Dear John featuring Common & 10Beats
MC Lyte

[Intro: MC Lyte]

Dear John

Know this life has been filled with stress and pain

If I could, I would take it all away

All away

[Verse 1: MC Lyte]

I know you gotta feel like your back is pinned against the wall most times

But in those times, you remain open

Closed minds will get you nowhere

Gotta move with no fare, so dear

I salute you

Knowing everything you've been through is just a journey

Every man must take the key

For some it's not to make the same mistakes

And fall victim to the chaos the world creates

In the heat of the moment

You can mistake an ally for an opponent

And wipe your own out

What a waste, and an evasive hate

You discover that it's too late

[Hook: 10Beats] (x2)

What you wanna do

So you wanna be ballers, shot callers

Dippin' in the Benz straight lawless

Or would you rather be fathers to your daughters?

Even though it's getting harder

[Verse 2: Common]

A letter to the better, to better the demonstration

Situation got you wishin' for ventilation

Can't a nigga breathe, trying to find what I believe

It's hard for a tree to grow when father figures leave

Plus I got a seed and my baby mama need

Smoke a little weed to keep my mind free

Only God can judge me, so to him I plead

Fifth in my hand, the myth of a man

That I should know it all and I ain't supposed to fall

Getting locked up and boxed up, protocol

Writings on the wall, fighting for the cause

Read a letter from the world and it said It's yours

[Hook] (x2)

[Verse 3: MC Lyte]

Confused with those who say they have your back

I feel your pain, I know you're under attack

To be strong in all things in all ways, just ain't real, so some stray

Lives left in hallways, death's breath is in the air

Let your thirstful life persevere

Someone once said you were chosen

Bus as you gotten older, doors are now closin'

Karma comes around

And all those silly things you did as a grown child are wheelin' down in your direction

But not all hope is lost

Gather your thoughts for the second coming

And I'm guessing you'll be stronger than you've ever been

Ever

[Hook] (x2)
