Brandon Carter - Message lyrics

[Intro] This message is for everyone [Verse 1: Brandon Carter] This message is for you grandma No difference with you grandpa It's for my uncles, aunts, and the baby I wish I met I go everyday thinking what it'd be like if y'all never left It's just too unreal for me to believe that you're gone As I see it, there ain't gon' be a way I'll move on Come on man, what's going on? I know, but I hate the fact you'll never respond You'll never pick up again A wound will only heal if you stop touching it But, I can't forget everything you meant to me as a kid I can still feel you even though the tension is stiff I turn back on our past and it shocks me that I fell shy Of all the chances I could've spoke to you that's why When each year winds down, our memories wind up I wish I could grasp you in my arms, and give you a long hug Please send this to them, let them know that they're still loved I just can't forget the face of someone that was my last hope Our time spent, was not wise I'll see you later, cause there's no such thing as "goodbye" [Pre-hook: Malia Carter] I tried to call you, you didn't pick up I wrote a letter, where does it go? I need you right now, Involved in my life You ain't there for me, can't be here to see We have a bond, all honesty for you We can depend on each other, you're loyal They aren't here now But y'all here, and you down [Hook: Brandon Carter] This message is for my family My friends or who's listening Any person that can hear me Any person that I'm missing [Verse 2: Brandon Carter] This message is for you, my friends I hope that this road don't end Actions speak louder than words, I'm just hypocrite But to look at you now, hurts Words can't describe it I've lost friends and family I cannot handle this How do you let go of someplace where you felt welcome When now if you show up, you've invaded and they won't tell you Friendships happen by accident, but we were worthy I thank you for being a part of this journey Hope we, see each other in the future, see how we've turned out 'Cause y'all were close to me, even when we were spread out I'm recording this message, can't tell if you wanna see my face Y'all just kept praying that you got through to me When sometimes, I was through with you You think you've wasted time? I don't think that personally I'm the one who wasted mine, I'm talking socially Yeah, This message is for my friends The ones who answered the call from the beginning I mean this from my heart, I'm positively certain [Pre-hook: Malia Carter] I tried to call you, you didn't pick up I wrote a letter, where does it go? I need you right now, Involved in my life You ain't there for me, can't be here to see We have a bond, all honesty for you We can depend on each other, you're loyal They aren't here now But y'all here, and you down [Hook: Brandon Carter] This message is for my family My friends or who's listening Any person that can hear me Any person that I'm missing [Hook: Malia Carter] This message is for the people The people in this city Any person that ain't listening Listen up and so you can hear me [Verse: Brandon Carter] I've sent more messages in my lyrics, than you've sent in a convo I wasn't supposed to provide a beat you could bobb to Everything can change in the second you aren't trying to This is a simple message I've sent with pride, so This is the explanation I'll summarize, know This is reality Why don't you look around Don't change for anyone But yourself, whom you should rely We were all in my dreams 'Till we exited the borderlines It's 'bout time I've confided Confessed everything, look alive We all tryna live I'm not tryna live a lie I have a way with words Some rappers don't even try Mentality settled in I overcame the odds I had to man up Some fail to do the job I am a renegade Everyday's do or die I am a prodigy My name's where that proof resides I saw Déjà vu These goodbyes seem to multiply I am living legend 'Not exactly what you've expected Now that you know me Never expect less I saved this for later Hoping you've learned my message You are one of us, and we're living in dependence I just wrote a book half these artists don't even get and I've looked into different moments in my life, in my perspective No bird's eye view, but a boy in Armageddon Tryna get through understanding that this is life and we're letting Each millisecond slip from us, I am just in to leaven How you think we got in here, there's no way out our sentence 'Till you enter the gates of reality: Hell or Heaven Just when you think you had it all Watch how it turns the tides What you have listened to Is an example of my life It's what I did for 20 months I gave you peak of what's inside of me You may feel uncomfortable But this is how it has to be We're the tattoos, the glue We are obscene I don't care what you think Don't have to be proud of me We are the ink That's the truth of reality [Hook: Malia Carter] This message is for the people The people in this city Any person that ain't listening Listen up and so you can hear me
