Advice to My Younger Self

Produced by: Apollo Brown

<Intro>

Yo

Ey yo lil' man

Yeah you man I'm talkin' to you

Come over here man let me holler at you for a second

Yo, yo put the ball down man

Some real ****

Listen

<Verse 1>

What's up little fella? I know you're happy and feeling hopeful

I know you play with a sense of love and your heart is noble

I know you vocally haven't learned to express

Whatever repressed trauma, you're still young you're feeling less

And unless you talk about it, it follows you like a cloud

Or some heavy baggage you have to drag through a crowd

But for now it's just a drop in the well, you shake it off

Never speak it again 'til your career is taking off

But we often overlook what we look upon in a rearview

You never touch a drug cause your parents won't let it near you

You dabble with addiction of money, women and stardom

But the camera lens could be a narcotic, don't try to bargain

If you bought her with a sense of morality, more tragedy

But falls the foundation, I hope you find you some patience

I hope you don't put your faith in man, it never helps

Even trust could be a vice, some advice to my younger self

<Chorus>

Some advice to my younger self

Just advice to my younger self

Some advice to my younger self

Even trust could be a vice, some advice

<Verse 2>

And I tell you, never play it safe and never settle for second

Never hesitate, not even just for a second

Never second guess, if you say it then manifest it

But be careful who you say it to, some people will try to test it

If you think, use reflection, have *** then use protection

If you meet a girl and don't, then make sure you have a connection

If she keeps it then you're stuck with that woman, don't wanna hear it

If she doesn't then the guilt you'll feel later will kill your spirit

Make sure you earn some money but money is not your god

Just a means to purchase things, put family before your job

Put God before your family and love before your lust

Protect yourself at all times, put truth before trust

Never fuss with ignorant folks, actions are much louder

You retreat to keep the peace, that does not make you a coward

If you focus on you, you can never go unfelt

Not a lecture, just a lesson I give to my younger self

<Chorus>

Some advice to my younger self

Just advice to my younger self

Some advice to my younger self

Even trust could be a vice, some advice
