I know it’s been while since I sent my last letter
Things were looking up though, and things were getting better
You just fucking graduated, knew where you was heading
And this music shit was going great, I thought that it was spreading
You were like 20 right? The last time that I wrote to you?
Now you’re almost 24, what a man you’ve grown into
I know you’re reaching for shit that still don’t seem that close to you
And I know it seems like these dreams you want are still ghosting you
I know you’re fucking struggling, know you can’t find a job
I know you’re fucking broke and you’re ‘bout to move back to Mom’s
You talk about money when you rapping because it’s fun
But inside we both know that you feel like a fucking bum
You have too much pride, man, I know you’ll never ask for help
That’s your biggest flaw, and it’s dragging down your mental health
You’re hiding all your problems and you put ‘em on a shelf
That’s why your fucking writing all these letters to yourself

I’ve been writing letters, I’ve been writing letters
I’ve been writing letters, letters to myself
It’s me to me and you to you
I know what you’re going through
Right I feel like hell, so I’ll just write these letters to myself

McKenna, listen, I’ve been with you through everything, dawg
I have even seen the shit that nobody saw
And I’ll be here with you the day you conquer it all
Or I’ll be beside you the on day that you fall
We’ve been through a lot together
we been under lots of pressure
Always been the underdog coming out on top together
Helping one another out when we chose to jot these letters
We keeping hitting rock bottom but it’s always gotten better
Remember how you felt on that day you put that gun to your head?
And almost pulled the trigger repainting the basement red
You heard our mom upstairs and you knew she would’ve found you
And that was the day that you changed everything around you
You started making music ‘cause you knew that you use it to your benefit
Any thought you had you was penning it
Any time you wanted shit you had no problem getting it
And this a letter to yourself and now i’m fucking send it

I’ve been writing letters, I’ve been writing letters
I’ve been writing letters, letters to myself
It’s me to me and you to you
I know what you’re going through
Right I feel like hell, so I’ll just write these letters to myself

McKenna, listen to me
You’ve got this shit man, you always have
You’ve always been at your lowest and you’ve always figured it out
Don’t let that shit stop you right now
You’ve got this; we’ve got this
Just push through, I know you’ll make it

I’ve been writing letters, I’ve been writing letters
I’ve been writing letters, letters to myself
It’s me to me and you to you
I know what you’re going through
Right I feel like hell, so I’ll just write these letters to myself
