpowering your soul
But if you don't give up
I promise, that you bound to reach your goal
You gotta push it
Even when it feel like ain't nobody looking
Bruh, you only get one life you gotta strike it like a bullet
Man, I done been through way to much for me to let that be the end
I couldn't let the pressure win
So I shook it
Yeah, I shook it
Before I give up I'll make a pallet in the bushes
And I'd sleep there every night until I found a way out
And once you make it out you gotta stay out
Don't give up
(Maurice)
