Beanie Sigel - Dear Self lyrics

[Hook x2 James Blunt] And I see no bravery No bravery, in your eyes Only sadness [Verse 1: Beanie Sigel] Dear self, can I talk to you? I been trying to have this conversation for years but you won't listen Damn, are you that plain ignorant? your so indignant Please come off that high chair your sitting in Before you snatched from it, or strapped to it Ya body used as a conduit, a thousand volts flow through you Ya life gone over something foolish Talking to you is so useless Ya heads harder than them walls you'll be housed in soon Before ya body's embalmed and you lie in tomb Open ya ears, eyes and heart, cause that hour's soon And the hour shall cometh, when Israfel blows his trumpets The sky shall crack, the stars will plummet The sun will rise in the West you'll drown in your own sweat And when that day shall be, I'll bet I'll see no bravery [Hook James Blunt] [Verse 2: Beanie Sigel] Dear self can I talk to you? Dear self can I talk to you? Who are you to lecture me? You question me about my life and the choices I made? How dare you to place me in an early grave? (whoa) Why you gotta talk to me in that fashion? You bury me face down with an open casket, this whole world can kiss mine Tell me what this life got to offer him A crooked preacher and a church alter? A short speech and a long offering? A deep grave and a short coffin? Oh I get it... you righteous now (haha), well let the truth be told You done smoked every blunt I rolled You done drove every car I stole Cooked up every crack I sold You done slept with every trick I laid Collected off every bet I made [laughs] But I guess you done found Christ, I ain't know he was missin (Whoa) Watch your Blasphemy Man I ain't asked to be Just let me live my life Now hold on - No you listen You was there on every decision Whether it was right or wrong And now you trying to right my wrongs You got some nerve - you even give me the words I write in this song You see, my vision's much clearer It's not me but it's you that I see when I look in the mirror And you call yourself saving me? But it's through your eyes that I see, No bravery
