[Verse 1]
Dear Mr. West, my name is Biz and I'm a kid
I'm from the South, whose life changed after College Dropout
Where are my manners Mr. West, pardon me, I'm a mess
I know you just had a daughter, well, well god bless
I know that you gon' make a great father
Enjoy those moments, you can't play those back on tape recorders
Well anyway you are my idol so I must be honest
I heard Yeezus when it leaked but when it dropped I bought two copies, I promise
I can't lie, I didn't love it at first ‘till I rehearsed it
Second time I heard it, tried to understand you as a person
And it worked
Man sometimes I want to scream too
Sometimes I don't agree with sh**, f** it, I'll start a scene too
I was like 13 the last time I seen you
Pissed you ain't perform Family Business at the venue
I'm just like you, dropped out of college for the dream too
And if I'm coming off a little weird I didn't mean to
Sorry

[Verse 2]
Mr. West you are my idol, just to remind you
When I grow up I want to be just like you
Look I'm just like you
They don't get me so they call me psycho
You look down, I hope not suicidal
See me I'm suicidal
She had me feelin' like 808's and Heartbreak
And that's why that album gets no play
I mean it's great but it's just too easy to relate
And honestly there's only so much I can f**in' take before I break
I almost lose it all the time
I was in jail when your mama died
I swear I almost cried like she was mine
I felt your pain, I was close to mine
Once upon a time, that died around the same time
I said I want to rhyme
She wanted me to go to school
I said you came out fine
I mean that's my mom but she can't make me change my mind
Lately depression been creeping back to my mind
So before I'm out of time I really hope you reply

[Verse 3]
Dear Mr. West, I still ain't get no reply
I know you hardly get the time but I really need your advice
See the girl that I been talking ‘bout that ruined my whole life
Kinda like the girl that was you talking ‘bout on “All the Lights”
She promised me that we would be together
(For ever ever? For ever ever? Ever ever? Ever ever?)
She had a new n***a move in
I want to move on and be happy just like you did
Want to be happy for her, you know, like you did
Salute him, you know, like you and Wiz
sh** I don't know, I'm just a kid
Man I swear I try my hardest to forget
But it's harder to forget with all these marks up on my wrist
It's like reminders, for the third time yeah you are my idol
So please tell me something, what do you suggest what I do
And by the way that Graduation was amazing
I almost forgot to tell you ‘bout this show I had couple days ago
I almost brought that pink polo collar back
Cause you ain't using that no more, sh** let me borrow that
And loyalty is hard to find nowadays
And I admire the way that you stuck with Jay, that was great
Matter fact I think I'm straight
Cause if I off myself I'll never get on Ye
Whatever works
Now I'm feeling like you, I been through the wire
I made it past suicidal, a survivor
Told you I'm just like you
