Gm7 D
You’ll be coming out of mommy’s stomach soon
F Edim
I better do something quick if I’ma be able to support you
D#
I can barely support me, but as long as you’re healthy
D
That’s all that matters for the time being
Gm7 D
But obviously, assuming you will be, just thinking ahead
A#maj7
I’ma make it if it kills me
Cm
Let’s see how far I can take it with this music
D
I’m getting sick of chasing this illusion
Sorry for sloppy writing
The pen in my hand’s shaking, please excuse me
Gm7 F#dim
Dad’s a little nervous, but at the same time excited
F7 Edim
If I use this same energy while I’m saying rhymes and write ’em
D#
With the same passion and the same exact enthusiasm
Dm
As I’m using in this letter maybe they can feel me as I’m
Gm7 F#dim
Trying to build these castles out of sand, baby girl
F7 Edim
For you to sit on the throne, I got plans, baby girl
D#
Welcome to mom and dad’s crazy world
Love, daddy
Dm
Maple flavored kisses, buttered pancakes, and syrup

Gm7 F#dim
You got your momma’s personality, same eyes as I got
F7 Edim D#
Her beautiful smile, but your ears are the same size as mine are
F
Sorry for that, a little minor mishap
D
But you’ll grow into ’em baby
Gm7
I’m on the grind now
Dm A#
I’m doing little shows, open mics, all-nighters and studios
Cm
While I’m tryna keep the lights on
Why does it seem like I’m so close to this dream, yet so far?
Gm
I just keep steering
I’m gonna turn into someone
Gm7 F#dim
I haven’t the slightest clue what I’m gonna do if it falls through
F7 Edim
You took your first steps today, you’ll probably walk soon
D#
My Infinite CD flopped, too many soft tunes
Dm
They’re talking bad about dad, it’s ticking me off too
Gm7 Dm
Makes me feel like I don’t belong or something, ooh
F7
I think I might have just stumbled onto something new
D#
Got a prediction for the future, I’m hoping it’s you
Dm
Open this envelope when you’re older and it holds true
[Chorus]

Gm7 F#dim
Now if you found these letters, I guess I better try to explain
F7 Edim
A lot’s happened in between ’em, since I rised to this fame
D#
I’ve said your name but always tried to hide your face
F Dm
This game is crazy, I wanted to claim my love for you but damn
Gm7
I never knew it’d be like this
Dm
If I did I wouldn’t have done it
A#
You ain’t asked for none of this shit
Cm
Now you’re being punished?
Dm
Things that should’ve been private with me and your mother is public
I can’t stomach, they can take this fame back, I don’t want it
Gm7 F#dim
I’ll put out this last album then I’m done with it
F
One-hundred percent finished
Edim
Fed up with it, I’m hanging it up, fuck it
D#
Excuse the cursing, baby, but just know
Dm
That I’m a good person, though they portray me as cold
Gm Dm F
And, if things should worsen, don’t take this letter I wrote as a goodbye note
‘Cause your dad’s at the end of his rope
D#
I’m sliding down a slippery slope
Dm
Anyways sweetie, I better go, I’m getting sleepy
Love dad
Shit, I don’t know
[Outro]
Gm F#dim F Edim D# Dm
